Summary

FiveTaco is the easiest way to find software for solopreneurs, from productivity tools, to the latest AI tech to help run your business.

There's something truly inspiring about immigrants who overcome significant challenges to achieve remarkable success by coming to America. In today's episode, we're speaking with Patrick Bet-David, who is well on his way to becoming a billionaire.

We explore Patrick's remarkable journey, reflecting on growing up in war-torn Iran during the Islamic revolution, spending time in a refugee camp in Germany, and later serving in the US Military. From there, he transitioned to working for Morgan Stanley and TransAmerica before becoming their competitor and revolutionizing the entire insurance industry. Today, he owns 8 companies and recently sold one for a multi 9-figure sum.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • How unconditional love and unconditional pain has shaped his unbreaking resilience

  • How identifying your enemy can drive you to succeed

  • How he won in the competitive field of insurance sales

Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.
