The Legacy Investor with Cameron Philgreen

I had a lovely conversation with Liz Wolfe today, and it went a different direction than a lot of our episodes — all about mindset, and specifically how to trade a scarcity mindset for an abundance one.

Fun fact: she grew up on a sheep farm in western Pennsylvania, came to the city originally for music,...

I really enjoyed this conversation with Will Harvey. Will is a real estate investor turned hard money lender out of the Richmond, Virginia area — and what I appreciate most about him is how honest he is about both the wins and the losses.

It's tactical, it's honest, and August's story is remarkable. August grew up in Iran, mov...

Last year alone his team closed nearly 300 transactions and secured over $1.1 million in down payment ass...

Mike spent about 20 years in the mort...

Some of my favorite episodes of this podcast are when we talk about business, real estate, and building wealth — but none of it really matters if you don't have purpose.

Today's conversation with Dr. B was a p...
