How did you actually get into being a wealth strategist? It all started for me basically when I broke myself when I was about 19 or 20 years old, right? So before I got involved in the wealth and investing world, I was a burnt-out personal trainer. I was getting up at 4 AM in the morning, I'd be training clients until about 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock at night. And I really just got to the point of going, this shit's broken. This system that we're taught that we're supposed to follow in life is a system that's designed to turn people into a financial slave. And from that moment on, everything shifted in my life. I got out of everything I was doing in a very short period of time. I wanted to get in real estate, started in residential real estate. And then 20 years later, you know, this is what I've been teaching, speaking, training around all over the different world and worked with thousands of investors and done billions of dollars worth of deals and helping people to create freedom because there's a better way to do life.
