He's not sweating any of that though because he knows who he is, why he's doing what he's doing, and where he's going.

Building steady wealth requires a comprehensive understanding of the financial landscape, investment strategies, and long-term planning. Serge Berger, the host of the Steady Wealth podcast, shares his insights and experiences on how to achieve financial stability and create lasting wealth.

Serge Berger's journey in the financial industry began after college when he joined JPMorgan. Working in various locations such as New York and London provided him with valuable experiences and allowed him to meet exceptional professionals. He eventually transitioned to the money management side and eventually established his own firm. Serge's intellectual fascination with money fueled his passion for helping others build wealth.

One of the fundamental distinctions Serge emphasizes is understanding the difference between investing and trading. Many people mistakenly conflate the two, leading to impulsive decision-making and potential financial pitfalls. While trading can offer the allure of quick profits, it also carries significant risks. Serge advises that the majority of one's funds should be allocated to long-term investments, recognizing that investments provide greater potential for steady growth.

Serge echoes Tony Robbins' wisdom, emphasizing the importance of long-term thinking. People often overestimate what they can achieve within a year but underestimate their capabilities over a decade. Building steady wealth requires patience and a commitment to long-term financial goals.

Diversification is another crucial aspect of building wealth. Serge advocates for spreading investments across various asset classes such as fixed income, commodities, real estate, and precious metals. By diversifying one's portfolio, individuals can mitigate risk and take advantage of different market conditions.

Serge firmly believes in the power of compound interest. By allowing investments to grow and reinvesting the returns, individuals can harness the exponential growth potential of their wealth. Over time, compounding can have a significant impact on overall wealth accumulation.

For those who want to embark on the path of building generational wealth, Serge suggests seeking the guidance of a financial advisor. By consulting with a professional like himself, individuals can align their goals and receive personalized advice tailored to their specific circumstances. Serge emphasizes the importance of understanding clients' objectives, allowing him to create effective wealth-building strategies.

However, for those who prefer a more hands-on approach, Serge provides resources for self-guided investing. Through his website, thesteadytrader.com, he offers investing and trading alerts, providing valuable insights for those looking to navigate the markets independently. Additionally, Blue Marlin Advisors offers portfolio management services for those seeking professional assistance.

When asked what advice he would give himself if he had to start over with nothing but his acquired knowledge, Serge emphasizes the importance of gaining experience with the most intelligent company possible. He advocates for continuous learning, humility, and absorbing as much knowledge as one can within the industry.

Serge's expertise and experiences in the financial world offer valuable insights for anyone seeking to build steady wealth. By understanding the difference between investing and trading, embracing diversification, harnessing the power of compound interest, and seeking professional guidance, individuals can lay the foundation for long-term financial stability and generational wealth.

What You'll Learn:

• What Serge's number one piece of advice for those just starting out is.
• How compound interest works.
• How much you should allocate to investing vs trading.
• What it means to have a diversified portfolio.

"A lot of people these days don't differentiate between investing and trading." -Serge Berger

Josh Forti, a guest on the podcast three to four years ago, has since embarked on a remarkable journey, establishing a thriving online business and achieving great success. With a seven-figure coaching business under his belt, Josh also dabbled in the world of cryptocurrencies, primarily as a speculator. However, his encounter with Chat GPT made him realize that the world was on the verge of rapid transformation.

Amidst these transformative times, Josh faced a personal milestone as well: his wife's pregnancy with their first child. Contemplating his future, he had to decide between continuing on the coaching path or seizing the opportunity to embrace the next trend. Although he had made some gains in the crypto market, he made the bold decision to shut down his coaching business at the end of the previous year. Instead, he committed himself fully to comprehending the crypto space and understanding how technology would disrupt various sectors, including investing and personal wealth management.

Josh firmly believed that artificial intelligence (AI) would revolutionize everything, whether people embraced it or not. He recognized the power of AI in conjunction with blockchain technology, which resolved the issue of digital ownership. Furthermore, he speculated that superintelligence would eventually emerge and foresaw the possibility of AI causing harm to individuals in some capacity.

Josh also emphasized the utilization of AI to foster growth, scalability, and automation. He mentioned AutoGPT as a prime example. He questioned the type of brand he wanted to build and concluded that personal cash flow was the most critical aspect of his life at that moment. To achieve this goal, he pondered how AI and blockchain could aid him in his endeavors.

With the impending arrival of his first child, a daughter due in November, Josh's motivation to secure personal cash flow intensified. He expressed his belief in the value of coaching and learning from individuals who possess superior knowledge. Rather than solely focusing on making money, he advocated for transforming that money into freedom. Bitcoin held a special place in his heart, as it allowed him unparalleled autonomy over his assets. In contrast, he highlighted the flaws in other systems, such as real estate ownership, where taxes could lead to confiscation. Josh encouraged understanding the rules and playing by them to succeed, ultimately creating an ecosystem where worries became obsolete. While acknowledging that complete freedom eluded everyone, he acknowledged that wealth provided greater opportunities.

Reflecting on his own journey, Josh considered the advice he would give himself if he had to start anew with only the knowledge he had gained. He shared a personal tragedy—the death of his brother in a helicopter crash four years ago, which left him residing in his parents' basement without any money. In his quest to rebuild his life, he hired a coach for $60,000, despite only having $5,000 upfront and uncertainty about acquiring the remaining funds. This coach imparted a crucial lesson: self-love and self-awareness were essential prerequisites for success. Understanding one's values, beliefs, and writing them down formed the foundation of an individual's operating system. Additionally, Josh emphasized the importance of figuring out ways to generate income, asserting that the core of effective selling lies in making customers feel understood—a skill that also helps in understanding people better.

Josh Forti's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and a strong belief in the power of technology. Through his experiences, he has demonstrated the potential of AI, blockchain, and personal growth to reshape lives and businesses in profound ways.

What You'll Learn:

• Ways to use AI to scale your business.
• Which two cryptocurrencies Josh believes in and why.
• What it takes to be truly financially free.
• And much more!

Nick Lamagna, a black belt in martial arts and a passionate real estate enthusiast, has a story that defies expectations. Once a carefree individual, Nick found himself in upstate New York witnessing people making life-altering decisions about their futures. This pivotal moment propelled him to switch his major to criminal justice and pursue a career in law enforcement.

While waiting to join the academies of the FBI, DEA, and others, Nick worked in construction. However, tragedy struck when his hand was crushed on the job. Faced with adversity, he made a promise to himself: if he recovered, he would devote himself fully to achieving his dreams. This incident prompted him to reconsider his path and put his passion for boxing on hold.

During his recovery, Nick's mother introduced him to the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad," which ignited his interest in real estate. He realized that this field offered a way to build the life he desired, an opportunity he no longer had with law enforcement or construction. Alongside his newfound passion for real estate, Nick delved into martial arts, immersing himself in jiu-jitsu, boxing, and MMA. Reflecting on his journey, Nick acknowledges that the accident fundamentally changed him as a person. The experience made him realize he didn't like the person he was before the incident, prompting a profound shift in his perspective and priorities.

Throughout his journey, Nick encountered various struggles, but none more significant than learning when to pull back. Understanding the key to longevity, he emphasizes the importance of knowing when to train and, equally crucial, when not to. Even if one endures defeat in the competition, there is always a valuable lesson to be learned. Focusing on a few key moves and finding a go-to strategy when in trouble can be a game-changer. Nick stresses that learning even a little bit of jiu-jitsu provides a significant advantage, instilling confidence in diffusing conflicts.

Moreover, being accustomed to challenging situations while remaining calm offers benefits beyond the martial arts realm. This control over the fight-or-flight response can prove invaluable in business and life, giving individuals an edge over their competitors. Nick believes that while ego is necessary to drive oneself forward, martial arts serve as a constant reminder to keep it in check. Sometimes you are the hammer, and other times you are the nail. Striking a balance between confidence and humility is key.

Nick's accomplishments extend beyond his personal growth. As the host of "The A-Game" podcast, he has interviewed prominent figures, training with and establishing lasting relationships with them. Alongside his real estate endeavors, he assists others in finding lucrative investment opportunities, sharing his knowledge and expertise.

If Nick were to start anew armed only with the wisdom and knowledge he has gained, his first piece of advice would be to capitalize on the power of social media and connections. Recognizing the value of these resources, Nick encourages individuals to immerse themselves in relevant groups, attend meetups, and build an extensive network of like-minded individuals. Surrounded by the right people, success becomes an attainable goal.

Nick Lamagna's journey showcases the transformative power of perseverance, self-reflection, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities. From a carefree observer to a force to be reckoned with in both real estate and martial arts, Nick's story serves as a testament to the potential that lies within all of us when we wholeheartedly pursue our passions.

What You'll Learn:

• How the martial arts scene has changed over the years.
• What is Nick's number one piece of training advice is.
• Why Nick thinks Jiu Jitsu is the top martial art.
• Why a HELOC is better than a cash-out refinance.

Ky Logue is a real estate investor, wholesaler, and entrepreneur who has overcome significant challenges to achieve success. His journey began with a turbulent childhood, characterized by frequent relocations, stays in group homes, juvenile detention, and even a stint in a psychiatric ward. By the age of 15, Ky found himself homeless and resorted to selling drugs to survive.

Ky's life took a turn when he had a close call with the law. A colleague he was working with was raided by the FBI, which made him realize the dangers of his lifestyle. Determined to change, Ky's friend introduced him to a call center job, describing it as similar to the movie Boiler Room. Despite initially being turned away by the manager due to a lack of openings, Ky's friend convinced him to stay and eventually secured him a position. Although Ky had no prior sales experience, he excelled in his new role, discovering a talent he had never realized before.

Reflecting on his past, Ky recognized that it had led him to self-sabotage in many areas of his life. Taking proactive steps to improve himself, he quit smoking weed, but this decision triggered anxiety, prompting him to focus on his physical and mental well-being.

Learning from a friend who owned his own business, Ky developed an interest in real estate, which had always lingered in the back of his mind. However, he had to overcome limiting beliefs and fix his mindset before pursuing this new venture. Ky believed he needed wealthy parents, good credit, and extensive knowledge of repairs to enter the field. Nonetheless, he embarked on a journey of online learning, immersing himself in YouTube tutorials and purchasing courses. This newfound knowledge led him to focus on wholesaling. Though he faced setbacks along the way, Ky remained persistent and eventually made his first successful sale. With perseverance, he achieved significant success in the real estate industry.

Ky's advice to newcomers in the field is to have persistence and brace themselves for initial challenges. He emphasizes that action is the best teacher, and through trial and error, individuals will learn and grow.

When asked what advice he would give himself if starting over with nothing but his gained knowledge, Ky highlights the importance of taking action. He advises finding areas of potential and recognizing when it's time to move on to something else.

Zach has big news to share today, and it's news you would've already been privy to if you're subscribed to the Underdog Empowerment newsletter. So if you haven't already, go sign up at www.underdogempowerment.com/subscribe. Coming out of prison, Zach started to see financial success in 2019 and was straight up killing it by 2020. However, as his bank account inflated, so did his ego, and he had to reel that in. He moved his family out of the ghetto at the end of 2020 and hosted his first mastermind in January of 2021. He did everything everyone said he would never do, but he still didn't feel fulfilled. While he was a better person than he was just a few years prior, Zach realized that he had to go deep and kill off all the pieces of himself that no longer served him.

One thing that he's letting go of is his podcast production agency, Podcast Powertrain. It was always meant to be a stepping stone, and he feels that he's long overdue for the next step. Going forward, Zach wants to focus on his personal podcast, live events, masterminds, his jiu-jitsu journey, and his Alpha Underdog apparel line. After just 8 weeks of training, Zach is jumping into his first jiu-jitsu competition at the end of the month and will launch his apparel line at his Alpha Dog Pound Live event on July 14th. So, while he's closing some doors, he's charging through bigger and better ones.

What You'll Learn:

• When and where to sign up for the next Alpha Dog Pound mastermind?
• Who will be a special guest at the upcoming Alpha Dog Pound Live event?
• Why Zach just spent two days in the hospital.
• And much more!
