No way they just started the pod without a 10 hour intro. I'm already excited. Off on right foot!

I was stuck for years chasing the next big thing, it wasnt until a close friend told me about Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller that i realized i was just a cog in a machine i didnt even understand. shifting my focus to systems has made me feel so much more deliberate and calm. it is not about the 9-to-5 grind or waiting for luck, it is about structure and discipline that works quietly in the background while you actually live your life.

I’ve learned more about history from MFM than from a degree in history

What surprises me the most is they always ask their guest about their finances, company sale price, personal net worth etc but they never share theirs 😅🤔
