So I researched (read, typed into Google) the name of the first person you mentioned. Found this.

Seems like he picked up marketing and absorbed everything he could about it. Then started his own business and got a few clients.
Then he got a few more.
Then he hired people.
Then he got more clients.
Then he hired more people.
Doesn't look like there was a secret sauce. Just work, work, work. No business plan outlining how to take over the industry or anything like that. He created a way to add value and help local businesses, made his sales, and then scaled.

His interview was a good read. Apparently he's still studying to become a surgeon, and he wants to do pro-bono work because he 'd be able to afford it. I like the guy.
