That's when God become my God!
I knew God was real when He showed up while I was in a garage apartment going through a divorce. A song by Hillsong came on that said, “All I need is You, all I need is You, Lord.” In that moment, I realized that even though I loved my wife and missed my kids, what I needed most was Him. He met me right where I was, at rock bottom, and I’ve carried that truth ever since - that no matter what I go through, He will always be there. That’s when God became truly my God.

Who you marry shapes your life!
One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in life is who you marry, because that person will shape what your life looks like going forward. There has to be chemistry and attraction, but more importantly, you want someone kind, selfless, and easy to live with - someone who puts their own needs aside when needed, and supports you the same way you support them. You want a partner who is all-in, someone you can build a life with and have fun with at the same time. Also the most important component in life is faith. And if you have faith in your life, you must be equally yoked - because without that alignment, it will never work.

Family is who shows up for you
Those people who are with you through the thick and thin, those people who are rooting for you no matter what, that's called family. The other ones are called blood. There's a difference.

The wealthiest people often built concentrated bets, not diversified portfolios.

Ben Pogue - Quotes
Less diversification, more focus
If you look at the wealthiest people in the world, they had a very consolidated portfolio. They went all-in on just one or two things and worked really well.

Play to win, not to lose!
Are we playing not to lose, or are we playing to win? We’re here to win. That means not doing what everyone else does, not checking boxes—but being different, being a game-changer, and being a trailblazer.

Ben Pogue - Quotes
People will run through walls for you
People want to know that you care for them. It's okay to have high expectations and push the envelope - but they have to know you'll be there for them. If they know that, they'll run through walls for you.

You can never, ever make more time. Time is your most precious commodity. In some ways, a private jet is a time machine.

James W. Keyes - Quotes
The three pillars of business success
Three things: Cash - cash flow is critical to any business. It's your oxygen, watch your debt and your payables. Communications - if your team doesn't know where you're going, they can't execute; uncertainty is a killer. And Character - in times of trouble, you will be tested. Character is what ultimately separates a winner from a loser.

The corporate entrepreneur
You don't have to start a company to be an entrepreneur. You can build, innovate, and succeed inside a corporate environment. I call it being a corporate entrepreneur. It offers more structure than starting your own business, and for me, it was the perfect way to think and act like an entrepreneur within a company.
