Hey! I really enjoyed this interview great insights! One thing you mentioned stood out to me, where you said, "You have to become the aesthetic of the company." As a Gen Z, I get that we're often expected to "play the game" in terms of aligning with company culture. But does that mean my whole identity has to revolve around the company? I'm in my 20s, with two degrees and 5-6 years of experience, yet I'm still underpaid and can't afford a decent apartment. I’m not trying to sound negative or not say i am not willing to 'grind' , but it makes me wonder: in my free time, do I really need to embody the company’s aesthetic too? (For context, I work in marketing.) Is it possible to have boundaries between work and personal life? And if that level of commitment is truly expected, shouldn’t they at least pay a livable wage? Just some food for thought!

James you’re a great business podcast host, IMO cause you’ve got a wide range of real world entrepreneurial experiences + you’re a writer + a chess player meaning you’re able to mix various intellectual bottles which make for a fine conversational cocktail! 👍

And look at how many more comments this episode has versus an average one. Scott's message and speaking is clearly moving a lot of people men and women alike. Interesting

I think Galloway is a unique teacher. His advice is interesting and different. But he ain't talking to guys like me. Despite coming from a single mother household (like me), he described his 20s in very...VERY waspish terms. He had a super smart mom and had tons of mentors and upwardly mobile people around him. My parents had nothing to teach. I was marginally employed, no mentors, and mostly homeless for 20 years until I got my shit together. Saving and investing money, although smart, would have been a complete fantasy for me. Upper-middle class kids, listen to this guy and take notes. For you knockaround guys like me, find someone dumber to motivate you.

Some jobs the top 10% make exactly the same as the bottom 90%. Union meat cutters make the same, unless you move to a different state. You’ll have to own your own business to make more than what the union rate is.

22:36 Scott’s advice is for people who are already mostly successful. He struggles to address the every man type person. He’ll admit he was lucky with his trajectory and doesn’t know how to repeat it or how it actually happened. Great discussion though.

27:36 When you grow up with very little money, you tend to hyper-focus on economic security. Kids, who never struggled with the looming threat of poverty, will probably never develop the deep desire to over achieve or take risks for upward mobility.

Family from New York, all left as soon as they could. Absolutely would never consider living in NYC ever.. Agree that NY might have greater opportunities, but perhaps counterintuitively, thus goes to show those outside of that place that have less opportunities and are successful are probably better at translating opportunity into actual success.

As a white guy I think these folks are a bit delusional. I do really well but the reality is not everything people do fro work is rewarding. If you want to make money by "financial gimmicks" then I agree NY is your place. On the other hand if you do real work like the trades, teaching, Info Tech, legal, medical at the worker level you will never be rewarded significanly nor will be wealthy most of the time. I did a long tech stint at Bloomberg. I always laugh about the "5 people you know..." theory, its always spoken by people that make their money running financial gimmicks, You know stock, hedge funds, real estate, tech start ups founders, etc.Love to what the top 10% of HVAC professionals, Teachers, Firefighters make in NYC.... Sure that will get you far. Lastly, they want everyone to believe that life is a zero sum game, its not...for most of the world.

I usually just listen while doing dishes/chores, driving, DoorDashing, working, etc. Because there’s not much visual value to discussions/interviews like this that I listen-to/watch: usually on topics like personal dev, economics, investing, crypto, history, politics, philosophy, etc. - I can either sit on my butt & stare at a guys face & shoulders, or just listen while I’m doing other productive things.

Huge opportunities in trades jobs? Spoken like a filthy rich New Yorker. I live in a working class burb of Chicago. Most of the guys I know are in trades. Tough way to bread on the table.

Yeah.... totally depends on the city and the trade. Union or not etc. As someone who works on the industry I see it all- broke TFWs doing labour (or women even) and the richest bosses flaunting their formen lunches. Its all over the place on who makes money and who doesn't

“For the majority of our time on this planet our species has not lived past 35” - see this is what annoys me about Scott sometimes. Great insights generally but he is the embodiment of a western hardcore capitalist when it comes to the breadth of his knowledge. Life before America and market capitalism was not all medieval plague ridden societies, Scott. Humans were able to live healthy, relatively peaceful lives all over the place, from hunter gatherer societies to agricultural ones, from Japan to Aboriginal Australia and Patagonia. It’s a pedantic niche point, but I do think it speaks to Scott’s penchant for sweeping statements

Not everybody moves to NYC with the sole intention of getting rich. Had NYC only attracted those types of people over the past few decades, the city would never have built the name it now has. The arts are what made this city cool let’s not forget….not the finance bros who worked at Morgan Stanley. The problem is not the arts have pretty much left as they can no longer exists in this city so what we have is a lot of people who are already rich, and a lot of people trying to join the club. Nothing wrong with trying to get rich of course but the sole has been stripped from the city as a result.
