I was at an event with a millionaire who casually mentioned how he hadn’t earned a paycheck in over a decade. I couldn’t wrap my head around it until later when he recommended Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller... That book explained exactly how people like him live off systems, not salaries. I stopped obsessing over income and started focusing on assets. Now my whole mindset is different, and Im slowly starting to turn my life around.

I want to work for Joe. I wish my manager were half as savvy and direct as he is. He’s exactly who should be shaping education.

Great pod. Impressed with Alpha school! When are they making the adult version? For AI learning and/or career pivots to entrepreneurship. I think it would do extraordinarily well. Selfishly, I’d like to sign up
