Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Justin Donald (https://x.com/justindonald). In this episode, I sit down with the author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Lifestyle Investor, to discuss his unique approach to wealth creation. Justin shares how he transitioned from being a "slave" to his sales business at Cutco to achieving financial freedom by investing in passive income assets.

We dive into his early success with mobile home parks, his "flywheel" strategy for real estate, and why he currently spends up to $500,000 a year on masterminds and private coaching. From buying dog training companies to scaling home maintenance businesses with VC backing, Justin explains how to stop "buying a job" and start buying back your time.

We also touch on his commitment to impact, with all his book proceeds going to fight human trafficking.

Questions This Episode Answers:

1. How can you achieve financial freedom before you even become a millionaire?

2. Why are mobile home parks considered a premier niche for passive income and scale?

3. What is the difference between survival income, lifestyle income, and earned income?

4. How do you use a "cash cow" business to fund a diversified portfolio of private investments?

5. Why are masterminds and peer groups the ultimate shortcut to business growth and deal flow?

Enjoy the conversation!
