The Cash Flow Game: Playing the Odds in Business and Life

The Cash Flow Game: Playing the Odds in Business and Life
In this conversation with Roohi, I break down why most entrepreneurs are chasing the wrong game. We talk about starting with the end in mind, setting a personal cash flow number, and building boring businesses that actually stack the odds in your favor. I explain why speed is your only real advantage as a founder, how momentum compounds over time, and why making 30K a month in a proven business beats swinging for a billion dollar moonshot most people will never hit. We also dive into confidence, communication, college, and how practicing discomfort early in life builds the muscle you need to win long term.
