What 25 Years, Market Crashes, and Hard Lessons Teach You About Still Standing When Others

Quit

Most investors only experience rising markets — but real wealth is built by those who survive the downturns.

In this powerful conversation, Russell Westcott shares 25 years of hard-earned real estate lessons, market cycles, painful mistakes, and the mindset required to endure when others quit.

From buying at market peaks to navigating investor relationships during difficult seasons, Russell opens up about what really happens when markets turn — and how today’s investors can avoid the same landmines.

He also reveals the “perfect storms” he sees forming and how experienced investors position themselves for the next decade of opportunity.

This interview was recorded approximately one year ago. As always, do your own homework and research before making any investment decisions. Markets change — perspective lasts.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

-   Why most investors don’t survive their first real downturn

-   The hidden danger of only investing in “up” markets
-   How catastrophic mistakes can become your greatest teachers
-   Why honesty with partners matters more than optimism
-   The real meaning of “weathering the storm” in real estate
-   How to recognize repeating market patterns before it’s too late
-   The four converging “perfect storms” shaping today’s opportunities
-   Why surviving cycles is more important than chasing hype

If this episode resonated with you, share it with another investor who needs to hear it. The goal isn’t just to survive the next cycle — it’s to come out stronger on the other side.
