  • Ep. 141 | Why betting on YOURSELF first will change your life

    Would you rather have a stock of Amazon ($3000+) or a DSLR Camera ($900)?


    In late 2018, I was thinking of either buying Amazon stock for around $1000/share or a new camera.

    Obviously, a camera is a depreciating asset. Amazon? Not so much.

    But the decision was deeper than a stock vs a camera.

    It was betting on myself vs anyone else.

    If I was willing to invest $1000 into Amazon, Tesla, Apple, or any other stock, and not myself, what was that saying about the belief I had in me?

    I started to switch my mindset and invested every dollar from that day forward into myself and my company before investing in anyone else.

    As a result instead of turning $1000 to $3000, that $900 investment helped me generate 6-figures worth of new business from a simple camera.

    So now, is that camera still a depreciating asset? Or a gold mind?😉

    Bet on yourself first. If you don't, who else will?

    Hope you enjoy the episode!

  • Ep. 140 | Why the education system creates workers, NOT thinkers

    High end public speakers get paid $100k+/hour for their time. Why? Because people actually learn something from them. That compared to the education system where teachers read out of a textbook and teach from a powerpoint made 10 years ago making $40k/year. See the difference?

    "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers" - John D. Rockefeller 1903

    The education system is old, slow, and broken. This was a quote by John D. Rockefeller, the man who funded a lot of today's education system. No wonder why those thinkers are the ones that get paid now. The ones that actually teach and push against traditional ways of society.
