    Interest rate is currently at 4.75%(8th rate hike since March last year) Inflation at 7% and mortgage rates is at over 7.5% but yet minimum wage remains the same and my retirement portfolio has suffered tremendously these past years, so my question is how do senior citizens retire and live off such unstable economy. The long term game is obviously not for me at this point.

      In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using it well

    One food for thought - my 2 cents worth - for the gentleman is that his website and marketing messages and overall positioning needs a total rethink! As he correctly said that his solution is beyond doing customer support better. I think that fact doesn’t come out well.

But as you said, the formula, for most or at least in recent times, has been money and connections. Money isn't so easy now. My point was silicon valley is not the density of ambitions, it is the density of people chasing money and connections.

Though the past 20 years have been ruled by web1.0/2.0, which brought in new talent, fast money and greed percolated since 1998.

    Was hoping that for a change, this person would turn out to be a Hindiwallah achiever, and not the usual South Indian achiever. Turns out he is also of South Indian heritage. But no problem. Atleast the Hindiwallahs are achieving great heights in Mandir-Masjid, Beef - no beef, upper caste - lower caste, rioting etc. etc. Switch on any Hindi news channel and all you get to see is Mandir, Mandir and more Mandir. Or something Hindu - Muslim or some such.

    Indians have a lot of ambition that's why they thrive in the US. It's funny that despite having that suppressed ambition people aren't able to build a thriving environment for that ambition. And I don't think thats necessarily on just being open to funding but what precedes it; social mentality. Who can succeed and has a lot to do with gender, age, caste, perception etc etc. It's a big commentary that I think also includes a kind of numbness & confusion that the population has been experiencing since achieving "freedom". Freedom not just from colonial rule, but a sudden shift from monarchies to democracy, barter & social class structured jobs to capitalism & trade etc etc.

    Wonderful to see such a nice video good content. we all need to win to enable us to overcome recession and inflation.
    It started with passion. I grew up surfing, skating and snowboarding and my dream when I was older was to have a lifestyle brand such as the ones I loved and wore in high school.
    I started selling t-shirts but found a niche in headwear that allowed me to go around the apparel contracts and sponsor the biggest athletes in the world in a category that was being overlooked. That was the little opening I saw in a crowded market and I used that as a starting block to build a global brand.
    The first thing I did was hustle. I knew my product was not better than what was out there. I just sold the dream and vision I saw in my head and convinced others to jump on the journey and I never stop investing which help me grow. Dream Big and follow your dream every single day until you are living the dream every day.
