Welcome back to Making Bank! Today’s episode we have Naveen Jain, who is a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist, dedicated to addressing the world's most pressing challenges through innovation. He has founded several successful companies, including Moon Express, BlueDot, Viome, TalentWise, and InfoSpace, each reflecting his commitment to transformative solutions.   (3:40) Being An Entrepreneur Many people believe that being an entrepreneur means starting a company. However, true entrepreneurs are problem solvers. There are three types of people: those who identify problems, those who complain about them, and those who are smart enough to find solutions.   (6:05) Selling Your Vision When you begin with a clear belief or vision, focus on your audacious goal—the big problem you're trying to solve. If people believe in you and your vision, they'll be eager to support and invest in everything you offer.   (13:10) Achieving Big Goals When you set a big, audacious goal, break it down into the smallest actionable steps. Each step you take should move you closer to that goal. You can't achieve the big picture all at once, so focus on executing one slice at a time. By the time you're finished, you'll have completed the entire journey.   (17:42) Microbiome Your gut microbiome produces essential nutrients your body needs, like short-chain fatty acids. To maintain this balance, you must feed your microbiome the right foods. Personalized nutrition is key, as our unique microbiomes require specific diets for optimal health.   (30:47) Raising Kids Make sure your kids know your love is unconditional, but your approval must be earned. Teach them that true self-worth comes from creating, not just owning. Wealth doesn't define value—contribution does.   (39:52) Mindset As an entrepreneur, focus on addressing root causes and creating abundance. While sustainability often gets equated with conservation—using less to save more—the real path to success is about generating more, not just cutting back. To achieve true sustainability, focus on creating more of everything, rather than merely conserving.   (48:56) Intellectual Curiosity Intellectual curiosity is crucial; if you’re not learning every day, you risk becoming obsolete. Stopping your pursuit of knowledge equates to stagnation. To stay vibrant and relevant, continually seek new learning opportunities.   Tags: Instagram: Naveen Jain @naveenjainceo
