I'm Rich, Now What?

Most people are saving their best words for the funeral post. Mark and Tim want you to stop doing that.

This episode landed on Mark's 30th year as an entrepreneur, and instead of a victory lap, he turned it into a question worth sitting with: how many more real shots do you have left? Not at the million-dollar thing. At the hundred million dollar thing. At the dream trip. At the letter you keep meaning to write. At the phone call you've been putting off for three years. Tim opens up about pulling the trigger on a year of international travel with his family, and Mark gets into the daily habit of sending messages, letters, and videos that most people say they'll do someday — and never do.

• The failure mindset shift Tim started using with his kids (and why most parents never do this)
• Why taking extreme ownership is the entry point to any real success
• The difference between buying assets and buying liabilities — and how poor mindset shows up in spending

Tim and Mark take on one of the most common beliefs that quietly keeps people from pursuing wealth: the idea that getting rich means becoming someone you hate. They break down where that myth comes from, why the loudest "jerks" are usually people pretending to be rich, and what it actually looks like when genuine wealthy people show up in the room. Along the way, they get into the broke millionaire trap, the confidence-building habits that separate those who make it from those who plateau, and why the story you tell about rich people might be the thing holding you back.

Bobby Castro built a fintech company from scratch — no investors, no outside capital — and sold it three times: $250M, $600M, then $1 billion.

And when that final wire hit? Nothing. No fireworks.

In the first-ever guest episode of I'm Rich. Now What?, Bobby gets real with Tim and Mark about what actually happens after the big exit — the disappointment, the near-bankruptcy five years before the billion, the missed moments with his kids, and why he walked away at the top to build something he calls a 100-year legacy plan.

In this episode: why the exit fell flat, the "nonrefundable minutes" framework, when to sell, raising kids around money without ruining them, and why transparency is the whole game.

Bobby Castro is a fintech exit veteran ($1.85B+), real estate investor ($800M portfolio), co-founder of R360, and author of Outsider.

In this episode, Mark and Tim dive deep into one of the most important yet overlooked conversations in entrepreneurship: who do you share your wins with?

As commercial real estate recovers and major deals come to fruition, they discuss the power of celebrating your successes—whether that's a 7-figure exit, a business breakthrough, or sharing something with your kids.

Learn how to navigate the delicate balance of sharing wins without alienating those around you, how to identify the right people to celebrate with (spoiler: it's those who energize you, not drain you), and why it's crucial to involve your family in these conversations.

They also explore how talking openly about money wins—and failures—with your spouse and kids builds financial literacy and teaches the next generation that success is a journey of wins and losses. Tune in to discover how celebrating the right way can strengthen your relationships and keep you motivated for the next big opportunity.

There's a point every entrepreneur hits where more stuff stops feeling like more. More watches, more cars, more things — and yet something's still missing. In this episode, Mark and Tim talk about what actually moves the needle when you've already built the wealth: experiences. Specifically, the ones you take with the people you love before it's too late. Mark shares how he spontaneously flew his father-in-law to the Masters — and why waiting even one more year could have meant missing it forever. If you've been putting off that trip, this episode is your sign.

Most successful entrepreneurs plan to leave their kids a life-changing inheritance. The problem? By the time the money arrives, their kids are in their 50s — and the window to actually change their lives has long passed. In this episode, we dig into the psychology of wealth transfer, why giving a "living inheritance" beats waiting until death, and how to raise kids who are actually ready to handle it.

This is about more than inheritance. It's about building a real legacy.

We get into:
- Why most people receive inheritance too late in life
- How giving money too early can help (if done right)
- The balance between teaching and supporting your kids
- Why experiences might matter more than dollars
- How to raise kids who are capable, confident, and financially smart

At the end of the day, this isn't about money. It's about who your kids become.

If you're building wealth and thinking about your family's future, this is a conversation you need to hear.
