In this gripping Part 2 episode, Chris Do goes deep with Simon Squibb on the business model that powers his viral mission of giving away money to strangers. But this isn’t charity—it’s strategy. Simon unpacks how he built a profitable, self-sustaining content engine that funds dreams, spreads hope, and disrupts the traditional education system.

From revenue breakdowns across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and brand deals to his "infinite giving" philosophy, Simon shows that you can do good and make money—at scale. This episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and a behind-the-scenes look at how generosity can become a business advantage.
