Dave you have been on a roll!! Keep rocking it!!
Love to see you grow and increased celebrity/people of importance interviews. Keep it up as I have become a long time fan.
He seemed embarrassed by the Biden joke…
Keep It up dave
Great interview. Thanks Dave and Jared !
Thanks Dave.
Dave’s show is more valuable than Bloomberg cnn and yahoo. Tbh even better than TED.
Nice interview hope you guys now know it cool to trade with a good trader
Hey Dave can you make a video about Chamaths recent comments?
Within 90 seconds I understand Shift4 ( never heard of them before ) But I have researched Palantir for over a year and I still don't have a clue what they do.
250 Million Wonderful Thank You Jared and Elon.
Incredible interview Dave! Watched the series on Netflix and I got to say, Jared, you're the man!
Inspiration🙏 Thank your Dave and Jared 🚀
I am so impressed with him. So straight forward and calm as a CEO and a person. Bought 10 leaps.
Great interview.
Why such boring cliché questions??? How you inspire your kids?? I sow him rolling his eyes.
You had chance to ask about space , avionics, spacex, and instead you ask how credit card payment process are used in restaurants
Thank you for another awesome interview Dave. Not to sound too cynical but I knew all along there was something more in this for Jared and his company He now gets an amazing hookup with Spacex and Elon as an added bonus.
Love yours guests lately, Dave! Always up for a great surprise
Shift4 payments or FOUR I’m pretty sure.
Great interview! your interviews with other people are the best
Drop-out or not it has no bearing on you becoming a billionaire, especially 2-3 decades ago.
Just like having a PhD has no bearing on you becoming a billionaire.
I was in the KSC watching the Inspiration 4 launch. It was an incredible sight. I encourage everyone to watch at least one launch in person. It's the most incredible thing I've experienced.
I like Jared clean hearted guy!!!!!hopefully we will see him on the moon one day.
Oh yeah, he's totally ramping up to put money on a Starship flight. What fundraising ability that would have! Will he be the second human rated flight purchaser?
One step closer to Elon 😉
Wow. Dave has been on fire with his guests as of late!
Always amazing interviews, and so much thanks to Jarrod for giving us some of his valuable time. KUDOS!
His initial co UBC was simply a reseller of payment processing services just like everyone else in the time frame of 1.0, where he used Paymentech as their actual settlement payment network. They sold inflated merchant contracts to small businesses and built a bloated portfolio of clients that paid them significant monthly residual revenue.
Another proof that Musk absolutely rewards people who he appreciates. It hit me when Jared said "We did not deserve the Starlink contract".
