In the face of economic uncertainty, real estate mogul and entrepreneur Dean Graziosi reveals how internal work trumps external tactics when building a future of wealth. Having navigated multiple economic downturns over his 40-year business career, Dean shares a surprising truth – most Fortune 500 companies were started during a recession when others sat paralyzed by fear. Through raw stories of his challenging childhood with an abusive father and his journey to financial freedom, Dean explains why money is like oxygen: when you lack it, it consumes your thoughts. But once you secure it, you must face the deeper work of healing. His vulnerable admission that he initially thought his pain was the source of his drive offers a powerful lesson for anyone using past trauma as fuel for success.
