#735 - Chase the Sun: The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint for Where to Live

Roy Lee, founder of Cluely, went from being kicked out of Columbia to building a company valued at over $100 million in just three months. In this episode of The Tai Lopez Show, Tai and Roy dive into the rise of AI, the future of work, and how tools like Cluely are changing everything—from job interviews to billion-dollar business models. They debate whether AI will make humans the “pets” of machines, how AI might replace teachers and therapists, and if brain-chip integration is the inevitable next step. They also cover the marketing strategies behind Cluely’s explosive growth, where short-form content and growth hacking meet AI scale.  👉 Learn more about Cluely: https://cluely.com 👉 Follow Roy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/im_roy_lee 👉 Follow Tai for more insights: https://tailopez.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"If you could watch one video and finally understand all of life… this is it. I break down money, love, happiness, and why we’re all anxious in the modern world. This is my attempt at the unified theory of human existence."What if you could understand all of life in one framework? In this video, Tai Lopez dives deep into what he calls the Grand Theory of Everything—the tension between three forces that shape human existence: Your ego (the self at the center of your experience) Your tribal instincts (family, survival, and primal drives) The global society (laws, morals, and systems much larger than the tribe) Tai explains how this clash between the “small world” and the “big world” explains modern struggles like anxiety, relationships, money, morality, and even politics. From ancient tribes to the industrial revolution to today’s hyper-connected cities, he reveals how our DNA still pulls us toward tribal living—even while society pushes us into global conformity. Learn why so many people feel confused, anxious, and unfulfilled in modern life, and how to manipulate your environment to regain balance, happiness, and success. 📌 Topics covered: Why money is a social currency and why it causes so much stress  The rise of anxiety in the modern age  Tribal instincts vs. global morality (and how this affects love, marriage, and family)  Why entrepreneurs and high achievers still feel “it’s never enough”  Practical ways to balance the small world and big world in your life 👉 Watch until the end to learn Tai’s solution: creating a lifestyle that blends primitive simplicity with modern opportunity. 📲 Connect with Tai: Text/WhatsApp: +1 (786) 730-8374 iOS App: https://www.tailopez.com/iphoneyt Android App: https://www.tailopez.com/androidyt  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
