Corporate Gossip

Now with enhanced audio!!! 
Meet Steve Witkoff, a real estate investor and supreme Trump suck-up turned "peace guy" and his two failsons, Alex and Zach. They're in charge of World Liberty Financial, the "world's fastest growing crypto company" along with the Trump family and crypto hucksters Zak Folkman and Chase Hero. The WLF team might feel invincible, but this week one disgruntled investor filed a lawsuit that might take down the entire operation... 
This episode has it ALL... a resurfaced body cam video of a Witkoff son being arrested for assaulting a bouncer and cocaine possession, a colon cleanse subscription business, a website called datehottergirls.com, and the 1954 Guatemalan coup!!!

So you want live forever and make a TON of money doing it???? May we suggest starting a longevity company to charge rich people having a midlife crisis $50,000 to make themselves medical guinea pigs?? After all, if billionaires have optimized their own bodies than certainly that perfect health will dribble down onto the rest of us!!
TW: we talk about Epstein stuff starting around 52:00 (but right before that we genuinely find ourselves in a fit of hysterics the likes of which have never been seen on this podcast!!)

I love to psychoanalyze billionaires AS A HOBBY! But when I saw that viral video of Marc Andreessen explaining how he practices "zero" introspection it was like the spirit of Jack Welch's ex-wives took over my body and wrote an email to today's guest. I asked Therapy Jeff talk with me about what the actual HELL is going on inside the busted brains of billionaires.
