Originally from India, Pearl is now based in Monaco, and we are excited to share what we learned from him here in this exclusive interview.
Hello everybody, Richard C. Wilson here with Family Office Club and billionaires .com. We're interviewing 100 billionaires. We're asking them three questions each and collecting over 500 insights from these 100 billionaires.
I'm also reading every one of the two. 240 books Written by billionaires not on them, but actually authored by them importantly and today we have with us someone really exciting They're the newest youngest billionaire out of India If you haven't been paying any attention to the news cycle in 2024 you'll not be surprised to hear that he works in the area of AI web 3 cyber security block chain and blockchain -related
operating system and infrastructure solutions. So we have with us here today, Pearl Kapoor, and he is from India originally, but based in Monaco.
And we are excited to complete this interview today. So thank you for being here today, Pearl. My very first question is, if you were to look back over the course of your success.
success what was the major turning point or action or choke point you acquired that really increased all of your momentum from there on out? Well the fact that I'm relentless when it comes to learning new things and ability to sell this is a huge competitive advantage there isn't always a single turning point to be honest but rather a series of strategic decisions and movements that contribute to overall success,
like identifying lucrative market opportunity, making more investments or acquisitions, developing innovative products, building strong partnerships,
networking. Well, also there has to be reasons, you know, like, you know, you wanna get up in the morning. What really inspires you?
What you want to live? What you want to live for? You have to be excited about the future, you know, to derive you, I mean. And also,
really, the age plays an important role. Like, now is the time to take risks as you get older. Another obligation to increase. And once you have a family,
you start taking risks, not just for yourself, but for your family as well. And we get much harder to do things that might not woke up. And now is the time to do that before you have those obligations.
Well, I would encourage to take risks right now, to do something bold or I make sure, I'm pretty sure you want to regret it.
- Wow, awesome. Yeah, I love that answer. We just met each other yesterday via LinkedIn. We did not know who each other were just a couple of months ago, or a couple of days ago even.
And I've been talking a lot within our investor club about how I'm trying not to take any meetings I don't want to take. I try to only work on things that I'm very excited about.
And if you don't live by those rules, how can you be excited about it? your work day? How can you be excited about what you're trying to get done this month or this quarter if you allow things to get into your calendar and take your time? That is not truly genuinely exciting.
So I love that answer and I love that it just genuinely came up without me prodding or asking about that. I also took some notes here on taking bold moves, being inspired and relentlessly learning.
I have to say, after all this time, I'm very excited about what I'm trying to get done. dozens of billionaire interviews and 75 books I've read that are written by billionaires, the curiosity,
voracious reader, constantly learning thing comes up again and again. It perhaps is one of the top three most common themes across all of the billionaire insights that I've consumed to date.
So I love that you brought that up as well. I'd like to move on now to the second question that I'd like to go over, and that is, what is the most valuable strategy that's worth far more than a million dollars that you wish someone had provided to you earlier on before you started your business or earlier on in your career?
I would likely attribute my success to a combination of strategies rather than a single one. However, one where it was strategy that could potentially accelerate my success earlier on would be the concept of leverage.
Learning how to effectively leverage resources, whether it's through people, technology, capital, it can significantly multiply the impact of my efforts and investments.
investments. Yeah. Most important thing that I learned is proximity is powerful. If you want to grow, like you want challenges in your life,
you get challenges for yourself to grow. If you want to do well, get in proximity with people, playing the game much higher than yourself and the idea of surrounding yourself with people who have have already achieved your goals or people who you admire and people like who are playing a game at a higher level than you.
What if I, I mean in simple words, it's like a simple act of whom you spend your time with it, it's who you become. Great,
got it. So proximity is power. That was one of the top three things that Tony Robbins decided to emphasize when we asked him these three questions as well. Hang around with people that have already been playing the game for 10 or 20 or 30 years who are one at the game that you're trying to play.
People who have been down the path before you, people that are who you want to become in the future, because you do become like those that you hang out with and consume ideas from all the time.
Love that answer. That's pretty much it. the whole reason why we bought billionaires .com. It took us 12 years to acquire it. That's why I want to interview 100 billionaires and read all the billionaire books to be a bit more like them in ways that make sense for the type of life I want to live.
So really love that answer. And just this morning on LinkedIn, I saw a post that said, "Are you fatigued?" A lot of my clients are saying they're already very fatigued this year, and it's only February.
How are you dealing with this? I really don't know. as politely as I could saying maybe don't hang out with people complaining that they're already fatigued. In my circles, I talked to people who are pretty excited about what they're doing.
A lot of big things going on, big ideas, making big bold moves, et cetera. And if you surround yourself with complainers, they're going to keep on complaining and you'll find yourself complaining before long. So doing the opposite,
I think is what's really important. So I love that you brought that up. We often say at our investor club events that family family office club should be a perpetual learning machine for you, just like going down the rabbit hole of trying to study every mental model you can and strategy you can that comes from a billionaire,
I think is just a fun adventure to go on and kind of a never -ending path. So, I'd like to get to our third question here just to respect your time for today. And that is, what's the number one costly mistake that you have?
seen and this is something that maybe business owners make or you've made in the past and what's a mistake that you've seen that's really costly that could be easily avoided perhaps.
- One of the most common and costly mistakes I've seen investors or business owners make is understanding the importance of to do due diligence.
This includes not fully understanding. understanding the market or failing to access risk, overlooking critical details in partnerships and acquisitions.
Also, making crucial decisions on investments, a right timing of investments, hyping right people. Another costly mistake mistake is is letting your emotions thrive on decisions instead of relying on data or analysis.
Great, got it. So what I'm hearing is just having a lot of strategic due diligence, research, careful, thoughtful actions on who you partner with,
obviously who you hire. That makes or breaks, obviously, the entire company. company, a single partnership. I've seen Catapult a company to tens of millions of revenue that before was not even on the radar of other competitors and all of us know hanging on to a bad employee or having the wrong CEO can completely ruin a company and take it off track.
So I appreciate you sharing those ideas and I love that you spent the time here with this interview today. Okay, so thank you, we'll keep in touch and hope to have you come do a five chat sometime at one of our investor club summits.
Take care. All right, that concludes this interview with Pearl. So if you know somebody who's billion -dollar -plus net worth, they could be first, second, third generation, and they wouldn't mind answering our three questions via email,
an audio message, a video interview on Zoom, a fireside chat, or a keynote speech on stage at one of our thousand -plus person investor summits. We would love to interview them. If not, please enjoy the rest of the interview series by going to billionaires .com,
