540: Cop Salary to $300 Million in Real Estate w/ Whitney Sewell

How do you build massive wealth while keeping your passions, family, faith, and bank account intact? Successful real estate investors will tell you the same thing: you need to automate and systematize to make time for it all, and they aren't kidding. Whitney Sewell was working as a cop when he got his start in real estate. Looking at his $35,000 salary, he realized that the long hours and tiresome, but enjoyable work, wouldn’t allow him financial freedom.

Whitney wanted more time with his kids, his wife, and his beloved horses. So, he started attending every real estate conference he could go to, networking with anyone who owned any amount of real estate. He hired a performance coach, built a successful podcast, and flipped his limiting beliefs on their head, so he could tackle big deals.

In only three years, Whitney built a real estate empire with over $300M assets under management. Part of his personal profits are donated to help adopted children and those who need adoptive parents. Whitney talks about how his faith and social goals have played a huge part in his real estate and how doing good must be the driving force behind wealth accumulation.
