I traveled the world with my wife visiting tobacco farms and factories to learn the art of cigar making. I met with experts and studied the industry inside and out. Finally, I felt I had enough resources to start my own cigar lounge. Thus the idea of Sherri's Executive Lounge was conceived. This name was chosen to Honor my mom who had passed recently.

"When is the best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago."  - a Chinese Proverb

Episode Summary:

In this special episode of the Strive for 25 podcast, Joel interviews Deven Wohlwend, the 16-year-old COO of Clear Sky Realty Inc., Amazon's best-selling author, and owner of over 40 units. Deven shares his remarkable journey, starting from attending investment meetings since birth to becoming the youngest person to attain the Ohio Professional Housing Provider Certification at the age of 10. 

Deven's story serves as an inspiring example of youthful entrepreneurship and the impact of determination, creativity, and continuous learning in achieving success in real estate and beyond.

Tune in to hear how Deven started his role as a COO and his insights on being an inspiration to others by setting an example. Deven emphasizes the importance of starting early, being creative, taking action, and focusing on the future rather than getting stuck in the present.

About Deven Wohlwend:

From the time he was born, Deven has been going to investment meetings. He developed an interest in investing at a very early age. He found a way to invest in what he knew when he was only 5 years old. By the time he was 7, he started a company and started purchasing real estate. He purchased his first house using only his knowledge, creativity, and a little bit of money that he had earned at his part-time job. By the time he was 10 years old, he attained his Ohio Professional Housing Provider Certification (O.P.H.P.). This made him the youngest person ever to attain this certification. He started investing in single-family homes. Then, he rapidly moved on to a small, multi-family (duplex.) Within 3 years, he had bought 20% of a 60-unit complex. He is constantly growing his real estate team and acquiring more assets. At 11 years old, he published his first book about his successes and setbacks: If I Can Do It, So Can You!
