So every line of business cannot together be more than 30 hours.” “When you get an opportunity, take it–no matter how crazy.” “It's very easy to get comfortable and be the smartest person in the room... but when you have 2, 3, or 4 times more than you, it changes your thinking and your dynamic.” Connecting with the Guest Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chad.kirkpatrick Instagram: @chad_investor_ofleisure Connect with our growing community: Apply to GoBundance: https://www.gobundance.com/membership Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gobundance/ Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?
