Ahmad Jabbir\u2019s story about how he went above and beyond during his job interview comes to mind.\n\u00a0\nI really enjoy them and these stories provide a much needed reminder. As I get older, I feel like I\u2019m making more conservative choices. If that is true or not, objectively I\u2019m not sure I could say. I think it is important to try things that might include risk, assuming it has positive upside and you\u2019ve considered how you can minimize the negative.\n\u00a0\nI invited my friend Mason Burchette back on the podcast. He first appeared on The Struggles is Real on episode 30 where we discussed some of his best advice from his book, How to Make Sure You Never Get Promoted: An Antithetical Guide to Succeeding in Your Career.\n\u00a0\nAside from wanting an excuse to catch up, I invited Mason back on the show because he\u2019s made a life changing decision. He left his role as a Director of Marketing and Development to start his own business.\n\u00a0\nKnowing Mason has a similar risk tolerance as me, I wanted to understand how he came to this decision. We also talk about legacy, business principles, and why Chick-fil-A isn\u2019t a chicken company but actually a leadership development academy.\n\u00a0\nShow Notes:\n[2:31] Going from employee to entrepreneur\n[5:55] Building a legacy for future generations\n[8:44] Evaluating risk on the value you can gain, not what you can lose\n[12:43] Why Chick-fil-A isn\u2019t a chicken company but actually a leadership development academy\n[16:09] How to leave your job gracefully\n[21:53] How to avoid living paycheck to paycheck by delaying gratification\n[39:43] Balance business with family\n\u00a0\nMentions:\n26 Year Old Director Shares Advice on How to Quickly Rise Through the Ranks I E30 - Mason Burchette (Apple Podcasts or Spotify)\nHow to Make Sure You Never Get Promoted: An Antithetical Guide To Succeeding in Your Career by Mason Burchette\nHow to Always Live Paycheck to Paycheck: An Antithetical Guide to Fixing Your Finances\nFinancial Peace for the Next Generation by Dave Ramsey\nThe Richest Man In Babylon by George S.
