0:00.0	You're listening to TIP. Being the CEO of a small business, like I said earlier, in my mind is the
0:05.9	ultimate form of investing. You are actively operating. You're actively dealing with how to
0:11.7	handle cash off your balance sheet, how to create something bigger in a very active way, which is fun
0:18.5	if you've got the stomach for it. It's a lot more fun, I think, than
0:22.4	sort of like a passive reet or one of the many other options out there, because you can create

1:16.5	further delay, let's dive into today's episode with John Wilson. You're listening to Millennial

1:30.1	Since 2014, we interviewed successful entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors
1:35.1	to help educate and inspire the millennial generation.
