    Why California is The Worst | Episode 14

    Does living in California actually make you happier? After a rainy week in SF, Aman and Aadil pulled the data—and the answer is surprising. In this episode: why the Midwest ranks happier than California, what actually makes relationships work (not chemistry), the Stranger Things finale letdown, and what it's like inside a Silicon Valley hacker house at 2 AM. Plus: why Aadil doesn't own a couch, short-term fun vs. long-term growth, and lessons from early Nike when there were no VCs—just bank loans. A raw conversation about values, happiness, and why weather matters way less than you think.

    Is Networking a Waste of Time? | Episode 13

    In this episode, Aman and Aadil debate whether networking events are actually worth your time or just a distraction from real work. They explore the tension between public signals (follower counts, prestigious jobs) and private success (actual income, freedom, lifestyle). Aman opens up about feeling status anxiety around high-earning engineers despite running a more successful business, shares the most racist comments he's ever received on a viral video, and admits why he's still chasing Forbes 30 Under 30. A raw conversation about social capital, status games, and what actually unlocks opportunities in your career.

    Why The Media Is Lying To You (Don’t Trust Them) | Episode 12

    In this episode, Aman and Aadil break down why hiring a “general manager” is one of the most common mistakes in scaling a business. They challenge popular creator-led models, reflect on personal leadership bottlenecks, and react to ChatGPT’s brutally honest take on resilience. The conversation spans hiring, media narratives, and the death of monoculture — from Harry Potter and Marvel to today’s algorithm-driven world. A candid discussion on leadership, leverage, and why both business and culture feel harder to scale than ever.

They explore how modern health risks actually work, from heart disease and LP(a) levels to fitness, nutrition, and the economics of healthy years. Through personal family history, real data, and grounded discussion, they unpack longevity vs quality of life, why prevention beats treatment, and how technology, AI, and deliberate habits are reshaping what it means to age well.

    The Poisonous Mindset That Keeps You Poor (And How To Fix It) | Episode 10

    In this episode, Aman and Aadil dig into loss aversion: the hidden bias that quietly shapes bad decisions in careers, money, and life. Through personal stories, everyday examples, and business case studies, they unpack why people fear losing far more than they value winning — and how that fear keeps them stuck, safe, and underperforming. They explore how loss aversion shows up in everything from investing and job choices to relationships and health decisions, why avoiding the “wrong move” often costs more than making one, and how to reframe risk with clearer thinking.  A thoughtful, candid conversation on decision-making, compounding gains, and learning to play for upside instead of protection.

    I Got 3 $200k+ AI Engineering Offers in 60 Days (Here's How) | Episode 9

    In this episode, Aman and Aadil break down how Aadil landed three $200K-plus AI engineering offers in just 60 days — and what the job search really looks like at the top end of tech. They dive into why startups often beat Big Tech early in your career, the broken incentives of the CS industrial complex, and why so many CS grads still struggle to get hired. They also explore the deeper philosophy behind their approach: progressive overload applied beyond the gym, the truth about genetics vs effort, and why a results-focused mindset matters whether you’re lifting, learning, or interviewing. A grounded look at high-performance careers, deliberate strategy, and the systems that actually move your life forward.

    “There Are No Awards For Hard Work” - Always Use The Cheat Code | Episode 8

    In this episode, Aman and Aadil explore the philosophy of outcomes over process, discussing everything from sugar addiction and stroopwafels to the Mike Israetel PhD controversy. They reflect on arbitrary life choices made in childhood, like picking musical instruments and how strategic thinking about long-term value should guide decisions. The brothers also open up about balding and hair loss treatments, advocating for pragmatic solutions over ego-driven "natural" approaches. Throughout, they champion a results-focused mindset: there's no virtue in struggling unnecessarily when effective tools exist, whether that's finasteride for hair loss, coaching for med school, or creatine for muscle gain.
