The Ride Podcast: Recent Episodes
Erik White
Follow me as I embark on this journey to build something that brings great value to the world. We see these All-Star business gurus that show their financial success. It seems so marvelous, but what isn’t shown is the 4 in the morning alarm, the 16 hour work day, the endless rejection and ridicule, the pressure from others to stop, the headaches that come from gaining traction and so much more. So start at ground zero with me, and then let’s go change the world. Hop in and enjoy the ride!

You just won $1,000,000. The question is..what is the best investment you could make? I don’t know your personal situation, but I do know one thing. You can’t go wrong by investing yourself. Read a book, join a gym, learn to meditate, pick a mentor’s brain and so on. All of these bring a lifetime of value that you simply can’t put a price on.
What kind of work goes on behind the scenes? How much activity is there? Out of all the things I need to do today, what is the one thing that would make today a success if I completed it?
