Most people think studying ends when school does. But what if the real secret to freedom—financial, spiritual, and personal—comes down to how well you study?

In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with entrepreneur Clay Clark to talk about why studying isn’t just for academics—it’s for anyone who wants to break free from the system. Clay shares how waking up at 4AM, reading obsessively, and applying what he learns helped him go from his parents’ basement to building a business empire.

You’ll hear how Clay’s Tulsa-based business community gathers every morning at 5AM to study, grow, and apply what they learn—not because they have to, but because they want to live free.

Whether you're stuck in a 9-5, trying to build a business, or just looking for more purpose, this conversation will show you that study is the tool that unlocks everything.

Because in a world that’s changing fast, ignorance isn’t just dangerous—it’s expensive.

Please read carefully.

This is not financial advice.

You may be asking, “what does that mean?”

Let me explain…

Do not just do what I, my team or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.

YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity or how much money you can afford to lose.

We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.

Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.

Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.
