Hey guys, on today's episode, I chat with Chamath Palihapitiya about becoming a billionaire at age 32, his investing principles, and the "nuclear reactor" that drives him to help solve inequality and climate change. - Trey IMPORTANT: We would like to remind the TIP Community to beware of cyber scams & phishing attacks.

lol his mis is just turned up way too high

[@moosesnWoop]

Billionaire vs Millionaire smh

[@kim789kim791]

Sadly all SPAC sponsored by his firm has done terribly and investors have lost lots of money. Also investors were led to believe companies his VC firm were launching via SPAC would be disruptive and on the right side of innovation.

[@BrianRabben]

You’re overloading your mic...move back a bit

[@sinesaii]

I hope Chamath can find his way to a few dozen university campuses. His insights would be so important to young women & men before they start their careers. Then again, most non-economics university professors would probably want to lynch him for holding “incorrect opinions.”

[@yaghiyahbrenner8902]

The guy is a fraud.

[@marimoedmond]

Chamath was extremely generous on this interview, so many gems dropped!

[@centem2003]

He is such a negative inspiration to people. Its very easy to notice the egoistic and narcissistic and wanting the be the smartest man on the room speaking so loudly through his veins. This is the first time I am hearing him speak but he exists so that I can point to people and say - 'don't be that person'. Thank you for bringing in diverse guests on your show.

[@urbanart7325]

That shining light is quickly dimming

[@mahirhaque1801]

Love Chamath as a fellow South East Asian but Chamath is a momentum type. Warren Buffet is a true value investor. They have two entirely different philosophies.

[@atulsoni5658]

Great!!! Thank you for sharing it with here.

[@nickchandra4890]

The Pied Piper of SPACS in The New Yorker is another good article on him. I think Buffett will be safe for a long while. Reminds me of Buffett's comment " When the tide goes down you know who has been swimming naked". There will be lot of stranded naked swimmers when this bubble burst.

[@goldmanforex123]

Cant wait to host you Chamath in Ghana 🇬🇭 in the near future as part of our Youth Parliament Entrepreneurs Workshop.

[@theohiorebel]

Great convo. Cheers!

[@mosabari7681]

This team vs family distinction is awesome

[@ministryoftruth596]

Where can I get the presentation that Chamath mentioned analysing early Amazon?

[@dy2cakc1]

Fabulous.

[@NoticerOfficial]

Such an atom bomb of a quote: A company with mediocre people and a great product will always triumph over a company with a mediocre product and great people. If you have a great product, that team has put their biases to the sideline, either by listening or intuition snd invention, an ability to creat some level of product-market-fit that is ultimately able to give this customers something they need/want. That level of obsession may manifest in a group that may seem rude, but to the market they are incredible. A company is a for-profit expression of intellect. Things that belong in a social club or a family that are misplaced in an office, under a collective can’t win. Winning is suppressing bias to allocate capital to the product.

[@ChrisFranco]

Respectfully, but to say he is building Berkshire 2.0 is to say you’ve never studied Berkshire.

[@lancebartlett3892]

100%. Charmath is great, but his interest and knowledge couldn't be further from Charlie Monger if you tried. Square, Coinbase and Robin hood Vs Coca Cola and See's candy....um yea. Charmath makes his money shilling companies he angel invested when they IPO, simple as that.

[@nickchandra4890]

These guys are deleting my posts but this is the reality. Very interesting article

[@tonymontana1965]

berkshire 2.0 peddles trashy spacs. who knew.

[@censorshipagainstthemiddle6198]

Perfect interview Style. Most interviewers that interview Chaumont hog all the microphone time

[@Alboman9]

This interview is amazing and the golden part of this interview is 14:16 - 16:43 . There is a lot to learn from this part and many people can relate to it. If i had to share this with someone who has no time, this would be the only part I want to share. 👏👏

[@TheInvestorsPodcastNetwork]

Thank you so much!🙌

[@russp622]

Gee! It's quite refreshing to hear an immigrant not bitching about racism and why the rest of the world is responsible for their misery, but speak for self-reliance and founding principles of the country for once

[@OldTiger-hd5oy]

There are so many immigrants like that. You just don't know them. Maybe you know only those who gripe.

[@superskarmory3000]

I appreciate his outlook on being able to do what you want regardless of being Sri Lankan. Felt that

[@agrippamarcus6533]

Chamath has been excellent in building Boiler Room 2.0 and sure is giving Jordan Belford a run for his money! LMAO

[@marionharris5952]

What does this mean?

[@agrippamarcus6533]

@@marionharris5952 he is an used car salesmen and duped thousands of naive investors of their hard earned savings, suckered them into buying his crappy companies

[@ArchesBro]

@marionharris5952 Chamath is a scammer, the original comment is comparing him to a famous scammer who sold risky investments to vulnerable people. People who invest in Chamath's companies lose LOTS of money, and he doesnt even believe in the companies because he sells immediately after he pumps up the stock

[@censorshipagainstthemiddle6198]

Can you do a breakdown of the fermenting angle?

[@magicsaint]

Such an interesting perspective about immigrants and hardship and how they already have an edge in mindset because of the hardship or simply rejecting the norm.

[@enstai]

One suggestion, you don't need to get so close to the microphone. Being too close to the microphone makes the sound unclear and creates noise.

[@georgejr84]

the goat, thank you

[@goodgirlmorrison531]

Why all the negative from people ? He is not forcing anyone to listen to him talk. If some people do not want to listen hey it's your computer, tablet , phone how about you touch the mute button or even turn it off. But I will tell you even if you don't like him there might be something you could learn that could be used to impact your life in a positive way. Look for good in people and stop being so negative.

[@edgibbs3229]

I’m very surprised Chamath was interviewed. He strikes me as many notches below the people who you’d like to emulate.

[@kumarasinghebandara1916]

His professional approach and ability to analyse the trends in the future global financial market prove that he is heading towards the top hundred 💯 BILLIONERS category in the world one day. Congratulations 👏👏CHAMATH.

[@humble_chad9372]

Chamath is not a value investor, why is building another Berkshire? Buffet learned to pivot from cigar butt to growth company, but his entire focus has never deviated from company’s cash flow. Even with apple, he did not even invest until 2016. Why? value investors are so misused in these days.

TIP 355: Start a SPAC for Virgin Galactic and bail on it while your "counter fraud investor friends" happily lap up the crap that you feed them because "the position unfortunately had to be sold"

[@z5m2]

Tip 356: Pump TLSA publicly as a "distributed energy business" that could double or even triple, while privately (and simultaneously) liquidating your entire TLSA position because you don't "have an infinite pool of capital. So when I (you) have these ideas, the money has to come from somewhere." May not be illegal, but its sure seems highly unethical. Caveat emptor with his "advice" or "expert opinion"....

[@SHANONisRegenerate]

Some nice quotes in there. Good interview and good to hear from you Chamath

[@costakonti]

CEOs of google,Microsoft and Adobe all came from the same school in India!!

[@lifegrip6477]

Excellent interview. Great to hear you both touch on emotions, self worth and your own intuition and tie it into self-development, investing and a meaningful life.

[@TheInvestorsPodcastNetwork]

Thank you for listening!

[@sams8502]

He's very relatable, his interview Scott Wapner on Tesla and Jim Chanos was extremely inspiring. To see the level of conviction and character that he has to speak back so eloquently to Scott who was trying to act like a bully and using pressure. I honestly think him and Cathy Wood saved Elon and Tesla from collapse.

[@agrippamarcus6533]

Have you seen his conviction when getting people to buy Virgin Galactic and even stronger convictions when he dumped the shares? LOL

[@xxrngxx5]

Trey you should've bring on Christopher Bloomstran as well. Without Chamath knowing of course

His recognition of starting-line lacks as what pushed him forward; choosing to see it as a blessing, rather than a hinderance, is super powerful.
