Engineered Wealth Podcast

“People like to give without expecting anything in return. You can only do that if your cup is full. And so what I see a lot of people do is they'll try to give, but there's nothing filling their cup... And so you've got to make sure that you've got the ecosystem established that gives you that opportunity to be generous, because if you don't, then you're going to destroy everything that's around you. And it's just collateral damage. Not because you're a bad person.” - Jerome Myers

On this episode of The Engineering Passive Income Show, Joseph is joined by a special guest, Jerome Myers. He shares his story about leaving the W-2, discovering real estate, and the struggles of getting into the game and playing in it. Turns out, it’s not all unicorns and rainbows in this realm. Discover how he navigated the transitions exploring the matrix and the levels of it that lead to transcendence.

“The world should never be perfectly fair in outcome because everyone's gonna earn based on the effort they put in you've actually obviously busted your ass and built an incredible business as have I. Why should the guy laying on the couch eating Cheetos and get the same outcome? So the outcome isn't fair. But what is fair is the opportunity that the money will be consistent for every person on planet earth.” - Bobby Shell
