In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I take you inside my collection to talk about one of the most influential men in history… Andrew Carnegie. At one time, he was the richest man in the world, and his ideas shaped generations of entrepreneurs and thinkers, including Napoleon Hill. I share some rare books and artifacts from Carnegie, including a signed copy of Around the World and a first edition of The Gospel of Wealth.

But more importantly, I unpack the lessons from The Gospel of Wealth, an essay that had the biggest impact on me from Carnegie’s work. He believed that dying rich was a disgrace, and that wealth should be used to build opportunities for others, not just handed down. I contrast his philosophy with Ayn Rand’s views, and talk about how those ideas play out in business today, especially when it comes to philanthropy, profits, and building something that lasts.

Key Highlights:

  • How Andrew Carnegie influenced Napoleon Hill and Think and Grow Rich

  • The core message of The Gospel of Wealth and why it matters today

  • How I realized Ayn Rand’s philosophy and Carnegie’s approach to giving were actually similar and not contradicting each other

  • Why charity tied to strong offers works better than guilt-driven giving

  • Lessons from Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Vanderbilt on building generational wealth

By the end, you’ll see why Carnegie’s vision for wealth still applies to entrepreneurs today, and how you can use these lessons in your own business and life. And if you want my notes from this essay, you can find them below!
