[04:58] Caleb’s Superpower

• Caleb, 24, says his dyslexia helped him learn unconventionally by going to the experts and seeking out mentors.
• Although it's hard for him to read, he developed an ability to take complicated things, make them simple, and articulate them.

[11:58] Relationship with Money

• Caleb thinks that people are still ignorant about money, Christians more so.
• People tend to be guilty when they talk about money, so it feels like a sin.
• The Bible talks about money and being good stewards.
• Money should be a tool that enhances your identity, not the other way around.

[15:12] Growing Up with Values

• Caleb is the oldest of six kids, was homeschooled, and grew up in a faith-based home.
• He remembers going to a college class in high school and getting an A, but his dad was less concerned about the grade and asked if he had learned something.
• His mom taught him that he has a moral obligation to change things he can control, like his attitude, and not be a dyslexia victim.

[25:50] Foundation of Wealth Mindset

• Caleb shared the foundational books he read before he was 18 by listening through Audible.
• After reading Think and Grow Rich, he realized he wanted to dedicate his life to becoming the most valuable person he could be.
• He headed a bank's investment department because he wanted to be more helpful to the people he was working with, even though he could have earned twice as much elsewhere.

[28:30] “Wealth starts in how we think. A lot of people read my book, or listen to my show, or hear me speak, and they want a tactic. There's nothing wrong with tactics. I love efficiency hacks. But I'm telling you: you are missing the point if you don't understand that wealth begins with how you think.” - Click Here to Tweet This

[37:44] Definition of Success

• Caleb views success as an ability to help people see and reach their highest potential.
• He feels successful when he becomes a helper alongside you because you are the hero of your story.
• Every decision you make with your time, money, and abilities has ripple effects.

[43:16] 4 Principles of Better Wealth

• #1 Clarity. Any road will get you there if you don't know where you want to go.
• #2 Efficiency. Optimize your money, and understand your cash flow, assets, and debt.
• #3 Consistency. You need to be consistent in the long term and develop the ability to control your capital.
• #4 Use. Your greatest financial need is to use money in a way that you want to live your life.

[48:52] “When we play the long-term game, we have to understand that every decision we make has a consequence. Going back to the time value of money, a dollar today is worth way more than a dollar. A dollar loss today is worth way more than just a dollar.” - Click Here to Tweet This

[54:10] The And Asset

• Caleb’s book has the tips to efficiently use your money on special types of life insurance contracts.
• The best feedback he got was about the book's simplicity, as if a fourth-grader wrote it.

[54:34] “I hated life insurance when I first started. And then when I truly understood it, I realized it's not the what; it's the how people are using it. It's how people are teaching it. And it can be an amazing foundational asset to store your capital and use it throughout your life.” - Click Here to Tweet This
