At the end of the day, you will end up with more money in your pocket otherwise.” “When I was forcing my body into doing these hard things, the mindset got right and when my mindset got right, I became a better dad, a better husband, a better business, I could communicate better – everything just got better.” “What I would highly recommend is figuring out one strategy in one market that is scalable and dive deep into it.” Links Instagram: Brady McDonald https://www.instagram.com/brady.mcdon… Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/
