Show notes
On the show, guest Brandon Turner from BiggerPockets and I dive into many topics that go beyond the subject of real estate and personal finance, from which he has become famous. Brandon is an accomplished business man and media personality and brings a wealth of knowledge learned as entrepreneur, podcast host, webinar host, employee, business owner and investor that we're excited to share with you. We cover items like our entrepreneurial partnership and entrepreneurship in general, the power of saying no to get to yes, goal setting, risk tolerance, online privacy, how to live a worry-free life, trusting people, kindness, giving and gifting, the power of experiences, productivity, intentionality, fatherhood and much more.
