Today he's the founder of Magic Mind (approaching $100M in sales), an angel investor in 150+ companies including OpenAI and Liquid Death, and wakes up to surf every morning. What changed? A deep dive into 5,000-year-old Advaita Vedanta philosophy that rewired how he works, leads, and lives. In this episode: the burnout moment that broke him, why &quot;wanting it more&quot; is a trap, the principle &quot;attach you lose, detach you gain,&quot; how he evaluates 1,700 investment deals a year, what he learned from sitting next to Brian Chesky at Airbnb, and a breakdown of the Magic Mind formula. Plus: a deep nootropics conversation with Ryan on Piracetam, Alpha GPC, Ashwagandha, Cordyceps, and more.
