Wait, My Intern Became a 21-Year-Old Millionaire?? (#510)

Synopsis

Shaan interviews his former intern Ishan Haque, who went from $30K salary to a 22-year-old millionaire via early bets in Animoca/Afterpay, founded crypto-casino Shuffle, and now brainstorms software ideas: YC for nerdy kids, a CRM for cashed-up niches, VIP-management software, and a Cultural Concierge for business development.
