4.8 out of 5 stars from 4.8k ratings
  • I initially invested a total of $105,000 over a period of 5 weeks with my broker. My bonus/profit was $830,000, every attempt to make withdrawal failed and I was instructed to make another deposit of $25,000 before I can make withdrawals which I did. Up till now, I’m still unable to make withdrawals and all attempt to contact broker has failed. This is very pathetic and I felt so bad losing my investment. I did a due diligence test before investing with them but guess what I ended up getting bur... more

  • Josh Kushner episode not for me

    People have overhyped this guy so much, I was looking forward to learning something from ‘Josh at Thrive Capital’. Stopped the podcast episode on at least three occasions. My god, if I knew nothing about investing, I would say this episode sounds like two corporate robots parroting to each other isms about jack squat. Still don’t know what Josh has done to achieve whatever has brought this level of hype.

  • So disappointed

    I’ve been a long time fan & listener of the pod for years and years. Was really the only podcast that I made time for, even tried to listen to some of the other offerings through Colossus, although they are all significantly less interesting than ILTB, but I have stopped listening all together after the Kushner interview. That was straight propaganda meant to smooth over the transition back into Trump’s presidency. Every question was a total softball & I cannot believe that Patrick took the mone... more

  • What Guides the Work We Do

    This episode felt like a gift because it reminded me that work becomes meaningfully impactful when it’s rooted in a guiding principle rather than just metrics or milestones. Hearing Patrick reflect on how he leaned into curiosity, championed overlooked talent, and let an instinct for discovery shape his path invites listeners to take stock of their own compass. Not for external applause, but for enduring satisfaction. You helped frame a journey where purpose leads before profit, and that perspec... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mitchell Green - Lessons from Cold Calling 10,000 Companies - [Invest Like the Best, EP.464]
Q: Talk to me about the 10,000 calls. What did you learn calling that many companies?
Discipline stands out; most things are noise, focus on identifying the truly investable Lead Edge signals, and you learn responsiveness and follow‑through from entrepreneurs who actually do what they say.
Shyam Sankar - Celebrating Heretics - [Invest Like the Best, EP.462]
Q: How does AI fit into Palantir's architecture and value delivery?
AI will create value at the chips and ontology layers, with applications built on top; the platform enables rapid, enterprise-wide decision-making and programmable business processes.
Shyam Sankar - Celebrating Heretics - [Invest Like the Best, EP.462]
Q: What is forward deployed engineering, and why is it powerful for Palantir's model?
It's the interface that brings product and field operations together, ensuring the software actually delivers outcomes on the ground through constant iteration and close customer collaboration.
Shyam Sankar - Celebrating Heretics - [Invest Like the Best, EP.462]
Q: How do you think about unlocking talent within Palantir and cultivating a productive environment?
Identify superpowers and kryptonite, give people the right kind of high-stakes opportunities, and create a culture that supports risk-taking and honest feedback while avoiding over-structuring.
Shyam Sankar - Celebrating Heretics - [Invest Like the Best, EP.462]
Q: What traits define a 'heretic' in your use of the term and why are they interesting to you?
Heretics are founders who obsessively pursue something that seems to defy the established order; their persistence, willingness to challenge authority, and commitment to meaningful outcomes make them the engine of major breakthroughs.
