I got very lucky and had a lottery ticket at joining Bigger Pockets as an early employee and watching that explode and being able to be the CEO at age 27 and having that ride for seven years, that's something a lot of people don't get in their entire careers and I had it as a very fortunate opportunity very early on.
Scott Trench
So I'm by no means saying that this is a realistic or attainable or repeatable path.
