Six years ago, I was working full-time as an air traffic controller—feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and searching for more. I took a big risk, cashed out my 401(k), and went all in on real estate. But, I knew if I was going to be all in, I needed to build my personal brand. I didn’t know anything about content or podcasting—but I committed, showed up consistently, and figured out along the way. Today, the brand has helped me scale multiple businesses, including a hotel fund on an $80M+ portfolio, raise millions in capital, and connect with an audience that continues to grow and inspire me.
