My First Million - The Man Who Makes $1M/Year Selling Christmas Trees
The discussion begins with the surprising revelation that the Christmas tree market in New York City is dominated by a few powerful individuals, known as 'tree men,' who control territories and make significant profits during the holiday season. This business is likened to a Mafia-style operation, with colorful characters and high stakes. The conversation then shifts to health startups, highlighting two companies: Neco Health and Superpower. Neco Health, co-founded by Spotify's Daniel Ek, focuses on preventative healthcare with body scans, gaining 60,000 signups in 12 weeks. Superpower offers a comprehensive annual physical with over 100 lab tests and consultations for $499, attracting a waitlist of 100,000 people. These startups reflect a cultural shift towards proactive health management and the growing market for health innovations.
