[01:01] – Brian is a serial entrepreneur who has “tried it all”

[04:10] – Brian approaches property owners who look for tenants and pitches his idea of using Air BnB
[06:10] – Worst Entrepreneurial Moment: In his 20’s Brian had fast success in real estate and became a millionaire. When the market turned south and collapsed, so did his business. He became a ‘negative millionaire’ with about $1.3M in debt. He lost properties (including his home) and got to a point where he had to gather loose change to buy a burger

[10:46] – The mindset shift was what made Brian come back to where he was and achieve more than he did previously
[11:31] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: Brian went to a marketer’s event where people were sharing their successes. He approached as many millionaires at the event as he could to ask them for advice and encouragement. It fired Brian up, and when he went home, things started to improve for him

[13:08] – “One or two connections can completely change your life”

- What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? – “Model those who have come before you; model those you want to have a success like”
