Bob Iger's last dance might be to sell Disney to Apple.

Apple is worth $2.4 Trillion

13x Disney's $180 Billion

Together they’d be an UNBEATABLE ecosystem with a 1/5th of earth’s population as customers.

Both companies are equal parts creative and dominant in their respective industries.

Qatar spent $220 BILLION on the 2022 World Cup.

Their GDP is just $180B.

Is this investment a money pit?

Or a catalyst for a nation to thrive?

You decide, but let's dig into the numbers: First off, this number is just mind-boggling in context of any other World Cup, ever.

It's 15x more expensive than the next costliest WC.

Don't give your kids an allowance.

Pay them interest instead.

I made a system that naturally instills the power of compounding and makes them understand money.

Here's how it works, my downloadable worksheet, and the results: At a very young age, I explained to each of my kids the concept of saving money.

However, I told them saving is not the main goal.

Making sure money works for you while you sleep is the most important component.

They were fascinated by money working during sleep.

I've generated over $1 billion in sales using ONE strategy.

Used it in every recession - 2000, 2009, and 2020.

MrBeast has 200M+ subscribers and will be the world's first Billionaire YouTuber.

Across his 18 channels, he controls a billion eyeballs each quarter.

But how he is going to turn views into a billion dollar empire?

Let me tell you... I understand this playbook because at 25, I built a music network that reached 500M ppl/mo.

This was 10% luck, 90% mindset.

Over 20 years, I've learned how to constantly maintain a winner's mindset.

Thread. A note -

Thoughts shape actions.
Actions shape character.
Character shapes reality.

To have a winning reality, you need a winning mindset.

The 2008 crash gave me a golden insight that I kept to myself.

I was the only employee.

At one point, I was Google’s 2nd largest advertiser after eBay.

Here’s the story of how it happened, what the business did, and how much $ it made. A few years ago a stack of envelopes w/checks arrived on my bday. They were class action settlement checks. They were remnants of my first big hustle.

The business was performance marketing. I used paid search to execute it. That combo just crushed it.
