Stacey Stenenga was born and raised in a small town in Michigan. Stacey joined the Air Force to see the world. After 14 years of living overseas and in multiple different states, Stacey moved to Colorado to settle down closer to family. Despite being a critical care nurse for 11 years, her income was nearly cut in half from relocating. In 2018, she found the book “Set for Life” by Scott Trench and became a devout student, learning as much as she could about real estate investing. Stacey has since acquired 4 duplexes and is a passive investor in syndication. Stacey’s love for real estate investing stems from supplementing her salary as a full-time nurse. She is passionate about improving healthcare and advocates for legislation to change the harmful work environment that so many healthcare professionals are forced to tolerate.

Christian Costazza, is a RN BSN who was born in Italy in 1984. He grew up with a pretty challenging childhood, losing his dad when he was 10. He was bullied in middle school, went straight to work after high school, and decided that he wanted to change his life by pursuing his BSN in Nursing. He graduated in 2012 with a BSN. He opened the first nurse-led business in his hometown and decided that he wanted more, so he moved to Ireland with basic English skills. After a few rejections, he chose to study and landed a job in NICU. After a while, he moved to England, where he became a cath lab nurse and went through all the roles, from RN to Director of two departments. He then started looking into the personal development space after having a period of burnout in the middle of the COVID pandemic. He decided to move to the US last year. He is currently based in Florida and works on a 1:1 basis with RNs to support them in navigating/avoiding burnout.

April Waddell, RN, BSN who is a CVICU PEDS RN with nursing experience in adult, medical imaging, emergency, PICU and NICU is on the podcast this week. She immigrated from the Philippines to Chicago when she was five years old. Growing up, she was never taught the power of investing in the stock market or learned about compound interest. Building wealth was never discussed; She was taught to study hard so that she could get a stable and safe job. Building financial security was the main focus of her family. As immigrants, her parents were focused on surviving. They did their best and gave her every opportunity they could, and because of what they started and the foundation they gave her, she now focuses on thriving through investing and making passive income. She wants to take you with her and teach you how to do this too. She wants all nurses to reach that next level of freedom and success. She went from 30K in student loan debt to debt-free in 2 years by developing her unique weekly money date system.

Special facts about April:

▶︎ Went from 0K invested in the stock market to a 450k investment portfolio with no financial advisor

▶︎ Went from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset where money isn't a source of stress or anxiety

▶︎ Went from a full-time *burnt out* nurse to a full-time business owner loving the work she does daily
