    This exchange is with Chris Larsen, Owner of All Ball Sports Cards and More, explores his journey from being a child collector in the '90s, bonding with his father over card shows, to leaving the hobby during the "junk wax era" and rekindling his interest in 2018. This re-entry was spurred by personal life changes and his children's growing interest, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown when the hobby saw a resurgence. Chris discusses setting up his shop to fill a local void for card enthusiasts, detailing the process from location scouting to building out the space. The conversation covers the transformation of card collecting into an investment landscape, with grading cards becoming a pivotal practice, and highlights iconic cards like the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan and the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. They delve into current market dynamics, the influence of breakers, and how the speculative nature of collecting mirrors gambling, with some cards fetching substantial sums. Chris also touches on the unique market of WWE cards and predicts ongoing innovation in the industry, particularly with Fanatics' upcoming NBA licensing. He expresses his personal desire for owning a 1952 Mickey Mantle card, symbolizing the pinnacle of collectible value, and ends by promoting his shop, offering a discount to podcast listeners.

Tim shares his journey from serving in the Air Force and working odd jobs, including mowing lawns, to becoming a thriving real estate investor and influencer. He talks about the importance of visualizing success, the difference between daydreaming and manifesting, and how to build focused action toward your goals. Tim also dives into social media strategy, why consistency is critical, and how to embrace discipline as a muscle you can train.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Daydreaming vs. Manifesting: Tim explains how visualizing your goals and taking action leads to success, while daydreaming often leads to stagnation.
    • The Power of Curiosity: Tim’s natural curiosity helped him learn from business owners and investors, fueling his own entrepreneurial journey.
