Patrick Bet-David fled Iran as a kid, lived in a refugee camp in Germany, served in the U.S. Army, then built an insurance company from 66 agents to 60,000 and sold it for 17 times earnings. On Read The Room, he sits down with Kyle Kuzma to talk about the AI shift that’s already here: the jobs it can’t replace, why tech companies may want you scared, and how one person used AI to build a business making $60 million a year.
They also get into why PBD thinks this is the worst time in history to move slow, a plan for no federal income tax for anyone under 30, where he’d put his money right now, and why he believes the most powerful person on earth soon won’t be a president.
