John Wetmore discusses why taking financial risks matters. He talks about spending more as you earn more, and how he gets bored every three years and moves on to new ventures instead of staying comfortable.

As you were talking about what kind of money you put into stuff, someone said to me yesterday, and I'm going to say it to you kind of the way— I'm just going to change it to your name. He said if he were talking to you, he would have said you can spend that money because you're making a bunch. And my argument is you're making a bunch because you're willing to take those types of risks. Can you go back, like the broke days, and kind of looking back, kind of tell how that transition happened, or your big break, or when you, when you like, oh dang, I ain't going backwards anymore. Like, do you have that story somehow?
See, I've been one that, uh, we touched on this a little bit before we started, but I've always been one that after about 3 years I get bored. I'm gonna go do something else.
