Due to My Role
Due To My Role is where PE Guy sits down with substantial founders, comedians, and the most interesting people on the internet to talk money, power, taste, and how it really all works behind the scenes. We get into how they made it, how they spend it, who they know, and where they actually hang when the cameras are off.
Expect conversations about real exits, private equity, absurd lifestyles, exclusive clubs, quiet flexes, catastrophic mistakes, and the decisions that separate operators from spectators. If you want polite success stories, this isn’t that. If you want the unfiltered version of money, influence, and identity — welcome to the table.
