Anthony Pompliano — investor, entrepreneur, and media powerhouse — returns four years and 228 episodes later to discuss his new book, How To Live an Extraordinary Life - https://www.amazon.com/Live-Extraordinary-Life-Anthony-Pompliano/dp/0857199927/ref=sr_1_1?crid=346WX1GECFNJL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7-bRDjNOwRWQPUgH0AKP1Q.u367VmSAElY8UL6lCi7ulopI5KR90ifY1eHFHCc8jbQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=how+to+live+an+extraordinary+life+by+anthony+pompliano&qid=1722277865&sprefix=how+to+live+an+extra%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-1, a collection of 65 heartfelt letters to his two children. At just 36, Anthony has already invested in circa 200 companies, served in Iraq with the U.S. Army, built and sold multiple businesses, and created one of the world’s largest independent media platforms. You don’t accomplish all that without learning a thing or two, and in this episode we dig into his hard-earned insights — from the uniting traits of the world’s smartest people, to the luxury of pessimism, to why luck isn’t real. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
