WEALTH CREATION MADE EASY

The Name
In prison, everyone gets a nickname. When I began teaching classes, “Indian Joe” came up to me to ask a question. By way of background, “Indian Joe” was constantly in trouble, spending significant time in the disciplinary unit. He asked, "Are you the guy teaching the new business class?" I said, “Yes.” He then asked, "Is it true that you went to Harvard?" “Yes.” He tilted his head to the side, gave me a skeptical look and asked with a quizzical expression, "Does that mean you are some kind of Roadside Scholar?" I answered, “Yes, I think it does." From then on, I was The Roadside Scholar.
