E37 | From Bad Attitude and Minimum Wage to Six Figures at 27—Brandon Durkee

Brandon Durkee didn’t care if he got F’s in school. He describes himself as a “lost soul” during high school because he didn’t know what he wanted to be. He flunked college, worked a series of entry-level jobs and always had issues with his bosses. Convinced he’d never be a success because he didn’t have a college degree, his drinking and partying dug him into a financial hole.  

 

Although he hated school, he LOVED learning. As contradictory as that may seem, especially given his bad grades, he learned his way up the corporate ladder. How did he turn his life around and eventually made six figures? Listen in as he shares his story with Jonaed in this episode.
