What if the entire point of building a coaching or course business wasn't to work harder, scale faster, or stuff more clients into your calendar… …but to buy back your time and design a life you actually want to live?

In this episode of the Expert Edge, Colin sits down with Justin Donald, author of The Lifestyle Investor and the guy people call the "Warren Buffett of passive income," to talk about the uncommon path to financial freedom as a coach or entrepreneur.

Justin breaks down how he went from grinding nonstop to creating a portfolio of simple, low-risk investments that allowed him to retire in his thirties and how YOU can start thinking the same way, even if you're not an "investor type."

Inside the episode, you'll learn:

Why most entrepreneurs accidentally build themselves into a job (and how to reverse it fast).
The simple rule Justin uses to evaluate every single investment opportunity, so he doesn't waste time or lose money.
How to create leverage inside your business so it becomes an asset… not another obligation.
Why freedom is built by design, not by income level (you don't need millions to start).
The mindset shift that changes everything once you see your business as one part of a bigger wealth-building system.

If you're tired of hustling your way to burnout, or you've realized your "freedom business" isn't giving you much freedom, this episode will completely reshape how you think about your time, money, and long-term strategy.

Listen now and learn how to build a business that funds your life, without consuming it.
