They dive deep into: Why business coaching delivers a 6–7x ROI and how to know if you’re actually coachable The difference between being a great operator vs. a true owner Why “how” kills most goals — and what to focus on instead How to think about investing once you’ve made money (businesses, real estate, and rules) Why talking about money openly is essential — especially with friends and family The real purpose of wealth, legacy, and giving back Brad also breaks down his philosophy on goal-setting, investing only where you’re an expert, and why most people would rather look rich than be rich. This is a masterclass in business thinking, long-term wealth, and building a life that actually feels successful.
