They indeed tell them that it isn't going to be easy, but instead of condemning them to lose they inspire them to win. 

The content is educational, inspirational and entertaining, so many thanks to Josh and Brandon for leading these great conversations. 

How many people that you knew personally became inspired to do what you are doing.

@ jack baczek  @ Jerry W.Jack-I hope some of the posts and threads you read provided some additional education,inspiration, or motivation.

Hello,First, thank you, Josh and Brandon, for such inspiration and a place to learn.

Rich Dad Poor Dad inspired me too, I would second Account Closed's recommendations (especially The Richest Man in Babylon), and also, Rich Dad's Guide to Investing.

@Angel NegreteWelcome Angel and thanks for the words of inspiration.

The BP Podcasts have been a major source of inspiration & learning for me.Over the last 4 years @Joshua Dorkin & @Brandon Turner have hosted 216 episodes where the amazing guests have shared a wealth of knowledge for all of us to learn from.I kept looking for ways to quickly find episodes which were related to a specific topic I was exploring so that I could have marathon learning sessions which were focused on that particular topic.The best I could find was this link, but it doesn't seem to have been update in a long time.So I put together an organized and categorized Google Sheet of the podcasts (The themes are based on the titles, I'll try to refine the themes as I listen to them). 

It's a lofty goal, but lame goals don't motivate, inspire, or drive!

Your story is both educational and inspiring.
