Ep 18 - Making Number-Based Strategies in Investing with Mitch Hankins The Art of Winning

    • Entrepreneurship

Today’s guest is Mitch Hankins. Mitch grew up in the Netherlands with an American father and a Dutch mother and he enlisted in the USAF when he was around 20. He had always felt lost, especially in Europe, and he knew that he had to move to the US. Ever since that decision, his life has been slowly unfolding in the right direction. He spends most of his time reading, in nature, and working. His main source of income is his remote programming job, which he loves, but he is building multiple income streams with real estate and paper assets, and supplementing his income with options trading. In 10 years, he sees himself receiving a hefty cash flow each month and spending a large portion of that money helping others.
