I Turned $1M into $2.3B (Then Blew It Up and Rebuilt)

I'm a good guy to sit around a campfire with drinking because I got a lot of store. This is Mike Novogratz. Mike grew up as a poor kid on Long Island, made its first million working as a trader at Goldman Sachs at the age of 32, and made its first billion at the age of 40. Is that life changing? Yeah. We were the only company ever where five guys became billionaires in a day. That's wild. Mike is a cowboy in his personal life and his professional life. This guy likes to push it. And it's max risk all the time.

Yeah. That's crazy, man. Mike's made and lost a fortune about two different times. We made a bunch of mistakes and next thing I know, not only aren't you worth two billion dollars, but you're going under the billion pretty quick. And you're like, oh shit, that sucks. And what are you doing like What's the lesson to be learned here? The gap being really great.

in the next level, and I put myself in that next level. Yeah. I feel like I can rule the world, I know I can be what I want to I put my all in it like my day's all on the road, less travel, never looking at the ball. I value people who are good operators at life. And who live a certain way that I like. I'm dressed like a cowboy today because I'm like you're kind of like a cowboy a little bit, like in the the energy that you have. And and that's something that I really respect.
