Today, I’m talking to Jim Dew, who is the CEO and Founder of Dew Wealth Management – a firm that builds virtual family offices, specifically for entrepreneurs.You may be wondering, what exactly is a virtual family office? Well, entrepreneurs and investors typically have a number of professionals in their corner to help manage their wealth – attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, bankers, and more. The problem is, these specialists don’t always communicate with one another. And if there’s no coordination or united vision, it can really hurt how the wealth gets managed.Traditional family offices fix this by assembling a dedicated team offering personalized financial services. But they're costly, usually reserved for those with over $200M.That’s where the virtual family office comes in. By offering services virtually, operating costs are drastically cut, allowing entrepreneurs to access expert advice previously exclusive to the super-rich.THIS is what today’s episode is all about. Jim’s going to share insights from nearly 30 years of experience building virtual family offices. You’ll learn what to look for when hiring a team and unique strategies to protect, manage, and grow your wealth! In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ The asset protection playbook for every stage of your business, including insights into different practical tax scenarios.✅ The criteria for evaluating top-tier tax and wealth advisors and why having “A players” on your team is non-negotiable for managing wealth.✅ Strategies for smartly applying the Augusta Rule, the tax advantages of HSAs, and the strategic benefits of employing your children.Free GiftGet free access to Jim's "Augusta Rule & Tax Reference" guide.

How much money do you really need to fly private? It turns out, you don't need as much as you’d think. When I was younger, I often wondered, how in the world does someone afford a multi-million dollar plane? I used to think you had to put $15M down to buy one. The reality is, most people finance it over time, and in the process, they take advantage of some serious tax write-offs. Imagine for a moment that you had a BIG exit. Amazing! Except there’s one problem. Now you have to worry about a huge tax liability. I can’t tell you the number of business owners who get nailed with an insane tax bill because they didn’t have a plan in place. Luckily, through the power of accelerated depreciation, financing a plane is one way to offset the amount you’d need to fork over to Uncle Sam. Not only that, but it offers some pretty cool benefits from a lifestyle perspective. Am I suggesting that everyone go out and buy a plane? Absolutely not. BUT, it’s worth noting that it’s not just an option reserved for the rich and famous. You’d be surprised at all the different ways you can be an owner—and we’ll uncover those options (and a whole lot more) on today’s episode. I’m talking with Nik Tarascio, who grew up in the aviation business and has been flying planes since he was in grade 3. He’s now the CEO of Ventura Air Services, an aviation company that he scaled to unprecedented heights during the pandemic, defying industry odds by doubling its fleet despite the steep drop in travel. In today’s conversation, you’ll learn.✅ Why you don’t have to be a billionaire to enjoy the freedom of private aviation.✅ The tax benefits to buying a plane—and how it’s done!✅ Why true joy is not found in material pursuits but in meaningful relationships and sharing experiences with those closest to you. Free GiftNik is sharing a simple to understand PDF report that outlines the major benefits to owning your own plane.To get access to this gift, visit LifestyleInvestor.com/123Want the Full Show Notes?To get access to the full show notes, including audio, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit LifestyleInvestor.com/123Get the Lifestyle Investor Book!To get access to The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cashflow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom visit LifestyleInvestor.com/bookRate & ReviewIf 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.

Ben Fraser is the Managing Director at Aspen Funds, a private fund that operates real estate funds for investors. He has raised over $100M in the past several years. Before Aspen Funds, Ben worked as a commercial banker and underwriter in boutique assets management. He’s also a contributor to the Forbes Finance Council and a co-host of the Invest Like a Billionaire podcast. Ben’s experience in real estate and banking taught him that even though successfully navigating a recession and rising interest rates can be challenging, the best opportunities appear when the economic landscape is shifting.  In today’s conversation, he reveals why ultra-wealthy individuals and organizations allocate significant portions of their investment portfolios outside the stock market and in alternatives—like real estate, private equity and hedge funds—while the average investor mainly works with stocks and bonds. We also go over his strategies for successfully navigating recessions, why he likes multifamily and self-storage, and his thoughts on the future of the US economy.Free GiftNick’s giving away the first 5 chapters of his book, The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings.

Nick Gray is an investor, entrepreneur, and author who has started, scaled and sold multiple businesses.  One of his most successful ventures was Museum Hack, which was his unique approach to offering museum tours for people who hate museum tours. It got into the Inc 5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. Eventually he struck a 7-figure exit deal, and continues to own 15% of the company. While Nick could have enjoyed an early retirement, he decided to follow another passion: connecting with people and helping others build personal and professional relationships. After hosting hundreds of parties, he authored The 2-Hour Cocktail Party, which teaches anyone how to build relationships by hosting small gatherings. New York Magazine has described him as “the host of culturally significant parties.” In this conversation, we go over the lessons he learned from bootstrapping and exiting multiple businesses, why entrepreneurs struggle to find meaning after securing nine-figure exits, and why hosting events is the best way to build your professional network. Free GiftNick’s giving away the first 5 chapters of his book, The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings.

If you want to live a rich life, one of the most important assets to invest in is yourself. You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't have your health, the money is pointless. While today’s episode doesn’t cover the usual investing strategies our guests normally speak on, it does offer valuable insight into how someone with a difficult past can face their fear, let go of the past, and completely turn their life around for the better.  I’m talking with Stefanos Sifandos. Stefanos is a behavioral scientist and relationship expert who has worked with Elite Special Forces soldiers, Olympic Gold Medalists, high-performing CEOs, entrepreneurs, world champion fighters, and everyday people, helping them to move past their trauma and step into freedom. Before Stefanos could help all those people, he needed to help himself first. He grew up in a low-income family with an abusive father, and the trauma he went through as a child wreaked havoc on his life as an adult. He became addicted to food, porn, sex, and abusive relationships. After years of struggle, he decided to stop the past from influencing his present. He explored his deep-seated pain and saw the man he could be if he didn’t allow those demons to define him. Today, he no longer fears his insecurities and isn’t afraid to share them with those he loves.  In our conversation, we dig into the importance of facing and working through difficult emotions and past traumas, and surrounding yourself with people who believe in you. We also go over Stefanos’ strategies for doing the inner work he used to overcome years of depression and feelings of self-worth, so he could build a thriving business and freedom lifestyle.Free GiftStefanos and his wife want to share their experiential Sacred Union process with you, which is their framework for building an epic relationship with your partner. To get access to this gift, visit LifestyleInvestor.com/105Want the Full Show Notes?To get access to the full show notes, including audio, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit LifestyleInvestor.com/105Get the Lifestyle Investor Book!To get access to The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cashflow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom visit LifestyleInvestor.com/bookRate & ReviewIf 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.

It’s not often you get the chance to speak to a man who dreamed of being a church pastor but instead became a real estate investing mogul.It’s why I’m excited to talk to Taylor Welch, internationally acclaimed business consultant and entrepreneur. Taylor has advised and serviced over 50,000 businesses worldwide in the last five years and currently sits as CEO of several multi-8-figure companies.One of the things that I love the most about Taylor is that even amid adversity, he never compromised his mindset of learning and surrounding himself with people smarter than him. Using that mindset, he scaled his first business, Traffic & Funnels, from zero to tens of millions in just five years.No wonder he built a name for himself in hundreds of industries and is nearing three-quarters of a billion in client revenue.He’s now pulling back the curtain on how other businesses and individuals can achieve the same level of success. In this episode, we go over his journey from wanting to be a pastor to making millions in real estate, the importance of mindset for creating abundance in every aspect of life, his thoughts on the future of crypto, and so much more.Free GiftPassive Income Empire Workshop - a course valued at $1500.

When people hear the term negotiation, they usually think of tense arguments and nerve-wracking meetings. To think that negotiation boils down to whether someone gets the better deal of the bargain is to operate from a place of scarcity.Today’s guest, Christine McKay, will be the first to tell you that negotiation doesn’t have to be a “win or lose” scenario. It’s not about winning; it’s about building relationships and being curious about your counterpart.Christine is the Founder and CEO of Venn Negotiation, a company through which she turns clients into world-class negotiators. She has worked with roughly half of the Fortune 500 companies and negotiated on behalf of hundreds of small and mid-sized businesses.Before becoming a negotiation powerhouse doing billion-dollar deals, Christine had to overcome adversity. She was homeless, on welfare, and a single mother. On top of that, she struggled with alcohol dependency.Against all odds and the prediction of many people, she got a scholarship from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and later earned her M.B.A. degree at Harvard University.In this episode, we discuss her journey from a homeless person to a world-class negotiator, key mistakes people make in the negotiation process, and the mindset and steps that will make you a negotiator extraordinaire.Christine's story blew me away, and I think you’ll get a lot of value out of it.Free GiftShe’s sharing her free report, “Why Not Ask? 16 Ways to Get More” which outlines proven strategies for getting the most out of your negotiations.To get access of this gift, visit JustinDonald.com/90Want 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/90Get 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.

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.

Money is often viewed as a taboo topic that most people don’t like or want to discuss openly. You’ll often hear parents advising their kids never to ask how much someone makes or how they make it because it’s rude.

Secure in the coveted top 1% of his field, Derrick is also author of the acclaimed Good Money Revolution and host of the popular Good Money Podcast.Derrick’s “good money” mantra stems from this basic premise:“If you’re not making the money you deserve and you’re not making the impact on the world you’ve always wanted, there’s a better way for your money.”Tune in to my conversation with Derrick and learn how to make your life better by connecting it to a purpose.

Today, I'm speaking with my long-time friend, Brad Weimert. Brad is an adventurer, investor, entrepreneur, and Founder of Easy Pay Direct—a payment gateway touted as the most critical tool on the market to facilitate high-level eCommerce.What makes Brad's business so unique is how it manages what bigger processing companies (like PayPal or Stripe) would consider to be "high risk." While these merchant accounts allow you to get set up quickly, they fail to get to know your business. And the result can lead to holds on money that you legitimately earned—or even worse, closing down your account altogether without notice.Easy Pay Direct solves this problem by underwriting on the front-end and really getting to know your business and how it operates. Through that unique differentiation, Brad's company has been able to work with over 30,000 businesses and serves clients like Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Hal Elrod, Grant Cardone, Frank Kern, and many others.Seeing the data behind so many companies over the years has given Brad a unique vantage point for what it takes to build a successful business. This experience led to him launching the Beyond a Million podcast—a new show that uncovers the tactics and strategies behind 7, 8, and 9 figure businesses.In today's episode, not only do we talk about Brad's entrepreneurial journey and the new podcast (launching January 20th), but we also dig into his investing experience and the most recent real-estate deal that made him a multimillion-dollar return in only 2 years. That and a whole lot more!FREE GiftFirstly, he’s giving away his free report “4 Fool Proof Tricks to NEVER Lose your Merchant Accounts!”Secondly, he’s running a giveaway for his new podcast, Beyond a Million.

So many people end up going to school, choosing a career, working as hard as possible, and climbing the corporate ladder, hoping that they will one day achieve financial success. But far too often, that day never comes. Today’s guest, Vanessa Peters, is an excellent example of someone who fell into that trap but ultimately decided to do something about it.    After 10 years of building a career as a Doctor, she realized she wouldn’t achieve her financial goals, even as a high-income earner. Not only was she swimming in debt from years of schooling, but her life revolved around work, leaving little time to enjoy anything else.  In 2008, Vanessa decided to start investing in real estate and began with a single-family home. Before long, she moved on to multifamily, mobile home parks, self-storage, short-term rentals, and even land entitlement, which is turning raw land into a “shovel-ready” state. This adds value and can lead to BIG returns, for both syndicators AND passive investors!In this episode, you’ll hear all about Vanessa’s unconventional path to succeeding as a real estate investor. We discuss syndication strategies for passive investing, why cash-flowing assets are so crucial to your success, and the massive opportunities that exist with land entitlements.Here’s just some of what we get into:Realizing her career as a Doctor wouldn’t allow her to succeed financially.The story of her first deal and how she went from single family homes to investing in multifamily real estate.Why holding on to a cash flowing asset (like a single family home) is a smart move, regardless of market conditions.Why real estate syndications are such a passive way to invest your money.Vanessa describes her experience with multifamily, mobile home parks, self-storage, and land entitlement—and the problem she sees with investing in single-family homes.How to invest in “raw land” and make BIG returns by adding value through entitlements.How Vanessa’s investment company bought a $6.5M piece of land and sold it for $17M in less than a year!Hear about Vanessa’s book, The Busy Professionals Guide to Passive Real Estate InvestingFREE GiftFree e-book The Busy Professional’s Guide to Passive Real Estate InvestingFree report From Raw Land to Shovel Ready: Why I Love Investing in Land EntitlementTo get access to these gifts, visit JustinDonald.com/60.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/60Get 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.

Today, I’m speaking with Sam Marks. At the age of 24, after some early setbacks (including 4 arrests while in College) Sam moved from the US to the UK and founded the e-cigarette company, SKYCIG. He bootstrapped the company initially out of the back of a rental car, and grew it into Europe’s largest e-cig brand in only 4 years. In 2013, the business was acquired for $100 million!Sam had all this money, but no idea what to do with it. He gave 40% of his earnings from the sale of the business to a financial advisory team to manage—later realizing they were losing him money, even when the markets were up. He felt manipulated, duped, and frustrated by the entire process.He decided it was time to take control of his money. Despite having zero investing experience, he started the Invest Like a Boss podcast, so he could interview and learn from the most experienced investors in the world—while also passing that knowledge on to others.Sam is now an angel investor, serial entrepreneur, and his investment portfolio includes 400 self-storage units in Hong Kong, a microbrewery in Australia, rental properties across Thailand, and several early stage startups. He’s also visited more than 100 countries while living off passive income and pursuing his bucket list.In our conversation, you’ll learn about Sam’s entrepreneurial journey, what it was like to negotiate and secure a $100 Million acquisition deal, and the passive income investments that allow him to travel the world and live life on his terms.Here’s just some of what we get into:The early setbacks that led to Sam’s entrepreneurial journeyHow Sam’s various side hustles led to building an e-cigarette business out of the back of his car.Negotiating a $100 Million acquisition deal—and the problems he faced along the way.Why even the most successful exits are often a negative experience for entrepreneurs.Why letting an advisory team manage 40% of his earnings lost him money and ended up being a really horrible experience.Foundational investing principles you need to understand in order to master your money.How Sam diversified his portfolio and built a lifestyle around his investments—including residential property in Thailand and 400+ self-storage units in Hong Kong.FREE GiftGet Sam's free report outlining his Top 10 Tips for Stock Investing.   To get access to this gift, visit JustinDonald.com/59.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/59Get 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.

In this episode, I’m speaking to Alan Olsen, who is a tax expert with over 25-years of tax advisory experience serving some of the most influential and successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists in the world.Alan started out as an IRS agent and a CPA, but was destined for something greater. His grit, determination and community involvement brought him early success, and an understanding of the value of relationships. As a father of seven, Alan always prioritized family and leaned on his faith, but it wasn’t until his kids went to college that he had an epiphany. He decided to share his wealth with less fortunate families, and virtually bankrupted himself to fund a low-cost college tuition program for disadvantaged children. Despite the uncertainty, following this unconventional path would lead to success far beyond his imagination! Today, Alan’s a Managing Partner at GROCO, which is recognized as one of the top Silicon Valley CPA firms, and host of the podcast The American Dreams Show. He’s a master at connecting the right people and telling their stories.In our discussion, I speak with Alan about the common denominators that make us human, why he believes problem-solving generates true wealth (not just the monetary kind), the power and importance of relationships, and the secret to creating a thriving business during challenging economic times.

There’s no point in making money if you’ve got nobody to spend it with. Unfortunately, far too many entrepreneurs sacrifice their freedom to achieve financial success—and in the process, they lose out on spending time with the people who matter the most.Those who fall into this trap will say they’re “doing it for their family”, but sadly, it’s the family that always gets the short end of the stick. And I can tell you from experience, I’ve made this mistake!But keep this in mind…Your kids will never remember how many mortgage payments you make, but they will remember if you show up to their little league games, birthdays, recitals, and family dinners.This leads me to today’s guest. I’m speaking with my good friend and lifestyle investor, Mike McCarthy, whose mission is to help you see that what your family really wants isn’t material wealth—it’s YOU!Mike is an entrepreneur, speaker, author of The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families, Regional Owner of the Keller Williams Greater PA Region, and Co-Founder and former CEO of GoBundance.While Mike achieved incredible success as an entrepreneur, he didn’t want to give up time with his family to start more businesses. Which is what led to him building FamBundance—a family mastermind community that creates personal development opportunities for like-hearted and like-minded families.In today’s conversation, Mike and I talk all about putting family first, the key to building a true legacy, how to include your kids in creating strong values, and why your life as an investor is only successful if you’re balancing it with a happy home.Here's just some of the things we get into:How Mike repaired an estranged relationship with his father and built a successful real estate franchise in the process.Why a successful business and a happy family life go hand-in-hand.Why freedom of time is way more important than financial success.Applying your business leadership skills to your family life.Why more money isn’t the key to building a legacy.Why you should stop using the excuse “I’m doing it for my family”Involving your kids in defining your family values.The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families.Why improving communication and connection in individual families can save the world.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/53Free Gifts from Mike McCarthyMike is giving away his family goals worksheet which is taken from The Miracle Morning For Parents and Families Playbook.

How do the wealthiest of the wealthy think? And what can you learn from their mindset and apply to your own investment approach?Today’s guest, Steven Pesavento is a high performance coach and active real estate investor, who knows that mindset is at the center of what it takes to create lifestyle freedom.Steven entered the real estate market with zero experience and within the first two and a half years, his company bought 200+ houses in multiple states, renovated 100 properties, and was entrusted with more than $12 million of investor capital. Later, he was introduced to passive real estate investing and transitioned his business completely to syndications — in part because it was an opportunity to work with wealthy, lifestyle-driven investors.   In today’s episode, I speak to Steven about his path into real estate investing and his overall approach to cultivating an investor mindset and creating passive income.Here's just some of the things we get into:How to think like the ultra-wealthy.The middle-class mindset that’s holding you back.Creating a clear vision around your investment goals.The many benefits of real estate syndications.The volatility and risks of stock market investing.How to build and scale a real estate business with no experience.Tax advantages to passive investing.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/48Free Gifts from Steven PasaventoThe Top 5 Lessons Learned From High Performing Real Estate InvestorsThe Ultimate Passive Investor PlaybookTo get access to this free gift, visit JustinDonald.com/48Get 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.

When you’re looking at the qualities it takes to be a great leader, it’s easy to get lost thinking it’s about what other people are doing for you.

Even the most driven of us are sometimes forced to swerve from our goals when life takes an unexpected turn. And although it might seem like the end of the world at the time, it could also be a major opportunity.Today’s podcast guest, Daniel Alonzo, started in financial services when he was 21 — and was a millionaire by 28 — but that wasn’t his original plan. His dreams of becoming a baseball player were dashed by an injury. Prior to that, he admits, he was a “bad kid,” whose pastimes included breaking into people’s cars, and stealing whatever was loose inside.Little did Daniel know that one of these incidents would set him on the path to success. Inside a stolen boombox was a cassette tape by Jack Canfield of “Chicken Soup For the Soul” fame. The tape was called “Self Esteem & Peak Performance,” and listening to it changed Daniel’s perspective on life. It helped him find focus and set goals. One of those goals was to retire by the age of 30, and he certainly could have done it. By that age, he was generating enough wealth through recruiting other people that he didn’t have to work another day of his life. Of course, he didn’t stop there! Today, Daniel is a coach, entrepreneur, media personality, podcaster, and author of the forthcoming book, Wealth on the Beach. He speaks in front of hundreds of thousands of people a year, teaching them how to create financial freedom and live a better life. In our conversation, Daniel tells me why building relationships is the secret to success, why he chose not to retire, and how he built a highly scalable business that allows him to live an extraordinary life on his terms.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/46Get 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.

By his 35th birthday Mike Michalowicz had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies. Confident that he had the formula to success, he became an angel investor. But to his surprise, what he thought he knew about building a successful company, was all wrong — which led to him losing his entire fortune. He lost his house, his cars, and even had to tell his 9 year old daughter that her horse riding lessons were no longer affordable. Driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies, he created the Profit First system — which is now used by hundreds of thousands of companies across the globe to drive real profit.Since starting over, Mike has built two new multi-million dollar ventures and has had 52 consecutive quarters of profit distributions for his businesses.In today’s episode, Mike explains how he lost everything betting on seemingly successful companies, the problem with growing a business too slow or too fast, and the simple formula that leads to a truly profitable and successful business!

From a very young age, we’re taught that in order to earn money, there has to be an exchange of time. To make more, you have to work more. The problem is, there’s only 24hrs in a day, so the earned income model completely limits how much money you can make.   Sure, you can level up by making a higher hourly wage or working more hours, but beyond that, you’re stuck. As a result, people will settle for mediocrity. They end up building a lifestyle around what they get paid, rather than building their pay around the lifestyle that they truly want.It’s a trap! One that most people don’t know how to escape. Which leads me to today’s episode of the podcast… I’m speaking with Dr. David Phelps. David worked on the dental practice hamster wheel for over 20 years before being punched in the gut by his daughter’s life-threatening battle with leukemia, epilepsy, and a liver transplant — all before the age of 12. Fortunately, he had a Plan B! While still in dental school, David began investing in real estate by joint-venturing with his father on their first rental property. Three years later, they sold the property and David took his $25,000 capital gain share and leveraged it into 31 properties that produced $15,000 monthly net cash flow.Today, he’s a nationally recognized speaker on creating freedom, building businesses and investing in real estate. And his journey to create passive income and live for what matters most has inspired audiences across the nation. In our conversation, he makes it very clear why he believes the conventional idea of earned income and the “working to live” mindset is completely broken. You’ll hear us talk about all things real estate; how to buy properties that cash-flow on day one, the secret to getting seller financing, how to structure a deal on YOUR terms, and much more! You’ll also learn why the nest egg approach to investing is incredibly flawed, and what you can do to avoid the trap of earned income!Free Gift from Dr. David PhelpsGet Dr. David Phelps' FREE Report: Why Now is the Time to Create Cash Flow and Security Through Real Estate.

There’s a common misconception that entrepreneurship has to come at a cost; that in order to make a company valuable, a trade-off must occur. If your business goes up, your personal life must come down — and there’s no other way!  Well, today’s guest, Mac Lackey, would humbly disagree. As an entrepreneur for over 24 years, Mac has started, built and sold six companies — all of which have achieved 7 or 8 figure exits.What’s more impressive, is that he didn’t do it at the cost of spending less time on his family, his health, or living an exceptional life. As a devoted husband and proud father of two amazing girls, he found a way to do it all. He’s traveled the world, lived abroad, met his idols, had 50 yard line season tickets to his favorite team (FC Barcelona), and never missed a “Donuts with Dad” or a chance to carve a pumpkin with his kids.Not only has Mac avoided the entrepreneurial grind that we’re taught is inevitable, but he’s developed a repeatable process to start, scale, and sell companies successfully — and is now showing others how they can do the same.If you want to learn how to maximize the value of your business, build a solid exit strategy, and sell at a premium (without costly trade-offs), you won’t want to miss my conversation with Mac Lackey!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/36Free Gift from Mac Lackey!Get Mac's FREE report --> The 5 Key Factors a Founder Should Use to Consider IF and WHEN they SellAlso get a free assessment tool to help you determine your company’s exit readiness!Visit JustinDonald.com/36 to claim your gift!Get 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.

Money can’t buy you happiness. It may be cliché, but it’s true. I’ve met lots of people whose bank accounts are full, yet their lives are completely empty. And no matter what they acquire, it’s never enough and never satisfies. Don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying that money is bad or that it can’t help you build a life on your terms. BUT, if you’re struggling to find joy in your life, no amount of money, status, or material possessions will fill that void. That’s because true happiness, success, and freedom aren’t external, they come from within.To help us better understand this idea, I am speaking with Personal Freedom Coach, Preston Smiles. Preston has helped thousands of people around the world to understand & embrace their fears, so they can live the life of their dreams.He is the founder of The Bridge Experience — a workshop where he and his wife, Alexi take a holistic and innovative approach to personal development. He’s also the founder of Extreme Leadership, where he works in service of his mission to empower, inspire, and amplify multi-generational movements of radical love.In today’s conversation, Preston and I talk about his incredibly synchronistic experiences, how intuition can shape your reality (if you’re willing to listen), and the secret to creating a limitless life of joy & freedom.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/35Free Gift from Preston Smiles!Get FREE access to Preston's Signature Training and Guide - Create Your Life By Design, Not by Default.Visit JustinDonald.com/35 to claim your gift!Get 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.

When I started a family, I made a very intentional decision that I wasn’t going to trade time for money. I knew I wanted to show up at every game, recital, and important activity for my daughter, so I decided I was going to build a life that would give me and my family lifestyle freedom — and that’s exactly what I did!But, just because I created that freedom, it didn’t mean that I was automatically an amazing husband and father. In fact, for someone who’s always been a high achieving, hard working, competitive natured person, working on my business oftentimes felt more natural than working on my family.As entrepreneurs and investors, we’re so used to planning, setting, and achieving big goals for our businesses. We track progress, hit targets, hold meetings, and more... But why aren’t we taught to put that same level of energy into planning for our families — and shouldn't that be a top priority?With Father’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to talk more about the importance of relationships, family, and showing up for the people who matter the most. Afterall, what’s the point of creating freedom if you have nobody to spend that freedom with? There’s no one more suited for this special episode than my longtime friend, Jon Vroman. Jon is a husband, father and the Founder of Front Row Dads — a brotherhood created for “family men with businesses, not businessmen with families.” Jon originally started this group, not because he felt like he was crushing it as a Dad and a husband, but because he felt like he was getting crushed — and this group of likeminded men, rooted in trust and transparency, became the answer.  In today’s conversation, Jon and I talk about the revelation he had in his thirties that helped him realign his priorities and truly put family first. You’ll learn all about the powerful work Front Row Dads is doing, and how to build a business around your life–not a life that revolves around your business. So, If you align with the idea of being a family man with a business, and not a businessman with a family, you definitely won’t want to miss this episode!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/34Free Gift from Jon Vroman!Get a FREE digital version of Jon Vroman's book, The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment MakingVisit JustinDonald.com/34 to claim your gift!Get 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.

When I quit my job years ago, a lot of people thought I was crazy for doing it.But why? Was it because I had checked off all the "right" boxes; or because I was making good money and could make even more if I had stayed?From the moment we’re born, we’re told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We’re taught to do things a certain way and to follow a certain path. But if we’re not careful, it can prevent us from living in alignment with our true values.For me, the goal was NOT to make more money, the goal was to buy my time back...So, quitting my job was the right decision. And of course, the money followed, but if I had listened to what everyone else had told me to do, I would never have achieved the lifestyle freedom that I have today. This is an important lesson that leads to today’s discussion with my friend Cal Callahan.Cal is the owner of Unlearn Ventures, which is an investment fund and incubator for forward-thinking projects. He’s also the host of The Great Unlearn — a podcast that empowers people to question everything they think they know about life.Whether it’s spirituality, health, relationships, or fitness, Cal’s superpower is to help others unpack and unlearn preconceived ideas and beliefs, so they can build a better, truer version of themselves.So, instead of discussing a specific asset class or investing strategies, today's episode is all about questioning our beliefs. Cal will challenge you to think differently, open your mind, find joy, and approach life with insatiable curiosity — a valuable asset for anyone who wants to live life on their terms, not someone else's!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/33Free GiftsDigital Report--> Unlearned: 5 Suggestions to Cut the BS, Unlock Your Best Self, and Find Your True Path.50% discount on Botanic Tonics plant based Feel Free Wellness TonicTo claim your offer, visit JustinDonald.com/33 for all the details.Get 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.

As investors, it’s our goal to find opportunities to turn a passive investment into a major return. But when things go wrong, what can we do to ensure that we aren’t positioned to take a major loss? In 2009, Hans Box took a leap of faith, quit his job at PriceWaterhouseCooper, and bought a handful of rental properties. Under a client’s mentorship, he invested a substantial amount of his net worth into a deal overseeing 800 units of multifamily housing. When things started to go wrong, Hans’s partners voted for him and his current business partner to take over the deal, and he was able to take the investment from the negatives to a 24% return. Today, Hans brings his CPA skills to the podcast to share the story of how salvaging a high-risk deal informed his unique outlook on investing. You’ll learn what a deal should look like and how to interpret it, what you can do to minimize and mitigate your risk as you structure it, and how creating reliable streams of passive income have allowed Hans to focus on the things he loves the most about investing.Key TakeawaysHow Hans’ first deal taught him the value of being able to remove an underperforming sponsor or manager. How partners, sponsors, managers, and operating teams should perform under ideal circumstances.How to factor and evaluate what a return is actually going to look like, financial strength, and profitability.Why lifestyle investing isn’t about sitting on a beach for the rest of your life. The unique value of being both a mentor and a mentee - and why tracking your progress is so essential to effective coaching.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/11Get 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 in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.

Many lifestyle investors don’t just want to live life on their terms - they want to use their skills and knowledge to help others do the same. It’s why so many of us use our time to focus on building incredible networks, launch masterminds, and work to become better spouses, parents, and friends. It’s also what naturally leads some lifestyle investors into the world of franchising. Today’s guest, Erik Van Horn, understands this well. He’s founded the Franchise Tribe, a mastermind for franchise owners, as well as the host of the Franchise Secrets podcast - and he consistently brings real value into people’s lives while generating very serious ROI. He’s also a participant of Clubhouse, a platform where people can join virtual rooms, share stages, and listen in - and participate in - real conversations about life and business. In this episode of the podcast, I’m excited to talk to Erik about the power and value of networks, doing work because you want to (not because you need to), and the ins and outs of franchise deals.Key TakeawaysHow the Franchise Tribe helped countless business owners when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Why Erik got “back into the game” and launched his mastermind despite having reliable streams of low-maintenance passive income. The biggest mistake that young franchisors make.What to look for when bringing in team members and partners as a lifestyle investor.Why the magic happens when your time no longer has to produce income.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/10Get 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 in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.

However, this doesn’t always prove to be the case, and many business owners experience real shocks as they transition into being passive or semi-passive investors.

We discuss the unique perspective on investing he inherited from his family and how he’s passing it on to his kids, how to analyze and assess many different factors as you consider investments, and what truly constitutes a life well-lived.Key TakeawaysWhy people often think selling their businesses will make their lives easier - and why putting their cash to work often proves to be extremely difficult. What makes entrepreneurship so risky - and why Robert attributes his success to hitting a bunch of singles, not home runs.Tools you can use to better understand contracts, licensing agreements, and other important components of deals if you’ve never had formal legal training.What wealth and freedom really mean to Robert. How you can learn from struggle, failure, and missed opportunities.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/9Get 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 in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.You can also help by providing an honest rating & review.
