Not because they can't stomach the Financial Risk, but their egos can't stand looking like an idiot or being wrong. I stole one of my richest friends for us this episode. Bill Perkins, multi-billion dollar hedge fund manager, best-selling author of Die With Zero, and amateur poker player, sits with Codie Sanchez to explain how ego keeps people poor and what secrets rich people use to make more money. He shares stories—his $54 million tax bill one year, the importance of decision making, and how to get really impressive people to back you. The talk centers on speed in action, how to assess risk beyond money, and how to find executors who can scale ideas. The guests reflect on risk as ego risk, not financial risk, and how leaving a comfort zone can unlock bigger futures. Perkins emphasizes that life’s urgency requires thinking bigger, moving faster, and enrolling others into your vision so you can execute at scale. Speed implies action, not empty hustle, and the conversation challenges listeners to own their ambitions and execution leadership today.
