It's not my fault I was born into a poor family...

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media February 10, 2023 Duration: 37:07

How many times have you heard someone explain why they haven't been able to get a job, go to college, make money to get them beyond their basic needs, start a business, or buy the car of their dreams. And it typically then includes blaming, criticizing, pointing fingers, and explaining why it's not their fault. I'm going to tell you about a little boy who defied the odds against him.

Episode #869, February 10, 2023

Questions:

1. Are we going to see a shift toward the "Uberization" of the U.S. workforce?

2. My wife and I are former teen parents who want to start a podcast around our journey and what we have learned along the way.

3. I don't see opportunities in my area of interest but I'd love to dig in.

4. I have a dream, an impossible dream! A dream so foolish that I'd be an idiot to try it—and so glorious that I'd be stupid not to go for it!
