At 24, I was dead broke. My wife and I had no money despite working hard and trying to do everything right.

That moment changed everything. I realized I didn't have a money problem. I had a money ignorance problem.

So I decided to actually learn how money works. Fast forward to 40: I'm financially free with over a billion dollars in real estate and millions in net worth.

But here's the truth: it didn't have to take this long. If someone had told me these 9 rules at 25, I would've hit financial freedom way faster.

In this episode:

• Build an emergency fund before a lifestyle

• Don't finance what you can't pay off that month

• Buy assets, not liabilities

• Master a rare, valuable skill

• Track every dollar

• Separate time from money

• Keep your lifestyle below your income

• Only take advice from people whose life you'd trade for

• Results come from what you repeatedly do

None of this is complicated. Follow these rules consistently and wealth becomes unavoidable.

Two entrepreneurs. Years of mistakes. A stack of wins. And a list of rules they wish someone had handed them long before things finally clicked.

Brandon and Cam sit down after a marathon stretch of Thanksgiving, birthday parties, flights, and jet lag to strip business down to the essentials. This episode breaks down the eleven rules that keep real businesses alive. The rules that help you move faster, think clearer, and build something that holds up when the economy decides to wobble.

Along the way, they pull back the curtain on the complexities of mobile home parks, co-living models, land development, Class A rentals, and conducting time audits. They explore the unexpected comfort found in defining your own challenges, the true hurdles behind seven-figure revenue, and the vital difference between high revenue and actual profit.

These are the exact rules that powered the creation of their multiple companies—and the rules they rely on every single day.
