Short interview transcript excerpt where Scott Duffy (Entrepreneur magazine) asks Joel Brown about the influence of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich on his life. Joel recounts listening to the audio while working in Western Australia, explains that mindset (beliefs and conception) determined his success, and urges people to bet on themselves and pursue big visions.
Hi, my name is Scott Duffy with Entrepreneur magazine and S1 Media, and I'm here with Joel Brown at the Think and Grow Rich billboard. This is an amazing night. And share with me how has Think and Grow Rich affected your life? Hey, man. I remember when I was 22 years old, I was sitting in a car in the middle of the desert of Western Australia. I was working up north. This is crazy. Catching snakes and lizards and kangaroos, right? Because that's just what you do. That's, like, such a cliche thing. But seriously, I was.
With a construction company, and I remember taking myself out of the environment I was in and listening to Thinking Grow Rich, the audio version in that car. And it was taking me to a place of understanding that it's your mindset over everything. Right? And what you think, what you believe, and what you can conceive, you can achieve. And that was such a huge thing for me. When my back was against the wall, I realized that it's who you become in the process. It's not what you have. And that absolutely changed the game for me. And I just can't wait tonight. I think this is going to inspire so many people in the process. And I just really want to say, like, you got to place bets on yourself. Don't play small, play big. Put it all on the table. Pass your vision and immerse yourself in that. That's how you achieve success. Amazing. Hey, great to meet you, and good luck. Enjoy the movie. Thank you.
