Welcome back in today's episode. We will be reviewing Dan Bilzerian's book, The Setup.

I know what you're thinking, but there are some lessons here. Inside Dan Bilzerian's new book,

The Setup, he takes you on a roller coaster ride through his early childhood, Navy SEALBuds class,

on campus that we all probably assumed. Adding fuel to the fire, during Dan's childhood,

his dad was convicted of a

white-collar felony conviction, and he became the laughing stock of his community growing up.

Parents told their kids they could never hang out with Dan as the criminal behavior must run
