What’s the point of building wealth if you never get your time back? For years, Rich Lennon chased passive income through rentals and flipping, only to find himself with no time, more stress, and yet another job. That all changed when he discovered private lending. Now? He earns $30,000 per deal, spends just 5 hours on each one, and gets to take random Tuesday mornings off to go fishing with his son.

In this episode, Rich Lennon breaks down exactly how lending works, where the time goes, and why this strategy finally gave him what he was really after: freedom. Whether you’re a tired landlord, a busy entrepreneur, or want more life in your life, this one’s worth a listen.
