Phones, robo-taxis and coffee

Julian Petroulas starts his day in Shanghai by noticing how often people look at their phones. Groups of people sit together in cafes, but they seem more interested in their screens than in each other. He then talks about robo-taxis and imagines a future in which a personal car such as a Tesla could earn money by picking up passengers.

He stops for coffee at Raba, a local brand, and says the quality is better than fast-food chains such as Starbucks. This leads to a point about business. In a crowded market, he says, the answer is to improve the product and the brand and then grow it, and he cites Raba as a multi-billion dollar company. He also jokes about promoting his course for people who want to become millionaires.

Wealth, style and simple things

Julian explains how his view of money has changed. He once spent on designer brands, but now he prefers plain t-shirts and classic jackets. In his view real wealth is usually understated, and he points to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who do not show off designer labels. His one exception is good jewelry, which he considers an investment because it keeps its value and goes with any outfit. He is also surprised to find organic t-shirts sold out in China and warns that polyester items tend to lose their shape after washing.

Delegation

Julian says an important lesson for him is delegation. Following Richard Branson, he admits that he tends to do everything himself and says that trusting other people with tasks matters for success and for avoiding burnout. He has started to apply this more in his own life.

What money does in Shanghai

For people who want their money to go further, Julian recommends Shanghai. He compares the high costs and poor service he has seen in places like Australia with better service and lower prices in Shanghai, which lets people spend on richer experiences instead of simply saving. He also says he smokes a cigar about once a week, treats it as a vice he keeps under control and does not recommend smoking, though he accepts that people need some personal enjoyment.
