[04:17] – Rod went down in 2008 because he focused on the value of his real estate properties instead of their ability to cash flow

[06:20] – Entrepreneurial AH-HA Moment: When Rod was 18, he got his broker’s license. He had a belief that a successful realtor should have a 4-door car until he saw a Corvette. He put a picture of the Corvette on the visor of his Ford Granada. By his second year, he had the Corvette. He saw a Ferrari 308, put the photo on the visor of his Corvette, a couple of years later he had a Maserati (that looks like the Ferrari)
