In this reflective and brutally practical episode, Eric reveals the seven lessons that turned his messy, uncertain 20s into the foundation for multiple million-dollar businesses. From mastering high-value skills to buying back his time, building quietly, learning real money math, and valuing relationships, Eric walks through the decisions, mentors, and mindset shifts that created his construction, real estate, and digital-product success. He shares vulnerable stories—like missing his aunt's final moments due to work—that reshaped his priorities and led him to build a life centered on freedom, not just income. This episode is a blueprint for anyone who wants to avoid wasted years, build wealth intentionally, and design a life that actually feels good.
