Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Wes Smith — the 29-year-old entrepreneur and investor who went from living in his car to rubbing elbows with princes, billionaires, and diplomats.
Wes breaks down how he built a portfolio across Colored Diamonds, life insurance, AI, venture capital, and ultra-high-end asset sales — and why the secret to all of it is simple: the more hands you shake, the more money you make.
From legally eliminating your tax bill to investing in things Wall Street will never offer you, Wes shows why the wealthy play a completely different game — and how regular people can start accessing it with as little as $10K.
If you've got a high-value asset to move or just looking for a smarter place to put your money, this one's for you.
