What if the secret to building wealth wasn’t spending big, but acting broke? Lucy Guo (@guoforit), co-founder of Scale AI, founder of Passes, and the youngest self-made female billionaire, is redefining what it means to win in tech, money, and the creator economy. From her “act broke, stay rich” mindset, to proving people wrong in Silicon Valley, to helping creators build generational wealth, this is the conversation every founder, dreamer, and disruptor needs to hear. Why acting broke is Lucy’s rule for staying rich The truth about being a “billionaire” (and why it’s not cash in the bank) How equity, not cash, creates generational wealth The surprising power of free things (and why Lucy still takes UberX) How she handles haters, trolls, and being called “the party girl of tech” Why proving people wrong has fueled her biggest wins What founders get wrong about raising money and scaling fast How AI will shape the next wave of unicorn companies Why consistency, discipline, and content are the only real creator superpowers This isn’t about chasing trends or titles. It’s about building smarter, betting on yourself, and creating wealth that lasts. ⸻ This episode is sponsored by: ⁠⁠Pique⁠⁠ - Use this link for 20% off.
