info_outlineIn this dynamic solo episode, Dave Wolcott and Justin Donald dive deep into how investors can move beyond Wall Street’s one-dimensional approach to wealth building and adopt the same frameworks used by the ultra-wealthy.
Dave shares his personal journey—from being raised on the traditional “go to school, get a job” mindset to discovering the Cashflow Quadrant and building a diversified portfolio across real estate, private equity, oil and gas, and other alternative assets. Alongside Justin, author of The Lifestyle Investor, they unpack the missing blueprint between knowing you can build wealth differently… and actually doing it.
Together, they explore the Holistic Wealth Strategy—a five-phase roadmap beginning with mindset and vision. Dave reveals why success starts with rewiring your financial beliefs, surrounding yourself with the right community, and creating habits that align with your goals. Justin adds critical insight into why the ultra-wealthy allocate most of their wealth into alternative investments—assets that generate tax efficiency, passive income, and appreciation simultaneously.
Whether you’re just starting to build your financial independence or scaling into multi-generational wealth, this episode is a masterclass in breaking free from the Wall Street playbook and creating a life by design—not by default.
