Talking Billions with Bogumil Baranowski

John Soforic | The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity between Father and Son


Listen Later

John Soforic is the owner of a real estate business and enjoys total financial freedom. He wrote The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity between Father and Son to distill his own wisdom on money and success for his ambitious son who was entering adulthood. John’s book became a huge success, a best-seller, and an instant classic.

He has lived in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Patti, for over 30 years. He has a daily wealth blog at wealthygardener.com

We talk about

1)       John’s childhood and upbringing and how those days influenced his relationship with money

2)      The unique storytelling shared in the book, a parable of a Wealthy Gardener, and John’s own intimate stories of struggles and success

3)      John explains how financial freedom is a way of life

4)      We learn from John that “prosperity is the power to take a walk in the woods on a weekday, pay for college tuition, and live with choices, options, and power.”

5)      We have a fascinating discussion about how we spend our time and the need for impact activity in our days.

6)      John shares his experience with stock market investments and how real estate investment resonated better with his personality and expertise.

7)      We talk about the discomfort and the pursuit of wealth

8)      The importance of relationships and alone time

9)      Last but not least, we touch on John’s own definition of success.

John and I had a really fun conversation that continued after we stopped recording. I shared my last book with him, and he was kind enough to contribute to my new book, Crisis Investing.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. Please help me welcome John Soforic.
