What is Up SharkNation!
Today Luke and Mark sit down with Chris McGale, Author of "Million Dollar Irishman", to chat about his amazing life story, from orphan and boxing champion to star financial player in Merrill Lynch.
Biggest takeaways from this episode:
1. It doesn't matter where you start in life or the hand you are dealt, a mixture of determination and luck will often determine where you end up.
2. Work in an industry that has tremendous upside. Chris says financial services is still a great industry to earn big money.
3. Gamble if you have an information edge, if you know more about horses than anyone else but if you don't back yourself, the knowledge is useless.
4. Take action, don't just read about a subject. Chris got his first job in investment banking because he was trading shares before it was poplar, the bosses in UIB were surprised Chris had real experience before he even started.
5. Look for an "angle". Chris built his book of clients in London from Ireland, and this proved to be a real advantage.
6. Aim for big wins, "I wouldn't pick up the phone for less than $1,000,000" was something Chris talks about in his book. Don't waste your time chasing small outcomes. Every day counts.
