    Thank you so much for this video but in these uncertain times it is more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

    Wow what a great conversation and let me say this I have been listening to My First Million pod for a few weeks now and I can’t tell you how much better I feel about being a creative. I have struggled so long, feeling awkward or different and clearly not putting myself around like people and I am now enjoying the process. I wanted to mention that with all of the analogies that you’re giving as far as failing and even when Christina mentions, just wanting to start a book club or a website, I totally get it. There are just some things in life that I just want to do and they aren’t going to generate money but it’s always a process and the monetary value isn’t always the prize thank you so much for being that light to know that I’m on the right path and more importantly I’m doing things that I enjoy.

    • @DJjussi1
      @DJjussi1 18 днів тому

      ​@@moneymakingsim4314 she mentions it after he pulls it out. It just seems like she could have more thoughtful, transparent responses, e.g. "I got the idea about Vanta not from any of these startups i failed at... nope, I learned a lot about startups, but the idea actually came from when I was at the security team at dropbox, I finally went to work in corporate because i just needed money. I took the job in this team because i just liked the people and kind of thought security was interesting and somewhat well paying... and then I noticed this huge problem while there."
      She was also dancing around shaan's questions of "why security"... she could have just easily said, "I dont care about security, I just failed so much at startups that i wanted to win, and i wanted to win big - and this i believe is a big problem"
