Freedom Not Flex: A Playbook for Cashflow & Family Time (with Justin Donald)

If growth has come with a hidden bill—your time, your presence, your peace—this episode gives you a better plan.

Today I'm joined by Justin Donald—Lifestyle Investor—long-time friend and FRD brother. What I love about Justin: he plays the game for freedom, not flex.

Inside the episode:

• Cashflow First: A clear path to cover core bills with cash-producing assets so your calendar can breathe again.

• Every Dollar Works: Why mentors, masterminds, and pros are investments—when you demand ROI on knowledge, not just deals.

• Owner/Operator Reset: Use the "take a year off" thought experiment to surface missing systems, leadership, and SOPs.

• The Allocation Reality: How the wealthiest tilt toward low-risk, steady plays—and keep only a small slice for high-risk shots.

• Naval's Four Levers: Add people, capital, code, or media so your upside isn't limited to your hours.

• Teach Without Preaching: Spark money wisdom at home—so your kids inherit a mindset, not just assets.
