Dr Imran Mahmud studied Medicine at Oxford, before studying Public Health at Harvard on a Fulbright Scholarship. He then ranked first in the country entering the Ophthalmology training programme — promptly leaving and joining McKinsey. In 2018 he co-founded NYE Health, raising over £4M. He is now a startup advisor, angel investor, digital health consultant and content creator. We speak about angel investing — which was traditionally a way in which high net worth individuals could invest in small startups — but is now becoming possible for many more people. We speak about the digital nomad post-economic lifestyle — and whether doing whatever you want, wherever you want actually makes you happy. And one of my favourite one of Imran’s principles: To be interesting, do interesting things. I hope you enjoy. 0:00 Intro 0:49 How to angel invest 06:47 Can anyone angel invest? 10:46 To be interesting, do interesting things 12:43 Does money buy happiness? 16:40 Does freedom make you happy? 19:47 Is homeschooling weird? 23:52 Why are successful people making content? 29:20 Content creation as a competitive advantage 32:07 Better to know how to code or know how to make content? 33:19 Managing your ego 35:43 Habits that have helped you in your career?
