You built the business. You closed the deals. You hit the number. But if all of that disappeared tomorrow, who would you be?

Mark Evans DM and Tim Bratz get into one of the most overlooked traps successful entrepreneurs fall into: wrapping your entire identity around what you DO instead of who you ARE. Tim opens up about pivoting away from being "the multifamily guy" after 20 years, winding down his coaching program, and the cognitive dissonance that comes with reinventing yourself at a high level. Mark shares why the people calling you a flip-flopper are the ones stuck — and why evolving your identity isn't weakness, it's the whole game.

But there's a flip side too: you have to intentionally become the person you're trying to be. The mindset, the identity, the self-concept...it has to come before the bank account catches up.

This one will hit different if you're in the middle of a pivot, a sale, or just quietly wondering if the version of you that built this is the same one who should be running it.

Making money is one challenge. Staying healthy long enough to enjoy it is another.

In this episode of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans DM get into a conversation they didn't originally plan to have—health. After years of grinding in business, many entrepreneurs eventually realize that success often comes at the cost of their bodies.

They talk about the reality of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, why high performers often neglect their health while building wealth, and why longevity, energy, and quality of life become the next focus once the money problem is solved.

From bloodwork and biomarkers to peer groups, lifestyle habits, and the evolving world of health optimization, this episode explores how successful people begin to rethink what it actually means to win in the long run.

Because building wealth is one thing. Staying healthy enough to enjoy it is a whole different game.

Everyone talks about "the number."

The income goal. The net worth target. The exit amount.

But what is that number actually supposed to do?

In Episode 3 of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM break down the idea of "your number" — what it means, how it evolves, and why most people never clearly define it.

They unpack:

• Whether your number is income, net worth, or lifestyle-based

• Why the target often changes as you grow

• The difference between feeling secure and feeling fulfilled

• How wealth goals shift at different levels

• What happens when you hit a milestone and nothing changes

• Why clarity matters more than the amount

This episode isn't about chasing bigger numbers.

It's about understanding what the number represents — and whether it actually aligns with the life you're trying to build.

In Episode 2 of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM break down the critical shift from working for money to owning the machine that produces it.

They unpack the difference between active income and true ownership, why passive income is often misunderstood, and how enterprise value changes the wealth game entirely.

This episode explores:

• Worker vs owner mindset

• Cash flow vs enterprise value

• Why most people never make the ownership leap

• The stages of wealth building

• How financial freedom is actually constructed

What does "rich" actually mean after you build wealth? In the first episode of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM explore money, relationships, business, and what real wealth looks like.

Welcome to the first ever episode of I'm Rich, Now What?

Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM have collectively built nine-figure businesses, scaled thousands of rental units, raised private capital, and operated across real estate, tech, media, and more.

But this podcast starts with a different question: What happens after you get rich?

In this episode, Tim and Mark unpack:

• What "rich" really means in this season of their lives

• Why "slow mornings" may be the ultimate flex

• The difference between cash flow and true freedom

• Why hard work alone won't create wealth

• How masterminds changed the trajectory of their businesses

• The shift from chasing income to building enterprise value

• Why relationships are the real prize of life.

But more importantly, they talk about identity.

Because what gets someone to wealth isn't always what sustains fulfillment.

This show isn't about flexing net worth. It's about perspective. It's about building wealth without losing family. It's about legacy, allocation, and long-term thinking.
