What's up, guys, is Brian. I wanted to post this short excerpt from a podcast I was recently just on called Keep What You Earned by Shannon Weinstein. Shannon has become a really good friend of mine really quickly and she asked some fantastic questions on her show that I really enjoyed. So I wanted to post this quick excerpt that discusses how to avoid burnout along your journey, how to clearly define your

end destination so that you don't end up stressed out, pissed off, burnt out, depressed, and

hopefully not divorced. So I'll let you guys get to it. Here is me on Keep What You Earned.

What prompted you to go all the way to travel the world? Because there's like corporate America, start a business. There's an in-between there. Most people would probably go, wow, that's really, that's bold to just get up and go travel the world. What was the motivation to do that? Did you feel any sense of like, if not now, when or that you just really wanted to get out of the environment you were in.

What drove it?

Yeah.

So great question.

Most people flip-flop the order in which things should be done.

All right.

So a lot of people that listen to this podcast and listen to my podcast, listen to any business

entrepreneurship podcast, all they talk about are the vehicles,

right? So it's like we're all like in this entrepreneurial car dealership, call it. And you look

around and you've got index funds, Airbnb, multifamily, commercial investing, real estate,

buying businesses, starting businesses, online business media, all these different options of making

money and providing

you what's called passive income. We all understand this because we listen to this podcast.

And we all focus so much on these vehicles and so much on the process of car shopping that

we don't actually decide where we're taking the car. So what that ends up in is we're driving

down this freaking endless highway down the desert.

And we look up one day and we say, how long have we been driving for?

And it's like days, months, years.

And you've been mashing the gas for years. And now all of a sudden your car is starting to break down and your freaking smoke is coming up out of the engine.
