Gstaad Guy is a creator I’ve followed for a few years, the anonymous creator who lifts the lid on the 0.01%.

I was absolutely fascinated to have him in the studio to find out more… We cover: The madness of Gstaad, the secret billionaire hide out in Switzerland The inspiration behind the character of Constantine Why we’re obsessed with wealth The issues wealthy parents instil in their kids How we find happiness and dealing with failure How he ended up working with luxury brands like Loro Piana and Audemars Piguet This conversation really opened my eyes to how some people live, but how ultimately, regardless of money, we’re all find happiness in connection with others.
