In this episode of Pivot to Profit, Pam Jordan sits down with Justin Maxwell—partner at Big Life Financial, fractional family office leader, and advocate for building wealth that lasts for generations. Justin shares his powerful journey from teenage landscaping gigs (and the money myths they carried) to becoming a trusted advisor for entrepreneurs who want both profit and peace.
They dig into the truth behind financial independence for business owners—why betting everything on a “big exit” is a dangerous gamble, and how to start building a safety net of cash reserves, alternative investments, and tax-savvy strategies now.
Pam and Justin explore:
–Breaking free from limiting money beliefs and redefining what “wealth” means for your family
– Why most founders need to “take chips off the table” long before they think they do
–Profit vs. growth: when to prioritize one over the other for sustainable success
–The mindset shift from operator → CEO → owner-investor
–Justin’s vision for a 150-year family legacy rooted in values, education, and stewardship of wealth
–How integrating faith, traditions, and financial literacy can transform the next generation into wise wealth builders, not consumers
This conversation is a must-listen for entrepreneurs stuck in the “golden cage” of business ownership—ready to create not just a livelihood, but a legacy.
