Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video in which Ryan recounts meeting a 36-year-old alternative investor with an $8M net worth. The anecdote introduces the term “alternative investor,” describes Ryan's early steps (looking for deployment opportunities, setting up two infinite banking policies) and a life-changing franchise equity investment opportunity requiring a near-$1M commitment that yielded six-figure returns.
I met a guy who was looking.
At a franchise.
And he was 36.
Years old, and he had an $8 million net worth. So his name's Ryan.
I call him my goat. Did you inherit money? Like, I've never seen a net worth on a guy who's 36 years old like this. Like, what do you do? He was like, no, I'm an alternative investor. This was like, back in 2017, I was like, an alternative investor. What's that? He changed my life by throwing this term out. Alternative investor, which I quickly became well studied at. What does this mean? I started looking people. I started looking for ways to deploy money. I set up two infinite banking policies. I put that money to work for me when I was looking for just to deploy money. A franchise company came to me to.
Raise money and said, we want to.
Put you on the board, but you.
Got to give us nearly a million dollars.
Like, you buy equity into our company, and what we're going to give you, this is going to return to you six figures.
And I was like.
So it's literally because I was on the wavelength, that opportunity never came to me before that, and it hasn't come to me since. Now those people.
