Mark Yegge, the Wealth Architect, has spent his entire life learning and teaching people about wealth and the importance of a success mindset. He started investing when he was 12 – and made enough to buy his first car at 16. Mark started, and later sold, his Wall Street software company - the company that ushered in after-hours trading. He then “retired” at the age of 39, but not before growing the company from nothing to a $30-million dollar enterprise. Along the way, he garnered awards as Small Business of the Year, the Florida 100, and the Inc Magazine Fast 500 - recognizing the fastest growing companies in America.

Personally, he was recognized twice by Deloitte as an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist.

In addition to his achievements in business, Mark has authored books and courses including: Hacking Money, The Cash Flow Machine, Negotiate To Win-Win, The Secrets of Business, and others. Today, Mark manages several investment funds, is a Wealth Architect for 7- and 8-figure investors and provides wealth education through his learning ecosystem at Destiny Creation dot com.

Today's audible is all about artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing role it's playing in how we live and work.

Ultimately, we each have to ask ourselves, is our brand, our reputation, the kind of work that we do worth turning over to robots?

Are we destined to become a copy of a copy of a copy?

Formulas are great for chemical companies.

Recipes come in handy when you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before. Like a 3 layer orange lemon sunrise surprise cake. 

Step by steps are excellent ways of learning new, useful skills. 

But here’s the thing about formulas. 

Their success and execution depend on any number of variables that are often not in our control. 

Getting the exact same results as the original is possible but not common. 

Eventually you have to learn how to rely on your inner compass to get you where you want to go.
