TL;DR

Want to understand business better?

Listen to these pods above.

Remember action > listening.

But sometimes a break is nice and these pods do the trick.

I send my community 2-3 threads a week similar to these.

Come along for the ride.

The 16 biggest lies you’ve been told about money.
1/ Buy a home. Don't rent.

This is a lie peddled by the people incentivized by your home purchase.

A owner-occupied home is not an investment. Period.

If you have $60k for a downpayment & you invest it and let it compound for 30 years, it will be worth more than the house.
2/ Buy in Cash

If you can borrow money at 3% and invest money at 8%, DO NOT SPEND THE CASH.

Invest the cash. Borrow the money.

Thousands of businesses to look through so let's filter for service businesses.

The Jordan brand does $4.7B in revenue per year.

But did you know the sneaker empire was entirely built off of a lie?

Here's the crazy story
1/ In the 1984 NBA Draft, Michael Jordan was the #2 selection of the Chicago Bulls.

He had just won the award for being the National Player of the Year in his final year at the University of North Carolina.
2/ After the draft it was time to sign a shoe contract.

Jordan wanted to sign with Adidas. He loved the 3 stripes and how influential they were in the culture.

But Adidas wasn't really looking at MJ.

So he had 2 choices. Converse or Nike.
