About this episode
This week’s guest is the legendary MASTER P, and I don’t think I’ve ever had a guest who has dispensed more WISDOM on so many topics in such a short amount of time. Grab a pen and paper before you listen, and get ready to be repeatedly blown away because this episode is easily one of the most quote-worthy shows I’ve ever done. “You don’t learn from wins; you learn from losses. You’ve got to start at the bottom, go be the janitor or start in the mail room. Don’t cheat your way to anything…and don’t make excuses.” Percy Miller grew up in poverty before rising to fame as rapper Master P and the owner of NO LIMIT RECORDS, which he started when he was only 19 YEARS OLD. His fascinating life is about OVERCOMING THE ODDS to impact millions of people with his music, entrepreneurial ventures, and as an activist focusing on economic empowerment through business ownership and an emphasis on family and education. His story has so many chapters filled with POSITIVE LESSONS, and he wastes no time dropping great advice for young people about LOVING WHAT YOU DO as a path to becoming an entrepreneur.
