In today’s episode, I sit down with Maru Kaneko, founder and CEO of VAULTÉ, a platform bringing tokenized luxury assets to the blockchain. We talk about how tokenization opens access to diamonds, jewelry, and other high-end assets that were once limited to insiders, and why major institutions are moving in this direction. Maru shares lessons from building multimillion-dollar companies at a young age, including how delegating the right tasks fuels scale. He also opens up about losing a hedge fund, paying heavy “dummy tax,” and rebuilding stronger. It’s a candid conversation about risk, resilience, timing, and believing in your vision when others don’t.
