Having created six different social clubs across spectrum—from "talented young people" to LA influencers—I've witnessed something terrifying: our society's most successful members exist in completely different realities from everyone else.

This profound disconnect mirrors pre-revolutionary France's elite blindness—a giant societal vacuum no one wants to acknowledge.
