About this episode

FiveTaco is the easiest way to find software for solopreneurs, from productivity tools, to the latest AI tech to help run your business.

In this week's episode, I sit down with Bill Perkins, a successful hedge fund manager, film producer, author, and high-stakes poker player. Bill has created significant wealth through energy trading and uses his money wisely. 

Bill is all about finding values in meaningful experiences over material possessions. He also discusses his philosophy on balancing wealth, health, and time to achieve maximum life fulfillment. This episode is packed with practical advice and thought-provoking concepts that can inspire anyone to rethink their approach to wealth and happiness.

 

In this episode, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • How to leverage opportunities in your field of work and make millions.

  • How to avoid a cookie cutter life.

  • Why you shouldn’t wait until your retirement to experience your dreams.

 

All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
