176: From Broke Salesman to $150M Real Estate Mogul with Dave Allred - 8FE

What does it actually look like to buy back your time and design a life around freedom, not just income?

While most people chase money, today’s guest, Dave Allred, chases freedom—and he’s built a $150M real estate empire doing exactly that. Dave is the managing partner and CEO of Axia Partners, a seasoned investor, public speaker, and executive business coach. Dave shares how he went from commission-only sales to managing $150M in real estate assets, all while never losing a single dollar of investor capital.

If you’re grinding hard but still feel stuck, this episode will help you rethink how wealth, time, and intention can work together.
