In this episode of Beyond The Wealth, I sit down with Kian Sadeghi, the founder of Nucleus Genomics, a trailblazing startup revolutionizing genetic testing and personalized health. Kian dropped out of UPenn, lied to his immigrant parents to build his company, and turned a deeply personal family tragedy into a billion-dollar vision. Investors like Founders Fund and Alexis Ohanian backed him early — not because of his resume, but because of his relentless founder energy.

We break down:

- How Kian raised millions without a degree or formal science background

- What makes Nucleus “the most advanced DNA health test ever created”

- Why he believes this is the single greatest time in history to start a company

- How he used rejection, curiosity, and pressure to build a rocket ship

This conversation is a masterclass in founder grit, long-term thinking, and turning pain into purpose. If you're building something big or want a peek into the future of genomics, AI in healthcare, and founder-driven startups, don’t miss this.
