Money talks, and losing $6 million in your twenties can turn your world upside down. While many people find it hard to recover from losing even $1 million, imagine the determination needed to come back from such a staggering loss. It might seem impossible, but some extraordinary individuals not only bounce back but also thrive in the face of adversity.
In this captivating episode of "Hawke Talk," I'm joined by the renowned biohacker, entrepreneur, and author Dave Asprey. A Silicon Valley expert, Dave transitioned from hacking computers to hacking biology. His career took a pivotal turn when he joined Exodus Communications and co-founded its services division.
