About Rodric In Million Dollar Flip Flops, I share insights from 2 decades of in the trenches trial and error building multiple 7 figure businesses, while at the same time leading a life worth living. A lifelong entrepreneur, at 25 I was making more in a month than my parents had made in a year. I could buy and do anything I wanted.Yet... I was depressed, at times had suicidal thoughts, and awoke every morning with a sinking "is this all there is" feeling. Digging myself out of that hole, I developed systems and strategies that allowed me to live a life I couldn't have imagined. This simple process has been the filter through which I have run every decision in my life - business or otherwise - and the results have been extraordinary.
