Very enjoyable listen/watch, made be think of a few things differently.

[@randalljmoore]

I’ve listened to this one twice this week. Absolutely outstanding conversation and not what we would’ve expected. Nuggets everywhere. File under the Tren and Rory episodes. Please bring Guy on regularly.

[@JoyceSuacy]

Spier I believe that wisdom brings wealth and with wealth one get's enlighten.

[@user-ff4ce2ol9e]

Yes with wisdom you can achieve any height.

[@BautistaSealy]

Without wisdom wealth and financial enlightenment is not achievable. Do you know that most rich men and women don't accurate wealth themselves, but because they're wise enough, they engage with high potentials/intelligent people who help them to grow their ideas. So wisdom is all we need in life.

[@mikealhertzman2530]

@@BautistaSealy Yes true, history said that already. All the top richest people on earth all have that second person around them that helped them get to where they are today. Then, they also engage with financial experts who helps them to monitor and control their finance.
