Did you know you can use your 401k to invest in Real Estate?
Well, you can and not only that you can invest in several other assets besides real estate too.
This means you can get your money outside the volatile world of the stock market and make investments on your own terms. You can even get your money outside the U.S. to take advantage of emerging markets. Find new opportunities and get in early before it is too late.
On this episode we speak to Ross Powell, who spent 30 years in the banking industry only to find out the system was rigged against the little guy.

Big wave surfing is a sport of confidence where participants will themselves over the edge of 50-foot mountains of water. On this episode we speak to award-winning and renowned professional big wave surfer Greg Long about what it is like to survive a near-drowning and then try to find your confidence again.
We talk about when he almost died surfing giant waves at the mysto spot of Cortes Bank, six hours off the coast of California. Greg takes you inside the two wave hold down that almost ended his life and remembers the exact decisions he made before his oxygen expired.
We dive into the process of fighting back after an almost tragic accident to get to the top again and have the confidence to surf big waves. Greg’s candor allows the listener to really gain insight into his struggles to return to form and understand how a world-class athlete shakes it off and finds fulfillment once again.
Check out this rare discussion where a top performer lets you inside his head in a very humble and candid conversation.

Author Daniel Lee Reid joins the show to discuss Taoist sex practices and how they can revolutionize your relationship.
