Today, I’m talking with Brian Beers. Brian is an entrepreneur and investor who took over his Dad’s small auto repair business and grew it from just a handful of shops, to a 33 location enterprise that serves the Philadelphia and New Jersey regions. 

The company – which operates Midas franchises – employs 200+ people, and does $40M in revenue. 

Brain’s now on a mission to help others build a fortune through franchising.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 

✅ The creative financing options Brian used to bootstrap and scale a $40M franchise – and how he did it despite having little to no experience. 

✅ How to transition out of your 9-5 and start a franchise that leads to long-term wealth – including some of the top franchising opportunities to consider. 

✅ How to replace yourself and recruit a trusted operator who can oversee daily operations, so you can gain freedom and live life on your terms.

In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s important to have a plan B for yourself and your family – one that offers a safer place to live in times of crisis, while also providing you with greater access to global business and lifestyle opportunities.

That’s why I’m excited to be speaking with Dominic Volek, Group Head of Private Clients at Henley & Partners – the global leader in residence and citizenship by investment. 

The company has over 55 offices worldwide and has helped over 25,000 entrepreneurs and international investors secure global citizenship.

In our conversation, we discuss why now is the ideal time for entrepreneurs to diversify their portfolios by obtaining additional residency and citizenship. Dominic explains how this approach opens doors to expanded travel freedom, new investment opportunities, better education, and a more versatile lifestyle. Citizenship can even be passed down through generations, so it’s a great way to set your family up for future success.




In this episode, you’ll learn:




✅ How ultra-wealthy families use domicile diversification to protect their wealth from potential political, economic, and environmental risks.

✅ Strategies for getting a fast-track to a second passport without needing to relocate and change your current lifestyle and base of operations.

✅ The biggest misconceptions about residence vs citizenship and how to choose the most tax-efficient option that aligns with your long-term personal goals and financial strategy.

187: A Guide To Becoming A Global Citizen with Dominic Volek

Today, I’m talking with my friend, and one of the original members of The Lifestyle Investor Mastermind group, Asim Hafeez. 

Asim is also the owner and president of Empower Energy Solutions – a solar panel business that’s brought in over $200 million in revenue to date. 

While that’s definitely impressive, his success didn’t come without having to overcome some major setbacks as an entrepreneur. But as you’ll come to hear in our conversation, his stick-to-itiveness and selfless leadership allowed him to persevere. 

You’re also going to hear us talk about how he got started as a Lifestyle Investor and why seemingly small wins – like covering the cost of Netflix – meant so much in the beginning. Nowadays, Asim’s passive income covers much more than that, and allows him to live life on his terms. 




In this episode, you’ll learn:




✅ The lifetime value of one coaching call – and why Asim believes that the ROI of the Lifestyle Investor Mastermind is infinite.

✅ The story of how Asim saved a failing solar company – and why he’s helping his employees create a job optional life.  

✅ Asim’s strategies for creating passive income – and the steps anyone can take to cover their monthly expenses (even the smallest obligations), so they can start to build a life on their terms.

186: TLI Member Spotlight: Unlocking Passive Income by Starting Small with Asim Hafeez

Today, I’m talking to Jim Dew, who is the CEO and Founder of Dew Wealth Management – a firm that builds virtual family offices, specifically for entrepreneurs.

You may be wondering, what exactly is a virtual family office? Well, entrepreneurs and investors typically have a number of professionals in their corner to help manage their wealth – attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, bankers, and more. The problem is, these specialists don’t always communicate with one another. And if there’s no coordination or united vision, it can really hurt how the wealth gets managed.

Traditional family offices fix this by assembling a dedicated team offering personalized financial services. But they're costly, usually reserved for those with over $200M.

That’s where the virtual family office comes in. By offering services virtually, operating costs are drastically cut, allowing entrepreneurs to access expert advice previously exclusive to the super-rich.

THIS is what today’s episode is all about. Jim’s going to share insights from nearly 30 years of experience building virtual family offices. You’ll learn what to look for when hiring a team and unique strategies to protect, manage, and grow your wealth!

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 

✅ The asset protection playbook for every stage of your business, including insights into different practical tax scenarios.

✅ The criteria for evaluating top-tier tax and wealth advisors and why having “A players” on your team is non-negotiable for managing wealth.

✅ Strategies for smartly applying the Augusta Rule, the tax advantages of HSAs, and the strategic benefits of employing your children.

184: Member Spotlight: Tax-Free Investing Strategies with Nick Najjar

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script! If you tuned in to last week’s episode, you would have heard me interviewing my friend, Cal Callahan, where we talked all about the major shift he’s made to his investing strategy, focusing less on building his net-worth, and more on cash-flow and passive income strategies that will allow him to achieve lifestyle freedom. 

This week, Cal’s interviewing me on his amazing podcast, The Great Unlearn, where we go even deeper into the world of passive income to uncover the strategies that are often overlooked by many investors too eager to make a quick buck rather than focusing on substantial, long-term rewards.




In this episode, you’ll learn:




✅ Alternative investing strategies such as leveraging debt, tapping into private equity, and exploring industrial outdoor storage spaces.

✅ The largely untapped potential in mobile home parks and industrial real estate, especially with zoning laws becoming more accommodating - making these sectors highly promising for future investments.

✅ The massive impending wealth transfer projected to exceed $100 trillion and strategies for capitalizing on this shift through savvy cash flow management and off-market deals.

You’re also going to hear how maximizing my health & fitness AND what’s in store for the expanded edition of The Lifestyle Investor book.
