    Sahil Bloom is an author, investor, and content creator who quit his high-paying finance job after realising he'd only see his parents 15 more times before they died, and this conversation reveals his framework for the five types of wealth, why autopilot in life is the single greatest risk, and how anything above zero compounds.


    This covers why he invests in founders who can get punched in the mouth repeatedly and figure it out, how his investments range from healthcare advocates to humanoid robots, and why he uses AI agents for logistics but never outsources the creative work he actually enjoys doing.

  • E134 - Patrick Bet-David: World War 3, Manosphere & Becoming Irreplaceable

    Patrick Bet-David built Valuetainment into a media empire, and this conversation reveals why nobody truly knows what's happening in geopolitics even on the inside, how creating stakeholders makes society safer, and why loving the game matters more than tolerating the grind.


    Learn why societies become safer when people have equity, families, and assets to protect, versus nothing to lose, and how Dubai's lack of military becomes concerning when cheap drones meet expensive defences. This covers why he interviews everyone from controversial figures to world leaders as long as they're respectful, how shutting down YouTube three times at 488K subscribers forced the decision to build a major media company or quit entirely, and why the Michael Jordan "love of the game" clause captures what separates passion from obligation.

  • E133 - Supercar Blondie: How I Built a $100M Brand & Youtube Channel
    Mar 17 2026

    » Produced by Hack You Media: pioneering a new category of content at the intersection of health performance, entrepreneurship & cognitive optimisation.

    Website: https://hackyou.media/


    Alex Hirschi built Supercar Blondie from a radio hosting job in Dubai to a global media brand, launched SBX Cars auction platform, and this conversation reveals why she left security in 2017 when colleagues said "see you in two months," how Facebook's golden era paid $1M monthly before collapsing 10x, and why diversifying across platforms became a survival strategy.


    Learn why she loves Dubai's rapid change instead of romanticising the past, how SBX Cars fills the gap between collectors flying to physical auctions and wanting curated high-end listings without $30K cars next to $3M ones, and why the platform ships supercars globally from Dubai to Hong Kong. This covers why YouTube builds brand loyalty better despite inconsistent revenue, how AI scammers use her face with different voices to target lonely people, and why documenting everything makes life feel less genuine.
