Eric started his career as a dentist during which time he successfully owned and operated four dental practices that he in turn sold to a private equity group. After increasing his net worth four times since the sale of his dental practice, and increasing his passive income from $7k to over six-figures per month, Eric wanted to share his knowledge and teach others how to do the same. Eric has now diversified his wealth and investments in commercial real estate, private equity, and VC funds and helps advise others on how to do the same.
