Summary

Business is changing. And so is investing. Risk is higher these days. And people want predictions. But no one really knows. You can't predict something that's never happened before... You can only look at what's possible. So I called up Sam Parr. He founded The Hustle, an 8-figure company that started with an email. And NOW The Hustle has a new arm, which I'm really excited about: trends.co which tells you HOW trends are changing in real-time. It's run by a team of analysts and entrepreneurs who scour global markets for opportunities to help you make money and build businesses successfully. Definitely check them out. And Sam surprised me at the end with a special gift for our listeners so I hope you enjoy. Thanks, - James I write about all my podcasts!
