In this video, I share how I built my portfolio to produce cash flow and grow at the same time, allowing me to retire early. It’s not about saving more or hoping for market growth—it’s about structuring your wealth like ultra-wealthy families do.Most high earners face a common problem: they accumulate millions but have no plan for income replacement. They’re stuck in a “wealth trap” where the goalposts keep moving, and retirement seems always out of reach. For years, I followed the traditional advice—60/40 portfolios, the 4% rule—only to realize it wasn’t built for my goals. That’s when I started studying how ultra-wealthy families actually manage their wealth, and what I discovered completely changed my approach.Ultra-wealthy families don’t rely on selling assets to fund their lives—they build what I call the Evergreen Portfolio. This model includes three critical components: growth assets for long-term appreciation, preservation assets for safety, and income-generating assets that fund your lifestyle without tapping into principal. In this video, I break down how I applied this framework to my own portfolio, how I structured it, and how you can do the same.With this strategy, I was able to take $6M and structure it so that half of it generates steady income, allowing me to retire at 51 while still growing my wealth. I show you exactly how to build your portfolio with growth, preservation, and income—without relying on market timing or risky bets.If you’re ready to break free from the traditional retirement advice and start building a portfolio that works for you now, this episode is for you.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomSpots are limited—and the clarity you’ll gain?

👋 Managing Tech Millions 📈 your go-to source for building wealth with tech equity and managing the money that comes with it.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows.👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomWhen? 📆 January 7th at 7pm to 9pm (Central US)Four years ago, one decision changed everything. Walking away from a tech executive career at 51 looked reckless from the outside—especially when the portfolio at the time was half the size of peers who were still working long hours. But there was one critical difference: while their wealth was just a number on a screen, this portfolio was already generating meaningful cash flow. Four years later, it has grown by more than $2M and now produces over $200K per year in income—without selling assets.This episode breaks down why the traditional 4% rule quietly fails high earners and why so many people with millions still feel trapped in demanding careers. The 4% rule was never designed for people managing seven- and eight-figure portfolios, and it ignores one of the biggest risks retirees face: sequence-of-returns risk. When markets drop early in retirement, forced asset sales can permanently derail a portfolio—and most advisors still build plans that rely entirely on hope and market timing.The conversation pulls back the curtain on a massive gap in wealth management. If you have under $1M, personal finance advice works. If you have over $100M, you can build a full Single Family Office. But between $1M and $30M, most investors are pushed into generic 60/40 portfolios that generate little to no income while charging substantial fees. This is what creates dependence on a paycheck long after wealth has been built.The alternative explored in this episode is how ultra-wealthy families actually structure portfolios: never selling assets to fund life. Instead, they build Evergreen Portfolios designed around three coordinated categories—growth, preservation, and income. Growth assets compound long-term value, preservation assets protect liquidity and downside risk, and income assets generate consistent cash flow that funds living expenses regardless of market conditions. This structure allows families to ride out downturns without panic, selling, or lifestyle disruption.You’ll hear exactly how this framework was implemented step by step—divesting concentrated stock positions over time, increasing liquidity, and deliberately building income-producing assets such as real estate, private credit, and income-focused strategies. The result was financial independence achieved not by guessing market cycles, but by replacing drawdowns with durable cash flow.The episode also walks through the real-world math behind why this approach matters. In down markets like 2008 or 2022, portfolios dependent on withdrawals permanently lose ground, while income-driven portfolios continue operating and recover faster. Same starting numbers. Completely different outcomes.If you’re managing between $1M and $30M, sitting on concentrated equity, or questioning whether the traditional retirement playbook actually works for your situation, this episode offers a clear, practical alternative. It’s not about chasing higher returns—it’s about building a system that supports your life today while still compounding for the future.If you want to go deeper into how this Evergreen approach fits inside a Micro Family Office structure—and how to implement it systematically—this episode is the foundation.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomSpots are limited—and the clarity you’ll gain?

That level of concentration is a time bomb, and yet it’s exactly where many high earners find themselves after a liquidity event or years of accumulating company equity. Traditional advisors didn’t have answers beyond a generic 60/40 allocation and a “withdraw 4% in retirement” plan, none of which solved the real challenge: how to reduce concentration risk, generate income today, and still grow wealth over time.Most investors are taught the drawdown model—accumulate during your working years, then start selling assets in retirement. But this structure exposes you to sequence-of-returns risk and forces you to hope the market cooperates. The Evergreen model replaces hope with intention by organizing assets into three categories with clear jobs: growth assets that appreciate over time, income assets that generate cash flow today, and preservation assets that protect against downside risk. It’s the difference between treating your portfolio like a grain silo that empties over time and an orchard that produces fruit indefinitely without cutting down the trees.The turning point came from building an Investment Thesis—a strategic blueprint that defined goals, risk tolerance, allocation strategy, and return targets. Without this, most high earners wander from one idea to the next, reacting to market noise instead of executing a cohesive plan. After creating the thesis, a multi-year reallocation began, reducing concentrated equity positions and redeploying capital into a balanced structure aligned with the Evergreen model. The result was a portfolio with 47.5% in growth assets, 47.5% in income assets, and 5% in preservation, producing more than $200,000 per year in cash flow while still increasing in total value by over $2 million in just a few years.This video breaks down exactly how that transformation happened, why the traditional financial system fails individuals with $1M to $30M, and how the Micro Family Office approach allows high earners to run their wealth like a business rather than a side project. It’s a scalable framework used by families at the highest levels—and it works just as effectively for those managing portfolios in the seven- and eight-figure range.If you’re looking to reduce concentration risk, generate meaningful passive income, and build a portfolio that can support your lifestyle without selling off your future, this breakdown will show you the exact system that makes it possible.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomSpots are limited—and the clarity you’ll gain?

You’re no longer in the personal-finance world… but you’re also not in the $100M+ family office world.You’re in the financial services desert.This week’s episode breaks down the solution: the Micro Family Office framework — the system designed specifically for people with $1 to $30 million who want professional-grade wealth management without the cost of a traditional family office.What You’ll Learn in This 14-Minute Breakdown• Why the industry isn’t built for people at your wealth levelOnce you cross seven figures, your opportunities — and risks — get more complex.

From the major-domos of the 6th century to the Rockefellers in the 1880s to the more than 10,000 family offices operating today, this model has quietly powered the longest-lasting fortunes on earth.But here’s what almost nobody talks about:If your net worth is between $1 million and $30 million, you’ve been completely locked out of this proven system. You’re too sophisticated for generic personal finance advice, yet not large enough for a traditional family office with multimillion-dollar annual operating costs.This episode breaks down why a Micro Family Office fills that gap—and why this moment in history makes it essential. With $124 trillion set to transfer across generations in the next two decades, and millions of new millionaires being created through tech equity and liquidity events, the need for structured wealth management has never been greater.Here’s what you’ll learn:* The “financial services desert” that exists for people with $1M–$30M* How family offices evolved from medieval stewards to modern wealth engines* Why traditional advisors give the same advice to a $100K client and a $10M client* The three wealth management structures—and the limitations of each* What a Micro Family Office actually is and how it operates* The four phases of the WealthOps Framework: Architect, Build, Run, and Succession* How to build a lean, efficient wealth management system using fractional experts* What it really costs to run a Micro Family Office I will show you how to take control of your wealth, reduce complexity, and build a system that supports both your lifestyle and your legacy.

Your financial advisor builds a big nest egg… then you spend the next 30 years selling pieces of it just to live. It exposes you to sequence-of-returns risk, high taxes, and the real possibility of running out of money.That’s not how ultra-wealthy families manage their wealth.In this 16-minute breakdown, I’ll show you how to build what I call an Evergreen Portfolio—a wealth system designed to generate monthly income while your principal continues to grow. You’ll learn the same asset allocation principles used by TIGER 21 members and $20M+ family offices, adapted for individuals with $1M to $30M in assets.Here’s what we’ll cover:* The failure points of the traditional 4% withdrawal model* How sequence-of-returns risk quietly destroys retirements* Why portfolios built only on stocks, index funds, and bonds underperform* The three Evergreen asset categories: Income, Growth, and Capital Preservation* How to target 6%–12% annual yields with the right income assets* How tax optimization can add 2%–3% in returns every year* The four pillars of an Evergreen portfolio: selection, tax planning, risk management, and operational cadence* A real allocation example of a $1.5M Evergreen Portfolio producing $143,000 in annual income* How to start transitioning your own portfolio in a tax-efficient way* The mindset shift from being a portfolio “consumer” to becoming the CEO of your wealthIf you’ve built a seven- or eight-figure net worth but your portfolio isn’t giving you the freedom you want, this video will completely change how you think about investing, cash flow, and long-term wealth.This is the exact framework I use. It’s how I built my own Evergreen Portfolio. And it’s how sophisticated investors protect and grow their wealth for generations.If you want to stop relying on hope, stop selling assets, and start running your portfolio like an operating business, this video is your roadmap.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomSpots are limited—and the clarity you’ll gain?

The goal? Just get a bigger number on the screen. Then, maybe, if the market plays nice, you can start pulling 4% a year at 65.But here’s what they don’t tell you: families managing $100+ million aren’t waiting until 65. They’re generating income today—and their wealth is still growing.Now, you might be thinking, “But I don’t have $100 million. Can I still do this?”That’s the exact question I spent the last 10 years answering. A few years ago, my portfolio was 98% in public stocks—and it produced zero cash flow. Today, that same portfolio pays me over $200,000 a year in income without selling assets, without touching principal, and it has grown by over $2 million in value.In this video, I’m going to walk you through the three-step process I used to transform my portfolio into what I call an Evergreen Portfolio—a strategy designed to generate income today and build long-term wealth.Join me for The WealthOps Way—our free live masterclass designed to help you stop guessing and start running your wealth like a business.You’ll go from scattered to strategic as you craft your own Portfolio Thesis—the foundation of everything that follows👉 In just one session, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomSpots are limited—and the clarity you’ll gain?

Six months later, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, completely overwhelmed. I had always believed that seeing seven figures in my bank account would bring freedom—but instead, I had more anxiety than ever.Here’s the uncomfortable truth: making money and managing money are completely different skills.This video is a deep dive into the six most common—and most dangerous—mistakes I see first-time millionaires make. I’ve lived through all of them. I’ll also walk you through the practical, systematic framework that helped me turn chaotic wealth into a calm, income-generating portfolio.It all starts with Mistake #1: investing without first creating an Investment Thesis and a Legacy Statement. This one mistake can cost you more than any market downturn. When you skip the step of defining why you’re building wealth and how you’re going to do it, every investment becomes a guess. And guesswork is expensive.Mistake #2 is being overexposed to concentrated stock positions—especially common for tech employees. If your net worth is tied to one stock, you’re not building wealth, you’re placing a bet. Diversification isn’t just about risk management; it can also increase returns by up to 15%.Mistake #3: treating a multimillion-dollar portfolio like a side project. If you wouldn’t run a $5 million business without systems, strategy, and reviews, why are you doing that with your wealth? Without structure, you could be leaving up to 3% in annual returns on the table.Mistake #4 is treating tax planning as an afterthought. High-net-worth individuals who ignore tax strategy are giving away tens of thousands of dollars per year—sometimes more. Smart, proactive tax planning isn’t optional at this level. It’s essential.Mistake #5: settling for cookie-cutter financial advice. Most financial advisors are not equipped to serve clients in the $1–30 million range with real strategy. If you’re being offered a generic 60/40 portfolio, you’re likely getting advice designed for scale, not for success.That’s why I believe in building what I call a Micro Family Office. It’s a lean, tech-enabled version of a traditional family office that gives you access to the same tools, strategies, and investment opportunities that ultra-high-net-worth individuals use—but tailored to your portfolio size.Finally, Mistake #6 is the root of all the others: confusing making money with managing wealth. Just because you’re excellent at earning doesn’t mean you automatically know how to build lasting financial systems. They’re completely different mindsets, timelines, and skill sets.This video is the one I wish existed when I hit seven figures and had no idea what to do next.
