From Speech Therapy to 150K Subscribers

In a recent interview with Harinder Mullay, Lewis Jackson shared the story of how a simple YouTube upload for friends turned into a business, why he left a “safe” career in speech therapy, and why he believes time — not money — is the ultimate asset.

An Authentic Start

Lewis never set out to build a YouTube business. He had already tried 10–12 channels before without much success. The channel that grew came from a different place — authenticity.

He began posting videos simply to save time answering friends’ questions about crypto. What started as a time-saving hack snowballed into a platform that now reaches more than 150,000 subscribers.

The Tipping Point

At the time, Lewis was working in speech therapy. Every morning, putting on the staff lanyard felt like giving up on his own potential. The turning point came when he signed a brand deal during a lunch break — one deal worth more than an entire year’s wage.

That was the moment he knew he couldn’t go back to “safe.”

Don’t Marry the Coin

In the interview, Lewis explained why investors shouldn’t get emotionally attached to their favorite assets. Whether it’s XRP, Bitcoin, or anything else, the goal isn’t to hold forever — it’s to extract value and use it to build the life you want.

This clarity-first mindset sets his approach apart from the hype-driven narratives common in the crypto space.

Time Is the Most Valuable Asset

Lewis also spoke about Memento Mori — the awareness of death. Far from being morbid, it motivates him to treat time as the ultimate asset. Money can be replaced; time cannot.

This perspective underpins both his personal investing and the way he teaches others to plan their exits.

Becoming Dangerously Capable

The conversation closed with Lewis’ broader philosophy: becoming “dangerously capable.” For him, this means mastering skills quickly, aiming for the top 1% in whatever matters most, and being the person people can count on in any situation.

It’s the same principle he now builds into his next phase of work — helping people compound capability, not just wealth.
