Apr 12, 2018

In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin speak with economist, investor and best selling author, Jerry Robinson.

While Mind Pump’s focus is primarily on physical fitness, financial fitness is an area you should not ignore. There is a very good chance that much of what was discussed in this fascinating episode will be new information to you unless you pay attention to the world of finance. This could very well be the information you need to protect you and your family in the future.
