The Prosperity Perspective: Recent Episodes
Liam Leonard
What do successful business owners do with their money once their businesses take off? What did they do once they made their first $1,000,000 and what would they do differently looking back? We will discover that together on the prosperity perspective podcast.
Joe Rockey is a successful entrepreneur who has built a number of businesses from scratch, including a real estate business that has flourished for over 11 years. In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast, Joe will be sharing some of the biggest challenges he faced when starting his company and how he overcame them.
Hear how Joe learned to navigate his two most prominent hurdles: financial juggling and time management. Joe shares with host Liam Leonard his framework for investing in house flipping when his outcome was real estate rentals and his insight into why it doesn’t matter what you’re selling as long as you know how to properly sell.
Understand the importance of knowing yourself and who you bring into your life, learn to generate passive income with minimal funds, and gain the right skill sets along the way, starting with today.
3 Key Takeaways
- If you know how to sell properly, it won’t matter what you’re selling. Joe breaks down how he connects with people successfully every time.
- Get rid of the fear of failure mindset. If you try to sell something new and completely fail at it, you can move to something else. It’s more important to know that you gave it a shot.
- Your surroundings have a direct effect on the way you respond to crises. Be intentional with the people and atmosphere you surround yourself with.

About Joe Rockey
Joe went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and double majored in accounting and finance. The majors were chosen because they give intrinsic skills that are needed by all businesses–everyone needs to know where their money is and how to get more of it. Finance covered the part of how a company gets more money. However, the best way is through sales. Knowing that sales are the key to every business, Joe worked a variety of commission-only sales positions throughout his time at Duquesne.
Following graduation, Joe worked for three years as a personal financial advisor. In the first year, he was the office’s “rookie of the year.” In the second year, he was the “underclassman of the year,” and by year three, Joe left to create his first real estate business in 2011.
Since then, his businesses have created revenue from properties in a vast array of methods. Some of the more common ways his company creates revenue are by performing land lording services, selling investment grade properties to other investors, and renovating for sale properties.
Outside of his professional world, Joe is a married man with a newly-born son. In 2017, along with Father Boniface Hicks, they created the podcast Father and Joe. The goal of their podcast is to bring individuals closer to God. Joe is also an avid axe thrower–in 2019, he finished 192nd in the International Axe Throwing Federation Championship in Toronto.
Joey Mure is a wealth coach with a passion for helping people achieve financial freedom. He has over 11 years of experience in the mortgage industry, and he knows firsthand the importance of making smart money decisions.
Today, Joey shares with host Liam Leonard the story of his daughter begging him to take her to school and the impact that left on his perception of why he goes to work. Little moments like these acted as the catalyst for Joey’s transition out of the corporate world to start Wealth Without Wall Street, a company that helps people invest in passive income streams.
Reassess what is really going to give you financial freedom–and more importantly, time freedom–on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective. Hear Joey’s insights into each investor’s unique DNA that brings a fresh paradigm to their assessment of passive income opportunities. Understand what type of passive income streams will be the best fit for you based on your personality and strengths through their available quiz, and get Joey’s first-hand advice to investors beginning their passive income journey, unsure where to start.
3 Key Takeaways
- Specific investments can either increase your freedom OR slow it down. Be careful to choose an opportunity that fits well with your personality (or investor DNA).
- Every investor brings a unique DNA that shapes how they view opportunities. Learn yours and make better investments for you, personally.
- There are two major ways you can begin your passive income journey, depending on whether you want to be more actively involved or don’t have the time for that. Joey explains them on the episode today.

About Joey Mure
Nicknamed the “Italian Stallion,” Joey connects the right solution to the right opportunities. When people say “I know a guy”--most of them are referring to Joey Mure. He has a bigger rolodex and even bigger heart, and if that was not enough, he is obsessed with passive income and cash flow, most recently turning a short-term rental business into a mini-empire (without operating it).
Host Liam Leonard sits down with guest Tyler Robertson, CEO and founder of a company that made over $75 million in revenue last year. Tyler started his company from his garage with just $1,000, and today it employs over 230 people. In this episode, Tyler shares his perspective on how he's grown his company and what his strategic framework is for reinvesting profits back into the business. He'll also recall his journey as an entrepreneur and how his goals have changed over time.
Tyler attributes his financial success to a vital mindset and invites entrepreneurs to adopt the same: always look to help people solve problems and the money will follow. He shares what he wished he would have learned much earlier as a shoot-from-the-hip entrepreneur, and it all starts with a question: “What’s the plan?”
Get the most important lessons Tyler learned the hard way about planning and running a company, particularly why you need a clear goal from square one and how letting go of control gets you out of your own way on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast.
3 Key Takeaways
- It is possible to achieve financial security, independence, and flexibility later in life.

3 Key Takeaways
- How Tracey changed her life by deviating from her financial blueprint: the spending narrative you grow up with in your home (and how you can, too).

Malcolm Bell is a jack of all trades with a wealth of experience in business, marketing, and real estate. He's also a self-proclaimed socialite and adrenaline junkie, who has made it a point to learn and grow his social skills. A big part of his success has been his ability to connect with people and build relationships. He's here on The Prosperity Perspective to share his insights and expertise on how you can do the same.

He'll describe his system for meeting new people and expanding your social circle, which has also had the added benefits of improved mental and physical health. The key: focus on being authentic and genuine when building relationships with others. This means being yourself and not trying to be someone that you are not and to listen to what they have to say.

3 Key Takeaways

In 2008, Simon Ree lost a "life changing sum of money" in the global financial crisis. While devastating to his financial security, this experience was later utilized to develop a better way of navigating financial markets. Today on The Prosperity Perspective, Simon joins host Liam Leonard to share some of his findings–particularly, the myths that Wall Street tells us.
The first myth: a 10% return per annum is a fantastic return. Simon argues that this is not the case, and that depending on where you are in your wealth journey, 10% per year is not likely to be life-changing. Another key tenet of Simon's teachings is the importance of compounding. By compounding on a monthly basis, you can create life-changing returns well within a ten year period.
Understand that if you are thinking about engaging in trading, it is best to start small. As a trader, it’s important to reduce the emotional impact that losses can have on your mindset and trading decisions. Simon shows how to begin with a sum of money that if lost, wouldn't affect your ability to pay the rent or put food on the table.
Hear his breakdown on these topics and more as Simon shares his passion for helping others with his knowledge, and discover how his unique system for trading options that he teaches through his online course, The Tao of Trading, can help you.
3 Key Takeaways
- Always start trading with a sum small enough where if lost, it wouldn’t take away the ability to pay for the roof over your head. This will remove unwanted emotional attachment to trading.
- You should expect to lose on some trades as a business expense. If you win more than you lose and your winners are bigger than your losers, you will come out ahead in the end.
- It is just as important to assess your trading performance at the right time than it is to make the assessment. Working with probability will take time; assessing your performance after one trade is pointless.

- First things first: find sales people in ANY niche and glean as much knowledge from them as possible. Then read up on everything you can about sales success.
- After you’ve done due diligence with research, get out there and talk to the people who will make a difference; it’s not going to help to cold call regular people on the street.
- Utilize your skills and start building scar tissue to glean success from your business. Your education will come later in the process.

Bill Nussey shows how he made the transition from a successful software entrepreneur to a clean energy pioneer on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective.
An original venture capitalist, Bill was well versed in growing big fast, with exit opportunities measured in growth rather than cash flow. While the race against his competitors was ongoing, Bill found the opportunity to sell his stock to eager investors. Despite others’ conviction to hold on to the company because it would continue to grow, Bill took the check and it “was one of the most powerful, freeing moments” of his life.
Be inspired today to look less at the cash flow and more on your purpose of continuing to run a business. Decide to invest in what matters most to you–like Bill’s kids’ college education–and gain financial freedom by deciding not to spend the money but save it with the means of making an impact.
Finally, get the insight into Bill’s life conviction to look bigger than yourself and find true purpose in your career. After his exit, Bill’s wife told him to get a job to keep the “fire under his ass” and it was the best prompting she could have given. By giving personally to charitable organizations, Bill wakes up every day with the passion and desire to “keep making money so [he] can keep giving it away!”
3 Key Takeaways
- How taking some money off the table and investing it in his family's future gave him the freedom to take more risks.
- How Bill and his wife decided to give away most of the money they made from his business exit, and how that has been rewarding for them both.
- It’s okay to have a plan B! It gives you the freedom to ensure what matters is taken care of.

After escaping a cult and becoming a liquid millionaire by 26, Jerremy Newsome lost it all three times. Today, he's gained success and is here on The Prosperity Perspective to teach future world leaders how to create wealth using the stock market.
Hear about “the three straws that broke the camel’s back” for Jerremy including the painful realization that he lost all of his money (and borrowed money) in his 20s and the passing of his business partner during a crucial financial time period. Despite these devastating times, Jerremy used his failures to learn more about investment. He shares his hard earned wisdom with you today on why you shouldn’t jump into an entirely new strategy without ample years of research and a clear understanding of margin before you use it.
Also gain insight into your potential to create change in nations by listening to Jerremey’s vision to help other countries gain greater financial literacy. He explains his 90-day program that will give people access to a hundred thousand dollars to trade with in the end. He plans to offer his program to Honduras, Haiti, parts of the US, and parts of other countries. His vision: “If you have the internet, you have income, and you’re educated, the world starts changing.”
3 Key Takeaways
- Pay yourself first. This will help you get started on the right foot financially and ensure you’re prioritizing your long-term financial health.
- Invest in yourself; don’t let past failures dictate your worth as an entrepreneur or human in general. For Jerremy, giving himself the credit he deserved was game-changing.
- Focus on being self-full, not selfish. Jerremy will explain how the two are not the same–and one is far more helpful than the other.

Guest Dustin Heiner brings a new spin to the old analogy: “Teach your students how to fish, because you can duplicate it over and over in as many cities as you want.”
After getting laid off and facing the terrifyingly unclear future of caring for his family, Dustin decided to become an investor. In 6 years, he expanded from one to over 30 properties, each of which are making him $250-400 a month.
His mission today is to help as many people as he can to learn how to invest properly so they can obtain financial freedom. One of the most important components to understand: It’s not YOUR job to become an expert in the location you’re investing in. If you want to work 30 minutes a month, it’s about finding the REAL experts of the area and hiring them on–teaching your fish–to manage your business.
Each property owns inventory. You don’t open an empty convenience store and set out a box of candy bars–the same goes for real estate. Build each business BEFORE you buy the inventory so that you know exactly who will be managing, financing, and repairing your property ahead of time.
Gain the full explanation and more of Dustin’s first-hand insights on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast.
3 Key Takeaways
- Your value doesn't come from your job! Stop associating yourself that way and instead do what lies in your passion.
- If you’re investing in real estate, it’s not your job to become an expert about the new area. Instead, ask the true experts and hire one of them to run the business for you.
- You want to buy the business BEFORE you buy the inventory. Likewise, if you’re buying a property, you’re going to want to know who will manage, finance, and care for it before you start.

Today’s guest visits The Prosperity Perspective from the other side of the pond; Phil Blows brings his insights as crypto expert and founder of AQRU in London, a company that manages 8 different crypto-related businesses within it.
Learn where we are on the crypto adoption curve right now from someone who knows about it, such as how it will become not a replacement but be complementary to our currency system. Educate yourself on this currency that “will increasingly become a part of the average portfolio,” including why 99 percent of the 70,000 available bitcoins will not be worth investing in when you look under the hood.
Phil also shares his experience moving from being an employee to running his own company and the fears that came with it. He explains why he’s glad to have taken his time to the age of 26 to launch his company because he needed the knowledge and confidence that comes with years of experience. Get his strategic thinking about where to redeploy the assets they made and his number one advice to entrepreneurs looking to begin their crypto venture.
3 Key Takeaways
- Don’t focus on the money you can gain from a startup. Instead, focus on doing what makes you truly passionate and the money will follow.
- If you start a business and end up as an employee again, you HAVEN’T wasted your time. Companies are more likely to hire someone who founded a business from scratch because of the experience gained.
- Your time is your most valuable asset. Don’t waste it doing things that other team members could do better. In other words, do what you do best.

Today’s guest brings his expert insights to The Prosperity Perspective, with experience investing in, acquiring, and then managing 26 different companies in diverse industries, from real estate to software to call centers. How does he go about managing them all, and in niches outside of his specialization? Xavier Lopez shares today how he learned as he went, including some of the things he wished he would have known about running a business from square one.

Learn how he identified what companies he would invest in by addressing important factors such as “What are my recurring contracts?”
Last, gain his top advice to entrepreneurs looking to begin their investment journey with cash just coming down the pipeline.
3 Key Takeaways

Guest Daniel Martinez decided to pursue entrepreneurship because he wanted the freedom to spend more time with his family. He quickly learned that in order for that to happen, there are things every entrepreneur needs to understand and implement.
Listen alongside host Liam Leonard as Daniel gives his thoughts on living a successful and enriched life, starting with the willingness to pivot when life takes you in a new direction–in his case, from real estate to software. Be okay betting on yourself.
Learn to keep funds going back into the company at all times and know that regardless of niche, your business should be a marketing company or you won’t convert those leads into dollars.
Most importantly, learn to “automate and delegate” wherever possible. Taking a step back and allowing others to handle the reins will free up a surprising amount of time for you to do what you love and do what you do best. Daniel shares all about this and more in this episode of The Prosperity Perspective.
3 Key Takeaways
- Always automate before you delegate. You may find you do not have to delegate at all.
- If you want to build a legacy that goes beyond just you, you need to become a content creator.
- It doesn’t matter what niche your business is in; it NEEDS to be a marketing company.

Marketing expert Wayne Mullins discusses the best leverage move you can make when investing back into the company: your team. Wayne’s team is made almost entirely of people who fit into the “great resignation” era–those with a reputation for being lazy, obsessed with social media, and a poor work ethic.
Yet, Wayne’s team has been active in their positions for six to eight years. As he will explain, it’s not about the cool snack bar or workout rooms but the culture that you foster every day.
In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective, listen alongside host Liam Leonard as our guest elaborates on the two ways to invest back into your people and make an impact: 1) Genuinely care for them and make the choice that will benefit THEM, not the company, and 2) Find ways to help each individual become a better version of themselves.
Reap the reward of watching people lean into who they can become and prove your values, because as Wayne will explain, “Your values aren’t your values until they cost you something.”
3 Key Takeaways
- Your team is your biggest leverage that you can use in your company; invest in them by connecting on an individual basis and watch them elevate the business.
- Your values can’t truly be proven until the moment they will cost you something. Don’t hesitate to put the rubber to the road and act on those values you set beforehand for the business.
- When you reach the sales call, your job should be all but done. Make your marketing do the work for you so that the customer is already sold.

Today’s guest on The Prosperity Perspective is a living example of why you don’t have to have an investing background to become a successful investor. As Brandon Cobb explains, it’s all about thorough observation, intentional networking, and taking diverse approaches.
Hear how real estate was the first thing that took off for Brandon after losing his elevated W2 job suddenly and unexpectedly. He jumped straight into the investment space and didn’t look back, committing to real estate and a partnership that illustrates the importance of synergy and the fulfillment of separate roles in a team.
In this episode, Brandon joins host Liam Leonard to teach listeners to take over their zone of genius and hire out the rest, the benefits of investing back into your business’ marketing strategy, and how he successfully allocated their extra cash to become the professional business that they are today, all in just a handful of years.
3 Key Takeaways
- Find potential investors who will take good care of your money by picking those who take care of their own.
- Consider getting your professional real estate status, whether you’re a new small business owner or neck deep in the process. Brandon explains the benefit of doing this in the episode.
- Start out by finding the people who do what you’d like to do and then give them as much value as possible. Learn as much as you can in the meantime by observing them.

3 Key Takeaways
- While it’s exciting to begin making additional income out of your investments, remember that the best way to make money is to spend less of it.
- If you see an opportunity, don’t wait until later to look into it. Sam made his wealth from recognizing opportunity and starting things before others.
- Do what puts you in your flow zone and keeps you working creatively. Sam decided emails were not in his zone, so he outsourced or removed them from his process.

Everyone has a relationship to money, whether it’s healthy or unhealthy. That relationship affects all other areas of our life. For many of us, including entrepreneurs, we often sabotage that relationship at different points.
Dr. Amanda, AKA “the money healer,” joins Liam Leonard on this episode to share her insight on why we do that, and how to change our mindset to improve the way we see and use money. Whether you earn 20 thousand a year or 200 thousand, if you’re living paycheck to paycheck you have areas where you can improve.
Join Liam and Dr. Amanda in their conversation on building healthy financial habits, and hear her story going from food stamps to six figures.
3 Key Takeaways
- Your habits shape you as a person. This is true for eating and exercising, but we often forget finances as well. Build healthier money habits and watch your life transform.
- Don’t live paycheck to paycheck. The amount you earn is irrelevant, we’re talking about the amount you spend.
- It is true that people don’t start at the same line. Some are born into poor families while others are privileged with wealth. But with the right mindset and lifestyle, it is possible for anyone to reach the same height.

Do you want to make improvements in your life, but don’t know where to start or what your next step should be? Dorian Lam joins Liam Leonard on this episode to discuss how he aligns himself to the vision he is working toward.
Growing up playing baseball and helping on a martial arts team, he knew the value of mentoring to self improve. But he lost sight of that knowledge, and it took a leadership role at his company to help him rediscover the value of coaching, both in life and in business.
Join Dorian and Liam’s conversation on intentionally increasing overall performance for self improvement, including building daily habits and keeping a clear eye on where you want to go.
3 Key Takeaways
- Find mentors to help you in different areas of your life. They don’t have to be all-encompassing, but coach you through specific steps to improve.
- Remove toxicity and negativity from your life, and focus on positive energy.
- Improving your life is about the small steps. Start building healthy habits by doing the small things, such as waking up earlier or going for a walk outside.

Leo Marte, the owner of Abundant Advisors, joins host Liam Leonard on today’s episode of The Prosperity Perspective to share his perspective on the investment ideology of being an entrepreneur.
Leo’s where to start: as a solopreneur and as an entrepreneur with multiple employees, there are different strategies to pursue in the beginning.
As a solopreneur, it's very easy to open a retirement plan. And the limits of the amount of money that you can put in are significantly higher than a regular employee has because you can contribute as both the employer and the employee.
As an entrepreneur with multiple employees, your math is a little bit more complicated because then you have to delve into discrimination testing and top-heavy testing. You have to make sure that your high earners are not solely taking advantage of any retirement plan and then your low earners are not. The IRS rules have been created so that everybody can partake in the plan, but that also has a significant cost that is added to the business owner.
3 Key Takeaways
- Start investing in simple things like 401k’s and Roth IRAs.
- Entrepreneurs: traditional investment strategies could help you manage some of the risks inherent in running your own business.
- Proceed with caution if you're going into any sort of esoteric investment strategy (i.e. crypto, AMC, Gamestop)

Are you building net worth, or are you growing your cash flow? Stephanie Walter of Erbe Wealth joins Liam Leonard to discuss how she changed her life when she changed her mindset. They discuss her pivot from insurance agency to real estate to ultimately syndication, which is a group of people who invest together that has shown her far greater returns.

What if you’re too old to start a new investment opportunity or change career paths? Stephanie answers these questions and more on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective.
3 Key Takeaways
- When you change your mindset, you open yourself up to new horizons and opportunities that were invisible before.
- Mentors and networks can help nurture you beyond who you are today. Look for good people who want to help you grow.
- Real estate syndication can accelerate your wealth beyond just standard family properties. Don’t know what syndication is? Learn.

About Chris Odegard
Chris Odegard is The Prolific Investor. Chris is an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and followed the only thing he knew for decades, conventional wisdom and conventional investments. This worked relatively well until 2009, when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the volatility, risk, and taxation of the stock market.
In just nine years, Chris recouped the 55% he had lost and multiplied it many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through his book Get Off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments and his alternative investment blog at TheProlificInvestor.net.

About Jeff Davis
Entrepreneur Jeff Davis went from working every night and every weekend with 80+ hour work weeks to traveling for 2 years with his family, seeing 29 countries - all while growing his business.
He attributes making that life changing leap from being stuck in the day to day weeds to being able to travel and focus on the vision to doing 7 particular things.
When any other entrepreneurs go through these same 7 steps, they also build dramatically more scalable businesses, they start growing their companies with more freedom to focus on the bigger impact things and they're also able to pursue other passions in their lives.
Host Liam Leonard is excited to bring a fellow Seattle businessman on the show to share his experience dropping out of school to pursue a life of entrepreneurship. Guest Rand Fishkin also talks about rejecting what you’ve been taught to want and instead focusing on what truly makes you happy–a life that likely won’t involve a focus on 80 hour work weeks, the hustle culture, and your business’s number of hires.
3 Key Takeaways
- Working a full 70 hour work week is likely taking from your productivity next week. According to Rand, the first 15 hours you work are the most productive.
- You DON’T need to suffer to become a great entrepreneur. Instead, focus on sharing your experiences with others to elevate the both of you.
- It is your responsibility to give venture partners an increase in value each year. This doesn’t mean you owe the banks money, but consider investing back into the business.

Today’s guest on The Prosperity Perspective dissects the hard truth of following the well-beaten path for entrepreneurs and coming up unhappy. Guest Chris Dayley will share his hard-learned experience with host Liam Leonard that you shouldn’t do what others are telling you to just because you don’t know what you want. Chris shares how much better his life was when he stopped trying to scale, focused on partner relationships, and even better prepared himself for a zombie apocalypse.
3 Key Takeaways
- Get yourself to a place where you can say no to clients who would be a bad fit. You will get so much more fulfillment when both parties are happy.

- It is never a bad idea to invest in your self-development, even if that’s the only investment you are making for the business right now.

About David Mulonas
David Mulonas an established corporate IT Project Manager and the host of the Something On My Mind Personal Finance podcast. He is also the author of I'm Not Flipping Burgers When I’m 70 (Personal Finance) as well as a financial coach who provides comprehensive planning for budgeting, debt management, home ownership and tools to invest for the future. He's also dabbled in side hustles from renting homes to making money with stock options.
The Story Behind David’s Podcast Venture:
When I met Cindy she was destitute: bankrupt, in foreclosure, homeless and abused by her ex-husband–and she was paying him alimony! As for me, I was out of work and had to pretend to be the HR department by forwarding an 800-number to my phone at my former job so that I could refinance my home just before the financial crisis (during my divorce).
We both had custody of our kids and we had a lot of "fixing" to do with our lives. We raised our kids successfully and built up portfolios for successful financial wealth over the last 10 years.
In time, Cindy went from the processing department to COO of a national financial wealth management firm with no formal college, and I became a published author in personal finance. We have also survived the unexpected with Cindy being hit by a car walking across the street along with two bouts of COVID. So we've been through things.
With our podcast, we cover all things finance, relationships and we mix-in personal and offbeat stories. So we are realists, but we’re always mixing humor into the equation.
Hence: we like to give back with our stories while helping people achieve their financial goals.

- The sweet spot that allows most people to push past their financial filters securely.
- How you may need to do your research into letting go of the past.
About Zachary Juergensen
DIY Wealth is on every podcasting platform, but in a nutshell I couple deeper philosophical thought and humor with gaining reasonable financial freedom in order to better identify for individuals what a life truly well lived is within the constructs of a capitalistic structure.
I've essentially went from being in debt in my early 20's with poor money management and financial behavior patterns to amassing a net worth of $1MM by 31. I have enough passive income to essentially "retire", or as I prefer to label it unplugging. Everything has been self education regarding building wealth and now I'm helping people by answering their questions. My mouth has zero filter and I'll joke about anything along the way to paint a humorous picture. Using your words and storytelling is a craft I love. I did go to school for business management at W.P. Carey. I hold positions in the markets, cryptos and hold a real estate portfolio among other things. I officially unplugged as of SEPT 8th 2021. I hope to grow, share my message, and truly change lives as my future journeys unfold all while dishing out healthy heaps of laughter. I am absolutely committed to making people laugh, sharing my knowledge base, answering questions, and merging it with a better line of thinking in order for individuals to plug into a more enhanced way of living.

They will also spend time breaking down why you should look at IULs, making the wiser choice to invest cash from your insurance and replenish those funds.
3 Key Takeaways
- Why starting with taxes for your investments will set you up for long term income.
- The 3 crucial steps of research Connor makes before deciding where to invest his money.
- Why Connor’s first go-to strategy is depreciation.
About Dr. Connor Robertson
Connor Robertson began his business journey in a place you wouldn’t expect: by going to the chiropractor after years of spinal pain, following an accident. Connor decided that the relief he felt was worth spreading, obtaining his doctorate as a chiropractor in college, motivated and funded by his family.
But Connor soon realized that his interests didn’t lie in chiropractic, deciding to turn a total 180 degrees and invest in a tech company, which is now a fully grown, multi-service business. Connor also used research along with trial and error to become nothing short of an expert on how to handle tax rules the right way. Now, Connor is also host of his own podcast where he shares his knowledge with clients and friends alike from his booming tech experience.

Guest Stewart Townsend
On this episode of The Prosperity Perspective, host Liam Leonard talks with a guest several time zones away--on the other side of the ocean. But though Stewart Townsend lives in England, the struggles of dealing with home life events and what seem to be major investment disasters is quite the same.
Join their discussion today about how Stewart realized the hard way that entrepreneurial life is not all flowered shirts and successful furniture companies, and learn how Stewart grew the mentality to see failure as simply a learning block. Ultimately, Stewart will use his life examples to tell you why you shouldn’t let the bright lights blind you and instead examine the investment risk’s impact on your family and friends first to ensure a longtime, successful financial station.
3 Key Takeaways
- Why you should examine your age and a new investment’s future projection before signing on
- What it really means to pay your due diligence before investing in something foreign to you
- The importance of examining a new risk’s impact on your family and friends first above all else
About Stewart Townsend
Stewart Townsend has had a unique business life experience, beginning his career working for two corporations. While his positions were fruitful, Stewart realized that even though corporate is easier, he wanted to invest in his entrepreneurial side.
Stewart then moved to invest in two startups, both risky, and both of which ended up failing in the long game. But instead of focusing on the failure, Stewart decided to see his failures as learning potential, continuing his investment journey but with more research and future-minded framing. Stewart learned to let the less-ideal business situations slide off his back, mindfully working through life’s struggles such as divorce and friendships lost to become the successful businessman he is today as part founder of two different businesses and owner of a major consultancy for sales.

Guest Lane Kawaoka
Host Liam Leonard invites a guest today in his own realm of investments; Lane Kawaoka has been investing in property since he was a college student.

Lane breaks down the essential decisions on today’s episode of the Prosperity Perspective, outlining what steps you must take as a property owner, from house one to property fifteen and beyond. He will also explain the “pecking order of properties” discovered by him and his partner, and share why investing in property is akin to buying a lemonade stand.

- Why you should keep the entrepreneurs you meet on your journey in your database
About Lane Kawaoka
Lane began his career as an engineer. And while he valued getting his degree, Lane found skill in seeing the right way to manage property investments. What began as an experimental side-gig in college soon expanded to his full financial focus. Lane had to learn to push through the identity crisis of giving up his “title” as engineer, promoting his family to buckle down along with his decision and take a fully-invested chance on his entrepreneurial interest.
But that decision proved to be a highly researched, informed one, and you’ll quickly see the value that Lane brings not only to his personal finances but to others looking to succeed in property management since his first rental in 2009. Not only does he own 4,oo0 units, a top 50 investing podcast, and position of an Amazon best seller, he also helps everyone out of “the corrupt Wall Street roller coaster” of the typical 401K and stock market, bringing higher returns that benefit the middle class of America.
