Scott Galloway Tells All - $100M Net Worth, $4 Trillion Business Opp & Career Advice

**Scott Galloway** (0:00)
I look at this category and how much money is in this category, and it's gonna happen. It's just, there's never been a business, there's never been a carcass so tempting, so bloated, swimming so slowly.

All right, we just asked Scott Galloway, if he was 25 years old again, what businesses would he start? Because this guy started, I think, nine businesses, nine businesses, sold one for over $100 million. And we said, if you were 25, what would you do? What are the ideas, the opportunities, the trends that you would take advantage of? And he gave us two answers. He said, if you had no degree, no college degree, no fancy education, he would do this.
And he said, if I had a fancy degree, instead I would do this other thing. Very cool to hear kind of where his head's at. The small opportunities and the big one, what he called the multi-trillion dollar carcass that he can't believe nobody has disrupted yet. And on top of that, we asked him about his finances. We talked about when he sold his companies and made his first few million bucks and then tens of millions of dollars, all the way up to how he got over a hundred million dollars, how he lost it along the way.
And what were the key moments that allowed him to reach those heights with this on finances? I've seen probably a hundred interviews with Scott Galloway and I'd never heard him reveal these numbers or talk about this so openly. In fact, at one point he goes, I'm naked here. I'm naked here guys, you gotta tell me something.
And so very, very good interview with Scott Galloway. Enjoy, but you know, we're not Scott Galloway. We don't have a hundred million dollars in the bank. So first, a message from our sponsor.

Welcome to the pod. I've been listening to you for a very long time. I was a fan of yours starting, I think with L2, the No Mercy, No Malice videos.
And the reason I've liked you is I find myself, you might be 15 or 20 years older than me, but I find myself looking up to you because I think we have a lot of very similar characteristics which are?

**Scott Galloway** (2:40)
Erectile dysfunction?

**Shaan Puri** (2:42)
Not yet.

**Scott Galloway** (2:42)
Anger? Depression?

**Shaan Puri** (2:45)
I have hair, but you're pretty buff.
You might be buffer than me. I admire you for that.

**Scott Galloway** (2:51)
Thanks for that.

**Shaan Puri** (2:52)
Like you like to post shirtless pics.
I do. I like you for that.

**Scott Galloway** (2:55)
I do.

**Shaan Puri** (2:56)
But you're very hard to peg down politically. You're kind of like all over the map when it comes to that. You also, you have beautiful language. I'm a big fan of beautiful language. You've got beautiful language. You're better than I am. But I look, so I look up to you for that. And you started a bunch of really amazing businesses, but you're kind of known. Like I've told, we did this episode where we talked about your personal finances, where you talked about spending two to 400,000 a month. And people were like, I didn't know Scott was so rich. And I was like, no, he created a bunch of really big companies, but you're more famous for being like Scott Galloway, the brand.
And I think that that's pretty cool. And so you've done a bunch of really interesting stuff.

**Sam Parr** (3:33)
This is the whole episode, by the way, it's just Sam complimenting you. It's like a reverse roast actually. So you just sit there and you just get compliments.
At the end of the hour, you know, you feel good. That's what happens here.
