How to Build Wealth Before Everything Changes: AI, Crypto & The New Economy – Alex Howell (@some_ai_guy)

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Alex Howell (Sophia Kirgiopoulos husband) to dive into one of the most important conversations of our time: money, technology, AI and where the world is heading.The global economy is shifting, and many are asking: What does the future actually look like?We explore everything from bitcoin, crypto, gold and investing to the rise of AI and how it’s already transforming the way we work, earn and live.Will AI take over our jobs? Is it too late to invest in crypto? And how do we build wealth in a world that feels increasingly unstable?We talk about how cryptocurrency is disrupting traditional financial systems and opening up new opportunities for people who previously didn’t have access to wealth-building tools.We also break down: what a portfolio actually is and how to get started as a beginner.At the same time, we zoom out and look at the bigger picture - global shifts, media narratives, and how to stay grounded and present in a rapidly changing world.This is a conversation about awareness without fear, opportunity within uncertainty, and how to position yourself for the years ahead.
