1 hour 56 minutes

As part of our Summer Throwback Series, we’re revisiting some of the most impactful episodes our audience loved and shared. This week, we’re thrilled to feature Sammy's episode from The Top 1% Podcast, joined by Jimmy Ibrahim, as they deep dive into his incredible journey.

From a farm kid with no degree, no big salary, and no head start, Sammy went from buying his first investment at 19 to building a 100+ property portfolio by 34. In this episode, he shares the real strategies, mistakes, and mindset shifts that made it possible - and how you can apply them to your own journey.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

How to grow a 100+ property portfolio without a six-figure salary
