Is tech really the fast track to wealth — or just a story we tell ourselves?

In this episode of Resilient Riches, Yair Klyman sits down with David Siegel, former CEO / President of Meetup, Investopedia, and Seeking Alpha, for an honest, no-fantasy conversation about what building wealth in tech actually looks like.

David has led multiple high-growth tech companies, experienced two exits, and made some very real (and costly) mistakes along the way. In this conversation, he breaks down the myths most people believe about tech success — and what he wishes more founders, operators, and professionals understood before chasing the next big opportunity.

We cover:

• Why a huge exit doesn't necessarily mean personal wealth

• The hidden danger of raising too much capital too early

• Salary vs. equity — and how to think about the tradeoffs at different life stages

• How dilution quietly erodes ownership over time

• What really drives strong acquisition outcomes (hint: it starts years earlier)

• Why many people feel lost after an exit — and how to avoid that trap

• How to build wealth without burning out your health, family, or identity

This episode isn't about hype, hustle culture, or startup mythology. It's about structure, timing, ownership, values — and making decisions you can live with long after the headlines fade.

If you're in tech, thinking about getting into tech, or trying to understand how wealth, work, and life actually fit together, this conversation will give you clarity most people don't talk about publicly.

Cryptocurrency. Blockchain. Bitcoin. Tokenization.

Most people hear these words constantly — but very few actually understand what's happening beneath the surface.

In this episode of Resilient Riches, we sit down with Yael Tamar, one of the world's leading experts in cryptocurrency, digital assets, and tokenized finance, to finally break it all down in a way that makes sense.

Yael is a global crypto thought leader and the Founder & CEO of Dibs Capital, where she works with family offices, investment banks, broker-dealers, and institutional investors on tokenizing real-world assets and private equity. She's been at the forefront of crypto adoption for over a decade — long before it became mainstream.

Together, we explore:

• What cryptocurrency actually is — beyond the headlines

• How blockchain works as financial infrastructure (and why many people already use it without knowing)

• The difference between Bitcoin, stablecoins, and altcoins

• Why Bitcoin behaves the way it does as an investment asset

• How institutions and governments are using crypto today

• What tokenization means and why major banks see it as the future of finance

• How real-world assets like real estate, private equity, and funds are being digitized

• What everyday investors should understand before dismissing or embracing crypto

We also discuss real-world examples — from unbanked economies to global payment networks — that show how crypto is quietly reshaping how money moves across the world.

Whether you're a seasoned investor, a business owner, or someone who's always felt confused by crypto, this conversation offers clarity, context, and a grounded perspective on where digital assets fit into the modern financial system.
