A mentor told Bridger Pennington that most millionaires aren't particularly smart; they just picked better vehicles like house-flipping or real estate. He recently met two billionaires who seemed completely ordinary, which reinforced the idea that wealth comes from strategic choices, not genius.

There's a mentor I had that told me that, Bridger, there are millionaires that are total idiots. Guys that wake up, they have a mustard stain on their shirt, they can't even zip up their pants, and they make millions of dollars a year. We all know people like that, and you go, how do they do that? A lot of times they just picked a better vehicle than me and you. They picked a vehicle that it's a lot easier to make money in, even if you're not that sharp. This guy's example, it was flipping houses and doing real estate, and that made a total shift in my brain. Like, it's possible. I met 2 billionaires this week, and the surprising thing is, is they're just like me and you. One of the best quotes my entire life, that millionaires and billionaires are just like me and you.
