In this episode, we dive straight into the recent FTX verdict that is sending major ripples though the financial world with the announcement of a potential 100+ year sentence on the horizon.  Patrick Bet-David, founder, creator mentor and highly successful serial entrepreneur joins me to explore the concept that only the paranoid survive. This isn't about living in fear, but rather about being alert, aware, and ready for any curveball life might throw our way. It's about realizing that paranoia can be a powerful tool in taking precautionary measures to safeguard your future. The FTX case is a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the critical need to stay informed. This episode is not just about facing the hard truths, but also about developing resilience and adaptability. It's about equipping you with the tools and mindset necessary to navigate the turbulent waters ahead. So buckle up for an enlightening journey into the realities of success and economic landscape.
