If you're listening to the media, all is well in the market. The Dow is doing well, the financial outlook is good and we're definitely not headed for a recession…Nothing to see here!   But in a smoke-and-mirrors economy, nothing is ever as it seems. What looks like a huge pot of gold is nothing more than an illusion, so if you get lured into the market you're doomed to end up with nothing.   How d...

The Fed's 4th rate hike makes it glaringly obvious that we need to snap out of the illusion of low rates, cheap money, and good times.    This move brings a ton of unsettling implications for your financial future, and if you're not paying attention and taking action to protect it, I'm afraid you're on a sinking ship.    How will these rate hikes affect us? Why is this THE WORST time to be anywher...

Between unfathomable rate hikes, yield curve inversions, and what's happening in the stock market, it's clear that a severe recession is on the horizon.  If you're a smart investor, you're using this calm before the storm to find the best investing vehicle and putting your financial ducks in a row while you still can.  We know that real estate is the greatest path to wealth but asset classes aren'...

Real estate is the single greatest investment on earth, but considering where the market's headed, building wealth won't be as easy as wholesale deals, flips, or buy-and-holds.    As interest rates continue to rise, fewer people will be able to get mortgages the traditional way - which will drive strategies like seller financing to the fore.    Creative financing is a solution with a huge opportun...

With interest rates going up, there's no area of our financial lives that hasn't seen eye-watering price hikes, but isn't it funny how the rates on the money you keep in the bank haven't gone up too?    Financial institutions are getting all the benefits of higher interest rates at our expense. So where can we put it if we can't trust them to grow our money?    In today's episode, I talk about why...

All our lives, it's been drummed into us to save our money, put it in the bank, and wait. But what the banks don't tell you is what they do with those hard-earned dollars. Your money doesn't just sit in your account. The banks lend it out, earning up to 1400% on it, while the value of your original deposit erodes.    The good news is, you can opt-out of this rigged system by becoming the bank in y...

If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that the central planners at the helm of our economy can and will sabotage all of us. Instead of handling money with the precision of a scalpel, they chose to attack with a hatchet - and you, me, our children, and future generations will pay dearly for it.    Money and freedom go hand in hand, but the modern-day panopticon that is the money print...

If there's anything the last few years have taught us, it's that we can never be too prepared for a crisis. Whether it's a global pandemic, war, economic pressures, food shortages, or a hurricane; learning how to proactively prepare for hard times is critical, and who better to learn from than a Retired Navy SEAL?    How do we proactively create a plan for hard times? What are the key areas of sel...

For a very long time, real estate has been touted as the safest, smartest investment known to man, but what about right now? There's tremendous pressure on the housing market, interest rates are going up, and we're due for a very painful economic correction.    Many people will tell you this is a great time to take action, and that there's opportunity everywhere, but if you get too comfortable in...

In today's market, everyone seems to be a wholesaler - but instead of making a great deal of money, they are stuck chasing their tails, competing over tiny fish in a tiny pond.    Commercial real estate, on the other hand, is giving investors the opportunity to earn in one deal, what wholesalers earn through multiple properties.    Why waste time fighting over tiny deals and profits in wholesaling...

The concept of mailbox money or passive income has become so bastardized it's lost a lot of its meaning and power. Some of the investment channels that are touted as passive actually require a lot of heavy lifting and active management.  Passive income means having the freedom to live your perfect day, and having money rolling into your bank account while you're on vacation, and there's a hugely u...

Thanks to higher-than-usual levels of inflation, we're seeing mass panic and fear - and where there's panic, bad financial decisions are sure to follow. There are a lot of people trying to buy up as much as they can while their dollars are worth more. Unfortunately, these people are due for a world of hurt by making long-term decisions in a bid to solve a short-term, cyclical problem. Should you b...

For entrepreneurs, nothing takes more mental and emotional horsepower and causes more stress than a big launch.    Whether you're launching a new product or an entirely new business venture, the process of bringing an idea to fruition takes a lot out of us and requires the full force of our problem-solving abilities.     Taming stress, getting out of our heads and knowing when to disengage from th...

Considering that we've been in one of the longest bull runs in history, a huge portion of the investors in the market have never lived through a downturn.  Some of the models that have been thriving for the last few years have never been tested by a significant recession, and short-term rentals are at the top of that list. What will happen to this asset class if things shift? Is there a way to ens...

Passive income is something many people salivate over, but few ever really achieve it. It often sounds like a pipe dream we hear on podcasts and from stages, but it is a possibility. How do people set up a system that earns thousands of dollars in the most hands-off, set-and-forget way?  In 2020, Wealth Without Wall Street founders, Joey Mure and his business partner decided to test out various pa...

There are typically 3 ways we can go about purchasing a car - cash, financing, or leasing. The problem is, that each of these methods requires us to give up our best dollars for a depreciating asset. What if we could buy a car and actually get paid to own it?     This is possible with a specially designed and engineered, whole-life insurance policy. By changing one thing, every car you'll ever own...

Real estate has made more millionaires than any other investing vehicle - you can make money through flips, buy-and-holds and even Airbnbs, but what if you could make a ridiculous amount of money in real estate without owning a single home?    This is possible if you become the bank, and provide the one thing every investor needs more than anything else - capital.    But do you need millions of do...

When you deposit your hard-earned money in the bank, where does it go? Into some huge vault or account where it sits untouched for years? Nope - not at all.     Banks make your hard earned money go to work for them because you were taught to give up control to traditional banks.   Then they use your money to multiply their own to the tune of trillions, while you miss out on returns because you're...

For a number of years, the Fed has been orchestrating a reckless fiscal policy, believing that money printing will allow them to avoid the consequences or kick the can down the road.    Unfortunately, there's no more road left.    The economy is about to be decimated in the worst way possible and everyone's going to feel the pain. You can't afford to bury your head in the sand at this time, pay at...

In this volatile economy, everyone's on the hunt for a way to beat inflation. Do you buy stocks, invest in crypto or just ride out these market conditions?    All these methods involve a ton of risk, which is the last thing you need right now, so what's the safest place to park your money?    In this episode, I'm going to share how to beat inflation in as little as 5 minutes.    Three Things You'l...

Some years ago, I put all my effort and focus into an HGTV pilot. I left my old career behind, burned all the boats and got ready for this opportunity to change my life.    But with one phone call, that dream went down the drain and it felt like my world shattered…   But it hadn't. It turns out that painful moment happened for a reason, and it worked out way better than I ever expected.    In this...

We're approaching the 10th straight week of a fall in the market, and even though we haven't hit bear market territory, we're darn close.  Like most, you're asking yourself "is this the buying opportunity I've been waiting for?"  There's blood in the streets, and everyone says you should take advantage of dips, but buying stocks right now is a trap. There's still a market free fall on the horizon,...

Market cycles are unavoidable, and some investors emerge out of the volatility wealthier, while others lose everything. What separates the two?    Financial intelligence, and being well aware of the forces, levers and complexities that feed into the market.    Without this insight, it's impossible to know when you're making a detrimental move that will end in a painful loss.    Can we ride the wav...

From the day we're born, a set of beliefs is plugged into us, and it governs a lot about our lives, like how we earn money, and whether or not we can build wealth.  We're taught to put money in the bank, trade dollars for hours, and hopefully increase what we earn for that unit of time, but what if everything we've been taught is wrong? What if it's all based on falsehoods and failed dreams?  The...

If you buy into today's hyped up, popular wealth-building advice, success is an NFT or quick scheme away, but all this fanfare isn't backed up by the fundamentals. People give up on a business when it doesn't make money right out the gate. Their timelines are too short, and worst of all, they aren't designing the business to weather the storm.  The journey to financial freedom isn't sexy, it's bui...
