Podcast appearances and mentions of chris odegard

We're bringing back one of our favorite episodes packed with an inspiring journey of Chris Odegard as he took a transformative turn when he lost 55% of his assets in his mid-40s, prompting him to explore alternative investment strategies. Inspired by Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Odegard shifted from traditional investing methods, such as stocks and 401(k)s, to real estate, particularly focusing on duplexes, apartments, and self-storage through syndication. His new approach not only helped him recover his losses but also generated impressive annual returns of over 20%, alongside strategic tax benefits, including paying zero taxes in 2019. This success solidified his belief in the power of alternative investments and the importance of an open mind when considering financial opportunities. In addition to his personal achievements, Odegard wrote a book titled Get Off Your Ass and Manage Your Money, which critiques traditional investment methods and advocates for more effective tax strategies and alternative approaches like real estate syndication. The book compares conventional and unconventional investment options, helping readers understand why 401(k)s and the stock market may not be ideal for long-term wealth-building. For those looking to explore alternative investments and gain insights from his experiences, Chris offers valuable resources through his website. If you're ready to take control of your financial future, book a free virtual coffee chat with him to discuss investment strategies and gain personalized advice and start your journey towards smarter, more profitable investments.

What if I told you that everything we've been taught about money is wrong? That the best thing you can do to manage and build your wealth is to totally reframe how you think about it? That's what this conversation with Chris Odegard is all about. Chris believes that we've all been given well meaning, but outdated advice. There are ways we can make our money  work for us to create and manage significant wealth and freedom, even after divorce. In the interview we address so many areas of wealth including what being wealthy  even means, (hint - freedom!), how we learn about money and why it's not a great place to frame our strategy from, how to get better advice and so many ways we can expand our beliefs and understanding of what's possible financially. Even if we're getting divorced late in life or have experienced signification frustration or loss financially. There is SO much great info here.  Some of the topics we cover in the interview:Why being a conventional investor may not build the wealth you think it willHow creating assets that bring in revenue can give you incredible freedomWhy continuing to go to school isn't always the best way to building wealthWhat to do after divorce when your income and revenue streams are diminishedWhy changing the way you think about money is the most important first step to building wealthWhy debt isn't always bad Working as an employee may not allow you to build the wealth you really wantThe reality of your returns and tax benefits from a 401k and why there may be a better way to invest your moneyWhy the people you hang out with can influence your wealth statusWhat exactly is passive income and how you can create itThe best ways to expand your knowledge on money and investingHow to calculate the number that makes you rich that's unique to youHow tax codes determine our investment behavior and how to make them work for you I am wholeheartedly committed to expanding my own knowledge about money and investing and love getting new perspectives. Every little bit of information is valuable. Every conversation is an invitation to step up and embrace new possibilities and opportunities. I want all women to have freedom to live a life free from worry and stress about money. And we CAN! The first step is to believe it, the second step is to start learning and sharing as much as we can. Take a listen and please share and review. xoxo Connect with See The Upside:Website - www.SeetheUpside.comInstagram - @see.theupsideFacebook - See The UpsideConnect with Chris:Website: https://theprolificinvestor.net/Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisodegard/Chris' Book - Get off your A$$ and Manage your Money

Private Equity and Alternative investments have outperformed the public markets 35 out of the last 35 years. However, few people are aware of investing in alternative investments such as Real Estate syndications in apartment buildings, Self-Storage facilities, and Mobile Home Parks, not to mention a plethora of other alternative opportunities like life insurance settlements, litigation finance, cannabis, and so many other ways to invest. As it stands, alternative investments only command 13% of U.S. invested capital. Chris Odegard – the Prolific Investor, Author, Alternative Investment Blogger and Educator, got away from “the 401K highway to mediocrity” and has deployed his money into alternative investments and has prospered incredibly well as a result.

Meet Chris Odegard. The Prolific Investor. Chris was a conventional investor for most of his adult life. If you have read Cashflow Quadrant, Chris was an E, an employee. He was raised in a family of employees. He asked "What is an entrepreneur?" He didn't know any, he had no interest or desire of being an entrepreneur or a business owner. He had been in corporate america all of his career. And then in 2009, he had what he finally referred to as his illiquidity event, where he lost 55% of his assets through a divorce, and it could have been anything, but in his case, it was a divorce. And coincidentally, around that time, a friend of his said, Hey, you should read this book... So he bought said book and set it aside for too long. Finally, he picked it up one day and read it. And of course it was Robert Kiyosaki's rich dad, poor dad. So now, his mind was open to all these other things that he didn't grow up with. Different types of investing and real, tangible assets. So he quickly started moving in that direction. Chris did what's called an in-service transfer of all the 401k matching money that the Boeing company had ever paid in over the decades. He'd worked there and rolled it over into a self-directed IRA. He started, and that was his way of jump starting into real estate. Chris shares with us his successes, failures and some deep insight into real options to get started. Listen in friends for a great story of unlearning and relearning with Chris Odegard.

This worked relatively well until 2009, when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the volatility, risk, and taxation of the stock market.In just nine years, Chris recouped the 55% he had lost and multiplied it many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through his book Get Off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments and his alternative investment blog at TheProlificInvestor.net.

Chris Odegard is Dr. Brad Miller's guest on Episode 206 of “The Beyond Adversity Podcast.” Chris grew up in a family of employees like most people. All he knew was that you went to school, you go to college, you get a job and then work and hopefully you get a pension by the end. That's all he did in his life until he went through a divorce with a 19-year marriage and lost 55% of his assets because of it. He changed the way he invested his money and moved away from conventional investments like stocks, bonds and mutual funds to investments that are not publicly traded. Nine years later, he made back the assets he lost and multiplied it many times over. Because of this, he never had to work for anybody ever again. Chris believes that yes, money can't buy you happiness but neither can poverty. Having money makes a lot of things easier for you. That life is so much easier with it than without it. It's not the money itself that is loved but the things it can do for yourself, your family, and your community. He also believes in a study that up to a certain point and amount, money increases your quality of life and happiness but once you go beyond that point then there is no correlation anymore. One time, his friend Bill told him about a book that he should read. It was “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. It took him a long time before he started reading it but when he did, he was inspired to change how invested. Because of that, he went to a free seminar of Robert Kiyosaki's company. His car won't start when he was trying to go but he managed to find a way to go anyway. By finding a car rental company that would drop a car off. He was really motivated to go to the seminar which is why he did that. He always thinks about how if he was still married, he wouldn't be where he is now. Because his wife would always talk him down on things he wanted to do. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith. Episode 206 of The Beyond Adversity Podcast is a must listen for anyone who's trying to invest while going through adversity, whether it's depression, a divorce, a massive debt, etc. You should not give up hope just because of a few bumps along the road. Persevering towards your dreams regardless of adversity is key to having a happy and hopeful life. “The Beyond Adversity Podcast with Dr. Brad Miller is published weekly with the mission of helping people “Grow Through What They Go Through” as they navigate adversity and discover their promised life of peace, prosperity, and purpose.  Website: https://theprolificinvestor.net/ (https://theprolificinvestor.net/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheProlificInvestor (https://www.facebook.com/TheProlificInvestor) Twitter: https://twitter.com/prolific_the (https://twitter.com/prolific_the) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QKVP2PeBCbSAxA3GF71jg (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QKVP2PeBCbSAxA3GF71jg) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theprolificinvestor (https://www.instagram.com/theprolificinvestor)

Chris is an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and followed the only thing he knew for decades, conventional wisdom and conventional investments. This worked relatively well until 2009 when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the volatility, risk, and taxation of the stock market (alternative investments). In just nine years, Chris recouped the 55% he had lost and multiplied it many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through this alternative investment blog at TheProlificInvestor.net. Ideas that we discuss in the episode include: Conventional investing wisdom and pros and cons Alternative investments and pros and cons The problem with 401Ks and IRAs Why a single family rental is a better investment than a 401K How quickly you can build wealth with alternatives Thank you as always to this week's sponsor, CityVest: https://bit.ly/37AOgkp

Chris Odegard's journey was borne out of hardship. He lost 55% of his assets during his mid-40s! He was on his 401k highway to mediocrity. Then he looked at the time he was spending versus the money he was making, and it just wasn't worth it. It wasn't until a note fund came into place. And that was when Chris got into the apartment syndication space. Then he quit his corporate job and never had to work again if he didn't want to. Join Chad Ackerman as he talks to Chris Odegard about his journey into syndication. Learn what resources he used to help him get to where he is now. Discover why Chris only invests in appreciating assets. And find out more about passive ownership. 

Hey y'all!! Today we are going to be looking at our 401K's. I am bring you an interview with Chris Odegard, The Prolific Investor. Chris is an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and followed the only thing he knew for decades, conventional wisdom and conventional investments. This worked relatively well until 2009, when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow.

What's wrong with 401Ks anyway? "It is a very different time now, and I don't believe this path will work for my children and other young people today. They will need to be smarter at a younger age than I was. A look at some statistics from a study conducted by GoBankingRates.com clearly tell us that conventional wisdom isn't working": 34% of Americans have $0 in savings 69% of Americans have less than $10K in saving 46% of Americans have $0 in retirement savings 65% of Americans have less than $10K in retirement savings 49% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck 36% of Americans believe they are ready for retirement Email: chris@jcesolutions.net _____________________________ STEP 1: Need passive income clarity??
