Listen "Are Billionaires Really That Bad?"
Episode Synopsis
Are Billionaires Really That Bad? — I riff on incentives, taxes, and why most people don’t spend a decade becoming a doctor “just for fun.” From managers losing motivation under higher tax brackets to how founders reinvest (and risk) their way to huge outcomes, I make the case that success and wealth aren’t automatically evil—and that policy has trade-offs. We hit doctors vs. McDonald’s wages, why companies pass costs along, Elon-level reinvestment, and the role of risk, bankruptcy, and reward. Agree or not, it’s a spicy, no-notes dive into ambition, incentives, and what “fair” really means.
