In this episode Cem and Wayne dive in to James Altucher’s ‘Secrets to Personal Finance’ and the many skills that young people need in order to make money and thrive in the digital economy. We cover several points from why we’re never taught how to sell or negotiate, why the education systems avoids creating leaders and why regular re-invention can transform our lives and finances. We also reference several great books and resources on how to become a money making master, build extraordinary relationships and use mindfulness for increased productivity and emotional intelligence.
