“If you don't have a plan for your money, it will fall under the hands of someone who does have plans for your money. They have not only plans for your money but some of the smartest people on the planet whose full time job is to figure out how to extract your money from your hands and put it into theirs. And they have some of the most sophisticated equipment in the form of AI on the planet to do that as well. There's a war with an unprecedented level of sophistication that is being waged against you as a consumer every single day to extract your money from your bank account and to put it in somebody else's.” – Mike Dillard

Power Quotes From The Show
The Key to Making Money
“The key to making money is to forget everything outside of you. What skill do you have that you can master that will solve some of these problems and then how do you solve the problem for some of these people at scale?” – Mike Dillard
Our Biology Is Used Against Us
“The media and corporations have basically weaponized their knowledge of our biology against us which has made it really difficult for people to have mass wealth here in our country.” – Mike Dillard
You Need to Have a Plan for Your Money
“If you don't have a conscious plan for your money that means it's not being appreciated, respected, and looked after. It will go to somebody else who does appreciate it, respect it, desire it, and want it.” – Mike Dillard
