The, the reason I didn't like my job, it was because of the environment. And I had unrealistic expectations. If someone who, somebody would just would've told me, Zach, hey, just sit here, work your tail off for 5 years, get developed into something. You know, I would, I would've had a different perspective. But there's all this, I call it, I, I heard this name, it's called wealth porn. You know, there's all these social media. Influencers out there that are flashing their stuff and I made this much and grow my— join my program in the next 3 months, you could be this and that. Yeah. It totally sets people up to fail. And so, you know, realize it's gonna take some time.
Why do people fail?
Because they're scared to death. That's— I mean, I've looked at this over and over and over again. And there's this beautiful book out there. My, actually my coach and I were just talking about this cuz we're putting on a big, a big retreat down here in Colombia, South America. And you know, we're charging money for it and it's, it's a considerable amount of money. And so it's like new for us to do that. And it's not about business, it's about awaken your purpose. Fear, right? Well, how do you mitigate the fear? How do you conquer the fear? Well, you walk through it. There's no other way. There's absolutely no other way.
Yeah, and you're making me think of some, some biblical terms when you say something like that. Like, the Bible—
you want to learn how to live your life, go read the Bible. I mean, all those, uh, I mean, there's so many, so much wisdom from these, from those, you know, not just the Bible, but from any biblical, you know, there's lots of different religions. Yeah, they were literally trying to tell you how to survive life, right?
So here go my last question for you, Zach, man. I'm gonna let you get on to your busy day, man. I appreciate you coming on. Uh, so tell us, Zach, what are some of your future endeavors besides the one you just told us about that's happening in Colombia and your game?
I could, I could spend the rest of the day creating with them. So here's my vision. I want to create a college campus for entrepreneurs, for business owners, for, for people that want to live an amazing life. I don't care if it's a job, I don't care if it's— I don't care how you make your money. I want you to live an empowered life in all aspects of your life. And I want to have personal development, I want to have finance. I've created this business model: finance, operations, sales, and marketing. I want to teach people the skills of creating a life how to set, create a purpose. Like, all of these life skills that I've had to pay a lot of money to learn, I wanna— and I see it, you know, just like Indiana University right up the road from you, but it, it being an online campus, it's like, oh, what, what course are you taking? What are you training and developing yourself in all around the ultimate thing called your purpose, right? What is your purpose here? And then help them fulfill their purpose. And so I want to build actual schools in churches all around the world, like physical ones. I think myself—
yeah, to be honest with you, I'm gonna check it out, man. So, uh, Zach, man, it was cool having you on, man. I appreciate you having on the show. Uh, any other points you want to give us before you leave, man? Man, a lot of wisdom, man.

And the first, all you really need is the first 3, but the other 2 is, so it's the principles that I live my life by. It's the principles that we've built Learn and Grow Rich by. And the first one is intention. Why are you, why are you here? Why are you listening to this podcast? What are you doing with your life? The second one is personal responsibility.

That means do the right thing, whatever it is. Do the right thing by the people that follow you and by the people in your community, and you will live an extraordinary life. Fourth one is dream big.
