Two years ago, Brad Jacobs wrote a book called How to Make a Few Billion Dollars.
I covered it all the way back on episode 335.
In the two years since the book has come out, Brad has made a few more billion dollars.
So his new book has the appropriate title of How to Make a Few More Billion Dollars.
Brad was kind enough to send me an early copy of the book so I could read it and do an episode on it.
So I want to jump right in the introduction.
In the introduction, he talks about why he wrote this book.
He said after the first book,
I started getting inquiries from people on topics that I didn't cover enough or at all.
This sequel provides answers to those questions.
And he states why he would be qualified to write such a book.
He says, I start companies from scratch,
assemble teams capable of extraordinary success and turn abstract ideas into billions of dollars of tangible value.
But this is my favorite thing about Brad is how much he talks about managing his mind and how over his nearly five decade career.
He has learned the tools to turn an imperfect mind into a mind capable of building billions of dollars of value.
And so he says, but I'm far from perfect.
Psychologist Albert Ellis nailed it when he said, we're all valuable, fucked up human beings.
Well, count me among them.
And so in the introduction, there's a series of what I would call like stand alone ideas from Brad.
I just made a list and I just want to share some of those with you.
