Learn Speak Teach #35 w/ Erik Cabral Watch the full episode: youtu.be/kQFZvheVpRA - The pursuit of success can feel like mental slavery to the point where most people feel they have no choice but to conform and follow a certain lifestyle. We've become conditioned to believe that to be successful, we must sacrifice our time, energy, health, or even happiness. In reality, there are many ways we can gain success without giving up our personal genius. Join this conversation with Erik Cabral. Erik left corporate America after 20+ years. He jumped head first into real estate investing to achieve financial freedom. Educating himself, building networks, and analyzing hundreds of deals, he purchased his first multi-family building in less than one year. Now, Erik is also the founder of the fast-growing multi-media agency On Air Brands, host of The Entrepreneurs Circle Podcast, and a partner at the Renault Winery & Resort, which is the 2nd oldest winery in the US. In addition, Erik offers private capital to his network of investors for various projects and looks for opportunities to expand and grow his network in the real estate investing, podcasting, and entrepreneurial space.

Time is currency to me. ~ The first twenty minutes of your day when you wake up are very critical. You will live the rest of the day with what you chose to pour into your mental factory (at the start of the day). ~ People's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death! That means that, if you're ever at a funeral, you'd rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy. ~ It’s okay to know a lot about everything, but I’m a big proponent about knowing a lot about one thing.
