Summary

What the heck? Is that Dan Bilzerian in the background? Where are you? Dan said "Croatia". How did you get there? "When you're with Bill, you can get anywhere!" Bill Perkins lives life large and plans to DIE with zero. "Experiences pay dividends forever. You remember experiences. You tell stories. They can lead to other experiences. Money only plays a dividend once a year. Coming here with my family and friends and this will pay dividends forever." Like everything else he does. "If you die with money in the bank then you wasted all those hours you spent making that extra money instead of enjoying the things you love to do." Health, Time, Money, is all we have and at each stage of our lives we only have two out of the three. Use that to maximize doing what you love and dying with zero. I write about all my podcasts!
