Nima
Let's make some excuses here, you know?
- [00:02]
Sean
Yeah.
- [00:03]
Nima
Because the fact of the matter is, is that if a guy were to commit suicide and he's a physically capable man, it's selfish, because you're not going to be there for your mother and father. Imagine if they also had to go through that winter of their life knowing that their son committed suicide. How selfish that is.
- [00:27]
Sean
Okay, guys, Alpha King Nima here today in Miami. How long you been out here, man?
- [00:33]
Nima
So thanks for having me.
- [00:34]
Sean
Yep.
- [00:34]
Nima
First off, I've seen your show quite a bit. I'm finally glad we get to get to hang out, man. Yeah, yeah.
- [00:40]
Sean
I've been seeing your stuff, too, man.
- [00:41]
Nima
Yeah, man. I mean, wow. So, yeah, so, man, you know, I. I'm here and in Germany. My wife and daughter were born in Germany.
- [00:50]
Sean
Wow.
- [00:50]
Nima
Yeah. I met him in Spain at an Airbnb. I was just backpacking, you know, I had a tiny room years ago, in my 30s. She was in her 20s. And then we met. She came out to Miami like, six weeks later, seven weeks later, first date, took her to a little Cuban spot. And years, years later, we got family.
- [01:12]
Sean
Let's go.
- [01:12]
Nima
Yeah, man. And now I got a home in Germany. So I go back and forth.
- [01:15]
Sean
That's cool.
- [01:17]
Nima
One thing that makes America special, you know, Germany is a beautiful country, man, a very beautiful country. It's just that if you're not. If you're in a homogenous country and you're not part of that ethnic group, you're always a foreigner. Whereas in the United States, and it's not just Germany, you could go to South Korea, you go to China, you go to Iran, you go to Nigeria. Same thing. It's not exclusive to Germany. I love Germany. It's just that in the United States, anyone can be German. I mean, anyone can be American. Anyone can be American here. My wife was born in Germany. She comes here, she's American, and she fits right in. I think that's. I think that's what makes the United States truly special. And I say that as an expat who spends. You know, in the last year, I've probably spent about four or five months, maybe six months over. Yeah, Actually more than that. Yeah. About six months overseas.
- [02:07]
Sean
Wow.
- [02:08]
Nima
Yeah.
- [02:09]
Sean
So that's interesting. I know. And a lot of people won't even know that because they don't travel outside the country, so they don't know what they got right here.
- [02:15]
Nima
Yeah. Especially Americans that have never gone to the opposite side of things, you know, Like, I've. I, for example, I've gone to a Palestinian neighborhood in Israel. I've also gone to China, Communist country more than once. I've, you know, I've, I've gone to Iran, I've gone to Germany, I've gone to, you know, obviously here in the United States when you go to these opposites, you, you, you get a great, you, you get a, a greater sense of empathy for others. But, but it's important to also have empathy for the people who don't do it. And that's the majority because then you come off like an elitist. Then you come off intellectually arrogant. And I think that, I think that after a while, man, you start getting successful. I'm 44. I'm probably a lot, lot older than you. You know you're in your 20s, right?
- [03:01]
Sean
28.
- [03:02]
Nima
Yeah, yeah. Young man, you know, so I'm middle aged. So, you know, when you get more and more successful, it's so, it's, it's, it sounds, it's a cliche, almost sounds dorky, but it's true. It's like when you're extremely intelligent, you have an extremely high iq, you're extremely successful financially, man. Like having learning the patience to still be considerate and kind to people who are not as fast as you. So when you have to explain something to them, you do it with politeness. And, and because otherwise, man, it's a, you're gonna like, It's a nasty way to go, man. Like, I'll give you an example. My wife is a great cook, fantastic cook. She's also like an engineer in our home. She knows how to fix things. I don't. I could put her down and say how I'm good at X, Y and Z and she is, but I try not to because she's always considerate to me at what I don't know. Hmm.
- [04:03]
Sean
I love that, you know, focusing on your strengths and acknowledging each other's weaknesses.
- [04:08]
Nima
Yeah. Yeah, man. I could never have my family without my wife, man. My, my wife, my wife is more good to me than I am to her, man. I, I, I work way too much. It's very hard for me. You know, it's, I, she deserves way more attention. My, you know, it's, you know, I love what I do.
- [04:24]
Sean
No, you need a good wife when you're an entrepreneur because our lifestyle is unpredictable.
- [04:28]
Nima
Especially if I could tell you love what you do. Yeah, when you love what you do, bro, it's like you can work non stop and you don't even look at the out like, like when's the last point, you were like, okay, man, I'm gonna get off at 4 o' clock. I can't wait till 4 o' clock to get off.
- [04:43]
Sean
I've never thought like that, Right. I've done eight podcasts today and I'm still super energized. And I love it.
- [04:48]
Nima
Right? So, like, I've never thought to myself, like, alarm, 7am darn, I gotta get to work at 8 and I can't wait till 4 o' clock to get off. I've never thought like that for maybe 20 years. Something like that, you know?
- [04:59]
Sean
Yeah.
- [05:00]

If you're building something, doesn't matter if it's a business, a brand, or just a better version of yourself, then you already know the work never really stops. Your brain is always on ideas at 2am, problems at 3, plans at 4. But here's the truth. If you never shut down, you're going to crash fast. That's why I use Sambrosa. It's not hype, it's. It's not some trendy sleep hack. It's a legit syrup that helps you fall asleep when your brain won't let you. You take it and 20 to 30 minutes later you're out. Not groggy, not jogged up just to sleep like you're supposed to be. Then you wake up clear, with no brain fog, no dragging yourself out of bed. You get your hours in and you actually feel like you slept. Sleep isn't optional. It's not self care, it's strategy. If you're not getting it right, you're leaving energy focus and money on the table. So Sambrosa helps me sleep, it helps me execute. That's the only reason I talk about it. You want to get ahead? Start by getting real rest. Check out the link below in their website, www s a m b r o s a sambrosa.com.
- [06:00]
Nima
At least years and years. Because I love what I do. I love working.
- [06:03]
Sean
Yeah. If anything, it's the opposite. I want more time to work.
- [06:06]
Nima
Yeah. I wish I could get an extra five hours at night. I would go. I would go all the way. But then it's like I'm crunching in how much hours I sleep, you know?
- [06:13]
Sean
Yeah.
- [06:14]
Nima
Now here's the thing.
- [06:15]
Sean
Are you a wife and kids getting married this year? So. Yeah. Kids on the way? Hopefully soon.
- [06:19]
Nima
Oh, wonderful, man. It's, it's. I think the. I think the two things I wish I would have known before I got married is, number one, how much attention you should give your wife. Don't underestimate how much attention you should give your wife, man, on a daily basis. Because when you're single, you can just work like an animal, you know, and you just completely free. And if, and if you don't, you know, you could have all the success in the world. You don't give your wife attention, you're a loser. Yeah, you should go to a personal trainer.
- [06:52]
Sean
That's what happens to some people. Yeah.
- [06:54]
Nima
You know, and then you get bitter like Myron on Fresh and Fit, you know, right. Like 38, 35 years old, still bitter, you know, but you don't, you don't need to do that, you know, it's, it's if you, if, you know, one of the, one of the saddest things actually about the red pill space is how there's not more older men who are actually in healthy marriages with the same woman for years. I've never cheated on my wife. I wouldn't trust a man who cheats on his wife. I just point, full stop, I could never trust you in business if I know you cheat on your wife. I have no doubt in my mind if you can cheat on the woman that you pillow talk with, you'll fuck me in business easily. Easy. Because it says so much about your shortcoming as a man, your lack of principles and values, morals and ethics. What's more, because you're not just cheating on your wife, bro, you're cheating on your children, you're cheating on your, her parents. You know that my wife's got this big German father, man. He's like a Viking. He took me in like a son and, and if I cheated on her, I cheat on him, you know? Yeah, I can't, I couldn't do that. I cheated on my daughter. I couldn't even get hard to cheat on that. I couldn't even get hard to cheat on my wife because there's so much love for the family. And nothing would bring me more happiness than having a daughter. I think a lot of these guys, man, that, that disrespect, mistreat women. They, when they, if they have a daughter, they say like the biggest playboys had a daughter. You know, I got a daughter, I live them, I live with, you know, my regret, I live with heavy on my conscience. I paid a price for what I did. And I think this last night or the other night, I thought there was a Jay Z said something about, I hope my daughter doesn't pay the price for her father's sins. Damn, he said something like that years back. You know, in my generation Jay Z was like the hero. Now he's slaughtered, you know? You know, but in my generations, when he said that, it. I was thinking, like, I hope my daughter doesn't pay the price for what I've done. You know, maybe. Maybe, you know, I try to always be polite with women, but maybe I didn't. You know, I didn't. I didn't take them seriously. I just used them, maybe for sex and kept it casual. Maybe they liked me more than I'd like to. Like that.
- [09:15]
Sean
And that type of lifestyle is heavily promoted these days.
- [09:18]
Nima
Yeah, I mean, you're hurting someone's daughter, and I would never want someone to hurt my daughter.
- [09:25]
Sean
Yeah, it's. It's a glorified. I think Dan Bazerian was the first to kind of put it in the mainstream. Just hook up with as many women as possible.
- [09:33]
Nima
You know, I mean, Dan Bazarian is. I mean, to take put into context, Dan Bazerian has sold out America. He went. He served the Armenian military. He has several SEC lawsuits with fraud. I don't see him at all as a. As a role model, man.
- [09:53]
Sean
His father's banned from the country.
- [09:55]
Nima
I think, bro, we got. I mean, if that's your role model, man.

And I mean, you know, yeah, I.
- [11:06]
Sean
Think a lot of.
- [11:07]
Nima
I know it's not yours. I'm just.
- [11:09]
Sean
I'm just saying, I think from the perspective of people that idolize people like that, I think they're very vulnerable. They're on social media, and they're like, mentally not there. And they look for, like, a male role model, and they see a guy that's jacked and getting woman money, and they idolize them.
- [11:26]
Nima
Yeah. And the thing is, man is like the social media is that rage bait. I heard. You know, I heard you did a podcast with the sev. The talented kid. Orthodox Jewish kid, very talented. And it's like, man, the rage bait is what works. So it's like a race to the bottom, right? It's like it's legitimate. Legitimately. Like a race to the bottom.
- [11:47]
Sean
Yeah.
- [11:47]
Nima
You know, I feel like Kanye's like. Kanye's like, format of creativity. It's sort of becoming predictable. I'll explain why. Like, it's almost like I'll take anything that's not popular and make it popular. So, for example, I'll take the Nazi logo, make it popular, because no one would do that. I'll talk about, you know, the Jews should go to. You know, it's all the Jews fault because he shouldn't talk about. So he'll talk about it, or he'll say something like, he. He'll attack Jay Z or he'll attack maybe whatever. Like a Kendrick Lamar, whatever. Drake, whatever. Like, he'll attack the people that you should never attack. They're institutions. Or he'll talk about how he was given a blow job to his cousin till the age of 14. It's like, I'll talk about exactly what I'm not supposed to talk about. Anything you're not supposed to talk about, he'll talk. And it's. To me, that's not so much creativity. I feel like Kanye is a very talented, gifted person, more than I could ever do with music. I could never make the music he makes. I love his music. It's just. It's almost. My friend. My friends explained it to me perfectly. He said Kanye is like. Like, now he's. He's this older guy, like in the New York subway, for example, who's just talking to himself. Like, in New York, you see guys just talking to themselves, and it's like he sort of lost his mind. He's not the same Kanye he was in his 20s and 30s. You know, like, Kanye in his 20s and 30s was enough. Now we're talking to a guy who's, you know, midlife, 50s or whatever. He. He's gone off the reservation. It's not the same person. So I try to. I try, you know, I try to have some empathy for the guy. I hope that doesn't happen to me. I mean, people are Getting dementia at earlier. In earlier ages now. So people are. People are getting cancer at earlier ages?
- [13:43]
Sean
Yeah, everything. Every disease.
- [13:46]
Nima
But I do think that in the next five, 10 years, we're going to have a lot of these cancers are going to get solved.
- [13:53]
Sean
I hope so.
- [13:53]
Nima
With artificial intelligence, you're pumped about AI. Yeah, I'm very hard. I'm very, very interested in AI. My community, my trading community. We go over AI, we go over China, we go over crypto. I started a trading community with Pablo Heman. Pablo Heman, he was. He's Chinese. He's like a math genius. Got a full scholarship to an elite university, worked as a successful trader at a successful investment bank, a prestigious investment bank. And in 2021, we saw an opportunity. My background was private equity. It is. And we said, hey, you know what? On Discord is a bunch of tiktokers. It's literally like kids that graduated from TikTok University that are just doing these crypto communities. And why don't we bring some professionalism to it? So now, since 2021, we got over 40,000 members, and one thing we do, we go over AI and some of the trends and you know, one of the biggest. One of the biggest lies, man, is that China is behind on AI than the United States. And just recently, we got such validation, John, because the Nvidia CEO, Jensen, he right away went to China. He went. Right away. He went to the communist capital, Beijing, basically. He went there and he talked to the Chinese. And now that he's back, he says, no, China is not behind us on AI. That's wishful thinking. That's our American patriotism or narcissism that we think. And I'm not some liberal. Yeah, I supported Trump. I'm not a liberal at all. But so before someone, Someone could in the comment section say, oh, Nima's a liberal, he's attacking Trump. No, I'm not. You know, it's. It's. I'm a realist. I'm practical. And the fact is, is that China, what they're doing with AI, they're not just copying, pasting. They basically took what they did with Deep Seek. And, And I'm. I know you're. You're pretty familiar with this stuff with crypto. Yeah, no, they basically took deep seq with ChatGPT, did it with a fraction of the budget in a fraction of the time you could talk about. They copy and paste it all they want. Why didn't ChatGPT do that? They're clearly doing something. They're clearly, at the very least, you could say they're innovating, but to just say they're copy and paste. You're, you're, you're, you're. It's. It's American arrogance at its finest. And we're going to lose this century.
- [16:19]
Sean
That's why they're catching up. Some people would say they're ahead of us in certain sectors too.
- [16:23]
Nima
Definitely. Oh, definitely. I mean, you look at how many ships the China could make, at what speed, at what quality, they're. They have engineering marvels. Only thing we, you know, if we're in a war and they can build more ships than us, what's going to happen?
- [16:41]
Sean
And they got more people, and they.
- [16:43]
Nima
Got 1.3 billion people. These people are not soft, weak, and stupid either. These guys know how to fight. They're not scared of us either. That's. I think that's the. I think that's the. In the United States, I think there's. We're completely underestimating how important it is to have a good relationship with China. I, I believe we should have a great relationship with China. We should have China as our best friend.
- [17:10]
Sean
The whole world is safe with those two in power. Yeah. No one would want to challenge either one at that point.
- [17:16]
Nima
Yeah, like this idea of wanting to go to war with China or them wanting to go to war. We all lose if there's a nuclear war. Like what? Like, what was. What. What's my other. What's my other, you know, choice? I could just, you know, say curse the Chinese. Yeah, it sounds good. At a political rally or on X, you know, you could say America first and I say blah, blah. It sounds cute. Yeah, I get it. It sounds nice. But let's. Let's talk practicality. We gotta share a planet with 1.3 billion Chinese. We got to share a world with hundreds of millions of Arabs. 15 million. We gotta share a world with Africans. We gotta share a world with Europeans. We gotta learn to live together, bro, because we're getting to the point with AI and nukes and drones, all of this, the world's getting scary. Biological weapons.
- [18:05]
Sean
Yeah.
- [18:07]
Nima
Like Wuhan times, you know, 100x.
- [18:12]
Sean
Yeah. Energy weapons. Direct energy weapons.
- [18:14]
Nima
Yeah. People forget that the flu epidemic, you know, was like 100 years back. Like what, like 10 million people or something died, bro. 10 million? Like 30, 20 million. Something was out crazy how many people died from that? Way worse than Covid. So just imagine what's coming out.
- [18:31]
Sean
Yeah. We need the right allies. So, that being said, why do you think the United States should support Israel.
- [18:38]
Nima
So one of the biggest red pills that's never discussed on X is that Israel does not need the United States to win any wars. They did it in 1948, 1956, 1962, I think it was 1972, the Suez Canal, the Independence War, the Six Day and the Yom Kippur. Okay? Israel defeated all these enemies. They were attacked by several Arab countries. Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestinian militias. They were attacked by all of these tiny little. Israel, without the United States support, defeated all of them. That is a fact. That is a fact. And here's the thing, that if Israel needed the United States for survival, it would not have existed after 1948 on that war of independence. The reality is of why countries that hate the United States are pushing disinformation campaigns on X in particular, is because they want the United States out of the Middle East. It's not that Israel needs the United States to survive. It's that the United States has so much influence and power when it's in the Middle east with the help of Israel. And what does Israel gain? They get a trusted ally. I've been to Israel, several trips. My family is also from Jerusalem. Hmm. You go to Jerusalem, they love America. You go to Israel, they love America. I did a. I went there. I. I interviewed, put it on X. Anyone can go see it. On my X account, I interviewed about 10 people in Jerusalem, where my family is from. What do we do? We spit on Christian people when they visit Jerusalem. Not one person said he spit on a Christian. My wife is an evangelical Christian in Germany. I hope no one would spit on my daughter. My daughter's not a Jew. She has a father. You're a Jewish from your mother's side. I'm perfectly fine raising my daughter as a Christian. I'm perfectly fine putting my daughter in a Christian school. And I studied Torah, Talmud, I studied. You know, I'm a man. No, there's no doubt about it. But I don't. I don't feel I'm better than my wife. I don't feel. I hope my daughter gets just as much respect as anyone else. My daughter doesn't need to be for me to love her. I love her just as much as she's. Or not. You go to Israel, and I will. And I encourage you. I encourage anyone who's a Christian to go to the Holy Land, see Israel, see, see, go to Nazareth, go to Bethlehem, go see where Jesus and all these people you've read about, go see it. And even if you're not religious. Go see it. It's a beautiful Mediterranean country. And you can see for yourself when you come back. They say, oh, you spit on Christians. If that's true, how come there's so many busloads of American Christians coming there to visit? They get off buses, Sean. You got American Christians getting off buses. That's how many Christian tourists go to Israel.
- [22:11]
Sean
Wow, I didn't know that.
- [22:12]
Nima
Yeah, imagine, imagine if they were all like a group just sitting around, hey, we're going to spit on the Christians. This is, this, you know, like that's, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's disinformation. And Qatar, their mindset is this and which. And they're backed by other countries. Qatar's mindset is, okay, let's copy. Become successful in the United States and they buy out politicians. This is in their mind. They, they build apex so they control politically, domestically. What can we do to rival. Well, we can pour billions of dollars of cash into the United States. We can give their political leaders sweetheart deals in Qatar. We can buy their colleges and institutions. We can invest in American celebrities in Europe and the United States and their influencers. Now, it can be direct cash compensation, but that's not probably how it's going to happen. It's indirect compensation. Now, it could also be as small as an American influencer getting boosted, tweets, boosted followers. They incentivize them. It's like an economic, it's like an economics, you know, you're rewarding, you're giving someone an incentive for desired behavior. So Qatar is very, very, very advanced in that. You know, for example, Tucker Carlson did something recently where he smears Israel and it's not enough that Tucker Carlson goes to Russia. You can go on RT and see Tucker Carlson featured on Russia, Russian rt, Russian state media. Now, I hope the United States and Russia has a good relationship. I got Russian friends. I have nothing against the Russians. I would love to go there. I always thought when I work with fashion models in New York, I used to throw parties. The Russian women were beautiful. I have no, no doubt about that. You know, fashion models were beautiful. I have a lot of respect for Russian culture, the Russian culture. My wife's best friend is Russian. There's no hostility towards the Russians. My lawyer is a Russian American. So my main lawyer, the one I trust the most, my general counsel.
- [24:25]
Sean
Yeah.
- [24:26]
Nima
You know, so I'm just saying it, if we're not friends with Russia, can we expect them to act in good faith? Maybe not hopefully we. Hopefully we have new leadership in Russia. Hopefully we have new leadership in. In Iran. I hope, I hope. I. I want to have a friend. I want. I'm about peace, bro. I want to have a good relationship with. With the Palestinians. I want to have a good relationship with Russia, China and Iran because what's the other choice? We're going to kill each other like animals? Lately, people are acting like more animalistic than human. I'm about making money. I want to make money in these markets. I want to expand, I want to build. Let's take our. Let's take human civilization to Mars. Let's. Let's try to cure cancer. Let's try to cure heart disease, diabetes. Let's try to cure some of these illnesses that are hurting people. Let's work on lowering domestic abuse. Let's work on having men stop committing so much suicide. You know, it's. It's. There's a. There are a lot of. A lot of things we could work on as a. As a civilization and go kill each other, man.
- [25:31]
Sean
Yeah. Seems like wars are never ending. There's new ones popping up all the time now, too. Now there's talks of India getting into a war. Crazy, right?
- [25:44]
Nima
Yeah. You know, and it's sad, man. In Europe, we have a lot of the. You have a lot of issues with the migrants. A lot of them come from Afghanistan, Syria, North Africa. And they come in there and they're just stabbing. And it's sad because there are some that do not do this, but the few who do this just, you know, they. They make it a very hostile situation.
- [26:11]
Sean
I saw a video yesterday. Amsterdam, New York police officer or Amsterdam police officer. All the migrants were just stomping on the vehicle. It's crazy.
- [26:20]
Nima
Yeah. And they hate. They also hate Europeans, but I got a ton of Arab friends. I got more Arabs that work with me. I make more money with Arabs than, you know, I look like an Arab. I probably have some Arab in me. Yesterday I had some homemade Lebanese hummus, you know, with nice Lebanese lady from Argentina. So, you know, it's.
- [26:40]
Sean
You know, you're a businessman. You don't let that stuff get in the way.
- [26:42]
Nima
No. And at the very. At the very top, you'll see Larry Ellison. Larry Ellison, the, you know, co founder of, Of. Of Oracle, second largest database company in the world. One of richest men in the world. Elon Musk's best friend. One of his best friends, Elon Larry Ellison could give $16 million to the IDF. But then you'll see him hanging out with Prince Al Talwaid of Saudi. Think about it, bro. You'll see Jared Kushner over there with Qatar. I don't understand how this is going on. There's things I don't understand. It's way beyond my pay.
- [27:16]
Sean
There's levels to the game. Right.
- [27:17]
Nima
Right at the very, very top, you're seeing Arabs. And I've always, you know, in New York City, in the nightlife where I was seeing. I worked for 10 years, I was throwing parties in my 20s and 30s. I used to see so many Arabs, blacks, whites, at the top. Everyone truly is together. And maybe that's just a metropolitan New York City thing. Maybe that was just something in New York. But I saw that in Paris. I saw that in Paris Fashion Week. I go out and this is before it became so tranny and gay. Back in. When I was youngster, this stuff was actually pretty cool, you know. So you go to London, you would just see all these people together. Now it's. Now I feel like, man, it's like, it's a lot of polarization, bro. So, yeah, it was not like this.
- [27:59]
Sean
Nightlife'S changed a lot.
- [28:01]
Nima
Nightlife changed a lot. People aren't drinking as much either.
- [28:04]
Sean
Yeah.
- [28:04]
Nima
Which is great.
- [28:04]
Sean
Which is probably a good thing. Yeah. But my generation ain't drinking. I heard clubs are really hurting right now.
- [28:11]
Nima
My friend from New York, he just threw a party with 50 cent and at. At the Soho, at the Soho House last week, and he was telling me he was down here. He was telling me he was like, man, people don't drink as much anymore in the nightclubs. And also, you're going to appreciate this. One big reason the nightclubs aren't popular anymore is the crypto. The Moon Boys are gone. So much crypto money is gone. Those, those, those boys are going out making it rain, making a TikTok.
- [28:39]
Sean
Nerds, right? Yeah.
- [28:40]
Nima
You don't see it as much.
- [28:41]
Sean
Nah, crypto's down right now.
- [28:43]
Nima
I also predict that in the next five, ten years, austerity will. It's going to go more in vogue. The, you know, the, you know, the materialistic. When people are suffering economically, it's bad taste. I always think it's bad taste to show off how much money you got. That's. I'm 44, man. I'm, you know, I got a community of middle age, you know, guys in their 40s that are married with kids, you know, they're successful in their career. Maybe they're in their career. Like, I, I understand if you're marketing to the 20 year olds you want to show off, see cars and stuff like that, I get. Because that's your market and it makes sense. If that's your market, it makes sense. You're communicating with your market. That makes sense. So maybe I'm. I'm also, you know, exemplifying arrogance to say I'm better than I'm virtue signaling when it's just not my audience. Maybe I would do the same thing.
- [29:35]
Sean
Yeah, yeah. I think there's a market for it, but to me, it doesn't impress me.
- [29:42]
Nima
Yeah, bro. Cuz. Yo, bro, once you got a wife, after this is all done, I have fun here with you. I'm so fortunate I get to do a podcast with someone like you. I'm 44, bro. I go home, I play husband and dad. You know what I mean? Like. Like, there's not too many 44 year olds that get to do what I get to do, man. You know, with my friends, I'm pretty cool with my friends, you know, my age, you know, so it's like, what am I going to do? Show off a sports car? What, to put myself in a bad position to cheat on my wife? I'm not gonna do that. You know, I rarely go out to nightclubs now, man.
- [30:21]
Sean
It's not worth it these days.
- [30:23]
Nima
Rare.
- [30:24]
Sean
If you got a wife and kids, I don't see the point. Maybe for a business meeting once in a while, but, like, what else?
- [30:29]
Nima
I'll go to an art exhibit tomorrow, for example. My friend Gallo Seth, I collect his art. I have a collection of his art. You're welcome to come, obviously. It's in south beach at the Eden Gallery. He's the number one. Last Year is the number one bestseller.
- [30:42]
Sean
Damn.
- [30:43]
Nima
@ Eden, that's more than Alec Monopoly.
- [30:45]
Sean
Really?
- [30:45]
Nima
And Alec's a nice kid. His brother Avery's amazing. There's no disrespect. I'm just saying. And I love Alex work, too, just for the record. And Avery's a great guy, so. Yeah. So I would just say, you know, like, I'll go to an exhibit, but I'm done at like 8. I go home. It's like, social, you know?
- [31:07]
Sean
Yeah, no, I feel you on that. These days, I get home earlier and earlier, man. I'm in bed by 10.
- [31:14]
Nima
Yeah.
- [31:15]
Sean
You know?
- [31:15]
Nima
Yeah. Like, bro, I got a good wife. Like, I. I'm not, you know, my wife respects me. She doesn't. She. My wife. I don't have those problems, man. You know, like, my wife respects me when I come home. She respects me as the husband the leader of the family and I respect her. I don't, I don't tell her to go in the kitchen and cook and shut the up. I treat her with respect. The same way I want someone to treat my daughter when she gets married.
- [31:36]
Sean
Yeah, she's from Europe.
- [31:38]
Nima
Yeah. Because you know, my daughter is going to be someone's wife, too. So the best thing I can do, I think, is to treat another man's daughter the way I want my daughter to get treated. And that's by showing my daughter how I treat another man's daughter, which is her mom.
- [31:53]
Sean
Lead by example.
- [31:54]
Nima
Yeah.
- [31:54]
Sean
It's interesting.
- [31:55]
Sponsor
You see a lot of the red.
- [31:56]
Sean
Pill complaint about American women. I'm sure you've seen this and how they're spoiled and everything.
- [32:01]
Nima
Yeah, man, it's, it's. Look, bro, there's something to be said about. A lot of men are going through depression. A lot of men are, are scared and they're considering suicide. There's something to be said about that. However, if a guy was considering suicide, I would say, number one, don't feel shame to go to therapy. I think that is one of the most nastiest things is to say therapy is for pussies. Because you could go to the gym, you could work hard, make a ton of money, read books, and you're still depressed and suicidal. That can come. And to tell that person, hey, or to tell a Marine who comes back from war who's having ptsd, don't go to therapy or you're a pussy. This Guy just spent seven years overseas defending our country on special operations, doing 10 tours. Yeah, he came back seeing his friend get fucking his face blown off. Yeah, he has ptsd. Yeah, he definitely. And his wife cheated on him when he was gone. Yeah, he's fucked up. He should go to pt. He should go to therapy. Let's, let's, let's, let's make some excuses here, you know?
- [33:11]
Sean
Yeah.
- [33:11]
Nima
Because the fact of the matter is, is that if a guy were to commit suicide and he's a physically capable man, it's selfish because you're not going to be there for your mother and father. Because one day, Sean, your mom and dad will not be able to clean themselves after they go to the bathroom when they defecate, they can't wipe themselves, can't water themselves, they can't clean themselves. At one point, your mom and dad will not be able to feed themselves. You have to physically feed them or a nurse has to. And the same is going to happen to you and me.
- [33:48]
Sean
Yeah.
- [33:50]
Nima
Imagine if they also had to go through that winter of their life knowing that their son committed suicide. How selfish that is. How selfish that is. And then imagine the financial problem they may have because they don't have a financially capable son to help make it easier for them in the winter of their life. So not just physically easier, financially easier. And we're not even talking about if you're married and you got kids and they got grandkids. Winter is winter. At least make it a nicer winter.
- [34:21]
Sean
Yeah.
- [34:21]
Nima
When my grandma passed away at 91, I love her. It was about three years back, the last day before she passed away, in her sleep, there was a beautiful sunset and my mom was there. And a few weeks before that, she touched my grandma, she touched my wife's stomach. And my wife was pregnant. She was a few months away from seeing her first great grandchild. That was the last point I ever saw my grandma smile. Damn few weeks before she died, she was already in the bed that she. She would basically die. But imagine if she was alone because I committed suicide. Imagine if she was alone because her daughter committed suicide. She had to go through all that alone. Just paint and die. And imagine she didn't have the financial support of her children.
- [35:08]
Sean
Would have been way tougher.
- [35:09]
Nima
Way tougher. Right. So when you think about it and then imagine if you have kids and you commit suicide now, your child at the age of two does not have a father.
- [35:18]
Sean
And some of them will also think it's their fault.
- [35:21]
Nima
I mean, bro, it's like, you know, it's. Yeah, bro, like I'll tell you something, man. I'm willing to go through. I've thought about the price I'm willing to pay. I'm willing to go through 50 years of severe agony, torture, pain. I'm talking about pain like you go in a cold plunge that's beyond freezing and you sit there till you pass out or die. I'm willing to go through that sort of emotional pain, agony, stress, torture for 50 years. So my. I'm there for my daughter.
- [35:51]
Sean
Wow.
- [35:52]
Nima
Because I don't want her to say something happened to me and I gave up. I've had a great life, man. I've had a great life. Every day for me at this point is truly a gift. It's always been a gift. I've already lived a complete life. I have a mission at this point at the age of 44, which is to try to do my best for my parents, my parents in law, my wife, and definitely my daughter, and also try to lead my team in business and try to create more jobs and help them achieve their goals. But when you start thinking like that, man, it's like when I'm in a cold plunge. I think I told my. So one of my best friends, this. I think he was a D1 college football player. I told him he's much bigger and tougher than he's big Nigerian. I told him, I said, listen, man, that last 10 seconds in the cold punch, I visualize my little daughter walking around, and it gives me the power to push through. Earlier this morning, I was doing sprints. And when I'm doing sprints, when I. When the wind is hitting me on the track, I'm trying to hit, like, you know, I'm trying. My goal is 120 for quarter mile, 400. I can. I'm in pain. I can think of my daughter to try to hit that goal. I said, I hit 124. I wasn't feeling my best, you know, go easy on me. I'm 44, you know, but, you know, thank God I'm alive and I think of my daughter and. And because I asked a cancer doctor. He graduated from Columbia University. His name's Eugene. He looks like a. Like a bodybuilder, bro. He looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger almost, but a younger version. And he's a sprinter, heavy lifter, but also a sprinter, cancer doctor, oncologist. I asked him, I said, what's the number one exercise to fight cancer? Said, sprints. So I try to get in at least one or two days of sprints, bro.
- [37:52]
Sean
Sprinting's good for you, man. Gary Brecker came on the pod, and he said 95 of people over the age of, I think, 30 don't sprint or sprint the rest of their life or something like that.
- [38:03]
Nima
Wow.
- [38:03]
Sean
Isn't that crazy?
- [38:04]
Nima
Yeah.
- [38:05]
Sean
Because once you're past 30, you're not playing in sports or whatever, and you just stop sprinting, I guess.
- [38:12]
Nima
Yeah. My mom's a huge fan of Gary, man.
- [38:14]
Sean
He's a beast.
- [38:15]
Nima
Yeah.
- [38:15]
Sean
He put me onto the. The biohacking space.
- [38:18]
Nima
Oh, nice, man.
- [38:18]
Sean
Yeah. It's changed my life.
- [38:20]
Nima
Yeah.
- [38:21]
Sean
Because when your health is right, you're just a way better entrepreneur.
- [38:24]
Nima
Yeah. You know, sometimes things happen in your life, bro, where it's like, it looks very dark in the beginning, but it's like the biggest blessing. So my mom, about six years back, had cancer in her breast. And before that, she was not taking care of herself. She gained a little weight. She was antisocial, but that was a big turnaround for her, because now she's 71. She's like a longevity grandma. Lean, athletic, eats clean, like low carb. I mean, she's like, she's is a. Is truly amazing when you look at her, you know, she does not look 71 at all.
- [39:01]
Sean
Love that.
- [39:02]
Nima
You know, she survived that cancer stuff, man, like six years now, you know, and. And it's amazing. Hey, look at Biggie Smalls mom. He talked about his mom having cancer in his breasts. She lived another 30 years.
- [39:14]
Sean
Damn.
- [39:14]
Nima
Now imagine with all the advancements in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, machine learning, how much faster we're going to get to clinical trials. Which clinical trials we take? What are the results from the clinical trials? How much faster? Look at what Alibaba did. Alibaba has an AI. This is mind blowing, bro. Where they took 40000 patients, bro. 40, 000 patients. And they screened them against doctors with the AI for pancreatic cancer. And you like, bro, that's a. That's a scary cancer. That's not like catching a colon cancer early. Pile up, you're done. That's a scary cancer. You got colon cancer, you catch it early. Got, let's say 99 survival rate, 5 year, you know. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer, you got a lower odd even if you get it early. So Chinese. This is how smart the Chinese people are, man. Alibaba AI did a test, 40,000 patients, and you got human doctors. And it was like 34% or something like that. Anyone could Google and fact check me out. It was about 34% better at catching pancreatic cancer, basically, than the human doctors.
- [40:25]
Sean
Holy crap.
- [40:26]
Nima
This just happened.
- [40:27]
Sean
It's nuts.
- [40:28]
Nima
We're in April 2025.
- [40:30]
Sean
For anyone who hears, I don't doubt it, man. I just took a health test. I imported the results into ChatGPT and asked for some recommendations. And it helped me tremendously. And it read my tests and in two seconds gave me stuff to do for my health.
- [40:42]
Nima
Beautiful, man.
- [40:43]
Sean
Nuts, right?
- [40:44]
Nima
Yeah, it's crazy, bro, because imagine in.
- [40:46]
Sean
Five years where we're at, I'll be doing it for you probably, you know. You know, there's a.
- [40:51]
Nima
There's a company called Pre Nouveau.
- [40:53]
Sean
Yeah, I got that scan too.
- [40:54]
Nima
You did?
- [40:54]
Sean
Yeah. Full body mri.
- [40:56]
Nima
Take your mom and take your wife.
- [40:57]
Sean
I told my mom about it and my wife.
- [40:59]
Nima
Yeah, it's not enough that you go, brother, you're wealthy, you're successful. I mean, you got the money, man.
- [41:04]
Sean
Even for me, so much about my body, I was like, that was one of the best things I've ever done.
- [41:09]
Nima
Yeah.
- [41:09]
Sean
You know?
- [41:10]
Nima
Yeah, man. Because I'm telling you, I took my. I took my wife and my mom in 2023. I want to go again this year, you know, in the two year.
- [41:18]
Sean
Yeah.
- [41:18]
Nima
Um, but it's amazing, man, because then you have it on your. I got it on my app. I can see. Also, I use a company called My Life Force.
- [41:26]
Sean
That's Tony Robbins.
- [41:27]
Nima
Tony Robbins and Dr. Peter Diameters.
- [41:29]
Sean
Yeah.
- [41:29]
Nima
And my health coach, Serena, is amazing. I have a functional doctor, Dr. Thomas. She's amazing. They have helped me so much. I had low vitamin D. My vitamin D is not much better. I work on. I'm working on my glucose, but I just get to lock in on. Exactly. They do like, 50 biomarkers, basically quarterly, and they help you. And then now that you can also get whoop. Add the whoop biometric, the wedding scale, you can add that. So you're looking at it. You're getting your weight. You're. You're. You're. You're getting your weight, you're getting your sleep. You're getting like, 50 biomarkers quarterly tested and getting a supplement stack that's precise to what you're doing. And then also even, like, I'll go get, like, a stool test just to see how my gut microbiome is doing. I can tell that to them and then put it with ChatGPT. Now all of a sudden, you got all of this to complement. Just doing a physical that I'll do in Germany with my physician.
- [42:19]
Sean
Yeah.
- [42:19]
Nima
You know, it's like, because. Because if you catch these things early, you're so much better off.
- [42:22]
Sean
Way better.
- [42:23]
Nima
If we just make it to 2030, bro, if we're having this conversation in 2030, I think a lot of these, you're going to see a lot better. Cancer survival rates, man. Heart disease, cancer, heart. Heart disease rates, diabetes rates, all this. I'm not a longevity freak, man. I'm just. I got a daughter.
- [42:38]
Sean
Yeah.
- [42:39]
Nima
It's reckless for me to not go or get a colonoscopy. I got colonoscopy. I was. It's not like, oh, I'm not scared to go get a colonoscopy. No, I'm. I'm. I'm sort of scared to go get a colonoscopy. I'll go do it. Why not? What's the other choice? Not know if I got colon cancer.
- [42:52]
Sean
Right.
- [42:52]
Nima
Yeah. I'd rather go get a colonoscopy, find out, you know?
- [42:56]
Sean
Yeah. You want to walk her down the wedding aisle one day?
- [42:58]
Nima
You know, exactly and another thing is get the psa. It's so easy. You just get your blood tested. So prostate cancer and colon cancer, bro, like if everyone just got, if every man just goes and gets tested for these things and it's not hard, you know, it's like, bro, no one really should. Not many people should die of prostate and colon cancer. If you're getting it tested.
- [43:16]
Sean
Yeah.
- [43:17]
Nima
Because your survival rate is like 98, 99% in the first five years. People think of cancer, they're thinking, okay, you've got cancer, you're dying. It's not the 70s and 80s anymore, bro. We're in the 2000s now. You legit could get cancer and still go 40, 50 years.
- [43:30]
Sean
I know people that have gotten stage four and have beaten it, you know, man. Yeah, stage three, stage four. So health is advancing.
- [43:40]
Nima
My mom's best friend, she told, she was told she had two, three years to live. This is 11 years back. Now she's in her 70s. She also looks like a longevity freak, bro.
- [43:50]
Sean
It's dangerous when these doctors give timetables like that, I think because your mind is very powerful.
- [43:56]
Nima
Yeah.
- [43:56]
Sean
You know, I'm not a fan of that. Whether it's two months or five years, it's like you're going to start manifesting it yourself.
- [44:03]
Nima
Yeah, I mean, they're getting a doctorate degree, they're getting a medical degree in medicine. In medicine. So they're learning how to prescribe medicine, prescription pills rather than, I think that, I think like health than, you know, like actual doing health care. Like, hey, man, dial in, you know, lock in nutrition, exercise, sleep, fasting. I mean, fasting for me, I don't recommend fasting everybody. Fasting works for me.
- [44:26]
Sean
I love it. Yeah, I intermittent fast every day.
- [44:29]
Nima
Beautiful, man.
- [44:30]
Sean
And then I do a three day fast once a year.
- [44:32]
Nima
Nice, man.
- [44:33]
Sean
Yeah, that's a good mental challenge too.
- [44:36]
Nima
Yeah, I, I like doing, I like doing a little bit more, but I'm, I'm starting later than you. Yeah, I'm, I started in my 40. You're starting your 20s, which is phenomenal. Way better than I, I wish I would have started in my 20s.
- [44:47]
Sean
You're at the nightclub in your 20s?
- [44:49]
Nima
Yeah, I was torturing myself. Yeah, man. You know, now I try to do it once every month or two, three day water fast.
- [44:56]
Sean
Nice.
- [44:56]
Nima
But bro, I feel amazing. I'm going to tech conference in San Francisco next week and I'm gonna. And I know it's stuff that I don't necessarily like to do. I'm going out there, meet some People. Anyway, long story short, there's some classes I'm gonna take. I don't feel like a kid again. Try to, try to work my brain against dementia and just learn.
- [45:16]
Sean
Always be learning.
- [45:18]
Nima
Always learn, man. I like it. You know, and, and, and I, I didn't like college, but I, but I do like this subject in particular of what I'm learning. And anyway, long story short, I want to go in there fasted. Because when I go in there fasted, I'm sharp.
- [45:31]
Sean
Yeah.
- [45:32]
Nima
If I go. If I have to do something after 24:48, if I, if I have to do something I hate and I go in there 24, 48 hour fasted, I'm much better easily.
- [45:41]
Sean
Night and day.
- [45:42]
Nima
Much better, man.
- [45:43]
Sean
We'll end off with some politics. You said you voted for Trump earlier. How do you think he's done in his first hundred days so far?
- [45:49]
Nima
I think Trump. That's a good question, man. I think I like Trump, man. I just hope that we get a better relationship with China. And I think that a lot of American investors and traders right now are missing a massive opportunity not trading in China. You know, one reason I'd say is you have bigger price swings because you have less institutions, you have much more volatility, you have faster movement. Another reason why the Chinese stock market is amazing is because you have undervalued companies. You could take one tech company in China, one tech company in the United States, the one in the United States on the same earnings will trade at a 10x multiple of their valuation of the Chinese company. And the reason why is political fear, Western media bias, and also limited U.S. investor access. And another, and another benefit of it is of trading in China. My community, we trade China heavy hanging index. My partner, a former investment banker, he's in Hong Kong. So we. You also have less. Less competition, bro. You have less competition. You have less spots in China in their market.
- [47:16]
Sean
Yeah.
- [47:17]
Nima
And more room to get a big W, man.
- [47:21]
Sean
That's good to know. I never knew that.
- [47:23]
Nima
Yeah, we've been, We've been covering China for years, man. I've been. No, no, I've been, I've been like, begging my partner, man, because he's a. He's bigger, you know, in crypto, too. But I'm like, begging my partner, I'm like, bro, like, let's get on China. Let's get on China. Now, finally, he's excited about China now with this China tariff war. I'm like, fantastic. Because we've been working on China. We've been discussing China since 2021.
- [47:46]
Sean
Yeah.
- [47:46]
Nima
When we started our community, China and crypto. Because I, I believe that diversification into physical gold, bitcoin, Chinese equities and all, and then also not debt, because with debt you're, you're relying on these central banks, but equity is something else. So Chinese equities, bitcoin, and physical gold.
- [48:08]
Sean
Like actual physical gold, can't go wrong with that.
- [48:11]
Nima
Yeah, bro. Because if you're not doing any diversification at this point, you're, you're, you're taking a massive, massive, massive risk.
- [48:21]
Sean
Too risky to go all in on one thing right now.
- [48:23]
Nima
I say especially with, I'd say especially with the, with the economy the way it is.
- [48:27]
Sean
Yeah. Stocks got, I mean, stocks and crypto got wrecked the past month.
- [48:31]
Nima
Yeah. I mean, some people will say China is too risky, but what's riskier? Diversification or putting all of your savings and investments in one country like the United states, with about $38 trillion in debt.
- [48:47]
Sean
Yeah. And a lot of stocks are overvalued here, in my opinion. You saw that. That was a big reason why they dipped past few months.
- [48:54]
Nima
I mean, I mean, bro, we're talking about Nvidia. That's what Wall Street. That's what day. And these people are, bro. It's, it's what they're doing to Americans is, is like criminal. You know, they have. You focus on the S and P, which is basically just a few stocks at this point, like seven stocks. They, they, they talk about Nvidia all day. But you know how many Chinese companies like 10cent, Badu. I mean, I could just go on and on. Byd. You could. I could just go. I could, I could. We could spend 10 minutes going over to Chinese companies, but they're not talking about these companies. But I'll have you focus on Nvidia. Meanwhile, what do you think Wall Street's doing? They're going ahead. These top private equity funds, these hedge funds. I respect Ray Dalio. He's open about it. I respect David Tipper. He's open about how they like investing in China. Imagine how many hedge funds and private equity firms are investing in China. And you just don't know. They scare you. They scare all these Americans into not trading with the, with the Chinese, even if they are commie. Who gives a shit? It's. There's business opportunities there. There's business opportunities there. And, and, and for Americans to not do it based on this idea of patriotism. Patriotism for what? To see congresspeople in Washington get millions of dollars, insider trading as they're passing laws that you and I, we can't do any. We can't do a fucking Venmo, bro, without, without getting an audit. And you're talking about she, Nancy Pelosi or whatever. They can make $20 million, bro, on a $250,000 a year salary.

Sean
And that's just what they're recording. That's not including family members, friends and stuff.
- [50:26]
Nima
What's the possibility these same politicians aren't also putting money in China? Slim imagine, bro, you're scaring Americans. They scare Americans to not trust these comments.
- [50:38]
Sean
They're just reporting on their American stock income.
- [50:41]
Nima
Right?
- [50:42]
Sean
Yeah.
- [50:42]
Nima
And. And another thing is, I would definitely recommend everyone do not just buy stocks on U.S. stock Exchange. U.S. brokerages like Interactive Broker and Schwab, which are great, you can get access to, to, you know, Chinese equities. But also, what would you do in the event of delisting? You know, you could also, you know, Ray Dalio, I think he, I think he's one person. Anyone that's interested in learning in China. I mean, I'm not. I'm obviously going to plug. You can come into my trading community, but Ray doio is a goat. Like, I. I admire him so much. And David Tipper, what they talk about. These are billionaire hedge fund managers. It's not just me. You know, Ray Dalio said something of. It's not a. Ray Dalio said this, not me. He said, uh, it's not a matter of if I should invest in China, it's how much.
- [51:29]
Sean
That dude's a billionaire. So I would listen.
- [51:32]
Nima
You know, he talks about it like it's the century of China. And I think it is, man. I don't. I do not see. I do not see. Unfortunately, if I had to make a bet, and I love America, my family fled Iran to come to the United States. You know, I love the United States. I wish we will always stay number one. But I'm also practical. I think there's a 60, 70% chance that China has the number one superpower, number one economy within the next 10 years.
- [52:00]
Sean
Wow.
- [52:01]
Nima
And this lie that they just have all these property and all these buildings that are empty and that they're stupid and all they do is they copy and cheat and lie and everyone hates their government. This is classic indoctrination from the West.
- [52:15]
Sean
Propaganda.
- [52:16]
Nima
It is. We are the masters of propaganda, bro. Like, we're. We are. We have our own variation of Al Jazeera. Economically. Economically. We're economically indoctrinating and pushing propaganda on our Middle class. We've destroyed our middle class, Sean. We've destroyed our middle class. And even to give them an opportunity to go vest in China. Trade in China. No, because that's scary. Those are commies. Don't go do that. Invest only in the United States. Well, then the politician you find out is doing insider trading. They're making millions. They're investing in China, but they tell you, don't do it. I don't think it's patriotism to. I think the idea of diversification, financial diversification does not question one's patriotism, bro. You can be a patriot and have financial diversification. We have a president right now, President Trump, he's about to open up in the uae. He's about to open up in Qatar. He has a hotel in Azerbaijan. It's okay to invest in other countries. The super rich do that. Right now in Switzerland, not far from my home in Germany, you have more and more Americans taking, opening up, opening up bank accounts in Switzerland. Why? Because people want to take their cash out of here. There's so much political chaos, there's so much instability, and that's going to get much worse. So you have already have rich Americans taking their money and putting it in Switzerland, opening up Swiss bank accounts. And even with Obama, someone might look at this and say, oh, yeah, Obama made it a lot harder. Obama made it harder. But you can still do it clean. You just have more regulation. You need specialists to help you. It's confusing by design. It's intentionally confusing by design. It's intentionally ambiguous by design. There's intentionally complexity by design. They're trapping the middle class in the United States. The middle class says, oh, it's too foreign to go to China and invest in their stock market. It's too foreign. That's exactly why they're undervalued. That's exactly why. If it feels too foreign, well, that's the opportunity. If it wasn't familiar, then, because it's not familiar, you have these massive opportunities for big gains. Unfamiliar. Unfamiliarity equals undervalued.
- [54:38]
Sean
Yep. You're spot on, man.
- [54:40]
Nima
When it, when it comes to. When it comes to China.
- [54:42]
Sean
Yeah, no, you're right. I'm going to look into it more myself.
- [54:45]
Nima
And one more thing I'd like to just say, if I could say one last point. Look, I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm American as apple pie. America saved my grandfather's life. I'll always be loyal to this country. It's deep for me, man. My family, my father, grandfather fled Iran. I am like it's hard to have my sort of patriotism for the United States. Any immigrant. I was born in Atlanta, but my, my parents were immigrants so I had my, my foot in both worlds overseas, Iran and Israel and here in the United States. And someone could say, I don't trust China, I don't trust those commies either. But you're not going to marry them, bro. You're just trading it. And the big banks are already there. You got all these middle class Americans just sitting there like little ducks asking for permission far too late. And, and, and it bothers me that we have the elite in this country that are ignoring the middle class. They're ignoring the working class. And if we them so hard, they're going to revolt, bro. We're not going to have a country again. I'm not a liberal, but I have a very, I've been very fortunate financially and I do think if we don't take care of the middle class, if we don't help the middle class, at the very least say, hey bro, take 10, 20% of your money, take 30% of your money, you got a hundred thousand, take 10, 20, $30,000. Go buy some physical gold, go buy some bitcoin, go buy some Chinese stock, Go buy something other than in the United States having your money in the stock market and USD. Because if this fucking thing sinks, you're left with nothing, bro. You're left with nothing. Don't do that to yourself, man.
- [56:33]
Sean
I look at it like risk, reward. It's like, why, why would you want 7% a year? But the chance of it crashing is really high, bro.
- [56:41]
Nima
Diversification is like the greatest. Like, like. And it doesn't have to be my community. It could be, it could be, it could like, like learn about, learn about, you know, another country that you have an interest in. You know, it's like just see, see what's going, you know, just learn about other things, learn about other instruments. Diversification, bro. It's not just about asset class, it's also about geography.
- [57:02]
Sean
Absolutely. Nima, it's been fun. Thanks for coming on, man. We'll link your stuff below.
