The Jack Moses Podcast

Ronen Hayempour is a 14-year-old creator and aspiring entrepreneur on Twitter. He is from Los Angeles, California, and is particularly interested in business, investing, and Stoicism. In this episode, Ronen and I talk about why we started off on Twitter, whether it's smart to turn your Twitter account into a business or keep your business and personal brand separate, and going pretty deep into sleep and Stoic philosophy.I had a ton of fun getting to know Ronen in this episode, and I'm eager to see his growth and progress over the next couple of years. 20 years from now, you may be able to say you first heard Ronen speak at 14 years old on this podcast. I think his future is that bright.Ronen's Twitter:https://twitter.com/RonenHayempourMy stuff:https://linktr.ee/jackmoses0Timestamps1:19 Why we started on Twitter6:30 Ronen’s background and interests9:30 Post high-school plans12:00 Elon16:00 Building net worth to $30M before 2118:56 Monetizing through twitter?22:21 Business ideas24:35 Sleep problems and loneliness30:41 You gotta have fun with twitter33:48 Stoicism43:45 Marcus Aurelius- Meditations47:00 Ryan Holiday and Robert Greene50:06 Ronen’s plan going forward This is a public episode.
