Mohnish Pabrai: How to be a top 1% investor
Less than 1% of Americans who actively pick stocks are good investors. The key to success isn't IQ or complex models, but temperament — patience, humility, and the ability to act decisively only when conditions are perfect.

We hit record on our private strategy session
Sam Parr and Shaan Puri, hosts of the My First Million podcast, hold a public strategy session with their team to reevaluate the show’s direction after 822 episodes and 115 million downloads. They conclude that their core product is strong but under-distributed, and they commit to three major initiatives: launching a clipper army to boost social media reach, exploring intimate live events focused on community and insight, and deepening content around personal growth topics like parenting and happiness. The conversation centers on authenticity, selfish motivation, and leveraging what already works.

How to manufacture a billionaire childhood
This episode of My First Million dives into the rags-to-riches story of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a chemical engineer turned billionaire who built a $40 billion empire through private equity and passion-driven side quests — including funding elite athletic feats and launching a rugged SUV company, the Grenadier, despite losing $2 billion on it. The conversation then shifts to how childhood obsessions shape adult success, the rise of social commerce via TikTok creators, and the surprising profitability (but low defensibility) of user-generated content-driven e-commerce brands.
