In this interview my guest Steve Cook and I talk about his journey from failed businesses to living out his days as a Lifeonaire. Steve discusses how he developed an entrepreneur spirit at a young age. After graduating high school, Steve ventured into the difficult realm of owning restaurants. These businesses were unsuccessful, but Steve was not slowed for long. He then found real estate investing. Steve became an ultra-successful investor controlling millions of dollars in real estate, and he also taught other investors how to get started. Although he was successful and had a perfect life in many peoples’ eyes, his perspective was shifted. He sold some properties until he could pay off others and be debt free. This allowed for the freedom he desired to spend time with his family. This transition sparked the idea for his book “Lifeonaire”, a play on the word millionaire. (Find at https://amzn.to/2TxCpJt) Steve now spends his time helping others invest in real estate and achieve an abundant life via the Lifeonaire company.

This intro episode serves as the trailer for Redefine the American Dream as well as the backstory for me, Levi Hattervig. From this point forward episodes will consist of interview formats once weekly, and the last episode of the month will be a recap of all episodes from that month. Let's be honest, we have all listened to a podcast where we found some great advice and we vowed to implement it in our lives. Then we finish the episode and a few days later the information has vanished. The "RAD Review" at the end of each month is designed to bring back key points from each interview. I will also give more of my own personal input on these topics. It is my goal to equip you with strategies, tips, and motivation as you begin your journey toward your American Dream.
