On a roadless trail.

Well, I guess we're live. Pomp, do people ever introduce you by your real full name? Are you just, are you Pomp at all times?

**Anthony Pompliano** (0:22)
Yeah, some people do, but people get offended. If I go to a conference and I introduce myself as Anthony, and then later they're like, wait, you're Pomp? Who knows you as Anthony? Like, well, that is my name.
My parents did name me that.

**Sam Parr** (0:36)
Well, then we're going to keep you as Pomp. We have Pomp here. Pomp, you've been on the pod a handful of times, and we've talked about you a handful of times, and we've been on your pod a handful of times.
And so it's nice to have you back. Congratulations on new family member, and you're here recently after doing it, so we appreciate that.

Yeah, of course, just three dads hanging out on the internet. Who could have guessed?

I had a good joke that I didn't get to do the other day when Sam Altman was in the news, and then like Jack Altman comes out and says something, and then Max Altman comes out and says something, and then his sister, Annie Altman comes out, I'm like, how many fucking Altmans are there? There's more Altmans than Pomplianos now. What's happening here? Because I feel like you have brothers coming out the woodwork as well. Do you feel that your sibling dominance is threatened in any way by the Altmans right now?

**Anthony Pompliano** (1:23)
I did see people making that joke, and I did Google how many Altmans there are, and they are not more Altmans than Pomplianos, so we're safe for the moment.

I don't even know how to describe you. So I think a lot of our listeners will know you are, so we don't have to spend that much time, but you started out as kind of a one trick pony. You're just basically the guy on Twitter who talked about Bitcoin, but now you've evolved significantly beyond that. So you've got the Pomp media empire, but then you've also started, I don't even know how many businesses, many though.

**Shaan Puri** (2:41)
Hold on, Sam, can we do an analogy? Pomp going from Bitcoin laserized to real estate and all kinds of other shit that he's doing now.
Is this Justin Timberlake from NSYNC now going solo Justin Timberlake? What's the right analogy here? Who has made such a transition, such a life pivot like this? Is there anyone that's done this in Hollywood?

**Anthony Pompliano** (3:07)
Well, here's the thing is, it's not really a pivot if you kind of expand out off of the internet, right? So if you think about, I started my career building companies, then I went and I worked at Facebook, then I started investing. And then once I was investing, that's really where kind of the Bitcoin stuff happened.
But even the stuff on the internet, I worked directly with Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg for a short period of time at Facebook when they were trying to figure out how do they grow their audiences on Facebook? I remember early on when Fuck Jerry, the Instagram account, they were trying to go from Instagram and figure out what's their Facebook strategy. And so the reason why I say that is like, I don't know, think of like a Kim Kardashian. She goes from like sex tape to reality TV star to like entrepreneur billionaire to now like criminal justice reform to I think she's gonna be president of the United States one day.
