“I am very curious and I do not mind taking risks“ – Kamal Ravikant.

In 2019 I heard this interview from Kamal on the James Altucher podcast, I found it interesting and provocative. I did not know him until then. One day Jock Gordon, a mutual friend, offered me the opportunity to interview him. However, we were unable to continue because Kamal nearly lost his life in an accident.

“Discipline comes from what you decide“

Kamal Ravikant has lived and meditated with monks in the Himalayas, where he has also gone up to the highest camp. He has served in the United States Army infantry, travelled the Camino de Santiago, as well as being a co-founder and venture capitalist at various companies in Silicon Valley. A professional nomad lived who has worked with some of the icons of global entrepreneurship. Even as he highlights, he has accompanied patients in their final moments.

“Stories change lives“

On the other hand, Kamal has written three Best Sellers and has been the only male member of the Black Women group of writers.

“Hemingway was my teacher“

His books (two of them also available in Spanish): Love yourself Like Your Life Depends on It, Rebirth and Live Your Truth.
