185: From Coal Country to Bentleys with Garrett Gunderson


Listen Later

The shift from scarcity to abundance can happen with a single investment.

Today’s guest is New York Times bestselling author Garrett Gunderson, the author of “Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity,” and “What Would the Rockefellers Do?: How the Wealthy Get and Stay That Way ... and How You Can Too.” He’s also the founder of Wealth Factory.

Garret Gunderson came from a blue-collar background in the coalmining country of central Utah.

His family came from an attitude of scarcity, but he made the mind shift to abundance instead. With $5,000 he won from a young entrepreneur challenge, he decided to break from his family’s hoarding nature and invest it instead while he was at college.
