Radical Personal Finance Podcast for its day Monday on August the 11th, 2014.

Thank you for being here.

Today, what can we learn about life, business, and wealth from the 400 people with the highest incomes, or either I should

say from the people with the, let's see, how do I say, 400 highest income earners? I think that would be accurate.

Thank you for being here with me. I appreciate it and I trust that the content today will give you something to think about, something thought-provoking, something to get your brain going.
