Episode notes

Successful people in business are usually highly focused on their work, often at the expense of other aspects of their life.
Having a lot of money allows for the ability to buy more things and go more places.
However, with increased wealth comes a decrease in the number of people who can be trusted and a decrease in the amount of honest communication received.
Miria aims to address these downsides through its community aspect.

Dubbed during his career as “The Man Who Knows What the World’s Richest People Want (and How To Get It),” Rey Flemings has years of experience dealing with success. He sees it every day as the co-founder and CEO of Myria, a company that provides concierge services to fewer than 100 elite clients with a combined wealth of over $400 billion. On this episode, Flemings discusses what he’s learned about wealth, money, success and happiness while on the job, how he makes impossible tasks possible, and what it was like to try and smuggle ventilators into New York City during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Flemings founded Myria in 2021 and has worked in the luxury services industry since 2017. He also served as the founder and CEO of Stripple, a web imagery monetization company, and CEO of Particle, an Internet services company acquired by Apple.
