Wealthy After 40: Retirement Planning and Budgeting for Gen X · The Beat of Personal Finance with Drew Boyer · 11 Jul 2025 podcast

And so the genesis of the story is it starts with Napster.

He's also at the same time persuaded by a sneaker company to possibly do a sneaker line.

And the actual chapter in the book is called Speakers, Not Sneakers.

And a partner that he knew to reach out to, Jimmy Iovine, had told him, you don't know sneakers, you know speakers, you know sound, you're the producer.

So let's do this and solve the problem for it.

And it's really amazing evolution of how they didn't trust sound engineers.

They would invite in other artists to put them on and they were playing 50 cents monster first hit into club.

And so they were getting artists feedback and by involving all these other people into the team,

that when they actually came out with Beats, the artists that had tried them out started wearing them.

And then you see in our celebrity-obsessed culture, oh, they're at Beats on, I should wear Beats too.

And it's really interesting how that goes out.

And at the end of the day, they get bought out by Apple, who they were solving the problem for, for $3.2 billion.

And you can read it and check it out for what happened, but they lowered it by 0.2, which doesn't seem like much, but that's $200 million.

And then they end up selling the company to Apple for $3 billion.

Wow.

So amazing.

So one of the quotes in the book, and I think it's Benjamin Franklin, is that an investment in education pays the best dividends or invest in what you know.

So don't try to go running after the current theme of whatever is now like AI is very hot.

And I think energy is becoming a heated up sector.

A lot of the times you could just do what the great John Vogel said.
