Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most.  I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty.   This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all.   In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living. What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

Real Estate Syndication Investment Overview Michael and Stewart explored the world of real estate syndication and why it has become a practical alternative to traditional property ownership. They explained how 25 to 50 investors can pool their capital to purchase larger properties, giving individuals access to substantial real estate deals without managing the property themselves. Stewart pointed out that although real estate is generally less liquid than stocks, the future looks promising as tokenization grows and could make private deals more accessible within the next few years. Understanding Investment Risks and Rewards Michael and Stewart broke down the complexities of alternative investments, especially in areas like cryptocurrency and innovative financial models. Stewart explained SEC rules for accredited investors and shared that typical syndicate minimums start at $50,000, with $25,000 possible for new investor relationships. They highlighted the potential for recurring cash flow, attractive tax advantages, and average annual returns around 13.5 percent, with a minimum expected return of 6.5 percent in the first year. Real Estate Tax Depreciation Benefits The conversation shifted into tax strategy, where Stewart explained how depreciation and bonus depreciation can significantly impact an investor's bottom line. He described cost recovery, the ability to deduct the cost of an asset over time, and how current tax laws allow for 100 percent bonus depreciation on certain types of personal property. Michael and Stewart emphasized that real estate offers unique tax opportunities through cost segregation, allowing investors to classify a large portion of a property's cost as personal property and deduct it in the first year. Real Estate Investment Tax Benefits and Market Outlook Michael and Stewart emphasized the importance of solid research and guidance from qualified financial professionals when evaluating real estate investments. They discussed how the U.S. economy is heavily tied to real estate and how government incentives often support development. Stewart shared his outlook on the housing market, predicting potential movement in the first half of next year if interest rates ease and new policies, such as down payment support or extended mortgage terms, are introduced. Housing Market and Investment Insights Wrapping up, Michael and Stewart discussed the importance of a balanced housing ecosystem that supports both home ownership and rental opportunities. Stewart encouraged listeners to explore more about their projects at harvardGrace.com and offered a free digital copy of his latest book to help aspiring investors deepen their understanding of real estate investing. Stewart O. Heath, CPA Stewart is the Founder and CEO of Harvard Grace Capital, a private equity real estate investment firm that helps individuals and business owners build wealth faster through hands-off real estate investing that generates passive income, reduces risk, and maximizes tax efficiencies.  Backed by a combined 150+ years of entrepreneurial and CRE experience, Stewart and the Harvard Grace Capital team have raised millions of dollars via syndications, and consistently deliver tax-advantaged 18%+ ROI on well-located commercial real estate assets (office, retail, medical, self-storage, etc.) between Nashville, Tennessee and Birmingham , Alabama.  Harvard Grace Capital stands out in a crowded market because of its focus on stabilized  commercial real estate, which cash flows from day one – a refreshing contrast to high-risk, speculative ventures. Stewart and his team prioritize consistency and resilience in an economy that feels increasingly unpredictable, often reciting their motto: “boring is beautiful.” A Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Stewart brings over 40 years of business experience to the real estate sector. His background spans multifamily and commercial development, construction, management, and investing, but it's his CPA-level financial rigor that gives him an edge in deal analysis and risk mitigation. Stewart's journey has been deeply shaped by his comeback after losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis. Rather than retreating, he rebuilt smarter. He learned how to structure real estate portfolios that provide tax-optimized long-term, reliable returns. That experience now fuels his mission: to help investors navigate uncertain markets with investments that perform through all cycles and beat inflation. More about Stewart:  Served as a COO/CFO across industries including media, manufacturing, and retail; held leadership positions at Tennessee Valley Properties, Creative Trust Ventures, Gaines Manufacturing Company, and more.  Former Board Member of the Freedom Business Alliance, the only global network creating business solutions to human trafficking. Worked as a tax consultant with PwC in the 1980s, creating value or tax savings in the  millions of dollars. Hosted the Growth, Grace & Prosperity Podcast, where he interviewed top entrepreneurs, executives, and wealth builders about what it takes to succeed in business and life.

He's got me beat by $3 billion!

Pedro has worked with many industry icons, including Russell Brunson, Dean Graziosi, and Daymond John (to name a few), who recognized this approach as a game-changer for entrepreneurs.In our conversation, Pedro shares how he built his challenge framework, why his “taste and see” marketing approach outperforms traditional marketing funnels, and how challenges create low-risk, high-leverage cash flow for entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes.

As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful. I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning. In this episode, I discuss: Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.
