In this episode of Superhuman AI: Decoding the Future, Zain and Hassan explore practical strategies for increasing your income through the use of leverage. They introduce five key types of leverage—knowledge, labor, capital, technology, and media/distribution—offering a roadmap for turning skills into higher earnings.
They share their personal experiences to illustrate these principles: Hassan recounts his journey from working at a startup to joining a founding team, and Zain discusses how he leveraged knowledge and labor to launch his own successful social media consultancy and create the Superhuman AI newsletter. Through consistency and hard work, they demonstrate how small, incremental efforts compound into meaningful career and income growth over time.
Zain and Hassan also underscore the value of building a public presence and network to unlock higher opportunities and income potential. They caution that this approach is not a get-rich-quick scheme but a systematic and sustainable strategy for achieving long-term financial success.
Packed with actionable insights to enthuse the budding entrepreneurs of 2025, this episode offers a practical guide to using leverage and continuous learning to create meaningful career and income growth.
