I used to believe the key to success was working harder than everyone else.

And for a while, that served me. But over time, I started asking different questions—like what would it look like to build a life where work didn’t come at the expense of family, faith, or freedom?

This episode is a little different, as I’m the one being interviewed. Preston Brown, host of the Problems to Profit Podcast, pulls out the biggest lessons I’ve learned, from selling newspaper subscriptions in middle school to investing in private deals that create passive income and real-time freedom today.

We get into why I prioritize passive income over net worth, and how relationships and masterminds have opened the door to some of my biggest opportunities.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1.) How one passive income deal replaced my wife’s income—and how that one move kickstarted our journey to financial freedom.

2.) My personal framework for allocating surplus income into deals that create long-term freedom.

3.) Why I created The Lifestyle Investor Mastermind—an exclusive community giving members access to the same deals and strategies used by the ultra-wealthy.
