Memorable Quotes:
“Most people say they want passive income, and that's great, but what they really end up wanting is either time freedom or geographical freedom or both. We didn't necessarily [say] ‘Yeah, we're gonna get 20 doors, we're gonna get passive income, we're gonna do our thing’, when in reality, having that 20 doors is not nearly as passive as people think.” - Alex Breshears
“You don't have to have everything planned out, like every little step and nook and cranny. You just need to know the next couple of steps.” - Alex Breshears
