Big Idea
The argument in one line.
You get rich from owning things and arriving early, which comes down to stewarding what you have, solving a real problem, finding the bottleneck everything depends on, and using AI to work like ten people.
Who This Is For
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
A young person with a job or a small audience who wants a simple framework for deciding what business to start first.
A solo founder or creator wondering how to use AI dashboards and agents to cover work a team would normally do.
An aspiring investor who wants to understand the 'sell the shovels' bottleneck thesis with a real titanium example.
SKIP IF…
You want detailed, step-by-step instructions for building the AI dashboards he mentions, because he only describes them.
You want balanced political analysis, since the France, AOC and Mamdani section is one-sided opinion framed as a business lesson.
TL;DR
The full version, fast.
Jake Paul argues you get rich from what you own and from arriving early, not from a paycheck. He opens with the parable of the talents: people who steward what they have get more, so start by managing small money, small audiences and your current job well. Rule one is to solve a problem, and the bigger move is to find the bottleneck everything depends on, like US titanium sponge, which America made none of last year. He then says to build AI dashboards and agents so one person works like ten, and closes with homework: list three problems, find a bottleneck, and build AI infrastructure around your time.

If you are bad at investing ten dollars, you will be bad at investing a billion, so scale only follows structure.
People pray for money but mismanage the little they have, want influence but ignore the 12 followers already on their page.
Making money boils down to solving a problem, and his first business was undercutting $50-an-hour landscapers at $10 an hour.
In a gold rush most diggers go broke and the people who sell the shovels get rich, so ask what everything depends on, not what is hot.
AI runs on chips, power and metal, which means the physical supply chain is the bottleneck, not the apps.
Whoever owns the bottleneck gets paid no matter who wins the race above it.
America imported a record 44,000 tons of titanium sponge last year and produced none, because its last big plant shut down in 2020.
By the time everyone hears about a company solving an obvious problem, the money has already been made, so getting in early is the whole game.
You can build AI dashboards that track your projects, budgets, calendar, training and relationships, so there are effectively ten of you working.
One-person companies are becoming realistic because most of the work around a business can be automated.
Generous-sounding promises like 35-hour work weeks and 75% taxes can end with the rich leaving and the tax raising almost nothing.
Ask what you wish someone else could do for you, then see if AI can build a tool that does it.
Ignore critics who talk no matter how well you perform; a title like venture capitalist is a fact of your fund, not an opinion poll.
Takeaway
Steward, solve, find the bottleneck
WHAT TO LEARN
Getting wealthy starts with managing small things well, then solving a real problem, then locating the scarce thing everyone else depends on.
Treat the small version as the test: how you handle ten dollars, twelve followers and your current job predicts how you would handle a billion, a huge audience or a bigger role.
Making money boils down to solving a problem, so pick one where people already pay too much or wait too long and offer a better deal.
In a boom, avoid the crowded trade and ask what the whole industry depends on, because the owner of that bottleneck gets paid whoever wins.
AI runs on physical inputs like chips, power and metals, so the supply chain can matter more than the software layer sitting on top.
Getting in early is the edge: once a bottleneck company is common knowledge, the easy money has already been made.
Build AI assistants and dashboards around your own projects, health, calendar and relationships so one person can cover work that used to take ten.
Judge policy promises by what they did to budgets and tax revenue over time, and protect your own money the same way, instead of trusting how generous the pitch sounds.
Glossary
Terms worth knowing.
Stewardship
Using and managing what you have been given well, whether that is money, time, an audience or a job, so that more can be trusted to you.
Bottleneck
The scarce thing a whole industry depends on and nobody is building enough of, so whoever controls it gets paid regardless of who wins.
Titanium sponge
The porous raw form titanium takes before it is melted into metal, needed for jet engines, fighter jets, missiles, submarines and satellites.
Rolling fund
A venture fund structure on AngelList where investors commit quarterly and the manager raises on a continuous basis rather than in one closed fund.
IRR / DPI
Two fund performance measures: internal rate of return is the annualized return, and distributions to paid-in capital is the cash actually returned relative to cash invested.
Re-industrialization
The thesis that the US should rebuild domestic manufacturing of chips, metals and heavy equipment rather than relying on foreign supply.

every day someone asks me the same question not about boxing not about logan not even about dubai on christmas eve they say jay how do i make more money and here's the honest answer you're not getting rich from a paycheck nobody does you get rich from what you own and from getting there early france hasn't had a balanced budget since 1974 and right here at home aoc wants a 70 tax rate in new york's new mayor is promising rent freezes and government grocery stores same playbook different accent people it's happening on our soil right now i don't get how people like just see what's happening in france and then be like oh yeah that's what we want VOTE DEMOCRAT!
This is Jake Paul Biz. We got a lot on the plate today. Let's get into it.
Okay, so this is a first of its kind video in this series where I'm bringing back the Jake Paul Biz channel. You guys saw the videos back in the day where I talked about investing, cold emails, gave you guys a bunch of tips. I truly want to inspire you guys and help you guys learn business.
And I actually had someone recently from the company WAP Austin come to me and tell me that... he was inspired by those jake paul biz videos and now he's absolutely crushing it as a content creator and those types of things mean the world to me more than anything and so back by popular demand jake paul biz is here and we're just gonna be talking about ai investing startups ideas hard work lessons politics things going on in the world i don't really know but i just want a place to brain dump essentially everything that's on my mind and my based opinions about the world as a 29 year old a lot of our leaders in this world are older and they form their opinions and put their opinions on to us but i believe that us younger people should also have a voice and i have a platform and so i will just be speaking about business and all things here so with that let's start it off with something that came across to me on tick tock the other day And I wanted to read it for you guys here.
Did you know that Jesus actually explained why the rich get richer? It's because the kingdom of God is not built on fairness. It's built on stewardship.
So in the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, the servant who buried his one talent didn't lose it because he had less. He lost it because he did nothing. with it that's very important and then jesus said something that sounded almost offensive to me at least he says for everyone who has more will be given and he will have an abundance but from one who does not have even what he has will be taken away so at first glance this verse seems extremely unfair i mean why Would it make sense to take from the person who has the least and give it to the person who has the most?
And so we're getting into this business lesson here, but it's not only talking about money. It's talking about responsibility. See, in the kingdom of God, has doesn't mean possession.
It means stewardship. So the one who has is the one who actually uses what he's. given and the one who does not have is the one who refuses to manage it effectively so I go back to Ohio where I'm from everything that we had there all my peers all my friends had the same education houses opportunities ideas level of education people around them influence money all of these things and because of the way that I Stewarded my position and opportunities and wanting more and to go out and live this big life.
I Was rewarded in doing so So the one who has is the one who actually uses what he's been given. And the one who does not have is the one who refuses to manage it effectively.
So here's how people miss that today. People pray for money, but they mismanage the little money. They already have that right now.
People want influence, but they don't steward the 12 followers that are on their page right now. People want opportunity, but they're not maximizing the job they're currently in. I tell this to people all the time, and I think this is the best lesson.
to start with on this channel and if you don't listen or watch anything else it goes back to the theory of making your bed if your room house isn't organized and your life isn't organized how can your business be organized how can your family be organized how can you scale something so big there's gonna be dirt cluster and everything everywhere if you are bad at investing ten dollars you're gonna be bad at investing one billion dollars that's just the way it goes people want scale without structure and people want to be famous and have this influence but they're not willing to cultivate their audience and be posting videos and to be replying to every single comment and to be engaging with their community and to go above and beyond and to be streaming all the time the list goes on and on not you have to be a steward of the talents and the things that you do have and God will reward you with the rest I promise so when I read this verse i realized something if i become excellent at managing what i'm giving increase isn't random it's a response and that's exactly how i knew i was going to be wealthy not because of luck but because the system of the kingdom rewards stewardship so here's how you steward what's in your hand and so even at the level i'm at currently i
I think this lesson just hits me hard because if I'm inspired by someone like Elon and I want to be like Elon, I want to be like Elon. Am I sleeping in the office? Am I sleeping for three hours?
Am I doing whatever it takes? He's put business first, doesn't care about anything else. He is locked in.
If I'm inspired and look up to someone like Elon who is stewarding all of his time to change the whole entire world and then he does it. and then i humbly right now in this moment i looked at myself and i said what do i want to steward i want to inspire the next generation of people but am i really doing that right now yes in ways but that's why i wanted to revamp this channel is to steward this knowledge and influence that i have to help people that were maybe just like me in ohio that is my goal especially for young men out there to become successful, to become healthy, to change their lives around, to create their dream life.
And so I, based off of this stewardship and this parable, often question myself, am I righteous enough and doing the right things enough to deserve the life that I want? Am I putting the work in? Am I using what God has given me for the world?
sometimes the answer was no and so that's why we're sitting here today so this is a great place to start rule number one this is solving a problem making money essentially boils down to solving a problem what was my first company Jake Paul landscaping Co $10 an hour what was the problem there's a bunch of landscapers what's going on the problem was is that these grown people with families and houses and mortgages are charging people in the neighborhood $40, $50, $60 an hour to cut their lawn.
And so I come in to me, $10, $15 an hour. That's plenty. I will work all day and night.
I'm solving their problem of high prices. So this little kid comes in and to me, this is amazing. I think I'm making a lot of money, undercut the market, solving the problem.
what problem can you solve for people you have to see where the world is going find the bottleneck find the problem find the bottleneck this week the stock market got hit hard google had the worst day in its history the nasdaq had its worst month in over a year everyone's asking is the ai boom over wrong question here's what's really happening for two years everybody piled onto the same trade the famous names the software the apps And now the whole world is finding out that AI doesn't run on hype.
It runs on things. Chips, power, metal, stuff you can't download. It's the gold rush.
But most of the people digging for gold went broke. The people who got rich sold the shovels. So don't ask what's hot.
Ask what does everything depend on that nobody's building. that's the bottleneck and whoever owns the bottleneck gets paid no matter who wins and this is why this week in anti -fund news we invested in american advanced materials which is solving a massive american problem better than anyone else this is a business lesson 101 that you guys can take whether you're already doing amazing things in business whether you're an investor investors should listen invest in the things that people need down the line we're moving away from the language learning models we had the cognitions we had the chat gpts the anthropic all of those investments great now where are things going physical that's our thesis antifun american manufacturing re -industrializing the world the chips the actual making of the metals the stuff that powers the entire world that's the hard stuff to do look at what andrew is doing building massive massive submarine factories that's extremely difficult and so everyone's afraid of you know wi -fi ai computers intelligence all over us but it's actually the physical world that's going to matter most right now so
whether you're a landscaper and you need to solve a problem or you want to start a landscaping company or you're one of the best founders in the world business 101 will tell you the same thing solve a problem american advanced materials is solving the titanium problem titanium it's in fighter jets jet engines missiles submarines satellites basically anything that flies before titanium becomes metal it has to be made into something called sponge and america the country with the most powerful air force on earth made zero titaniums sponge last year zero people our last big plant shut down in 2020 so last year we imported a record 44 000 tons of titanium sponge and most of the world's supply China and Russia think about that the metal for our fighter jets depend on the countries those jets are built to deter that's the epitome of a bottleneck so This week, Antifund invested in American Advanced Materials alongside of our friends Human Capital.
We love those guys at Human Capital. Shout out Armand. Their mission is simple at AAN.
Make titanium in America again. That's what a real problem. looks like nobody had to be convinced they need it they were just waiting for somebody to build it that's the kind of company i want to own or be a part of or invest in not because it's trendy it's because it's solving a problem and the whole country needs it but by the time that everyone hears about this company and wants to invest everyone will be like oh this is a great idea the money's already been made you got to get in early and honestly Companies like that are why I'm about to start something new.
A place where we take young founders with real ideas and build companies with them. Maybe some sort of incubator. More on that soon.
If that's you, start paying attention, people. The next thing we'll dive into is you need to make yourself worth 10 people. I told my whole team the next 12 months matter more than the last 29 years of my life.
The rate at which things are compounding and going exponential and how fast AI is moving. It's unprecedented the amount of progress and growth we can have. as a company, as a team in the next 12 months.
My ranch in Georgia runs on a dashboard that I made every project, every budget, every invoice on my phone. You may think it's crazy or you're just lazy, but you have to start setting your life up with AI assistance dashboards. There's basically ten of me out there scanning the whole entire world, knowing what's going on, reporting back to me, looking at messages, coming up with ideas, designing things.
and same with my team we have a full -on fleet an army i coded a whole entire dashboard it's connected to my training my caloric intake how much rest sleep all of these things that i'm doing are all vertically integrated now my ranch dashboard i built for my team in georgia a personal CRM to manage relationships and locations of where people are and it's tracking my calendar So if I'm in a certain area helps me hit these people up to maybe do a business dinner People that I haven't talked to that I need to stay in touch with These are the tools and things to make you more efficient and to basically scale yourself We are in a year and a day and age where there could be ten of you.
So don't be complaining about I don't have this. I don't have that.
I can't edit the video while I do this. You can automate all of your work. One -person companies are the future.
With that being said, it is the most exciting times in human history. If you put your arms out like this, and this is a whole timeline of human history, your fingernail is the AI boom, and more progress has been made in the length of your fingernail. than the entire rest of existence in humanity.
This is the craziest times. This is the scariest times. This is a lot of unknown shit is going to happen.
There's tons of fear mongering going on in the world. And I always go back to God and I always go back to humans figuring it out. I'm sure when the nuke was made, everyone was scared that we were all going to die.
I'm sure when people first saw a gun, they were like, what is that? We're all going to die. The world's going to end.
Humans have faced problems and wars and tragedy and sicknesses and disease and ups and downs for so long and we've always powered through and found a way. And so if you are a victim of the fear mongering going on, don't worry. Stay tried and true.
But there is evil at play and we do have to do our part. Which is why I want to look at France and look at AOC and look at Mamdani. These are also business lessons.
Every step of the way for these people in France, AOC and Mamdani, every step sounded generous. Retire at 60, 35 hour work week by law, tax the rich at 75 % and then the rich left. The tax raised almost nothing.
They scrapped it. France hasn't balanced a budget since 1974, 52 years straight of spending more than they make. And right now, France pays more to borrow money than Italy.
When the money runs out, the order goes with it. Riots, cars burning. Two weeks ago, someone sets fire to 140 year old town hall.
Now look at New York, rent freezes, government grocery stores, tax the rich. Mamdami promised his new tax on second homes would bring in 500 million dollars. His own city's comptroller says it'll come up way short.
Big promise, small check, and the people who pay it start packing. Sound familiar? Socialism doesn't show up in one vote.
It shows up one generous promise at a time, and 50 years later, your country is broke and your town hall is on fire. Your money works the same way. Protect it.
All right, let's get into the shit talk. Gavin Newsom hits me. Ortex dollars, hard at work.
Listen, buddy. 10 -8 round. You just got submitted.
Gavin. You have the highest income tax rate in the country and the hydrants still ran dry Talk to me about tax dollars when the water works Gavin and this guy's on TV like trying to act like Trump with his movements You're not Trump buddy Gavin do submit a deal to put the water to save some fish Instead of his own people and the homes of Los Angeles Gavin don't ever tweet me again You bitch do I swear to God these old people pissed me off and I guarantee you it wasn't even him tweeting It was probably someone on his team and that person is probably fired now Gavin couldn't run a fire hydrant.
Now he's trying to run the country. Oh Lord, if he runs for president. All right, to end this off, here's your homework.
One, write down three problems you could solve. That list is where your business is hiding. Two, find the bottleneck.
Something everybody needs that nobody around you is doing well. And three, build out your AI infrastructure connected to all of your stuff that you have going on and see where you're spending the most time. Ask yourself, what?
Did I wish there was something else that someone could do for me? And see if AI can build you a tool to do that. And starting next week, I'm answering your questions.
Drop them in the comments. And remember, there is no secret recipe for success. Stop being a bitch.
Go work hard. Fuck you. Get paid.
Don't be like this guy. Kalshi tweeted about our titanium investment and at Real Culture Gay said, The honor of calling Jake Paul a venture capitalist.
To be fair, Culture Gay, they said YouTuber and venture capitalist. People, you shouldn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks about you or what you're doing. Idiots like this will talk shit no matter what you do or how good you are performing.
This person is so dumb. IQ55 at max. Because...
People I have a venture capital fund that makes me a venture capitalist regardless This guy. Ah, let's just say natural selection. I'm gonna start using that term.
Don't go Jake Paul a bunch of cowboys culture gay buddy guy fun fact for you antifund started as a rolling fund on angel list if you know what that is guy and angel list did a scan of all of the funds on their platform to see who had the best irr dpi and markups across their portfolios and antifund was ranked number one on AngelList out of 900 rolling funds.
So yes, Culture Gay, I am a venture capitalist. Previously number one on AngelList before we had two more funds after that. So fuck you, Culture Gay.
Don't be Culture Gay. Natural selection, that guy.
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Jake Paul brings back the Jake Paul Biz channel and starts with the question he gets every day: how do I make more money? His answer is that a paycheck will not make you rich, owning things and getting there early will.
