Nik Sharma breaks down the startup survival guide for the AI era, revealing how AI agents are changing entrepreneurship, business strategy, brand building, and e-commerce. He explains what founders need to know about startup funding, marketing automation, AI tools, competitive advantage, and the future of work—and how small teams can now compress weeks of execution into hours.
This conversation explores why traditional business moats are disappearing, what gives a company a genuine reason to exist, and why distribution, proprietary data, supply-chain advantages, and creator partnerships matter more than ever. Nik also compares agencies with consumer brands, explains why agencies become harder to operate around $200,000–$250,000 per month, and reveals how raising too much capital can trap a startup before it proves product-market fit.
You’ll learn how to test business ideas efficiently, build an AI-native team, choose stronger business models, and identify overlooked opportunities in niche agencies and Main Street businesses. Subscribe to The Alchemist’s Library for more conversations about business, technology, wealth, health, psychology, and self-mastery.

The New York Post called Shamus Madan a “Gen Z digital mogul,” but his story began with $13.90, a failing agency, and a decision to leave college. In this episode, Shamus breaks down New York City entrepreneurship, LinkedIn marketing, personal branding, agency growth, client acquisition, viral content strategy, and how AI is reshaping the creator economy.
Shamus explains how moving to New York changed his network, standards, and opportunities; how one LinkedIn post generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in closed business; and why inbound attention can outperform cold outreach. He also shares a practical LinkedIn growth strategy, including daily posting, proven hooks, audience building, and the content formats that drive qualified leads.
The conversation goes deeper into why agencies can be an effective first business, why chasing trendy offers is usually a mistake, and why exceptional writers and marketers may become more valuable as average work is automated.

What no one tells you about making money online is that online business, entrepreneurship, AI business, digital marketing, SaaS, venture capital, bootstrapping, Gen Z careers, and personal branding are often sold through the same manufactured FOMO. In this conversation, Riley Lamont explains why distribution matters more than product, why most people should not become entrepreneurs, and how online gurus can quietly shape your definition of success.
Riley breaks down the difference between building a real company and chasing short-term internet income, the hidden cost of venture funding, and why some $400,000 employees live better than founders. He also explains how AI creates leverage, why businesses fail to integrate AI correctly, and how better data, prompting, and systems turn artificial intelligence into a genuine operating advantage.
The episode closes with a live breakdown of Labify Health’s offer, including competitive positioning, blood testing, recurring revenue, supplements, coaching, and customer lifetime value.

Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism, reveals the 7 words that make people open up instantly while breaking down communication skills, active listening, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, social media distraction, the AI age, nonviolent communication, and the psychology of being misunderstood. In this conversation, Greg explains why modern life has moved beyond distraction into disorientation — and why the real bottleneck in relationships, leadership, family, and business is “confident misunderstanding.”
Ryan and Greg explore Carl Rogers’ forgotten 1952 communication rule, the phrase “Let me see if I understand you,” and why making someone feel deeply understood can defuse arguments, build trust, and unlock better conversations. They also discuss how Satya Nadella helped shift Microsoft’s culture, how listening played a role in locating Saddam Hussein, and why removing noise is often more powerful than adding more signal.

How do you build and scale an online business when AI is replacing entire skill sets? The new million dollar skill isn't coding, copywriting, or media buying — it's assembly.
Josh Gavin is 23 years old, has created over 800 low-ticket offers, and partners with 7- and 8-figure creators to launch digital products for their audiences.
In this episode of The Alchemist's Library, Josh breaks down the new million dollar skill for building and scaling a business in the AI era: becoming an assembler. If you're a young entrepreneur trying to future-proof your career with AI replacing entire job titles overnight, this is the playbook for launching offers, leveraging AI tools, and building online businesses without doing everything yourself.
Josh shares how he took a brand new health info business from zero to $145K with no experience in that market, his exact offer architecture for coaching and expert businesses, why most guys get stuck chasing identities instead of solving problems, and how to use paid ads without fear. We also deep dive into low ticket vs. high ticket funnels, why the "ads will break when you scale" narrative is propaganda, and how to choose the right online business model in 2026 and beyond.

On the Clinical Faculty at Yale Medical School, Dr. Anna is presently creating a Spirituality & Mental Health Program.
After working as a neurobiology researcher with Dr. Robert Sapolsky Ph.D. and completing her studies at Stanford, Yale Medical School, and the NYU Psychiatry Residency Training Program, Dr. Anna felt that something was missing from her life. In her quest to find it, she traveled, lived, and worked in over 70 countries, while studying Kabbalah, learning Buddhist meditation, and working with South American shamans and Indian gurus.
Dr. Anna has published over 150 academic articles, book chapters, scientific abstracts, book reviews, and Dr. Anna gives keynotes for physicians and professionals all over the country and the world on topics related to mental health and spirituality, physicians as meaning-makers, and resilience. For healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, and community members, she also conducts workshops to empower individuals to sharpen their intuition, cultivate authenticity, awaken self-compassion, enhance their capacity for empathy, and improve their ability to connect with others.
Dr. Anna discusses various topics related to mental health, spirituality, and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the concept of obstacles as opportunities for growth. The conversation explores the study of energy, the mainstream acceptance of spiritual concepts, and the role of psychedelics in holistic mental health. The power of group settings, intuition, and synchronicities are also discussed. Other topics include gratitude, living a fulfilled life, overcoming fear, reprogramming the mind for abundance, and integrating yin and yang energies. The conversation concludes with a focus on confidence in spirituality and the journey of overcoming addictions.

After the loss of a close friend in his early twenties, Sebastian had a moment of reflection which led him to asking himself a question that would go on to change his life, “Am I happy?" The answer was NO, and so he penned down a list of 100things that he hoped would bring him closer to a sense of happiness. Now 10 years on and counting, Seb has ticked off 74 items from his list, has raised almost half a million dollars for charities and has found a sense of purpose that he could never have dreamed of. His story, turned into books, TV shows and documentaries, has most impressively inspired a global community of individuals and organizations who have identified, pursued and achieved their own goals, too.

Institute.
Through these methods of study as well as through other methods such as breathing techniques like Wim Hof Method, Ayahuasca, Qi Gong, barefoot walking, Ice baths and…yes…drinking his own urine, Troy has transformed his health to be the best of his life at the age of 54 years old. Troy used ayahuasca to help him to rekindle his relationship with his wife and also to see visions of his future. He has a grand vision for helping to create a world with clean air, water, soil, and equitable systems for all mankind in his lifetime – something he believes is absolutely attainable. He recently wrote a book called Ripped at 50 which outlines his journey and allows others to see his path to health.
