This is for the folks out there who have a business that does at least $3 million a year in revenue. Because around this point, that's when you're able to look up after being heads down for years building your company, and you realize two things. One, you've done something great, but you're still a long way from your final destination. And two, you look around and you realize, I am all alone. I've outrun my peers. Which means you're now making $10 million decisions alone, by yourself. And that is when mediocrity can creep in. My company, Hampton, we solved this problem by giving you a room of vetted peers of other entrepreneurs who are going to hold you accountable, call you out on your nonsense, and help show you the way. Because the fact is, is that there's only a tiny number of people in your town who know what you're going through and who have been there. And they're hard to find. And if you can find them, it's hard to have this explicit time, this explicit place where you sit down where the rules are clear that we are here to help each other and to be one another's board of directors. The biggest risk is not failing. You have a company and it's working. You're gonna be fine. But the biggest risk is waking up 10 years from now and saying, shit, I barely grew in business and in life. And for people like you who are ambitious, wasted potential and regret is what we want to help you to avoid. We have made so many of these groups and we have a thousand plus members. And I know this stuff actually works, whether you work with Hampton or you get your own group on your own, but having a group like this, a group of people who you meet with in real life once a month, and it can change your life. It changed mine. And I know it will change yours. So check it out. Join Hampton.com he's only 23 years old

and started his own ad agency that now does millions of dollars. Some months he takes up to $150,000 plus in personal distribution and he spends $3,000 a month on Ubers. He has a six figure cash cushion just because he's terrified of losing his money. And this is his story. It's a super interesting one. I hope you like it. Welcome back to another episode of Money Wise. I'm Daniel Burke and today we have Josh Suggs on the podcast. We're very excited to chat with him and I really wanted to start kind of with the. The story of, of who he is, how he Grew up. Josh, I know you grew up in Connecticut. Westport. Right. I was curious if you could kind of walk us through, you know, what your house looked like, your family, your lifestyle. Tell me about, like, what money meant to you growing up and we'll start there.

Love it. Awesome. From Westport, Connecticut. Daniel, thanks so much for having me on. Obviously, big fan of the show. Really excited to be here. Throw it out there. But yeah, so honestly, I grew up for you. For people listening to this that know Westport, they'll know it's a super affluent town, very wealthy town. Sampar actually lived in Westport for some time before he came back to New York City. And it is a town of very successful parents, 100%. And they raised very successful kids, very driven kids, hard working kids, ambitious kids. And that was the culture that I grew up in. I think I was extremely fortunate to be around that environment. My friends were all significantly wealthier than me. Like, my, my mom made not millions of dollars. Like, I didn't know her exact income, but grew up in A4 affluent. We were definitely upper middle class, 100% compared to being in Westport. I did not feel well off at all. We didn't have a pool.
