What if your biggest advantage wasn’t a deal—but your mindset?

 

In this episode, I sit down with Laurent Soulé to explore how a deep commitment to learning can reshape the way we invest, grow, and lead. We go beyond real estate and business buying to talk about reading smarter, changing mental filters, and developing the kind of clarity that leads to better decisions. Laurent shares the books, podcasts, and mental models that helped him shift from operating to thinking like an owner.

 

We break down why sharpening your lens matters more than chasing shortcuts, how speed reading and strategic learning impact execution, and why removing yourself from daily operations is the first step toward a real exit plan. Laurent explains how education compounds, why 10x thinking often beats 2x effort, and why buying back your time is more than just a business tactic—it’s a life skill.

 

Tune in to learn how personal growth, deep reading, and intentional mindset shifts can shape your success far beyond the next business deal.
