Don't Ask, Just Take: The Machiavellian Way to Wealth.

Why does the world quietly lose respect for those who ask for permission? The brutal truth is that "goodness" and "hard work" are not currencies of power—leverage is. Through the ruthlessly pragmatic lens of Machiavelli, combined with the modern strategies of Naval Ravikant and Sahil Lavingia, this video exposes why asking for a seat at the table guarantees you will be fed last. You will discover the four levels of wealth creation, why being "reliable" is a trap for the obedient, and how to shift from a position of begging to a position of sovereignty where your silence commands more authority than your words. Stop waiting to be chosen. Learn to take your position.
