Shaquille O'Neal shares the investing advice he got from Jeff Bezos that made him millions “I used to go to all these conferences cause I wanted to feel smart. You want to be smart, hang around smart people” “This was when Jeff Bezos, years before he created Amazon, he said, ‘You invest in things that's going to change people's lives’” “At that point, I was investing in ghetto stuff and crazy stuff and was losing. I was trying to get rich quick” “He said you invest in things going to change people's lives. So Ring was the first one…”

FT @SHAQ @ArmchairExpPod

@Jackkk Surely Shaq knew Bezos pre Amazon 😂 🤡

@Jackkk So Papa John's changed people's lives? I guess he didn't clarify if it was for the better or worse.

@Jackkk So he had this convo with Bezos…. Before.. Amazon? When he was just a normal guy? Makes me question the validity of this story.

@Jackkk No way Shaq and Bezos only met after Amazon blew up

@Jackkk Just because Shaq says things doesn’t mean it’s true.

@Jackkk "Does it shift human behavior?" That's what Cyan Banister, one of the first investors in SpaceX, asks herself.

@Jackkk Why is this podcast everywhere? Is it the new Lex Friedman?

@Jackkk invested in ring before amazon bought it, that’s the kind of bet that changes habits not just wallets.

@Jackkk Oh damn, Shaq dropping bombs, Ring is a banger investment.
