Welcome to the Mike Dillard podcast, where we help entrepreneurs like you get the knowledge

and skills that you need to bring your dreams to life. Today, you're going to sit down with me

and eavesdrop as I catch up with an old friend of mine that I have not seen in years. His name is Tom Dyson. Now, Tom was the co-founder

alongside Mark Ford of the wildly successful investing in financial education company called

the Palm Beach Research Group. Together, they turned that business into a $100 million-plus

company that has grown by leaps and bounds to this day. Well, a few years ago,

Tom went through a divorce, depression overtook him, and he decided to walk away from all of it.

Wow, unbelievable. Well, today you're going to hear the story of what happened and why it ended up being a massive blessing in disguise.

I'm thrilled to say that this story has an incredibly happy ending and it certainly contains some very, very valuable lessons for all of us.

Now, given the fact that Tom and I are both still in love with global economics and investing,

we couldn't help but dive into that topic towards the end of today's interview. What we both

see coming on the horizon is incredibly important for you to hear, but I think that you will be

shocked by what Tom and I have both decided to do about it. So if you'd like to hear what Tom's doing

with his money, what I'm doing with my money, definitely take a listen to this, and I think

you're going to be quite surprised. Now, before we dive in, I'm thrilled to announce that

Mike Diller mentoring is officially here. Last week, I accepted my first group of students

into this very exclusive year-long mentoring program, and we are

off to an absolutely incredible start. If you'd like me to take you by the hand and walk

you through every aspect of creating and growing a business for an entire year, week to week,

head over to Mike Dillard Mentoring.com to learn more about it. Now with that being said, please help me welcome

Mr. Tom Dyson. Tom Dyson, welcome back to the podcast, brother. It's been a long time since you and I

have had a chance to catch up, and I cannot wait to hear about the incredible adventure you've been on
