my first career was in finance okay a wall street guy i got a hedge fund and loved it i thought it was a fun game to play but about seven years ago i decided yeah i said i want to play a different game when i grew up i just love games when i graduated from from college i said what am i going to do how could i make a living playing a game running a hedge fund is basically taking other people's money and trying to invest for them convincing them first of all convincing them that you have some sort of special edge you know something about markets that's special and valuable that's the hard part actually a lot of a lot of the hard thing is convincing people of that uh then once you've convinced them that yeah you have to prove it you have to find things find mistakes and markets and i believe that markets do make mistakes that markets are not rational we have humans as we all do we all make mistakes and uh i basically was playing a game and i did that for about 20 years this is weird i'm just gonna put in the driveway sorry our channels for people in business and so we're like what did people do to get these really nice houses are you serious i live in zilker you do so i was

austin i do tech recruiting how is that job it's not easy but it's lucrative and it's rewarding well i started off um with over a hundred thousand dollars of college debt so i started with less than zero and i went into banking and finance and knew that as soon as i paid my debt off that i'd had the gtfos okay i went over to working in tech and kind of found more of a call here how did you know it felt right when i was in the job i got better performance reviews than i ever did when i was in finance so nice yeah and i liked what i was doing i liked going to work every day so more than the banking stuff for sure banking man i yeah i can imagine yeah is it similar for you with physician is that something that you no my parents told me to do you have a son or daughter we have two daughters two daughters what advice do you have for them uh in their careers oh yeah yeah yeah whatever you're passionate about in school you should try to follow that through to your career because that's going to lead you in the right direction and you know study hard be competitive in school and education is the key to everything i love meeting more people that are not doing like i have a con i'm a youtuber or it's like there's many ways of doing well in this world and like this house is just phenomenal uh looks sick uh hello all right we're pulling up let's go we're youtubers we wanted to ask if there's any advice the governor has nope okay i forgot what i was even supposed to ask what do you do for a living is the governor what do you do for a living what does the governor do i wouldn't recommend just going up to random people's doors and asking them what they did for a living or how to get rich but i would think that one of the things i did during it isaac suggested it was that do you already have friends who are wealthy or do you have friends that have friends that are wealthy or they're friends of friends because if you're curious to learn about this stuff like i want to learn about real estate and i was renting from a guy and i said hey you seem like you're doing well in real estate can i take you out to lunch and from that i've actually worked i've worked with
