My First Million: Chris Camillo on the AI Stock Bet Driving 70% of His Portfolio

Chris Camillo explains how observational investing led him to put as much as 70% of his portfolio into one stock. In this My First Million episode, hosts Shaan Puri and Saam Paar unpack how Chris built a $20,000 stake into roughly $80 million, why he ignores technicals and fundamentals, and how he spots trends early through consumer behavior, Reddit chatter, and social signals.
