Summary

In today’s episode, we’re trying something different!

Usually, y’all know I have one guest and I ask them a whole bunch of questions.

BUT today, I have THREE guests. And I asked each of them to give me the advice they wish they could tell their 20-year-old self.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear from:

- Bing Gordon: Former chief creative officer of the video game company Electronic Arts

- Paul Orfalea: Founder of Kinkos… which sold for over $2.6 BILLION dollars!!

- And Bob Metcalfe: Who invented the ethernet cable… which was the original internet.

ALL of these guys have two things in common: They’re AT LEAST 70-years-old and they’re all multi-millionaires… or billionaires!

Who better to get advice from in your 20s!?

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about what 70 year-olds would tell their 20-year-old selves, you’ll love this episode.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

- What Bing Gordon DIDN’T do in his 20s that would have made his life a whole lot easier

- The advice Paul Orfalea’s mom gave him when HE was in his 20s

- And the ONE skill Bob Metcalfe wishes he learned sooner… that you can learn NOW.

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
