Payback Time Podcast Payback Time is a podcast for investors. The goal of this podcast is to help make investing approachable and easy to understand. We will interview beginner and experienced investors and ask them to share stories on how they got started, what challenges they faced, what mistakes they made, and what strategy works for them today. The overall objective is to provide you with a roadmap that helps you become a better investor. Brian Bogert We all have fought or are fighting a battle right now. The question is, how do you not only get through it but embrace it. Downtimes in life are not meant to last, they are meant to prepare you for something better. My next guest shares his story of losing his arm at a young age and thereafter creating a life of purpose. If you’re an investor or entrepreneur who’s looking to change their outlook, elevate their expectations, and generate peace of mind at the same time, this episode is for you.
