Summary
I've been wanting to bring lots more "brick-and-mortar-type" entrepreneurs and success stories on the show. There are tons of incredible people out there that we can learn from.
But, I've learned that it's actually tough for me to get them on the show!
Generally, people with money who have nothing to sell don't seem to want to talk publicly about what they've learned.
But, even though it's tough, I'm still working on it.
And today, I get to bring you one of this type of interview.
My guest today is a former boss of mine, Warren Prescott. He's a great guy who started with few advantages in life.
He started as a plumber's assistant as a teenager and today he's a wealthy businessman here in South Florida.
Enjoy learning from his experience!

| 1:45.0 | toward that. I've worked hard to keep the guests diverse to not talk about the |
