Journey To Launch

Investing in real estate can be very risky yet very rewarding. Learn how Kendra Barnes without knowing much, in the beginning, started her fast-growing real estate empire. It all started when she and her husband had an epiphany while playing a board game which inspired them to get serious about building wealth and they haven't looked back since.

Meet Krysti Chen & Bryce Leung, two millennials that decided to invest and retire early rather than buy a home in their high cost of living area, Toronto, Canada. They retired from their jobs at the age of 31 years old by working hard, prioritizing their spending and making smart investments and now they are traveling the world and sharing their experience with us.

Krysti and Bryce decided to figure out a lifestyle that would work best for them and made their dreams of early retirement come true. In this interview, we discuss the following:

• The actual steps they took to retire at 31
• What gave them the motivation to start saving and cutting back on their "spendy" lifestyle and how they continued to keep their expenses in check while growing their income
• Why they don't believe home ownership is for everyone and dismantling the thought of homeownership as part of the "dream"
• How they deal with operating in a society where we are conditioned to believe that what we do for a living equals our worth
• How they manage to travel the world on a moderate budget plus much more!

What does someone have to go through to come from nothing, become a millionaire, lose it all, only to gain it back all again? Meet, Patrice Washington, America's Money Maven, best selling author, speaker, and money coach. Patrice is also a regular on the Steve Harvey Morning show as his resident finance expert and has also made appearances on Doctor Oz and other major news outlets where she shares her money expertise and tips.

I first met Patrice at Podcast Movement 2017. I was always a fan of her platform and she was so welcoming when I introduced myself. We hit it off immediately and I asked her to sit down with me and chat about her story and rise to become "America's Money Maven" LIVE at Podcast Movement at the FinCon booth. Patrice really opened up about her journey, the highs and lows of what it took to become the woman she is today. In our conversation, we discuss so much, including:

• Her childhood and how it shaped her to be a go-getter and entrepreneur
• How she became a real estate mogul and millionaire by the age of 25
• Her lowest point of losing all of her money and investments which led her to an epiphany that would change everything
• How seeking wisdom and following her purpose allowed her to gain it all back and more
• The steps she took to become who she is today
• Why becoming mentally fit with your finances is a key to lasting financial success
