This week, we continue building the Skyscraper of Wealth. Specifically, we're talking about refinements and efficiencies—what we call tenant improvements.

Also, Andrew's kids do not like the mac and cheese.

After last week's detour, we return to our discussion of the Skyscraper of Wealth. This week, we talk about walls, roofs, and other structural necessities.

Also, Brett switched back to an iPhone.

We take a break from our Skyscraper of Wealth discussion to unpack the hows and whys of Brett's first contract hire. Andrew then explains in painful detail why he needs another person.

Also, Andrew's love is totally conditional.

Once you've start building, you'll need to install some protections and tools to make sure you stay on track. This week, we discuss outfitting your Skyscraper of Wealth with scaffolding.

Also, Andrew is going to replace his barbecues and loves 1-800-GOTJUNK because he, like Brett, loves throwing things away.

We've done a lot of preliminary work. Now you're ready to start doing actual work. More specifically, the foundational work.

Get your shovel—we're breaking ground.

This week, we continue our discussion of the Skyscraper of Wealth. Now that you have a concept for what you want to build and you've validated your idea, you start designing the business using what we're calling Architectural Drawings.

Before you build your skyscraper, you need to check with the neighbors and, possibly, the authorities.

Today, we talk about how your artist's rendering encounters a cold, unfeeling world.

Also, Andrew cuts a hole in the side of his house.

Before we begin doing anything, we need to figure out two things:

What we're doing, exactly
Why we're doing it

That's this week's discussion.

This week, your boys are embarking on a new... thing.

We're going to spend the next several episodes discussing The Skyscraper of Wealth. We've touched on this in the past, but we've decided to dive deep for the next few weeks. And we're calling this Season 3.

Today's episode is a survey of the three types of businesses we'll be covering, how they're different, and how the experience growth. We call these three types of businesses "The Trifecta."

[Editor's note: This episode is out late. Uncle Brett regrets the error.]

In this episode, your boys discuss the notion that, if everything is good, you wait for something to come along to ruin it—and how to deal with that fear.
