It's the life she believed I could build before I believed it myself. Find someone who bets on you before you've proven anything. Then make sure you prove them right.
My wife didn't marry a millionaire.
She married a Marine who promised her he'd figure it out.
No house. No savings. No plan beyond the next deployment.
When I left the Corps in 2020, our daughter was born the day after that.
So I didn't. Today we own 24 properties. We've helped 2,000+ people access over 100M in funding. But the most important thing I've built isn't the portfolio.
One day I came home one day to find her crying holding our newborn. We were broke. Behind on rent. And my business wasn't working. Most people would've gone back to a job. Gone back to what felt safe. But I'd spent 7 years being trained to never quit under pressure.
People tend to forget that what makes SPACs special is that it allows retail investors (like you and I) be venture capitalists (VCs) in startups that arenโt yet proven and require additional funding to complete further development and growth.
