[@MitchMcConnell2024]

This lady will not let him finish a sentence.

[@MackMittenzTV]

I love how most billionaires preach the importance of working on your mindset in order to become successful! I’ve incorporated meditation, journaling, podcast, gym, and reading the past few years and my paradigm has definitely shifted! I appreciate this interview Miss Diane 🙏🏾

[@BupinderSNayar]

Thank you

[@RR-et6zp]

read the unplugged alpha by richard cooper

[@AnnaFed015]

John Desmond Heppolette's approach is pivotal for achieving success in the realm of online commerce. His management group has showcased outstanding effectiveness, and I also value the content available on his KZbin channel....

[@AnnaFed015]

that is john's verified telegams user written above..

[@claytonhaymes3310]

I really wish she would stop interrupting the people she interviews and instead just let them speak and finish their thoughts...

[@bekchik]

Brad Jacobs is the Man. I am definitely buying his book. I been following him for 10 years and his growth is amazing. Especially the industry that he succeeded in is NOT easy at all

[@nakshatrabayanwala]

Really great session.

[@blackexecutivemen]

Real talk. Good interview.

[@urbansegments8327]

These are great questions!!

[@sunleticonversations5784]

Thank you for your insights 🙏🏾. I am most definitely buying the book

[@ahmadbakrizubir]

Thank you Brad for the enlightening sharing! 👍👍

[@DIZZLEBOI44]

Meetings are definitely a waste of time. I saw that with the first startup I got involved with. Great interview 👍

[@RayBrown28]

I want to do Bizz with this guy.

[@jymiv7640]

I can see why he’s built financially successful companies👍

[@connectionsconnections819]

This was a very good and interesting interview. Thanks to both of you Please can you tell the name of the book?

[@FinancialFinesse00]

Thanks for this valuble informative episode lots of gems were dished out and yes mindset plays a key Brad keep the gems coming.

[@WilhelmPendragon]

Not the best interviewer

[@WilhelmPendragon]

The “pivot when I’m bored” bit could have been an interesting conversation

[@lui9267]

There were two occasions where I definitely wanted Brad to further expand on his viewpoint but the interviewer asked questions from her script ☹️

[@lioncrud9096]

Gotta respect this guy. However I hope the book is a bit more detailed than just “re-arrange your brain”. That’s important but not exactly a new thought. Pretty much all success books say that. How exactly did you create these billion dollar companies is what I want to know. What were the actions taken. What was the plan he made before launching. How did he assess the business opportunity. Etc

[@AcesizOfficial]

🔥🔥🔥

[@cxa011500]

It would have been great to put the name of his book in the title and the description. 🧐

[@ALCRAN2010]

How to Make a Few Billion Dollars Hardcover - January 15, 2024 by Brad Jacobs (Author)

[@JilianToree]

He seems like a great guy to work with.

[@brendanang_]

Love the video!

[@user-qx7xn3bu6c]

Congratulations

[@BTS360tv]

Interesting

[@gdew9643]

Would have helped to type the name of the book in the description = How to Make a Few Billion Dollars: Brad Jacobs

[@AquiredThinkers]

This was Gold

[@MrAdam921]

He did the cover like Neumann Holmes and SBF? Can't wait to watch that TV series 🍿🍿

[@sutats]

It is amazing for anyone to successfully create a multibillion dollar company. But to create a few of them is inconceivable.

[@rehanjawaid8341]

The rules this guy has for meetings, that throws my career out the window

[@Anisha..Alayna]

‼️‼️‼️💯

[@cano4458]

charismatic man. ordered his book

[@mdhughes78]

Did he trade oil during the embargo and that’s how he initially got rich ?

[@luislopes806]

I would like to congratulate Diane Brady on her excellent and successful Business Interview Program. And Brad Jacobs’ participation in your Program provided a learning about how to run a Business in way that lead success. I am already waiting for the next guest for your Video Report! Best Regards! Luís Lopes

[@michcail1976]

What's the book📚

[@nakshatrabayanwala]

"How to make a few billion dollars"~ Brad Jacobs

[@wread1982]

SSNT is his new stock

[@ladiomole]

The mind is the key. Unfortunately, it is a very complex subject. How do you get into the right mindset? The study of the neural network exposes the importance of psychology and neurology in the quality of our life.

[@Musa_Media_]

I like this guy haha

[@woodworkingaspirations1720]

Is it true that most employers no longer ask for degrees? Otherwise a very enlightening talk.

[@adityarai6611]

Alot of them have stopped asking for it but you do get judged for not having one because at the end of the day it is employees hiring you. But if you are applying in startups, they do not really care and just want to see your work unless if you are from top Ivy league uni then they do give preference to the degree.

[@DavidKFZ]

I've heard about this from a number of publications now, but that said you'd be at a BIG disadvantage if you didn't know how to write your resume correctly, the correct method being that you're providing proof of the results you can deliver, much like a sales presentation

[@BigAirDropper666]

I think he may conceive shareholder value as the result of an value add service where happy customers create happy employees and therefore min 32x ROIs :D Add in strong culture + strategy and boom 💥 market leader

[@dac8939]

Is this a scam

[@CorRoc249]

It was great listening to Brad Jacobs, but the Forbes interviewer wasn't that good

[@LittleHallians]

I dont gotta damn clue who got into our metaverse and they are ruining everything... anyone gotta clue?

[@donaldharlan3981]

that goon does not pay

[@user-fj7ym4op8j]

Hb

[@samsonsoturian6013]

It's called a ponzi scheme

[@frankdemaria7766]

The book is a bunch of lies. This guy helps nobody people are nothing to him.

[@olivierporte]

Highly successful people giving advice: “Here are the winning numbers I picked to win the lottery.” In other words, advice is (largely) useless (though it can be entertaining to listen to). The only thing that matters are facts. Find out what is “true” (could be something about a product, market, customers, etc.) and pursue it with unrelenting determination
