“So how much does a guy like that make?”

“$60-70 million a year.” I said.

“Chump change.”

Can you imagine thinking that 60-70 million is chump change? What kind of person thinks that much money is chump change?Mr. X

I just had a breakfast meeting with Brian, founder and owner of X Properties Group.

I was supposed to meet with Brian on Thursday but I got bumped. Do you who bumped me? Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton bumped me. How cool is that? Brian said he would talk to Bill about being in my book, but I have to wait until after the election. Think I can wait? Yes…I’ll wait. Brian is also friends with Mikhail Gorbachev. He said he’d speak to him too! A little problem though, things are a little touchy in the Soviet Union. Wonder why?

Brian didn’t graduate from any ivy league school, nor any MBA program. He graduated from the school of hard knocks, the kind I like best. And you know what he said to me?

“Thanks for coming out this morning and for the hustle.”

“What do you mean?”

“My Mom hustled too and I have a lot of respect for women who have a family and hustle. I’m like you, hustling everyday. “

How can you not love a guy like Brian X? He said he’d refer me to a few more of his friends. Now that’s a great guy.
