Ever wonder how someone with a full-time job builds serious wealth on the side? In this episode, we meet Ray Tran, a Brooklyn-based middle school teacher who has built a real estate portfolio of 583 units—all while still teaching financial literacy.

We dive into:

• The mindset shift that led Ray from saving to investing
• How he started with just one property and scaled up
• The truth about passive income (and what most people get wrong)
• How he teaches financial literacy to middle schoolers and adults
• Strategies first-gen families can use to build wealth

Whether you're curious about real estate, feeling stuck in your 9-5, or looking for a financial glow-up, this episode will challenge your thinking and inspire your next move.
