Episode notes

Ryan Reynolds, he sold Mitten Mobile for $1.35 billion. He's also Canadian, right? Oh, yeah, it's from Vancouver, baby. So people go check out his Twitter handle. This is like Joe Rogan selling the fleshlight in one of his first podcasts. Do you want to van Wilder? I've watched that film that 10 times. Incredibly. Successful Hollywood entrepreneurs ever.

Trung & Bilal discuss Balaji's $1m Bitcoin bet, the banking crisis, Ryan Reynolds business empire, Trung’s meme going super viral and GPT-4.
