Join Mike Cavaggioni with Joe DiSanto on the 168th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast. Joe shares how to help individuals and business owners navigate their finances, increase their net worth, and plan better for their future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Importance of personal and business budgets.
• Taking the big leap and starting a business.
• How to invest in real estate outside the area you live.
• How to plan for retirement and when you should start
• And so much more!

About Joe DiSanto:

Joe DiSanto spent his childhood riding BMX bikes, breakdancing, and memorizing 80’s movies, but the carefree days of youth wouldn’t last long. By 13 he was working as a busboy, helping his recently-divorced mom, and picking up some of his own tab. A valuable lesson was learned: If you don’t deal with your money, your money will deal with you.

From that point on, he made it his mission to learn everything he could about making smart money moves. It paid off. By age 30, Joe had wiped out $70k in student loans, bought his first house, and started a post-production company in Los Angeles. Over the next decade, the company grew to 30+ employees with over 5 million in annual revenue, while producing two critically-acclaimed documentaries and an Emmy-winning HBO series. During this time, he and his wife also transacted on 15 residential and commercial real estate properties. 

But nothing had a more life-changing impact than the birth of their son. After a successful 19-year run in L.A., the couple decided to slow down and invest in their new family. They cashed out of the business and bought into small-town life on the Florida coast. Having semi-retired at age 43, Joe’s efforts are now focused on his educational blog Play Louder.
