Arthur & Sumit - "Wisdom begins when you listen beyond yourself" | Choosing Leadership Podcast

Arthur Gopak started as a shy 15-year-old interviewing the Prime Minister of Latvia. Today he runs AlphaGamma — a media company with 4.5 million readers — and is launching an investment fund in Luxembourg. In this conversation, Arthur shares what it actually took to get here: trusting his gut when everyone disagreed, learning to listen when the market pushed back, letting go of a business model he loved, and why SaaS is dying while finance is just getting started. This one is for anyone building something real. 🔗 Find Arthur:   / agopak   🔗 Find Sumit: 10GenPartners.com Chapter Timestamps: 00:00 – Why this podcast exists 00:54 – Meet Arthur Gopak 01:22 – From shy teen to journalist at 15 03:39 – Interviewing the Prime Minister 05:07 – What journalism actually taught him 08:37 – Why he chose business over writing 10:10 – Following your gut for the first time (age 13) 12:35 – AI is killing SaaS — here's what survives 16:23 – What remains when you strip away the brand? 19:31 – AlphaGamma's social mission 23:11 – The hardest year of his career
