QUOTES

John's advice for 20-somethings on decision-making: "What I see with the truly happy people generally, is they always consider their future self. 'The decisions I'm making today, where are they gonna lead to? What will life for me be like when I'm 30 years old?'"

John on creating passive income and why you need to start early: "Whatever you have extra beyond what you live on, instead of buying things that don't make you any money, try to put it in places that create this snowball to start to get to the point where maybe the 40 or 45 or the 50-year old you. Maybe that thing is big enough where you don't need any income anymore. You don't have to work a job to make income because your snowball is doing this."
