Wisdom is a word that has different definitions depending on whom you ask. Some define wisdom as knowledge gained through experience, while others view it as principles and beliefs governing one's life and behavior.
In today's episode, Nate sits down with Jake to talk about how wisdom guides them to a better life by avoiding foolish choices and impulsive decisions, and the importance of making wise decisions when it comes to your finances, your career, and even your personal relationships.
Jake turned his passion for engineering into a successful career, but he's never lost sight of the fact that a balance between doing what you love and making money while doing so is possible. This belief led him to start Doorward—a social real estate start-up that connects beginners and experts in the industry for a more hassle-free transaction.
