Making the Ultimate Investment   Take away: The importance of developing a mindset of abundance, differentiation, and gratitude, while consistently investing in personal growth, in order to design a passionate and purposeful life aligned with their values and ability to build generational wealth.   Money Learnings: Mark's father had a heart attack when Mark was in high school, which severely impacted the family's finances. He realized his parents lived paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to "keep up with the Joneses" and not saving much money. When his father's career ended due to a heart attack, their money dried up quickly. This experience taught Mark that his parents had poor money values, and he wanted to ensure he never ended up in that type of uncertain financial situation himself or put his own future kids through that.   Bio: Mark B.
