First time I heard of Andrew, he sounds so down to earth. He speaks with wisdom. Tired of hearing these millionaires talking about you need a Rolex when in reality, family, God, health, your finances in order matter most. FYI im not into productivity lab. But I would pay for special notes or special access to podcast episodes or community of podcast listener. great advice from Andrew.

Andrew is the best. Him and I met a few years ago, and shared a super unique r/NoBurp experience, to which he helped me get a procedure that changed my way of life. Forever grateful to have met him, and so interesting hearing him speak about business! Great episode!

@bellaluce7088 7 дней назад

This was great, thank you! 🤓 Some favorite takeaways: *1) To help create a life that makes you happy, identify what DOESN'T and avoid it* (e.g. being over-scheduled). 2) Focusing on the kind of tasks/work you enjoy and saying no to hustle culture even when first starting out (mentioned influence of Jason Fried's books). 3) Being careful about who you spend time with because what they value will influence your own desires (e.g. falling into the trap of expensive watches and cars before realizing what actually adds value to his life are things like freedom, connecting with people, being a good dad, and giving away money). 4) Intentionally recalibrating your sense of what's enough [and appreciation for what you have] by choosing less expensive/less deluxe options sometimes (e.g.economy flight and cheap hotel, Ali's experience quickly adapting to a basic rental car vs. Tesla). 5) Recognizing that no life is problem-free, and both wealth and celebrity come with their own problems. (Appreciate what you have, be careful what you wish for, and beware of stalkers and property invading pitchmen!)

In terms of billionaires (which the group as a whole is sort of notorious), Andrew might be the most humble, self-aware person I've heard speak. "Grandiose Humility" - I watch HealthyGamer and Dr.K calls this "the ego of not having an ego".

@imdee9024 6 дней назад

He is right - don't hang out with people who care about Stuff - but but but ... isn't it sad that one needs to first become a millionaire to identify that - they all say the same thing: Money won't make you happy and don't worry about status but then average people hear that and think: yeah, it's easier to say when you have money. All due respect to Andrew - he deserves his success - just mentioning how we think.

This podcast instead of making me sad and hopeless , made me curious of what else , if not more money is the solution for human's everlasting emptiness. And this is taking me inwards , towards me , and i know i'll get answer pretty soon . Whatever the reality be like , I am going to question everything to its last , and will see where this journey ends , or if reality says otherwise , even that is accepted. Whatever is the truth , that I will accept whole heartedly (even that is not required , as it true) , but only if it true.

In 96 my mother worked for $11 an hour 50 hours a week and was able to get a 48k mortgage on a 1600sqf home from saving $200 a month for 2 years. Now I make $11 an hour 55 hour work weeks and... I live paycheck to paycheck in Lowe income government assistant housing because renting anything else would eat 2/3 my paycheck. I'll never afford to buy a house..

@DavidAnyim-hd9by 8 дней назад

I was a stay at Home disabled dad with no money in my IRA or any savings of my which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Mrs Elizabeth Marie Hawley. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, she was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, you can do better.

@Shanefrancis-vk8ks 8 дней назад

@farid4483 9 дней назад

Although I’m certain that what Andrew says must be genuine, it’s unthinkable to be able to understand his idea that money isn’t in the key of happiness when one doesn’t have money.

@mariosencario 8 дней назад

Right? It's a really interesting topic. I don't think money will eliminate all of your problems and make you deliriously happy until you die of old age. But it definitely gives you the freedom to create the life you want. As long as you genuinely know what you want. Let's say someone works a 9 - 5 job, and they get a 2x pay rise. Are they happy? Yeah, for a short while, but they still have to work. The big one is when you don't have to go to a job for a living. Then, your happiness definitely has the potential to skyrocket. Unless, perhaps, you had no hobbies before coming into money. Then, you'd just sit around doing nothing until you really gave it some thought. And yes, that'd fall into the definition of a 'problem'. But if you compare the problem of what to do with all your money and free time to the problem of being able to afford food and rent, then there's clearly an obvious preference for which problem you'd rather have. So I get that, while money solves your money problems, it doesn't give you a life you're immediately going to fall in love with. But I agree that it's very hard to empathise. Perhaps the people who make millions through business ventures just like doing business stuff, regardless of how much money they have. So when they're asked if it makes them in particular happy, then the answer is often no, because they still like doing the same thing they were doing before.

@josephcookey7992 4 дня назад

The best way to feel rich is to have cash flow >> Andrew I think he meant more cash inflows and less cash outflows. An awesome interview overall.

Alex seems to be a kind overthinker who hasnt quite reliquished his mental chains, which is something so many struggle with. I agree that you carry your brain with you for sure. Thats why you need to deal with your mind and your values and work on yourself and your demons. Money at the very least gives you an opportunity for a great quailty of life - health insurance, food, shelter, a comfortable environment. What you do with that opportunity is in an individual's hands from there. What it doesnt do is automatically change (for the better) your mental state or relationships. So if you have an unhealthy relationship with life or aspects of it, that will be present whether you have wealth or not.

To enjoy expensive cars, watches, electronics etc you need to be able to appreciate the detail, engineering, time, expertise and care that went into them. You can't just reduce them to a fashion or power statement. You need to learn to appreciate the sound of V12, or watching your tourbillion, or the beauty of your expensive record player. How these are different than your ocean view 😂

I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Strayer.

buying watches and sports cars to signal membership of a group is problematic… but beware of crossing the line and dissing the craftsmen who produce the finer things in life… especially so when Ali is a creator too… surely your youtube course is different from just watching youtube videos about how to start a channel? and your book is different from wikipedia?
