Learn Why Billionaires Like Peter Thiel Are Bullish On This 25-Year-Old

In this episode of Beyond The Wealth, I sit down with Kian Sadeghi, the founder of Nucleus Genomics, a trailblazing startup revolutionizing genetic testing and personalized health. Kian dropped out of UPenn, lied to his immigrant parents to build his company, and turned a deeply personal family tragedy into a billion-dollar vision. Investors like Founders Fund and Alexis Ohanian backed him early — not because of his resume, but because of his relentless founder energy.

We break down:

- How Kian raised millions without a degree or formal science background

- What makes Nucleus “the most advanced DNA health test ever created”

- Why he believes this is the single greatest time in history to start a company

- How he used rejection, curiosity, and pressure to build a rocket ship

This conversation is a masterclass in founder grit, long-term thinking, and turning pain into purpose. If you're building something big or want a peek into the future of genomics, AI in healthcare, and founder-driven startups, don’t miss this.

How He Got Rich Selling Cigars In His 20s | Nick Fusco

In this episode of Beyond The Wealth, I sit down with Nick Fusco — the founder of El Mago Cigars and my childhood best friend — to talk about how he built one of the most unique and fast-growing premium cigar brands in the U.S. from the ground up. With no prior business or manufacturing experience, Nick shares how he entered the cigar industry, overcame the challenges of being a young entrepreneur in a traditionally older space, and created standout blends backed by a powerful personal story. We talk about the behind-the-scenes process of blending cigars, the strategy behind his loud and colorful packaging, what it takes to start a cigar brand, and how he’s scaled El Mago into 46 states and multiple countries — all while keeping the integrity of a product handmade from seed to smoke. 🎯 Subscribe for weekly conversations with real entrepreneurs and creators building amazing brands: @beyondthewealth 📰 Love cigars?
