Quotes:

“With the money game-changing right now, I believe there's going to be the largest transfer of wealth we've ever seen. Ever.”

“I don't have a money problem. I have a creativity problem. I have a problem thinking so traditionally that I couldn't get out of my own way.”

“You got to create a success habit of getting out of the education world as fast as possible through active deal-making. You'll learn through screwing stuff up.”

“You start a business, you hire 10 people. If we can get 100,000 entrepreneurs to start a business, and they all hire 10 people, it gets a lot better, right?”
