How to Invest in People - Higher Average ROI Than The S&P 500 (HumanIPO) | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam and Shaan examine Human IPO, a platform where individuals can go public by selling shares of their time at set hourly rates. They debate whether the concept is innovative or simply rebranded expert networks, with Shaan intrigued by the idea of betting on people’s future value while Sam expresses skepticism about fulfillment and practical utility.

Key takeaways

• Human IPO lets people auction blocks of their time through tradeable shares, with buyers betting that the person’s value will increase and they can sell their shares at a profit later
• Shaan sees parallels to personal coins and notes that the most interesting version would involve sharing a piece of someone’s future earnings over time, similar to how founders raise capital
• Sam is skeptical about the business viability, pointing out that the concept closely resembles existing expert networks and consulting platforms, and questioning whether sellers will actually fulfill their hour commitments
