Mike Harrison explores the importance of real estate education and the wealth-building strategies long understood by the wealthy but rarely taught in traditional schooling. Despite spending 25 years following a conventional financial mindset, he built more wealth in six years through real estate than ever before. He emphasizes that while real estate investing may seem slow or unconventional at first, disciplined effort and strategic planning lead to exponential wealth growth beyond what traditional savings can offer.

Andy Webb breaks down retirement into three fundamental options: saving, creating income streams, or working until death. He discusses the biggest regrets retirees have and how traditional retirement planning often falls short. Many retirees regret not saving enough, relying too much on Social Security, and carrying excessive debt into retirement. Webb’s message is clear: relying solely on savings and Social Security is a flawed strategy, and real estate investment provides a way to achieve financial security without these common regrets.

Andy Webb, filling in for Al Gordon, underscores the necessity of assembling a strong team in real estate investing, with a particular focus on investor-minded realtors. He highlights the value of networking and investor education in securing the right professionals, including realtors, leasing agents, and property managers. Andy advises investors to utilize local real estate investor groups, online resources, and events like the upcoming Lifestyles Unlimited Expo to connect with experts who align with their investment goals, ensuring long-term success.

Mike Harrison, filling in for Al Gordon, hosts Single Family investor John, aka JC. JC shares how he discovered Lifestyles Unlimited on the radio and began his real estate journey. He completed his first property in Leavenworth, Kansas, in late 2023 and is preparing to close on his second in Warrensburg, Missouri, a college town, with tenant already screened and secured before officially closing. JC emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, surrounding oneself with successful people, and continuously learning.

Mike Harrison discusses why many people never invest in real estate, highlighting key roadblocks that hold them back. He points to the false security of a stable W-2 job, misinformation, fear of the unknown, and fear of making mistakes as common obstacles. Urging listeners to push past these barriers, he emphasizes that financial freedom is within reach for those willing to step outside their comfort zone and take action.

Andy Webb hosts Nicole, who shares her journey of closing on a 41-unit apartment complex in January 2024 as a first-time Lead investor. Nicole and her husband Keith took a hands-on approach, improving the units while maintaining high occupancy rates. Despite challenges, Nicole's story highlights how combining single-family investments with multifamily ventures can lead to significant financial growth. Nicole continues to pursue further success, leveraging Lifestyles' support and network. Her journey serves as an inspiring example of how strategic investments and education can lead to long-term financial freedom.

Al Gordon explores one of life’s great mysteries—how long you will live—and why it matters for retirement planning. No one knows their exact lifespan, yet traditional retirement strategies are built around the idea of saving a lump sum and slowly depleting it. He points out that most people have spent their lives trading time for money, setting aside funds in accounts they’ve been told not to touch. The only new money entering these accounts comes from investment gains, but once retirement begins, people start drawing down their savings each month to cover expenses. Al challenges this approach, emphasizing the importance of building passive income streams that provide financial security regardless of how long one lives.

Al Gordon emphasizes the value of attending the Wealth and Passive Income Expo in Irving, Texas, from May 7th to 10th, 2025—the largest real estate investor gathering in the country, celebrating Lifestyles Unlimited’s 35th anniversary. He highlights exclusive member benefits, including discounted access and educational resources designed to accelerate financial freedom. With classes for all experience levels, topics range from retiring in five years to building a power team and structuring deals for lasting success, making this a must-attend event for serious investors.

Al Gordon hosts Jeff, Chase, and Jen as they share their journeys to financial freedom through real estate. Jeff, a military veteran, struggled after a short sale in 2008 but found success through Lifestyles Unlimited, learning to invest strategically. Chase and Jen, a young couple, initially followed the traditional path of saving for retirement but realized real estate offered a faster route to financial independence. With mentorship and education, they built a portfolio that allowed them to take control of their future.
