Introduction
So I want to tell you what I learned when I had the opportunity to have a two-hour breakfast with Brad Jacobs a few weeks ago. So Brad Jacobs is without a doubt one of the most talented living entrepreneurs. In case you aren't familiar with him, he has started eight different billion-dollar or multi-billion-dollar businesses.
He's done over 500 acquisitions. He's raised over $30 billion. Now that number's even higher. He started his first company at 23, and he is 68 years old today.
And he's the most energetic person I think I've ever been around. I don't think he has any plans to retire or to stop doing deals and to stop building companies or really any plans to slow down at all. So about a year ago, he published his life story, which is called How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. It was one of my favorite books that I've read in the last year.
