    #123: Alfie Robertson: When AI Destroys Money… What’s Left?

    Alfie returns for the 3rd time. We deep dive on his optimism on a future with AI. It’s been interesting seeing the transition in Alfie’s state as he advances into massive success. He’s made millions of dollars but the money isn’t the goal. It’s not the thing that defines him.  This version of Alfie was a different lens to the last two times I’ve chatted with him on The Pocket. Enjoy this beautiful set on the rocks in Bondi Beach as the sun rises.

    #118: I’m doing the opposite of what’s “required to succeed” in 2026 - here’s why

    The most unorthodox approach to achieve success in 2026. I've been sprinting for the last 7 years and one moment a couple months ago rocked me. It made me look within and re-think my approach. So here we are.  Happy New Year all, enjoy!
