From Adversity to Abundance A Country Boy’s Journey From Broke to Millions in Generational Wealth with Business Titan James Harold Webb
Being born to teenage parents and working for peanuts as an X-ray technician, James Webb never dreamed he’d one day be a business titan, investor, and philanthropist worth many millions of dollars.
(26:08) “There's a recording of me in high school, and if I hadn't heard of myself, I wouldn't believe it, but they're asking questions at my church about, what are you gonna do after graduate high school? And there's this little, tiny voice that says, ‘I'm gonna change the destiny of my family.’”
Tune in to unravel the tumultuous and incredible story of an underdog, who despite all odds, did indeed change the destiny of his family by starting with nothing and ending up with 33 gyms, 28 imaging centers, 1000 employees, and 10s of global business partners.
After breaking the cycle of generational poverty, he’s now set on creating generational wealth for his family that will outlive his grandchildren.
(51:26) “94% of all wealth is long lost by the third generation. That is caused by family disagreements, not by bad investments”
