The Entrepreneur Mindset They Don’t Teach in School | DCL #55
In this DCL episode, we get brutally honest about entrepreneurship—discipline, delayed gratification, and the difference between goals you say you have and habits that actually match. We unpack why knowledge is the new currency (only if you apply it), the real grind behind real estate beyond Instagram highlights, and how to escape “comfortable” living that keeps you average.
You’ll hear stories about dropping out, getting kicked out, starting over, and the exact mindset shifts that turn losses into lessons. We talk mentorship, building character, faith, and why investing in yourself beats flexing every time.
