Agency, the ability to live life on your terms, is the product of financial knowledge and cash flowing assets. Most people focus on real estate when seeking cash flow, and while effective, it is extremely slow to achieve. Business cash flow can be and for centuries has been a much faster method and enables agency at a far greater scale than real estate can achieve alone. True agency requires betting on the Number 1 asset, YOU...and a business is a more direct reflection of your value than is your rental property.

Highlights

• The inherent freedoms of living and doing business in Cape Coral and how it attracts new residents
• Importance of focusing on directly owned businesses to gain agency and preserving freedoms in America
• The benefits of owning real estate over other investments like gold, stressing the importance of directly owned assets for financial growth
• Why you should jump in, learn and gain experience in the investment and property market

• The industrialization's role in creating financial dependence and degradation of family units

I interviewed a longtime friend, fellow investor and client, Craig from Oregon. He is a second-generation steward of a few hundred doors he and his father built and operated for over half of a century. We discuss the foundations they've built with the agency they've experienced over the years and the benefits of these tools for giving. We get as much as we give when it comes to charity - listen in and find out how.

Highlights

• Craig’s family involvement in his business
• The current size of his investment portfolio
• Comparison between Craig's and his parents' foundations
• Craig’s advice on choosing the right attorney for creating a personal foundation
