In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Brian Luebben to break down how he built wealth rapidly by combining real estate investing, business buying, and a disciplined cash flow strategy.

Brian shares how he transitioned from a successful corporate sales career to financial freedom in just a few years—starting with house hacking and co-living, then scaling into short-term rentals, business acquisitions, and eventually commercial real estate. He explains why many investors get stuck chasing equity instead of cash flow, and how clarity around income goals can simplify investing decisions.

You'll also hear practical insights on buying cash-flowing businesses, using real estate for tax advantages like cost segregation, and why mindset alone isn't enough without a clear execution plan. If you're a high-income earner or investor trying to decide between real estate, business ownership, or both, this conversation offers a clear framework for building wealth with intention.
