In this episode, I’ve got one of my best friends, the entrepreneur blueprint, the serial success master and my favorite podcaster Sam Parr to come back on the show.

We talk about ambition, confidence, the reality of building a billion-dollar business and what it’s like to hang around with billionaires. Also we discuss his latest projects and how becoming a dad has reshaped his perspective on success.

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

  • Why the most successful people in the room aren’t always the smartest, 

  • What are the best and worse things about billionaires. 

  • How to set up a business in 24 hours and make 1 million dollars without a website.

 

Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

 

If you dug this episode, you can go back and check out one of our many other episodes with Sam on how content creators become successful. You can find that in episode 292 of this feed.
