On Scott's second interview with Cody Loughlin on Money Talkers, Scott talks about our decaying asset of time.

"How do we maximize that time and how do we create revenue when we are not working.

When we do work, let’s just say we are an employee, our maximum income is based on how much time we put into that job.

There is a value that you’re putting on it that is taking away from other things in your life, like family and recreation, but if you can create a job, you can create an industry that is making money when you’re sleeping, your time becomes more valuable." - Scott Krone
