Why avoid the Silicon Valley myth

Cody and I dug into the real side of entrepreneurship, what it actually takes to build wealth without chasing shiny ideas. I shared why I walked away from the tech startup fantasy and leaned into simple businesses that solve real problems. We talked through the ten minute drill, how I evaluate opportunity in any town, and why people waste years building businesses with zero demand. I broke down why your first business is about reps and skill acquisition, not money, and how boring work like tree removal or survey work can set you up for financial freedom faster than chasing passive income. This is a full breakdown of how to think like an operator, what the real wealthy people actually do, and why momentum is everything.
