$500M Without Social Media — The Playbook Behind the Fund | Koloa Wolfgramm | Ep 074

Welcome to The Infinite Income Podcast with Tanner Chidester — founder, CEO, investor, and online coaching expert.

In this episode, I sit down with Koloa Wolfgramm — Yale Law grad turned 9-figure real estate fund manager — to break down how he built a $500M portfolio from scratch during law school, with no social media, and no institutional capital.

We dive deep into how he raised millions without a track record, why operations are the secret weapon most entrepreneurs ignore, and how family, faith, and long-term thinking helped him build a business that lasts.

If you want to hear what it really takes to succeed without selling your soul — and why conviction, competence, and character still win — this one’s for you.
