Today, one of the guests, Pedram, talks about Zephyr, a new airline seating concept. An idea created by Jeffrey O'Neil, he proposes a new seating concept that allows live flatbeds for economy class travelers on long-haul international flights. Their vision is to redesign the customer experience for the modern traveler. It's offering privacy and a general enhanced onboard in-flight experience at a more affordable price point. Find out how this can revolutionize not just the airline seating space, but also other forms of travel as well and the potential growth this idea can have in the future. 

This time, Edwin talks about the business that he found very disruptive. It's called Plei, an app where you can book a field, invite your friends, pay for your field, and much more. Right now its mainly centered in just football (soccer), but maybe they might expand into other sports as well. Another great idea that can solve problems for users.

Part 1 of a mini series of episodes made in collaboration with Edwin Gallego and Pedram Baniasadi where we discuss about Blue, a business card that uses Near Field Communication technology (NFC) and bluetooth to make connections with the people around you. It's a card that you can use to tap on other people's phone that shows all your social media profiles that you want to show up and even your Spotify account and PayPal in case someone wants to pay you. It keeps track of the people you walked passed by and the people that you actively made connections with. Also, it uses beacon technology which is tremendously important in the future for businesses to provide special offers to customers who are subscribed to their products/services. Among other things, this is a business that can be truly groundbreaking in the future.

I finally get to practice what I preach. I've finally entered the game, so lets see how it goes. My aim for now is the long game, so I'm going to start off with businesses that have value.

What happens on Wall Street doesn't truly reflect the current situation we're going through. Some companies (especially big tech, FAANG, etc) have reached record highs, and this is mainly thanks to the central banks with their quantitative easing. Hard to think how the stock market is going up so much when some people are out of business or in the unemployment line. Funding these big companies can be a good move at first, but someone is going to have to pay for the recovery bill. 

In this crisis in which we are all tangled in, there will be winners as well as losers. There will be industries where they will see themselves heavily impacted due to the major demand shock they are experiencing. Whereas corporations with a heavy online presence will thrive in times like these. With online commerce, online streaming and cloud technology playing a huge part.

When people tell you about the incredible returns that can be made from an investment, don't be fooled. Inflation reduces the returns you can potentially earn. So it's super important to differentiate between the nominal return and the real return.
