"Robert Kiyosaki Was Wrong"- Jay Harris

In this episode, one of my students, Jay Harris joined me as my special guest. He is the Founder and Managing Director of The Maintenance Boys, a repairs and maintenance solution for commercial facilities, and Managing Director of The Space Invaders, which offers renovation of office spaces.

Jay has a business mind and together with his wife, Katherine, they have built their own reno business and are now renovating their family home. We will also go over why Jay strongly believes Robert Kiyosaki was wrong for saying, "Your house is a liability, not an asset".
