How to Build Wealth Without Chasing Your Passion

from The Sweaty Startup

In this episode, I sat down with Travis Chappell to talk about the real game of entrepreneurship, one that doesn't start with passion, but with leverage, discipline, and picking battles you can actually win. We got into why boring businesses outperform flashy ones, why real estate isn't passive, and how I ended up buying a $52 million company without anyone's permission. If you've ever been told to follow your dreams and hope it works out, this conversation will show you a more honest and more effective path.
