REady2Scale - Real Estate Investing

"...and what we're able to do, now that we can observe specific markers, and pinpoint them and tag them in a dataset, is we think we can learn more about why some individuals seem to be accumulating more wealth, for example."

If you haven't yet heard the buzz around the concept of a "wealth gene", this is the episode for you! Join me and Kevin Thom for a fascinating discussion regarding his recent in-depth study into genetics and the predisposition for higher education levels and overall wealth accumulation. Does it sound too good to be true?

Listen in to learn what factors of nature vs nurture contribute to success, how genetic markers indicate very interesting trends amongst the wealthy, and where the bridge between economics, social sciences, and genetics is advancing. This is an episode guaranteed to expand your mind and provide thought provoking insights into how and why success can be achieved.

Key Takeaway:

Advancements in science and genetics are fascinating, but the great news is, they are not a defined destiny. While there may be some forces at play that can predispose some individuals with advantages over others, genetics are not the "make it or break it" factor for success.
