The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Sometimes, the one thing you want to happen the most is often the best thing that never happened. And while it can be difficult to see in the moment, hang in there and have faith because life will surprise you in ways you can't yet see.My guest, Trey Hardee, knows this all too well. He's experienced countless setbacks and moments in life that didn't seem to be going his way. But without them, he never would have become "the world's greatest athlete."His accomplishments as a track & field athlete are quite remarkable…Trey is a two-time Olympian, two-time World Champion, two-time U.S. Champion, three-time Texas Relays winner, an NCAA Champion, a four-time All-American, former NCAA Record holder, and 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the decathlon.Pretty good for a guy who didn't even take up track and field until his junior year of high school… which, by the way, wouldn't even have happened if he hadn't been cut from his basketball team.In this episode, Trey offers up priceless advice for anyone who has big dreams to succeed in life. We talk about his journey to becoming an Olympic athlete, his comeback after a severe elbow injury, and the smart steps he took to turn his earned income as an athlete into cash-flowing assets.

Today, I’m speaking with the powerhouse brother duo, Chris and Rob Taylor.Here’s a bit of context…Chris founded a company called Square Root in 2006 which helps automotive OEM field managers understand and act on unique data patterns and opportunities for retailers in their markets. The company was acquired by CDK Global, where Chris continues his journey as Vice President and General Manager.His brother Rob Taylor is co-founder of Austin-based Convey, which was acquired for $255 million by project44. Convey powers direct-to-consumer delivery experiences for more than 2,000 of the world’s largest brands.What’s interesting is that Chris & Rob took very different startup paths, but got to very similar destinations.Chris bootstrapped and scaled a single startup over the course of 17 years and didn’t take a single dollar of outside money.Rob on the other hand, leveraged venture capital to fund 7 different startups over a 20 year period. It’s a go big, go fast strategy.Both paths have pros and cons that we dig into during today’s conversation.These guys have had major exits, and major success, and I wanted to talk to them all about their experience building, scaling, and selling businesses. We discuss entrepreneurship, acquisition deals, IPOs, bootstrapping vs. raising money, VC partnerships, and so much more.  Want the Full Show Notes?To get access to the full show notes, including audio, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit JustinDonald.com/77Get the Lifestyle Investor Book!To get access to The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cashflow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom visit JustinDonald.com/bookRate & Review If you enjoyed today’s episode of The Lifestyle Investor, hit the subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen, so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.
