CEO VLAD TENEV EXPLAINS WHY ROBINHOOD'S STOCK IS UP 100% OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS

In this insightful clip of EYL, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal sit down with successful entrepreneur and mentor Ryan Breslow to discuss the intricacies of fundraising for startups. Ryan shares invaluable lessons and strategies that have helped him navigate the challenging world of venture capital and investment without falling into common pitfalls.  
 Ryan dives deep into his personal journey, recounting initially unsuccessful attempts at raising capital and the crucial advice he received from mentors like Michael Carter of Playco. One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the importance of building relationships rather than simply requesting funds outright. Ryan explains why stating you're fundraising can put unnecessary pressure on both the entrepreneur and potential investors. Instead, creating a network of advocates who are genuinely excited about you and your project is more beneficial in the long run.  
 Ryan also elaborates on the famed Silicon Valley adage: 'If you want money, ask for advice. If you want advice, ask for money.' This approach ensures that you not only gain valuable insights from seasoned professionals but also organically attract investors who believe in your vision and character.  
 Troy and Rashad probe further, asking Ryan about the strategic targeting of potential mentors and investors, and how to avoid getting a 'no.' Ryan emphasizes the contagion effect of rejection in the investment community and advises playing the long game by impressing potential supporters gradually rather than rushing to secure funds.  
 Throughout the episode, Ryan reflects on how critical it is to foster genuine connections within a network that can later be leveraged for intros and investments. His advice also covers the importance of not showing desperation to potential investors, as they are adept at detecting it to secure the best deals for themselves.  
 For anyone looking to raise funds for their startup, this episode is a goldmine of practical wisdom and strategic advice. Whether you're in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey or looking to refine your approach to fundraising, Ryan Breslow's experience and insights will equip you with the tools to succeed.  
 Don't miss out on this episode packed with actionable advice and strategies for mastering the art of fundraising.

Study Hall: Mastering the Art of Fundraising

In this insightful clip of EYL, Ryan Breslow, a successful entrepreneur and advocate for a four-day work week, shares his philosophy on maximizing productivity and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Ryan discusses the detrimental effects of perpetual exhaustion in the traditional workplace and introduces the concept of eliminating "work theater" to focus on impactful work that truly drives results. 
 With a belief in the effectiveness of intense bursts of productivity followed by rejuvenation, Ryan emphasizes the importance of allowing employees to work like lions for four days and then unwind, spend time with family, and recharge. By redefining the work week structure and encouraging a present-focused approach, Ryan strives to create a more efficient and fulfilling work environment for his team. 
 Additionally, Ryan sheds light on his preference for remote work, highlighting the benefits of a remote setup and the flexibility it offers to employees. While some of his companies have physical offices for specific purposes, remote work remains a core element of his organizational culture. 
 Beyond his entrepreneurial ventures, Ryan is deeply committed to giving back to the community through impactful initiatives, including his non-profit organization, "The Movement." Through the power of dance, Ryan's organization aims to spread happiness and improve mental health in underserved communities, such as refugee camps and homeless shelters. By providing accessible and scalable solutions through dance programs, Ryan and his team have made a significant impact on individuals facing mental health challenges in these settings.

Does a Four Day Work Week Work?

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, hosts Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and guest Vlad Tenev delve into the revolutionary world of finance with a focus on Robinhood's groundbreaking credit card and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping financial services. Vlad Tenev shares the importance of diversifying Robinhood's portfolio with a credit card offering that not only provides lending capabilities but also enhances customer spending experiences. With credit cards being a prevalent tool for transactions in the US, Robinhood's approach of industry-leading value, customer experience, and 3% cashback sets it apart in the financial services space. 
 Moreover, Vlad Tenev discusses the potential impact of AI in finance, highlighting areas such as financial advice and customer service that could be transformed by artificial intelligence in the next decade. While AI may disrupt certain aspects of financial services, Tenev emphasizes that self-directed and active trading spaces may not see immediate replacements by robots due to human preference for hands-on involvement in trading activities.
