Welcome to the Sports Motivation Podcast.

This is your host, Nees Showbo, and today is an episode of books and bars is where I break down excerpts from my favorite books, as well as bars from my favorite rap lyrics.

I am a hip-hop fan.

I love hip-hop.

I always joke with my wife.

I don't know if I will ever outgrow hip-hop.

I love it, all right?

And so you guys will get, and have been getting

heavy doses of that. But today is a book. And today is a very important book because this is a

book that I read. Actually, I think I first read it when I was a firefighter and I was a young

firefighter. So I went from being in the league to being broke, to working at a job in a factory

and then becoming a firefighter, right? And one of the

reasons I became a firefighter is because I had this weird idea that that was going to help me

be financially secure, right? And very quickly, I realized that is a lie. And there was no way in the

world I was going to be able to successfully raise my family of seven on a firefighter salary. And I think, you know, by a lot of

people's standards, I guess it's a secure, you know, paycheck. But that wasn't the type of life I wanted

to live. And so I started really digging into how to really create the financial future that I

really, really wanted and felt like I really, really deserved.

And that is when I came across Rameet Sati.

I can't remember exactly how I found him, but I think it was on a podcast of someone else's,

I think it was the Art of Charm podcast, actually.

He had an interview on the Art of Charm podcast that was incredible.
