What if you could build lasting wealth while staying true to your purpose? Brian Tibbs did just that.

At 26, Brian was thriving in business—investing in real estate, running companies, and climbing the corporate ladder. But then, he made a bold move: selling most of his assets, leaving his career, and moving to Guatemala to serve as a missionary. 

Introducing Brian Tibbs on the Moeller Real Estate & Business Podcast today. Brian is on a mission to help people build lasting wealth using his skills and experience. He’s eager to hear your story and walk alongside you on your wealth-building journey.

From a young age, it was clear Brian was destined for business. By 26, he was already investing in real estate, serving as an executive in his father’s financial services company, and co-owning an online retail business. But a deeper calling led him down an unexpected path.

Over the next three years, Brian married Jill Bramhall, stepped away from his father’s company, sold his online business, and liquidated most of his real estate portfolio—all to move, sight unseen, to Guatemala. Over the following 16 years, he led a team that trained 380 leaders to plant 96 churches across 11 countries, raised over $20 million, and helped build over 150,000 square feet of church and ministry facilities.

Despite earning below minimum wage as missionaries, Brian and Jill built a multi-million-dollar net worth. Today, they no longer work out of necessity but by choice, with the freedom to pursue opportunities on their own terms.

Tune in to hear Brian’s journey—one of faith, bold decisions, and financial wisdom that defies convention.

On this podcast Phil and Brian discussed: 

1. Personal Finance and Wealth Building
2. Real Estate Investing
3. Missionary Experience in South America
4. Entrepreneurial Mindset
5. Writing and Publishing a Book
