      I wish more younger successful people talked about charity and giving back. It’s almost like when you get older you start thinking about the fact that you are not going to take it with you, but that was always true from the time you became wealth and even before that.

    great insights from someone who is very wealthy. I worked for papa johns several years ago, in fact, i worked for several stores in the dallas-fort worth area. the work environment is the worst. the managers treat you very bad. they make you feel you're worthless and they are the best. i stayed there for as long as i could until no longer could bare it, so i quit. i started working for myself and since then i found what John Schnatter says, you got to love what you do. I just needed to say that. however, the pizzas have a super delicious flavor, i love them!

That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million..

I respect so much his love for quality furniture. Knowing that is something special enough to buy and not knowing how to use it is a lesson to many people as well. Most people buy stuff they recognise and makes them comfortable like a tv or so. He buys a preachers stand and see what he creates in the future. I do not have his money but choose to travel the world as a documentary filmmaker and so I did. Worked in over a 100countries and earned enough to live a pleasant live in the sun.

    I wish billionaires were more hands on with their philanthropy, donating to corrupt charities is the slowest path to success. If you can develop a self-sustaining business that also aids humanity in some way. That's the goal. A billionaire could solve homelessness and demolish rent inflation, in a year, following a proper model and lose none of the wealth. Hunger is even easier. The biggest obstacle is the government when it comes to solving other issues, in education, drug epidemics, etc.... Even then, billionaires that live off of dividends, have the resources to start campaigns in towns, then, cities, then states. Essentially bypassing the impossible task of getting congress to agree on solving a well documented problem.

    I have been following your channel for a few years and generally found your advice well-considered and your presentation to be first-rate, including your attempts at humor, and first and foremost, your transparency. This video proved to offer me perhaps the least value of all. Papa John's pizza would be eaten by no self-respecting Italian (my family is from Italy) and is merely "mediocre" American pizza at best. Thus, this video's message seems to be, how to make an absolute fortune by offering the brass-tongued public cardboard pies with some sort of sauce on top and getting ridiculously rich in the process. An insightful examination of the precise, step-by-step business strategies "Papa" employed to achieve great financial success selling rubbish would have proved far more valuable.

    • @Matthew0266
      @Matthew0266 5 місяців тому

      Yes, truly, investing in the market, even if it's just the S&P 500, can keep up with inflation, because the growth rate of stocks will always exceed the inflation rate. But if you don't have the courage, you could just invest with a financial advisor, which even has greater return on investments, while securing your investment against losses.

    • @Nicholas-Richardson
      @Nicholas-Richardson 5 місяців тому

      Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

    As cool as having that much money would be, what would it take for him to feel excited about life.. at that point almost everything he builds or buys is pretty much free compared to his net worth.
