In this episode, Devin explains that what separates him in the top 1 percent is his patience and long-term thinking in a world obsessed with instant gratification. He created a clear vision early on for what his business would look like once fully built, including a target of 10,000 locations by age 57. Devin stresses that real success cannot be compressed into a single year and that thinking in decades is the real competitive advantage. He also shares the biggest risk he ever took, rolling his first million in cash back into the business at age 26 and continuing to reinvest every year. Devin believes equity and wealth are synonymous and that holding equity, doing the dirty work, and refusing to sell too early is what compounds long-term wealth.
