The Wealth Cockpit

Are you one bad week away from a financial crisis?

Most successful business owners are one bad week away from a financial crisis — and they don't even know it.

In this episode, Brent Neely shares the story of how a single Amazon account suspension, triggered by a missed phone number verification, exposed a $3.5M problem hiding in plain sight. At the time, he was doing $30–40K/day in sales, carrying $2M in supplier payables, and staring down a $1.5M tax bill. Seven days of zero revenue nearly unraveled everything.

The culprit? The trap of having the majority of your net worth live inside a single asset, a single channel, or a single version of you showing up every day.

In this episode:

  • Why high-income business owners are often the most financially fragile
  • How family offices (managing $50M–$500M+) allocate wealth — and the one rule they never break
  • A simple stress test to find out how concentrated you really are
  • What Brent did to rebuild a portfolio where no single income stream can threaten his freedom

The Wealth Cockpit is for entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors who are done trading time for dollars and ready to build something different.
