The Investing “Rules” I Refuse to Follow (And How it Pays Off)

Should you be buying bonds or real estate? And what’s the real path to financial freedom? In this episode, I’m breaking down the investment strategies that have worked for me over the last five years, from stock selection to wealth-building habits. I’ll share why buying individual stocks can be a great move—if done correctly—and why I believe angel investing and bonds aren’t the best options for most people.

Listen in as I dive into the importance of knowing your financial numbers, how to build a personal balance sheet alongside your business, and why the traditional 4% retirement rule may be too conservative. Plus, I explain whether real estate is really the goldmine people think it is and what to consider doing instead.
