A common misconception of the “Rich” is that they are all CEOs of huge companies that seem to have an infinite supply of money. But that’s not necessarily true - the “Rich” aren’t always who you think. What about the doctor or the lawyer making six figures a year? What do they do with their money? There are lessons very few people talk about. Lessons in taxes, business, and investments that rival that of entrepreneurs.  When I started investing, I felt like I could never get ahead. I was stuck in my job, I was on that grueling treadmill despite making well over six figures. Which begged the question, why am I stuck? Why are my “investments” not paying off? Why, despite my high income, could I still not free up my time or do more with my life? Let’s break it down.  Thanks for tuning in everybody. Enjoyed the episode?

I always say - success doesn't happen on an island - but not only that, success also doesn't happen overnight. Ever hear the expression "everything they touch turns to gold"? Some people look like they struck overnight, massive success in their careers and in their financial life, but is it really what it seems? We have a special guest returning to the podcast today (who is our OG co-host), Roc Pilon, the entrepreneurial spirit behind Gym Reapers. He leveraged his curiosity about systems and process to build an explosive level of growth in his business. He taught himself how to work with manufacturers, design products, and sell online and took a shot in the dark with his first product - and never looked back.  Thanks for tuning in everybody.

 The disconnect between real estate investors can sometimes be frustrating. Often, to learn more about a specific niche market or a specific deal, you have to seek out someone who is a pillar in that industry - a mentor or teacher - in that space.  This is the problem Paul tackled when he started his business. There needed to be a way that real estate investors can talk to *each other* about properties and deals. And that's why he founded TwnSqr, or "Townsquare," a marketplace platform specifically for real estate investors.  Enjoyed the episode? Subscribe & share with someone you know!
