How to Get Rich (without luck, talent or a trust fund)

The host lays out four "rules of money" that he used to go from being broke in his twenties to making his first million by 30 and later building a net worth of $30 million.

Throughout, he illustrates the rules with concrete examples from his own life and from figures like Mr. Biso, Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Alex Ramosi, and Steve Martin.
