Episode notes
Choose The Right Platform For Wealth
- If you can access elite corporate platforms like Google, take that path to get rich slowly and gain benefits.
- If you lack fit for big firms, choose entrepreneurship or trades where fewer people compete and pay is stronger.
Go Where Capital Avoids
- Target boring, underserved industries (like AI+healthcare, trades, infrastructure) where capital and talent are scarce.
- Avoid romantic industries like restaurants or fashion if your primary goal is wealth creation.
Tradeoffs Between Wealth And Balance
- You can't have top-1% income and work-life balance simultaneously; expect decades of intense work to reach elite wealth.
- Align with a partner on sacrifice, savings, and work to sustain that path.
