"I just enjoy being different" Adrian Adrian is a real estate investor very close to his goal of financial independence. We had a conversation about gaining confidence, finding your purpose, wearing speedos! and being yourself. How did Adrian gain confidence to go door knocking? He took me with him door knocking and it didn't feel as scary as it sounds until I did it alone!! And a super bonus; what books did he give his wife to convince her to escape the rat race? I met Adrian a few years ago at a toastmasters club in Plant City FL. I have learned a lot from Adrian and am grateful to have him on the show.
