YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn today's episode of the PoliticsJOE Podcast, Ava and Seán are joined by filmmaker, author, and professional scammer Oobah Butler, whose new Channel 4 documentary How I Made a Million in 90 Days takes aim at the world of “get rich quick” culture and the absurdity of modern capitalism.
From The Shed at Dulwich to swindling Wall Street, Oobah has built a career on exposing rigged systems. This time, the con gets personal. As he attempts to make a million in just three months, he finds himself navigating a bizarre ecosystem of meme coins, millionaire “manifesters,” and self-proclaimed gurus selling success to the desperate.
He tells Ava and Seán how he faked his way into the finance world, tried to launch a legal sweatshop in the UK, and thought about auctioning off 10% of his future earnings. The big question: Can you get rich and stay moral?
The conversation dives into the psychology of wealth, the performance of entrepreneurship, and the strange new religion of hustle culture. The trio discuss how the illusion of success fuels exploitation, what happens when money becomes the only measure of value, and how the ultra-rich play by different rules.
