In this brief segment of a YouTube interview, Hannah Hammond recounts how reading Rich Dad Poor Dad at age 13 sparked her interest in entrepreneurship and real estate investing, providing her with a sense of mission and ongoing motivation. She emphasizes that the book taught her the fundamentals of financial literacy and shaped her career path. A second speaker reflects on the broader claim that books change lives, noting that many successful industry leaders are avid readers and expressing a personal resolve to become more intentional about reading to improve themselves.

I don't know what I would be if I didn't breed. That was all I had growing up. You know, I read Rich Dad Poor Dad at 13, and that's what taught me what entrepreneurship was and real estate investing and how important that was and gave me the, the mission and the motivation to do that and made me keep going.
I need to step up my game, honestly. Everybody my whole life has been telling me books changed my life. Tommy always says readers are leaders. Some of the smartest people in the industry and/or in business and people that I admire just in general are always readers. So I need to be way more intentional.
