A billionaire answered his phone at 3 AM on the first ring. The speaker noticed billionaires differ from millionaires in how they treat time as precious, respond instantly, and obsess over massive problems like aging and space travel rather than incremental gains.
So here's the difference between billionaires and millionaires. So I've met a handful in my life, and for the most part, they're humble people. And I remember a couple of years ago, I was at a conference and had met a billionaire, and he wanted to talk. A couple days later, I reached out and he said, hey, just call me. And so I called him, and not even one ring later, he picked up the phone and we got straight to it. He was coming up with different solutions, different ideas, and he just wanted to solve big problems. This guy had sent rockets to this guy before and, you know, he was thinking about how we can solve aging as a disease, right? And so I just was very motivated by his vision and his mission. And here's the other thing, he picked up the phone at 3:00 AM his time. And so time matters a lot to billionaires. They move very quickly. Communication is really quick. They think about solving big problems and they're also creative problem solvers.
