Summary
I've spent time around some of the wealthiest, most successful people on the planet, from Richard Branson to Naval Ravikant to Travis Kalanick.
What I discovered is that billionaires don't just work harder, they operate on a completely different set of rules that most entrepreneurs never learn.
In this episode, I share the biggest lessons that changed how I build businesses and live my life after spending hundreds of hours with the top 0.01%.
If you want to know what actually separates the ultra successful from everyone else, watch this to the end.

| 0:00.0 | Billionaires follow rules that 99% of people don't even know exists. And I'm not talking about the |

| 1:10.3 | That's the game we were taught. |
| 1:12.4 | Billionaires aren't playing that game at all. |
| 1:15.0 | They essentially deleted it and they installed something completely different. |
| 1:19.8 | That's how Richard Branson is able to run 400 companies |
