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?

133: Have $1M+ Net Worth? Here's How To Turn It Into a Cash Flow Machine

👋 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? 📆 December 17th at 7pm to 9pm (Central US)If your net worth is over $1 million, I’m about to show you how the ultra-wealthy turn their portfolios into cash flow machines—and why your financial advisor will likely never teach you this.Most traditional advisors will put you in a 60/40 portfolio and tell you to keep growing your net worth until retirement. 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?

131: 6 Things You Should NEVER Do AFTER Becoming a Millionaire

👋 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 two sessions, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomWhen? 📆 December 10th and 11th at 7pm to 9pm (Central US)I made $3.3 million in five minutes during my first IPO. 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. If you want to avoid years of trial and error, start by building your foundation—your Legacy Statement and Investment Thesis—and make every financial decision from there.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 two sessions, 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?

130: What it takes to be in the top 10%, 5%, and 1% of Wealth (in 2025)

👋 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 two sessions, you’ll:* Clarify your long-term vision* Define your next best investment move* Build the system that turns wealth into freedomWhen? 📆 November 12th and 13th at 7pm to 9pm (Central US)If you think hitting $1 million means you’re financially free, think again. That might’ve been true in 1980, but today? That barely puts you in the top 10% of net worth in America—and it’s not enough to stop working. In todays episode, I break down the exact net worth thresholds for the top 10%, 5%, and 1% in the U.S.—both total net worth and investable net worth. I’ll also share where I personally stand, how wealth strategies evolve at each level, and what it really takes to break into the top 1%. Using fresh data from the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, we’ll walk through how wealth changes—not just in amount, but in structure. You’ll see why the climb from median net worth to the top 10% is steep, but getting from 10% to 1% is an exponential leap. And here’s the big insight: the difference between owning assets and owning capital. Most people in the top 10% are “house-rich,” but not capital-rich. Nearly 60% of their wealth is tied up in a primary residence that doesn’t generate income. Meanwhile, in the top 1%, nearly half of net worth comes from private business equity—not real estate or stocks. We’ll also unpack what I call The Great Decoupling—the moment the truly wealthy shift their wealth strategy entirely. It’s not about more assets—it’s about different kinds of assets, systems, and mindset. If you’re a high earner or successful professional feeling stuck—even with a $2M+ portfolio—this is your wake-up call. You may already be in the top 10%, or even top 5%, but if you’re still using the wrong wealth management playbook, you’ll never break into the top 1%. Whether you’re just starting to think about investable net worth, or already building legacy-level wealth, this video is your roadmap for moving from income dependence to true financial independence—and eventually, to becoming the CEO of your 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 two sessions, 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?

I’ve worked with countless high earners who’ve mastered complexity in their careers, yet when it comes to managing their personal wealth, they unknowingly fall back on outdated strategies designed for $50k incomes. This mindset trap often leads to massive opportunity loss, increased risk, and delayed financial freedom.Here’s the harsh truth: you can't build generational wealth using accumulation strategies built for retirement consumption. That “buy and hold forever” mentality, the obsession with minimizing fees, or blindly sticking with 60/40 portfolios—these are small-money strategies being misapplied to big-money problems.In this content, I break down the key differences between a middle-class money mindset and wealth-building thinking: how to allocate assets, reduce taxes, generate passive income, and build your own Micro Family Office.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 two sessions, 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?
