Tweetable Quotes

“So many people are held hostage through this idea that there is some specialized knowledge beyond the very basics that can give you an edge when it comes to investing. The paradox is the less time you spend working on your portfolio, the better. The more time you spend working on yourself, the better.”(02:37)

“So this podcast is a way for me to highlight people that I think are doing great work, to interview them, to ask them questions, and to maybe hone some of those questions and answers into specific things that people can do to improve their own lives.”(05:07)

“I was raised in a world where we didn’t have, but we believed. My parents didn’t have wealth. We didn’t have a lot of stuff. I didn’t have a lot of choices. But they told me that I could succeed. They instilled in me the belief in myself of making a difference in my own life.”(07:31)

“One of the things that I haven’t done a lot with clients who already are successful, but one of the things I want to do more of is help people build the original income that can lead to the savings that can lead to the investing that can lead to the wealth.”(10:25)

“The conversation with Gary around ‘Enough’ is incredibly powerful. For him, it’s not about money; it’s about time. He wants time with his son. He wants time doing what he loves. And I know he has that time. He’s not wealthy, but he is happy because of that idea of ‘enough’ and how he defines that ‘enough.’ And he’s going to be fine financially as well.”(19:31)

“We are all free. We have our choices in front of us. We have a responsibility to make those choices, to seek our best selves, to live our best lives.”(21:46)
