In this episode, Dave Wolcott breaks down the framework inside the Holistic Wealth Strategy and explains why wealth acceleration isn't just about investing—it's about having the right team behind you. Dave shares his early journey as an LP investor across real estate, private credit, energy, and alternative assets, and how two decades of experience led him to build a blueprint inspired by how the top 1% manage wealth. He introduces the 5 phases of the Holistic Wealth Strategy: mindset, financial IQ, building your dream team, asset repositioning, and finally, creating powerful passive income streams.

Dave also highlights why most investors plateau—not because of lack of opportunity, but lack of infrastructure, strategy, and guidance. He explains why wealth needs protection, proactive tax planning, and advisors who specialize in alternative investments—not generic financial planning. You'll learn how to assemble your own wealth "Dream Team," avoid blind spots, simplify complexity, and navigate toward a 100-year wealth plan with clarity and confidence.

Today, we have a truly inspiring guest joining us, Barry Garapedian. Barry is a 39-year Wall Street veteran and founder of Mag7 Consultants, and he's made it his mission to empower the next generation of leaders. With decades of experience in family governance, coaching heirs, and guiding young minds, Barry has distilled what he calls the "16 attributes of high performance"—essential skills, habits, and values that go far beyond what's taught in schools.

Barry's impact reaches deep into the lives of Gen Z and young professionals, helping them build character, confidence, and real-world legacy—not just financial wealth. Through Mag7, he works directly with clients aged 13 to 28, giving them unfair competitive advantages, from networking and high-performance habits to emotional intelligence and the art of connection. His approach is hands-on, with practical methods like writing gratitude notes, cultivating high-performance habits, and tackling healthy challenges that drive growth and self-esteem.

In this episode, Dave Wolcott shares the pivotal journey that pushed him beyond traditional financial advice and into the world of alternative investing. From serving in the Marine Corps to suddenly becoming a father of triplets, Dave realized that maxing out retirement accounts wasn't enough to secure his family's future. That moment launched a 20-year pursuit into real estate, private credit, oil and gas, and other non-correlated assets—ultimately shaping the investment thesis behind Pantheon and the Holistic Wealth Strategy.

Dave breaks down why active real estate often becomes a second job and why most investors are better served focusing on their strengths while leveraging passive investments that deliver cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term appreciation. He closes with actionable advice for 2025: invest in yourself, prioritize your health and relationships, and elevate your financial IQ through mentors and masterminds.
