Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Brandon Brittingham, an elite real estate expert and entrepreneur, to discuss the value of asking for help and embracing the “infinite loop of abundance.” I share my personal journey of losing $100 million and how that experience transformed my approach to success, wealth, and life. We explore how paying the "dummy tax" and relying on the wisdom of others can fast-track your journey, while Brandon reinforces the importance of building a supportive community. Together, we uncover why letting opportunities come to you, instead of chasing them, is key to long-term success.
