Wholesaling Inc with Brent Daniels
Find distressed properties for pennies on the dollar and turn them for huge profits!

My guest today is Elizabeth Samet, a professor of literature at West Point. She has a new book out, the annotated Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant.

- Why moral courage is so important to leadership
- How a unique mix of humility and confidence can drive your career
- How remaining calm under pressure can have a dramatic impact on your leadership and investing
- Why writing style – to write so plainly that you can never be misunderstood – can help your career
- The courage to take calculated risks
- The importance of making decisions with the information you have
