CLICK FOR FREE GUIDE - OWN APARTMENTS WITHOUT ANY OF THE WORK

What does success really cost when you are building a business and raising a family at the same time?

Kenny sits down with Dan Kinley, a commercial real estate veteran, capital raiser, and father reflecting honestly on the seasons he cannot get back.

Dan shares what it was like working 50 to 60 hour weeks, coming home just in time for bedtime, and realizing later how fast childhood moves. He opens up about the moment he made a decision to stop missing events, and the regret of not making that decision sooner.

This is a conversation about business, investing, relationships, and presence. Not from theory, but from lived experience.

In this episode, we cover:

• What it feels like to realize you were not absent, but not present enough
• The decision Dan made later in life to stop missing his kids’ events
• Why time compounds faster than money
• How relationships built outside of business turned into lifelong partnerships
• The shift from active operations to capital raising
• Why freedom focused investing matters for fathers
• Lessons Dan wishes he learned about money and investing at 18
• How fatherhood changes when kids leave home
• Why your marriage deserves attention after the kids grow up

Key Takeaway

You can rebuild finances. You cannot rewind childhood.

Presence is an investment. The earlier you make it, the greater the return.
