In this powerful episode, Paul Alex sits down with health insurance powerhouse Mara Dorne (@maradorne) — a woman who went from losing six businesses, her home, and every sense of stability… to becoming one of the most respected leaders in the health insurance industry, generating over $1 billion in team production. Mara breaks down the real truth behind health insurance sales — the part most people never see. She opens up about failing for six straight months, rebuilding her life as a young mother with no options, and the mindset shift that helped her turn everything around. From navigating a male-dominated field to building elite sales teams across the country, Mara’s story proves that you don’t need experience — you need resilience, ownership, and the courage to go all in. In this conversation, you’ll learn: 🔥 Why health insurance remains one of the most powerful residual income opportunities 🔥 The internal breakthrough that turned Mara from zero income to $92K in six months 🔥 How to develop unshakeable confidence when everyone doubts you 🔥 The traits every winning sales culture MUST have 🔥 What it takes to rise as a female leader in a competitive industry 🔥 How to build a life you design, not a life you inherit If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a salesperson, or someone rebuilding after hitting rock bottom, this episode will shift your entire perspective.

The Andrej Karpathy episode.

During this interview, Andrej explains why reinforcement learning is terrible (but everything else is much worse), why AGI will just blend into the previous ~2.5 centuries of 2% GDP growth, why self driving took so long to crack, and what he sees as the future of education.

It was a pleasure chatting with him.

President Trump’s approval ratings on the economy, immigration and trade are deep in the red. But in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, he decided to tell the American people: You don’t know what you’re talking about. “Today our border is secure, our spirit is restored, inflation is plummeting, incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before,” he said. I’m not going to fact-check the president in this episode. But I do want to ask: Even if he can’t be honest with the American people, is he at least being honest with himself? My editor Aaron Retica joins me to discuss.
