Underdog Empowerment

Today we’re talking real estate and crypto, and how to get started. Joe Robert grew up wanting to be independent, and so at a young age he started shoveling snow and doing landscaping.  Once he started working, he never stopped.  Joe was able to purchase his first property at the age of 19, which was unheard of back then.  He learned quickly that real estate was a great avenue to invest in.  Joe began his real estate career by establishing relationships and trust with the community.   Joe knows how to spot a quality property and location to invest in.  A lot of people are into flipping properties quickly, but often it can pay off to hold onto a property for 10+ years.  You can make passive income on it in the meantime and then sell when it’s appreciated enough. Another up and coming investment opportunity is in crypto.  Joe shares all his tips and tricks for getting started.

Seth Humphrey has always been a hustler.  He focused on what he wanted, didn’t want to rely on anyone, and that got him into some trouble.  Selling pot in college led to Seth having to leave town.  Luckily a friend of his owned a gym and offered Seth a job.  Learning all that he could, Seth went on to open his own gym.  Plenty of hurdles followed, but Seth continued to go full force.  He’s always believed in not talking about your accomplishments, but letting them speak for themselves.   Seth is now involved in the Gorilla Alliance, a group of men that are working towards being their best selves in 4 vital areas of life (family, faith, fitness, finances).  With that, he puts a heavy importance on self care.  Every morning he starts his day off by slowing down in the sauna and getting his day in order. He follows that with a dip in the ice barrel to bring his energy back up and curb his procrastination and stress.

Aryeh Sheinbein is a finance professional that has a lot to share about investment strategies and frameworks for creating generational wealth.  He started his journey the more traditional route, going to college and earning a finance degree.  He then moved onto Wall Street.  That’s where he realized how much, deep down, he was an entrepreneur.  Moving into venture capital, Aryeh realized just how much he liked working with private companies. He now works at providing valuation advisory services to private equity, hedge funds, and business development companies.  Aryeh isn’t about selling someone on something based on his best interests.  He will even tell people not to invest if the rate on their credit card debt is higher than what they would be earning by investing.   Aryeh discusses how Robinhood came to be from an investment need.  Back in the 70’s, companies were moving from pension plans to 401k.  They were no longer funding your future, they were investing your money to fund your own future.  Stocks us
