Asking Millionaires How They RICH (New York City)

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I’ve been extremely impressed recently with this one particular YouTube channel called School of Hard Knocks.

The format isn’t necessarily all that groundbreaking - they basically just go around the United States asking successful people how they got rich.

But I’ve been consistently blown away by the quality…and just the decency of the millionaires they end up interviewing.

People you and I likely never would have heard of too.

Some have social media and some don’t, but virtually every single one of them has shared something profound, inspiring, or extremely valuable - the dude interviewing them hasn’t missed once.

Here’s one of my favorite videos of theirs, where they ask millionaires in NYC how they made their money, if they’ve ever been broke before, stuff like that.

Ryan Serhant makes an appearance too, a realtor and author whose books I really enjoyed last year.

If you and I keep working hard (and smart), maybe they’ll be interviewing us someday :)

Note: I’ll update follower counts once per week, since it’s such a waste of time to go through all of them every single night. Also, Threads annoyingly doesn’t give exact numbers. Oh well.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

Just a quick, enjoyable workout today. Nothing too crazy. I didn’t even really keep track of the weights, just getting back into it nice and easy, seeing how I feel. I was curling 80s though with the EZ bar so that’s cool!

Hmm, I’m finding my productivity slowing down, exactly when I need to ramp it UP if I want to come close to finishing off some of these April goals.

Still, though, I’m making unreal progress. And, most importantly, ENJOYING MYSELF while I do it. Because yeah, the money’s great and all, but if you’re not having fun at work, or if it’s not for some higher purpose, what’s the point?

But now, I’m going to bed!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,
