It was such a big component that I thought the foundation triangle(knowledge, hustle and money) is missing a big component and that is how I  came up with the idea Foundation Diamond as mentioned in one of the slides, where Mindset is one precondition to the other ones.2) Question#3: Maybe because it is my main priority as well and I am biased toward it but a lot of them take this luxury of time and freedom to spend quality time with their family; That was one of the recurrent theme across the interviews.Also I find they are philanthropists and I think it is refreshing; Once you are not struggling for yourself and are not anymore in "survival mode" asking yourself how you are going to pay the kids' tuition or your mortgage, going full steam in the "rat race" everyday without getting the head up, that is when you start looking after others more; When I say others, I mean beyond the family and a lot of them were involved in the community; It was not forced, but natural to give back; I read that once you reach the summit, you need to throw back the rope for the other ones climbing" and I think it applied there; we see so many crazy things in this world, it is good to see there is still some good in us.3) Their story and Question#4: The other take away is that there is no magic recipe for success and behind every success story, there is some good things and some bad ones such as struggles, fear, desperation, doubt, failures and the reality is not just as rosy as we could imagine for people who are financially free; Most have reached it to a price that not everybody is willing to pay.

Again, I really don't think there's a wrong answer on this list, because I know people are moving to other TN markets too, but I feel like Chattanooga is one of those cities that's a diamond in the rough and hasn't reached the stage of being overgrown, like a lot of Nashville locals feel has happened to Nashville.
