Patrick Bet-David plays a clip of Dave Ramsey explaining the findings of what he calls the largest-ever millionaire study: engineers top the list, accountants are second, teachers are third — a result the panel finds remarkable given teaching salaries.

Patrick draws on his own experience as a licensed financial advisor (Series 7, 66, and 31 licenses) to say doctors were among the worst-off clients he ever encountered financially, partly because people assume they already know how to manage money. Elon Lekakou recalls that his own mother was a teacher for 40 years and is not independently wealthy, suggesting the teacher result hinges on pension benefits, summer side hustles, and frugal living habits. Jeff Snyder crystallizes the lesson: the defining trait of wealth accumulation is avoiding the 'big down year,' which requires the analytical patience associated with engineering and accounting personalities. Tom Ellsworth adds that 72% of professional fund managers can't beat passive index funds like QQQ or SPY over five years, reinforcing the 'slow and steady' thesis.
Dave Ramsey's survey of over 10,000 millionaires found that engineers top the list, followed by accountants and teachers. Doctors didn't crack the top five. The panel digs into why: it's not income, it's analytical discipline and the avoidance of lifestyle inflation that builds wealth.
Bhanu grew SiteGPT to $13,000 monthly recurring revenue entirely through organic channels, spending nothing on paid marketing.
More than 1 million people have visited SiteGPT's website since launch in March 2023, all through organic channels.
Approximately 90% of SiteGPT's Google search traffic comes from the free tools Bhanu built, not the main product pages.
Bhanu sold his first SaaS product, Feather, for $250,000 so he could focus fully on the faster-growing SiteGPT.
SiteGPT has generated approximately $500,000 in total revenue since its launch in March 2023.
The average customer lifetime value for SiteGPT is approximately $1,700 to $1,800, which Bhanu considers unusually high.
SiteGPT receives around 50,000 visitors per month, of which about 200 convert to leads and 60 start free trials.
SiteGPT hit $10,000 MRR within its very first month of launch, driven largely by early traction in the AI chatbot space.
Despite strong download numbers, PropGPT could not push past $1,000–$2,000 MRR due to poor product retention.
