Short conversational clip (Terry Rice and another speaker) arguing that ownership — particularly of small, "boring" businesses like laundromats or car lots — is a more reliable route to financial freedom than pursuing high-status but cash-poor tech startups. The speakers emphasize that small businesses can compound income over time, be purchased to cover one’s salary, involve lower risk, and that ownership creates independence compared with a cultural shift toward renting rather than owning.

What's sexy? A big bank account. Just look at how much hotter Jeff Bezos got. Pre billions versus post billions. Being rich and broke is much worse than being non known and rich.
So let's, let's keep digging in here because again, like, you know, everyone wants to have like this sexy app, so on, so forth, and they're ignoring like the laundromat around the corner, which could give them the lifestyle they're looking for just a different path to the lifestyle. And I think that's the issue. It's like it's ego, ego, ego.
But I think increasingly people are realizing like, oh yeah, I would actually rather own a bunch of car lots than I would own an app and call myself founder but actually be broke. Which is what a lot of people are. Right. I think the thing that is bigger for people is they don't realize one, how much money you can make in small business compounded over time. And then they don't realize two, that it's actually possible for them to buy a business, A business that is big enough to cover their salary and have future potential.
I like that. And to your point about risk, again, like buying a boring, ordinary business is less risky. Right?
It's that I think that money is the key to freedom. And we are much harder to push around when we have capital and we are more free. So we have, we have very rapidly gone from a nation of owners to a nation of renters in every sense of the word. And I think ownership equals freedom.
