Banker's Vending Machine Success
Share
Sam shares a story about an email from a listener who transformed his life after listening to their podcast.
"We got this email from a listener who used to be 230 pounds and pretty overweight. He started running and would listen to our podcast the whole time while running. He did a 50-mile race and only listened to MFM the entire time. He's lost a ton of weight, and next week he's doing a 100-mile race where he plans to listen to us the whole time again.
He's 25 years old and used to work in banking and M&A, making low six figures. It was a cool job, but he recently quit after listening to us. Now he owns a bunch of vending machines that allow him to make $10K a month and do a bunch of running. He said 'do memorable things' which is what we talked about at the end of the pod.
He's thinking about doing short term rentals now too. His name's Jack."
