Super encouraging to hear that this hyper successful guy didn't HAVE his first million until his 40's.

I expected something useful in the "Where’s the opportunity" section... :( How on Earth can a young person approach a wealthy individual and say: "I will manage your money and I known what I am doing because I use AI. And I will take care of taxes for you. And any other money needs. Trust me bro!" I am 32 and people barely trust me in therapy, not in something they have had success in (like in managing and making money). So who is out of touch? Me or these guys for not calling out this BS?

He was saying…”I wasn’t enough”. Then the subject was switched on him… lots of wisdom to be heard

It’s always amazing to listen to Graham. Humble, transparent, smart and great leader. Lots of things to learn from him. No doubt. Thanks for having him in the pod.
