Noah Kagan Presents

Sam Dogen (AKA, the Financial Samurai) founded America's #1 personal finance blog and podcast, helping people make and save more money while living the lives they truly want.

The market crash of 2009 rocked Sam's financial world even though he worked for 10 years at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse, got an MBA from UC Berkeley, saved aggressively, and diversified his investments.

So he started a personal finance site to help him and others make sense of all the chaos.

After writing 2,500+ personal finance articles, he used his knowledge to write a best-selling book, Buy This, Not That: How To Spend Your Way To Wealth And Freedom.

His book is your secret weapon to getting ahead in this hyper-competitive world.

Randomly stumbled upon David Wolve's music on Spotify, and I f*cking love it!

Turns out he makes all the music himself and works at the airport.

My favorite songs from him are "Rapture" and "Touring Test", but frankly all of them are amazing!

Go check his music out on YouTube or Spotify. https://okdork.com/podcast/250

Chris Ruder is the founder and CEO of Spikeball.

The funny thing about Spikeball is that it was invented by a different guy named Jeff Knurek in 1989. It was only in the market for a few years before quickly dying out.

Chris was actually an early player of the game as a kid, saw its potential, decided to find the game as an adult, and turn it into a successful business.

Bob Metcalfe helped invent the Ethernet in 1973 while working at Xerox.

He didn't get rich from helping to invent the Ethernet though.

Bob actually got rich by starting his own computer networking company called 3Com, where he sold Ethernet and many other products.

After the success of 3Com, which became a multi-billion dollar company, he tried many other careers.

He was a journalist, a VC, and a professor. And now, he is looking for his next job.
