parlaying
Turning gains into more
Parlaying is turning one thing into something greater through successive stages.
The word comes from betting, where you parlay winnings from one wager into stakes for the next: He parlayed a $50 bet into $500.
More broadly, it means leveraging any advantage into bigger gains: She parlayed her social media following into a book deal, parlaying connections into a career.
