The "What is Money?" Show
The Greatest Generation of Problem Solvers
"We did all the work. And, you know, I didn't have any money," he said. "Those guys, that generation, they are extremely entrepreneurial and they had a lot of ingenuity" He was telling me what to do. Do this. You know, let's focus here, let's work on this. This is our job for today."
Entrepreneur Richard Hurd joins me for an in-depth conversation about his life's story. We discuss successes, mistakes, and hurdles that propelled him and his real estate business to the highest levels of success.
