In today’s episode, I sit down with Nick Stromwall— a former college minister turned real estate syndicator and tech-savvy capital raiser — for a rich conversation on intentional living. We dive into what it looks like to thrive both at home and in the marketplace, and how fatherhood, faith, and financial stewardship can all point toward greater impact.

From father-son sword ceremonies and Brazilian steakhouses to using AI in investing and asking every client how he can pray for them — Nick’s story is anything but average. If you’re a dad looking to create passive income and raise present, purposeful kids, this one is packed with both vision and application.

Topics we cover:

• How to build a rite-of-passage experience for your sons
• Using tech to maximize your impact — not your burnout
• Passive investing basics and why syndications work
• Balancing marriage admin vs. connection time
• Why Nick ends investor calls with prayer
