Tom is the author of a very popular book called Why Doctors Don't Get Rich.

How you can create freedom with passive income investing.

And while I'll say this book is about Doctors' income investing.

And while I'll say this book is about doctors who don't get rich, it's really for anybody struggling

in life in general, but more specifically in their financial life and for those who really want to way out of the rat race.

And in this book, you're going to learn how to think like the rich, make money work for you,

use leverage to it to your advantage, protect your wealth, pay less taxes, avoid costly mistakes,

control your time, and choose your ideal life. Everything you need to succeed is in

this book. I absolutely love, love this book. So with that time it's great to have you on the show.

John, glad to see your face. I know we talk a few times during the year but I haven't seen that smile and face for a long

time. It's always great to see you always good to see you in person too and I hope

hope we can get together sooner than later. So Tom I like to start the show in the beginning was sort of a macro picture and in this case a macro picture around real estate and any thoughts that you have on the economy.

But, but before we do that, you've got to share the story of you being the first person to buy

Robert Kiyasaki's book Ritz dad poor dad at a car wash this is a classic story

please share all right right and I probably classic story. Please share.

All right.

And I probably have no other accomplishments in life.

But this one, you know, is the one I just fell into.

So, yeah, to keep the story short, one day I was running errands.

My truck was dirty.

I took it to the car wash, and I'll tell you at that time I was reading a lot of books,

a lot of books on real estate, personal development, anything that would help me move forward.
