In this episode, Aman and Aadil debate whether networking events are actually worth your time or just a distraction from real work.
They explore the tension between public signals (follower counts, prestigious jobs) and private success (actual income, freedom, lifestyle).

Aman opens up about feeling status anxiety around high-earning engineers despite running a more successful business, shares the most racist comments he's ever received on a viral video, and admits why he's still chasing Forbes 30 Under 30.

A raw conversation about social capital, status games, and what actually unlocks opportunities in your career.
