EPISODE SUMMARY:
On this enlightening episode of Construct Your Life, we are joined by the inspiring Andrew Freed, a project manager turned real estate mogul who mastered the art of overcoming procrastination and took control of his financial future. Andrew walks us through his personal journey, discussing how he left the trappings of a regular 9-to-5 job and carved his path to wealth creation. He shares his insights on disconnecting from naysayers, the detrimental effects of news media, and the importance of personal development, demonstrating the power of focusing on our dreams and surrounding ourselves with positivity and growth.
Join us as we delve into the world of investing, the significance of a long-term mindset, and the magical power of compounding. Andrew shares his experience juggling multiple side hustles and building bridges that all lead to the same path, offering valuable insights for those interested in real estate and other investments.

Towards the end of our conversation, Andrew talks about effective time management, the importance of delegation, and how he has transferred his skills from project management to real estate investing.

Finally, we round off the episode with a discussion on connecting through social media, with Andrew encouraging listeners to reach out to him for more information on investing. Listen in and get inspired to take the first step towards financial success!
ANDREW'S BIO:
Andrew started off on the W2 track as a project manager and ascended through the corporate ladder from company to company, always looking for the next higher paying job. Then after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, he came to the realization that the rat race is a 30β40-year journey which seems like an eternity. Why not take the leap and try for financial freedom in the next 10 years? Worst case, he can just go back to the workforce and take the traditional retirement path to 65.
After that epiphany, he was determined to take action. He obtained a home line of credit (HELOC) on my one-bedroom condo in Boston and bought 10 deals over the course of 3 years; he purchased four 3 families, one 5 unit, two 6 units, and joined 2 apartment building syndications as a limited partner, one in Lowell MA and the other in Phoenix AZ. He also syndicated a 65 unit portfolio in New Bedford MA as a GP. Currently, he self manages 24 rental units and owns 95 units. He obtained a majority of my units through househacking, syndicating and accessing liquidity through lines of credit. He has a passion for teaching others about the power of real estate investing and financial literacy. His ultimate goal is to travel the world and help thousands of others achieve financial freedom through real estate investing.

How was the year | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your Life #578
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Get ready to dive deep into the pool of self-reflection. I promise you will emerge enlightened and motivated to make your next year better than the last. I, Austin Linney, will be your guide on this journey of introspective dialogue. We will venture into the recesses of our mind, as I push you to question and evaluate your personal growth over the past year.
This episode is designed to help you question if you have moved closer to your dreams, goals, and if you have improved your relationships and health. I insist on the importance of asking ourselves the right questions, rather than looking for immediate answers. Are you 1% better than yesterday? Are you evolving into a better version of yourself every day? I encourage you to ruminate over these questions, to ensure you are not the same person walking into the New Year as you were in the last. Let's get ready to ask ourselves, "How was my year?" but more importantly, "How can I make the next one better?" It's time to explore these thought-provoking inquiries and strive for a better year ahead!

Capacity | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your Life #573
EPISODE SUMMARY:
What if the only thing standing between you and your wildest dreams is your self-imposed limitations? What if, by just stretching your capacity and elevating your goals, you could achieve far more than you ever imagined? This episode is all about understanding the concepts of capacity, time, space, and their intersection in our personal and business realms. I, Austin Linney, share insights from my experiences and from a thought-provoking book titled "10X is easier than 2X", reinforcing the idea that massive growth often comes when we dare to step outside our comfort zones.
We tackle the paradox of tripling our team size and still being just as busy, stirring up the question of business growth and team expansion. We talk about motivation - the invisible force that helps us achieve seemingly impossible tasks. I challenge you, yes you, to aim for a higher goal, to push beyond your boundaries, and to believe in your potential for more. Instead of losing 10 pounds, go for 20. Instead of earning $100K, aim for $250K. It's all about expanding your capacity, and realizing that often, you are far more capable than you give yourself credit for. So tune in, let's grow together and explore the exciting journey of stretching our capacities and aiming for the stars.
