In this episode of The Underdog Podcast, Pamela Bardhi our host talks with Damion Lupo, an entrepreneur who's had his share of ups and downs. As a kid, Damion wanted to be an astronaut, but life took him in a different direction. He ended up starting businesses, often driven by frustration with systems he felt were unfair.

Damion talks about his early money troubles and how they pushed him to keep trying new ventures. He shifted from conventional jobs to real estate financing, with the 2008 financial crash being a major turning point. This led him to create EQRP, a way for people to use retirement funds outside of traditional investments.

Damion discusses how he tried to align his work with his personal values. His latest project, FrameTech, aims to shake up home construction methods. Damion shares some stories about pushing through tough times and learning from mistakes.
