Real estate investor and author Brandon Turner left his role as the host of the Bigger Pockets Podcast, the most downloaded real estate podcast in the world with well over 100 million downloads. It was not the easiest thing to do, with how the podcast and his wealth-building path had intertwined for the last decade. But taking a break from podcasting has made him feel the most aligned as he now focuses on his roles as a father, first and foremost, and as the founder and managing member of Open Door Capital.

Mick Ebeling is an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive producer, and founder of Not Impossible Labs, a company dedicated to changing the world through creating technology for the sake of humanity.
Winner of the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year award, Mick has also been listed in the Time Magazine Top Invention of the Year category – two times.
First, Mick and his team invented the EyeWriter, a low-cost device that enables paralyzed individuals to communicate and create art using only eye movements. Conceptualized in Mick’s living room, they originally developed the device for a paralyzed graffiti artist that enabled him to draw for the first time in 7 years.
Then Mick’s team went on to develop a 3-D-printed arm for Daniel, a kid whose arm got amputated from the war in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, enabling Daniel to feed himself for the first time in 2 years.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Notable quotes from the Episode:
"Technology for the sake of humanity – make technology that makes the world a better place that helps people."
“At the beginning of every project, we always start by asking the question, who's the one? Nail this, and then we can open up the aperture and help more people.”
“What happens when you just double down on trying to help someone? Look at what comes out of that.”
