Building Wealth Without Losing Yourself

from The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I sit down with Tilman Fertitta, chairman, CEO, and sole owner of Fertitta Entertainment, which includes Landry’s, the Golden Nugget, and the Houston Rockets. Tilman shares how he turned a $6,000 loan into a multi-billion-dollar empire by protecting his credit, respecting money, and never living outside his box. He talks about taking Landry’s public, buying it back, building a culture that keeps leaders around for decades, and why owning an NBA team in his hometown means more than almost anything he’s accomplished. We also talk about gratitude, philanthropy, family, and the decision-making skills that drive lasting success.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
