I sat down with Nick Huber and we talked about what it actually takes to build wealth through service businesses. We started with Nick’s framework for opportunity, how being an opportunist isn’t a bad thing if you use it to build momentum, not chase distractions. He walked me through his current companies, explaining how each one fits into a power-law strategy. We also got into his view on AI. Nick shared how he's approaching parenting with wealth, and how to raise humble kids in a privileged environment. Toward the end, we talked about his new book The Sweaty Startup, the brutally hard process of writing it, and why he ultimately partnered with HarperCollins.
