Raoul Pal is the Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision and the Founder of Global Macro Investors. Raoul candidly opens up about dealing with massive FUD in early 2023, the impact it had on him, and how he not only overcame the FUD but also doubled down on personal branding and ended up being one of the few ones who publicly went all in SOL when it wasn’t a consensus trade last year. We also go through many other topics: - how the crypto industry is literally built to make you “fuck this up” - where the big blow ups might come from this cycle - why some NFTs are about to go Bananas and why Beeple and Xcopy are the alpha - why Raoul is now more interested by NFTs than by meme coins - what’s the “next SOL” - what could make Raoul change his mind on $SOL - why people in their early 30ies are f*cked and why everyone has “2 jobs” today - why diversification is dead - Crypto, the super massive black hole! - the Banana Zone (of course) And much much more! This conversation is a masterclass on how to build wealth in crypto over the next 8 years (not 8 weeks!) and on how everyone can benefit from this truly generational wealth building opportunity! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN 'KEVIN X SWISSBORG ALPHA CLUB' TO GET BEST ALPHA FROM THE BIGGEST BUILDERS 💰 https://swissborg.com/kevin-follonier SPONSORS 🚀 Jupiter is the most used Decentralized Exchange in Crypto and the largest DEX by volume on Solana. https://jup.ag/ ♾️ Astar Network is a Web3 hub for innovation, offering tools and a blockchain platform for decentralized apps and smart contracts.

Luca Netz is a serial entrepreneur and the owner and CEO of Pudgy Penguins, the leading Web3 IP Company. After a tough childhood and 10 years of homelessness, Luca dropped out of high school at 16 to "go make some money." He started his first company at 18 and, just one year later, was raking in millions from his dropshipping empire, leveraging influencers on Instagram.

In 2022, Luca acquired Pudgy Penguins for $2.5M and completely turned the brand around by applying his "secret playbook"—just like he did with Von Dutch a few years before that, eventually bringing the struggling vintage brand to $100M in annual revenue in less than 1 year!

After just a year at the helm of the Pudgy Penguins brand, the Luca magic has struck again: he has not only managed to get 2,000 Walmart stores to sell Pudgy toys, but he has also created the ultimate community of Web3 builders.

In this episode, we talk about Luca's blueprint for entrepreneurial success, imposter syndrome, how complacency leads to failure, his Web3 "aha" moment, people-pleasing in business, and of course, his mission with Pudgy Penguins: to become the number one NFT project in the world, the face of Web3, and one of the world's most beloved characters and hot IP brands.

Magnus Grimeland is a husband, father, Ironman triathlete, and the Founder of Antler, one of the most active VCs globally. Before building Antler from scratch, Magnus co-founded Zalora, the leading online fashion store in Asia.

In this episode, Magnus recounts how losing a family member at the age of 7 made him question the meaning of life at a very young age and gave him the drive and ambition to achieve great things in life: from receiving a scholarship for college, to studying alongside Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin at Harvard, to becoming a partner at McKinsey, to building the leading online fashion store in Asia, to now being world's day zero investor supporting founders globally in the hardest and most creative moment of their entrepreneurial journey - the inception.

We also talk about how to find one's life purpose early, happiness, having kids at a young age, mental health, how to develop judgment, and the concept of "frontloading" which is key for entrepreneurs to achieve success.
