Nick Hanauer was one of Jeff Bezos' first investors. Now he's telling other billionaires they have too much money.

He grew up working in his family's pillow factory, helped start Amazon before anyone believed people would shop online, and sold a single company to Microsoft for $6 billion. By every measure, the system worked perfectly for him. That's exactly why he wants to tear it down.

In this episode, Nick Hanauer, venture capitalist, first non-family investor in Amazon, and the man behind the viral essay "The Pitchforks Are Coming" - explains why the rich getting richer isn't just unfair, it's the thing quietly breaking the modern economy.

In this episode, he says the parts most billionaires never will:

◼️ How selling pillows taught him more about Amazon's future than any expert and why he backed Jeff Bezos when people thought the whole idea was nuts

◼️ Why the top 1% have grown $21 trillion richer and how 50 years of economic policy made the bottom 90% poorer every single year

◼️ Why not one of America's 11,000 economists backed his $15 minimum wage and how the real-world results proved them wrong

◼️ What he really thinks of Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos and why he believes the economy now rewards the people who care least about everyone else

◼️ How AI could power the next wave of innovation or trigger a massive crash, and the simple policy changes that could shift $2 trillion back to working families
