My First Million

[00:05:19] S1: one? Yeah, no, I think it's awesome. We're seeing it firsthand, our good buddy, Ben, old producer Ben, had the most dire outlook, and he still is not out of the weeds, or out of the woods or whatever the phrase is, but he posted an update that he's doing way better. And when he tweeted out about this, because he has a big following, he had all the nerds, all the AI nerds, like reach out to him and he like got hooked up with all the right people. And he is a recipient of some of this stuff. So we're seeing like our buddies, like actually survive or or or prolong their lives because of this is awesome. [00:05:50] S0: I mean, if you haven't seen it, go watch Ben's tweet update. I... It was like, I I opened up my phone on Saturday morning, watched that thing, and basically crying. I was just so happy. [00:05:59] S1: He looked so much better. [00:06:01] S0: Yeah. He looks better. He sounds better. I mean, he's doing better. Right? He's like, it's... You know, he's like, still got cancer, but it's, I mean, a dramatic improvement from this drug. And the way he tells the story is amazing. Everybody go watch that. It'll it'll it'll make your day. So... Okay. So I think this is, like, a super exciting space. If you're a smart person, join one of these companies. Go build one of these companies. Like, there's never been a better time to go do something that has high impact, and the technology window has opened or new things are gonna happen, there's new results possible that really, that technology window was not anywhere near as attractive in the past.

Ad[00:06:36] S1: Oh, do you see that? I just stepped over a million dollar problem, a million dollar business idea.

[00:07:08] S0: Okay, the next is food is technology. So I don't know if you saw this. There's a a YC company called... I wanna call... This is called NitroDuck that just came out of duck. And, basically, they're doing, like, genetically modified food, you know, using CRISPR to change fruit so that it, like, grows better, higher yield, tastes better, is better for you. Like, all the good things that somebody would want out of growing food. [00:07:33] S1: Like how somebody invented the Honeycrisp apple. It took twenty years to do it, and and we get it twenty four or three hundred sixty five days a year. It's incredible.
00:07:41 · Shaan Puri, Sam Parr
[00:07:41] S0: It's incredible. Where does the food come from, dude? Where does the food come from? Right? It's like, know, I just walk in the grocery store. It's just there. It's not just there. It comes from somewhere. And like like you said, like, that variant of that fruit that came from somewhere. Right? Like, you know, like, each one of these things is a genetic being, a genetic, like, organism. And those organisms, just like we're gonna be applying, you know, biotech and AI to our bodies, we're gonna be applying it to plant bodies. And so super exciting. You know, I think David Friedberg is probably the most well known entrepreneur that's doing something here. He's trying to make, like, you know, potatoes and corn, like new new versions of of these foods that are better seeds, better crops, that farmers can then use to get better yields, to have better... Whether it's better flavor, better for you, or better production. And so just the idea of that food is a technology, and that, again, the technology window is open. To me, there's so much exciting stuff that could be done there ranging from technology that works the fields, you know, some new kinds of tractors and, you know, using cam... Computer vision and whatnot to actually, like, help grow the crops to actual seeds of the food. New food. Now, you know, new types of food. I think this is, like, super, super exciting, and, you know, so much work can be done there. [00:08:55] S1: Alright. What's the next one? Well... War of...
00:08:55 · Sam Parr, Shaan Puri
[00:08:55] S1: Alright. What's the next one? Well... War of... [00:08:57] S0: Yeah. Next one. Warfare. So, you know, there's the idea... Like, if I picture in my mind, like, the military machine of America. You know, I think about tanks and soldiers and boats and maybe some, like, fighter jets. And I think... You know, okay. I'm speaking a little out of turn here. I don't know actually what's going on with the war fronts here, but I suspect that that is a bit of a fantasy. It's like, you know, my wife growing up dreaming about her wedding. She just, like, had this vision in her mind that didn't meet reality for a very long time. You know, the little girl when she was, you know, eight versus, like, when she was 30, getting married, like, a lot had changed. And I think what's the same thing is is similar with what war probably will look like at this point, which is drones fighting drones. It's, you know, unmanned tiny aircrafts that are super cheap to build. I think this is what's going on in Ukraine and other places where you can spend you can send really expensive equipment out there, but they can just send, like, you know, a little piece a little, you know, a piece of junk metal autonomously flying. It's super cheap to make. You can make in high volume, and it could do a lot of damage. And so I think warfare is probably... You know, Anduril obviously is doing really interesting things there. There's other companies. You know, Joe Lonsdale has a company that's, you know, kind of underwater, you know, sort of navy... The navy version of Anduril.

You know how we took the the leader of Venezuela?
