Get Addicted to Life W/ Rob & Claudia Rowsell
On this episode, Julia and Gino interview Rob & Claudia Rowsell. Rob Rowsell has a truly incredible story! Just a few short years ago, in 1999, he was living on the streets—homeless and unemployable. Addicted to crystal meth and crack cocaine, he was living the criminal lifestyle, performing fraudulent schemes, shoplifting and stealing to provide for his drug habit. He had no job, no driver’s license, no car, no place to call home, no credit, two probation officers, and over $60,000 in traffic fines, restitution, and back taxes owed to the IRS. Claudia has never done drugs, but she lived the homeless lifestyle with Rob because she was addicted to Rob. She was told by many well-meaning friends, her parents, and even Rob’s parents, to run away and don’t look back, because Rob would never change. She believed they were wrong. At the direction of one of his probation officers, Rob admitted himself into a 30-day drug rehab. By the Grace of God, he has been sober ever since that day! In four short years, while still on probation in two separate matters, he got his driver’s license back, paid all fines and restitution he owed, bought their first home, and bought their first business! Today they are now engaged in many businesses and Rob has now dedicated his life to helping other people grow to the next level, and achieve the impossible as well. Rob Rowsell has authored a book- 'Addicted to Life'! that describes how he went from homeless to extraordinary success and happiness in a short period of time.

“Long-Termism” with Gino Barbaro
On this episode, Jake and Gino talk about the concept of “Long-Termism” and what it means to have a long-term mindset around your personal financial planning. Long term financial planning can pay you back in the form of legacy wealth and skills. It is about values that you carry with you, that guide you to reach your financial goals. What you want to avoid is the opposite- the ‘Shiny Object Syndrome.’ This short-term mindset neither lets you think in terms of legacy wealth nor lets you become the master of any trait. Age doesn't matter but mindset does in long-term-ism. Quick Tip: Read 'The Honey Bee'. The book is one of Jake and Gino’s most recommended business parables to add to your reading list. It is packed full of advice that you can actually use in your journey to become an entrepreneur and to grow your personal wealth: https://jakeandgino.com/honeybee/ Key Insights: 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Long-Termism demands you to take responsibility for your financial legacy 03:51 Education x Action= Results 06:30 Take care of yourself first, to have impact on others 09:01 Having a long-term mindset in multifamily real estate business 13:00 Shiny Object Syndrome 15:33 Age doesn't matter, but mindset does matter 18:20 Acquire legacy skills 19:20 Wrap-up Check out the "Honey Bee" book on our website: https://jakeandgino.com/honeybee/ BONUS Resources: Download our eBook on how you can leverage on our Dual Asset Strategy and become your own source of financing: https://100yearrei.com/ebook-download/ NEXT Step: If you want to learn more on why should add a cash value Whole Life Insurance Policy to your financial plan (and even the plan for your children), get in touch with our Team here: https://100yearrei.com/callnow/ About The 100 Year Real Estate Investor The Whole Life Insurance Policies offered by the 100 Year Real Estate Investor are specially-designed.
