I got access into the top 0.1% of the world, and it opened my eyes. Davos is like looking behind the curtain of power—you’re walking around, running into billionaires and famous people everywhere. Turns out, everyone’s just figuring things out as they go—even the people who control the economy. Being around billionaires and leaders showed me the real way things work. And to bring the same experience to you, I wore my Meta glasses and recorded the hidden side of it all. To give you the same experience I had.

And so in this video, I share what I saw at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. I also give you my top 5 insights from this life-changing experience. From the heavy security and houses set up for countries and companies, to how deals get made and friendships form—this video shows you what happens when the world’s most powerful people meet, and how they run the world.

### Intro []

okay so most of my life I've hung out on the internet I was doing some math right I got an internet connection or dialup connection maybe when I was seven or 8 years old I've sat on MSN forums I've sat on Discord I've sat on X I've been on Reddit and it's just been a very long time but in the last one or two years something's changed because of the scale of that Avatar that we have which is this thing which we didn't expect to get so big but because of the scale of that and because our business has been getting bigger too I've been getting access to the top 0. 1% of the world which is phenomenal because now I can kind of see reality for what it is everyone is making it up as they go along even people who run the economy basically actually you can't predict the future but if you just say bro I don't know there are too many variables I can't make decisions and if I do this what will people say if it fails you can't really take decisions like that so a lot of these people they disagree with others sometimes but they still keep going on with their beliefs and they try to change the world by their actions not by waiting for other people to change the world everyone is sort of playing their role the most appropriate way to say this is that the world is a stage and everyone's kind of an actor everyone plays their role or fits into an unplayed role more than money which actually doesn't matter so much on the stage it is influence that matters influence over certain sectors of society over certain Fields over certain people the truth is every actor on the stage has an audience and combined the audiences everyone in the world all actors have their fans and haters once these actors s have influence they will make money and the thing I didn't realize is that most of the actors on stage know each other it's actually a small world on stage so the world economic Forum in Davos in Switzerland is like being backstage it's like peering behind the stage curtain and seeing what's really going on it's like walking on the street and being able to randomly walk into billionaires and celebrities and I was there and like a little spy with my meta aand glasses to show you what backstage really looks like cuz see as a content creator I'm really weird I can walk among the people backstage but I'm also more comfortable and I feel so much more at home with all of you all so like Deadpool this video is me breaking the fourth wall and showing you what actually happens and my learnings at the world economic Forum I'm breaking this video into five major learnings so here

### First learning [2:21]

goes so I was invited by the YouTube team and I landed in Zurich and I was taken by a car to Davos now Davos has really tied security because of protesters when protesters realize that the world's most influential people are gathered together they try to protest and get their causes out there I think this could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it sometimes the world's most influential are blind to certain topics and protests are a good way to get in front of them but they can also be severely disruptive if the things being protested are trivial anyway I had to wait one extra hour in the capab thanks to some protests going on also I forgot to mention it was really cold there was minus something and it was snowing I know this is not a related topic but I really like that weather but of course parts of my hands and face kept freezing so I was staying at the Google Alpine in like I told you YouTube had invited me and every major company and nation in the world has their own house that's right daos is full of houses Salesforce has their own house so does Intel and Qualcomm and India and even Africa during the day you can enter any house the houses also many of times have lodging so the house delegates don't have to find some other place to stay all the houses are designed very differently representing their brand colors and Vibe my favorite house was actually by palent there was these really cool LED strips which I'm definitely going to rip off that style I'm going to put some of those in our office then we went to get our badges I got a media badge which has decent levels of access across Davos you need to swipe your badge to get in any place there are checkpoints all over now I spoke on a bunch of panels about AI plus content which we're pretty good at this point at some of the houses that invited me but I didn't record any of it because the audience of the panels would see the white lights on the metari band so I really record uh we do over 400 million views a month across all our channels now many of them you don't even know about and over time we'll start learning which are the channels that we run and you'll come across them right but mainly my biggest learning at Davos especially with this is that this is some kind of big Fest where every faction or team has a house countries and big companies are kind of seen the same way and each house has Representatives it's like Harry Potter houses kind of

### Second learning [4:27]

right the second learning is that a lot of big deals actually got done in Davos a Big Brand Clos and advertising deal with me there and the numbers are generally bigger I think everyone goes to daos in this Vibe of oh I'm here to close big deals or something like that right because you know other people are doing it you kind of get into a mood of also doing it I don't know it was kind of strange like India the country yes closed a lot of deals but they could have also closed those deals in India but believe it or not it's actually kind of convenient in Davos because the media is right outside the door you can walk to influential media people and say hey me and this person are closing this deal please go report on it and they report on it in India if you're sitting here you have to go through traditional channels people are busy you have to really think about the news cycle but there the media representatives are right outside I mean like I told you it's backstage people already know they're going to close a deal it's not like the deal happened there decision- making happened there the closing the signing happened there no decisions are really made in Davos that is pred decided but the final sign is sometimes done there and reported there

### Third learning [5:29]

okay my third learning is that the parties suck at least the ones I went to when there's so much media nobody does anything I saw Mark Benny off the founder of Salesforce and he was just sitting in a place called Go's house with a bunch of people because see they also can't do stupid stuff because if you do stupid stuff the media will report on it nobody really does anything or maybe I just didn't find any insane stuff going on because I wasn't invited to any of those parties but I found it very boring just sitting and eating I mean especially the parts after the sessions right the nights and because you don't know the others it's basically like you're talking about basic stuff like what's the weather in your home place or something boring like that

### Integration [6:06]

before we move on to the next part I want to share something that could help if you're hunting for a job as a fresher the demand for video editors is real and finding a good one is hard we have been fortunate in this case as we hire directly from A's video editing cohort almost all of the editors on my content team are from their cohort so if you are looking to break into video editing and work with creators like me check out their free editing master class and get a glimpse of their month intensive editing cohort that can help you land a job their recruitment network is 750 plus company strong so your odds of getting hired are high if you work hard the link is in the description now back to the

### Fourth learning [6:41]

video my next learning from Davos was about messaging four to 5 years ago and most of you don't know this I had this channel called Varun Maya level 2 i' made lots of very educational content on it we deep died into things like Unreal Engine right we did tutorials on it we did oops in Unreal Engine for example but notice how in the Unreal Engine series the first video has several thousand views but towards the end it has like 8090 views that's because everyone says they like super technical stuff but they don't the masses really get bored of it in the last year or so I stopped going too deep if you've noticed my content especially from a teaching front I've invested in companies that do it instead but me personally no the reason for this and what I learned at Davos again is that when you're on a stage and you have a large audience not everyone can understand everything when you're young you want validation from your PE so you get very technical about things but in places like Davos people speak more about broad goals like that event place I told you about the gos house in Go's house there are these banners that talk about un goals they are banners talking about broad goals right like no poverty zero hunger clean water sustainable cities these are very broad they aren't technical deep Dives right like in the zero hunger goal nobody's talking about hey use this very specific fertilizer to make crop growth better no they're talking about broad goals this is because people take back and remember only broad goals not the names of fertilizers the minute you get into specific fertilizers you get the equivalent of 80 to 90 views on my Unreal Engine content right low mental retention it's the same with my short form content I have so little time so we are being a little bit generic there it's what the mes want and if you don't get it that's actually you not understanding the world well and gos house is a good representation of it right go for the broader stuff don't get too deep dive unless you're making like a really long form video sometimes I get called out and cancel it for it saying oh you're not being technical anymore or whatever but that's okay it's the gos house phenomena it's important for you to learn also when you are communicating it's important to communicate the broad goals you want to achieve rather than specific advances unless someone is asking for specific advancements like if I was investing in your company I'd ask for specific things right how does this exactly work show me but otherwise for most busy people you're a turn off especially for the first conversation you get 80 to 90

### Fifth learning [8:52]

views my last learning about Davos is about people I learned that the most successful people in the world aren't necessarily the smartest they're not even the most hardworking they're actually just very good at taking risk and building relationships it's more courage than skill Jeff Bezos has that thing right there isn't a shortage of supply of Genius but there's definitely Courage so first before we get into courage let's talk about their distribution all the people in Davos have offline distribution in their phones they know maybe 50,000 people who can help them with anything they want they know a guy who knows a guy most of you have 10 to 20 people in your life who can help you with things your friends in the last year what I saw happen to me was my own Rolodex the contact called a Rolodex has gotten very large this is Now offline distribution I have some online distribution but also I've built up offline distribution some of the people at Davos can just call Prime Ministers and presidents of countries they very well networked and have built strong relationships most of you what I've noticed at least on the internet fail at relationships young people are more likely to dunk on someone they don't know on social media for the attention of other young people in faceless accounts but the minute you say go out and meet people they don't do that because that requires work that requires energy that requires you having to maintain a conversation with your real face and your real voice in Davos I saw a lot of meetings happen that were just relationship building No Agenda just I want to get to know this person and maybe there's an opportunity 5 years later They're all playing the long game I'll give you an example one of my subsidiary companies AOS Labs so AOS is the company I run but there's a subsidiary we have called Labs that's done an AI project with Honeywell we've actually done something with the Bangalore City police with Honeywell so we're interfacing with Honeywell SAS platform with a voice too AI solution to help automate some of these calls that the police gets anyway so what I did is I went there and met the CEO of Honeywell IIA where we spoke for a bit about the project just building a relationship right now the project's already in the PO stage so it's like Canal's involvement is going to end now but over the next let's say 2 years or 3 years I'm sure we'll do something else with them so that relationship matters the other part is about risks you can take risks when you have a lot of information and a lot of Davos is about information I know what new AI models and AI tools around the corner I know which ones are doing well and which ones are about to close large funding rounds I know which ones are doing badly because I hear it in the offline world right the companies investors I'll speak to it's just access to know what is working and what's not really working so I know the companies where they've closed the last funding ground but will be announced 6 months later it's so valuable to have this information before anybody else because we build on top of models right so it's so important to know what's working what can we catch 6 months later 8 months later as the underlying model gets better what we did with Avatar in some senses right so I keep sharing all of this on my YouTube so definitely do subscribe this is the same as when I entered Google deep Min getting access to information which is not out on the internet lowers your risk profile when trying new things so the parent company AOS literally our only job is to build distribution and keep trying experiments right and then we pass it on to a subsidiary as it gets big enough so all of this is very useful for us because it lowers my risk profile of trying new things well that's it I like Davos from the world economic Forum it's not some Illuminati something going on where some crazy parties and you know people controlling everything it's not really that I thought it was fun I learned a lot seeing behind the curtain seeing backstage I think was really cool and I'll keep sharing more of these insights with you anyway until next time bye
