Brad Minkow: Defining Success by the Impact You Make, Not the Income You Earn


Listen Later

In this episode, Rich and Brad discuss: 

  • The key learnings Brad had from his grandfather
  • Brad’s view of success and impact
  • Brad’s relationship with his parents
  • How vulnerability can be a strength and a leadership attribute
  • The downside of trying to be everything to everybody

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Money and wealth don't always equal success. Sometimes it's about fostering relationships, raising a family properly, and ensuring you are available in all aspects to those who need you.
  • The definition of impact and success is the extent to which you can impact society and attempt to reach out to as many people as possible deeply and for the right reasons.
  • It is true that no parents are perfect, and that time can heal all wounds. Despite not having a great marriage, two people can still be friends and have a great time co-parenting and grandparenting.
  • Give yourself permission to be vulnerable and honest. Vulnerability is not a weakness; letting people know that you have failed, that you have been hurt, and that you probably hurt others can be a powerful way to build deep relationships.
  • Providing for others or being available for them is okay, but learn to save for yourself and for the people who matter most to you. The person you live with should receive the most of your attention.
