Capitalism.com with Ryan Daniel Moran

Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. After growing up without a permanent father figure in his life, he felt the need to create a community and resource for men to become better. As entrepreneurs it is all too easy for us to track the progress on our bank accounts, or even our fitness results, but improving our personal relationships and stepping into responsibility is not so easy to measure. In a culture that is becoming increasingly soft, in this episode we talk about the value of resilience and grit.

In this episode I talk about how I created wealth in my own life and became financially free through investing.

Today marks the first official show of The One Percent. In this episode I talk about searching for greater meaning outside of just being successful in business. I tracked my progress as an entrepreneur for 5 years under Freedom Fast Lane but this is the show for the One Percent bold enough create change, pursue wealth, find freedom, take control of their health, and reach their full potential. I am an entrepreneur, investor, a father, and a skeptic who is on a journey to meet the world's highest achievers - those who live in the one percent of all aspects of life.

This is the show for the One Percent bold enough create change, pursue wealth, find freedom, take control of their health, and reach their full potential. My name is Ryan Daniel Moran and I am an entrepreneur, investor, a father, and a skeptic who is on a journey to meet the world's highest achievers - those who live in the one percent of all aspects of life. In this episode I talk about leaving behind Freedom Fast Lane after 5 years of podcasting so that I could start thinking bigger and move forward with The One Percent and growing the Capitalism.com media empire.

I have some very important news. Five years ago I launched Freedom Fast Lane in order to document my journey and share the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. It has been so much fun to have shared what I have learned along the way with you. About a year and a half ago something changed. Some of the magic that I felt at the very beginning started to fade. I felt that I had to start monetizing the following of this show in order to make it sustainable. Monetizing this audience turned into a very stressful thing. Show Notes Allowing myself to indulge in retrospection I’ve done a lot of reflecting over the past six months and I’ve analyzed where I want to go with my career. I’ve reflected upon all the highs and lows of these past six months. As I look back on what worked, it was always when I was curious, honest, humble, when I was always being myself. Exploring new horizons I feel like I’ve said everything there is to say and that I’ve shared everything there is to share on the topics that I’ve been talking about. I decided to try something new. So this is the last official Freedom Fast Lane podcast episode in this format. Up until this point I shared a lot about physical products and some of the strategies we’ve used. We’ll see what comes next.   Connect with Ryan Find more amazing podcast discussions on FreedomFastLane.com.   On Facebook On YouTube On LinkedIn On Twitter

I run a mastermind called The Backroom... And at our meetings, each member shares some of their best ideas that are working right now. So a couple of our members, Dylan and Dan, get up and sorta waltz on stage like they don't have a care in the world... And Dylan grabs the mic and speaks with his adorable, disarming Kentucky drawl... And over the next thirty minutes or so, he outlines how he is making millions on Amazon without doing, like, any work. In fact, what he does is so stupidly simple and obvious that I asked my mastermind members if anybody wanted to start doing it. In my estimation, it could be scaled to $100k per month in about a year, maybe less time if someone was really dedicated to it... So there I was... sitting in my own mastermind, thinking about starting an entirely new business... It was that good. "We've sold about $15m on Amazon doing this one thing in the last few years," he said off-hand. "That's on top of our normal sales, of course. We didn't need any reviews or anything like that." Hang on, what? ON TOP OF NORMAL SALES? Like... you can run OTHER businesses or a full time job while also doing this? Yeah. He doesn't get reviews. He doesn't source products. He doesn't even deal with competition. That's what caught my attention. So I had to have him on the podcast to go into more detail.

Ryan had a very motivating chat with Sam Prentice, an investment expert and the co-founder of Wealthpoint, about generating passive income through investments. Here’s some of what Sam had to say about what to do if you get a big windfall (from selling a business for example): Use 1031 exchanges wisely Some of Sam’s clients used a 1031 exchange to take money from one depreciated property, reinvest it in another property, and defer all capital gain taxes. You can actually 1031 between asset classes as long as they are considered like-kind. Some people exited real estate for a great profit and reinvested the money in oil and gas. Set up a capital warehouse and then go for the cash flow First set up a capital warehouse, which means that you will have a limit to how much you can put into it each year. This is basically a liquid place to store capital which earns a return. For the rest of the money, go for anything cash flow. Keep it simple Look for assets that have a value and buy countercyclical assets when you don’t know what you’re doing so that you can trade them later. Always keep it simple. Look for sweet spots, aka places where you have a strategic advantage either in knowledge, or in the people that you know, or the sector you are familiar with.   It was great listening to Sam!   Key takeaways: Take advantage of 1031 exchanges Set up a capital warehouse and then go for the cash flow Keep it simple and look for sweet spots   Connect with Ryan Find more amazing podcast discussions on FreedomFastLane.com.   On Facebook On YouTube On LinkedIn On Twitter   Connect with Sam Find out more about Sam’s company, Wealthpoint, at https://gowealthpoint.com/
