Summary
Jimmy Soni is the author a brand new book called "The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley" In this conversation we talk about Paypal and the individuals who made that company, and why PayPal is so important to Silicon Valley. Jimmy also shares some stories about Elon Musk that have never been told publicly before. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp =======================
