Investments Take Time

Listen Later

In this reflective milestone episode, DrEG3 celebrates crossing 500 podcast downloads and uses that moment to explore a deeper truth: anything worth having takes time to build. Whether it’s your career, your relationships, your parenting, or your voice — each is a long-term investment. With humor, honesty, and heart, DrEG3 reminds us that compound growth isn’t just financial — it’s emotional, spiritual, and personal. And while we can’t control the exact outcome, we can influence the return by the quality and consistency of our investments.

What You'll Hear:
  • Hitting 500 downloads is a small win — and a big symbol of consistency.
  • Financial investments teach us to expect long timelines, but we often forget that lesson in other areas of life.
  • Career growth and skill mastery require time, mistakes, and repeated effort.
  • Marriage is an evolving relationship that demands ongoing investment and “tinkering.”
  • Parenting is a generational investment in the future of society, not a short-term outcome.
  • Not all investments yield the same return — be intentional with where and how you invest.
  • You don’t always see the ROI immediately, but the seeds you plant today still grow.
    • Favorite Line

    “The return is not your responsibility. The investment is.”

    Reflection Question

    Where in your life have you stopped investing simply because you haven’t seen a return yet?

    Final Thought

    Keep planting. Keep pouring. Keep showing up — even when the results aren’t visible.
    Because the things that matter most grow slow… but they grow deep.
    And where and how you invest… influences the harvest.

    And as always, I love you much!
