• Investing in Water | Riggs Eckelberry

    Today's episode features Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of Origin Clear.

    Riggs grew up the son of an international businessman.

    He also had a natural draw towards making the world a better place and joined a Non-profit right out of high school.

    Then in the early 80s, he followed his passion for technology and started his very own tech company in New York.

    Riggs eventually sold that to one of his sales reps but didn't let that stop his business journey.

    After some high-level executive positions, he eventually became a CEO in the mid-2000s for what would become a major disruptor in the water industry.

    This company, which Riggs is still the CEO of today, is called Origin Clear.

    Today, there is a growing need for water independence as central infrastructure fails and populations migrate to secondary cities.

    Origin Clear answers that call with their Water On Demand initiative which allows everyday investors to invest directly in productive water projects, thereby enabling businesses and communities to pay for only the water they use with no upfront capital required.

    End-users simply sign a long-term service contract, with regional water companies providing expert support.

    Innovative OriginClear modular systems are licensed to builders to standardize the fleet, leaving zero “new technology” risk as only proven technologies, systems, and methods are implemented.

    Daniel Alonzo knew he wanted to be somebody from a very early age.

    When an injury in college ended his dreams of playing high-level baseball and his dreams began to fade, one of his friends introduced him to a leading Financial Services Company.

    Daniel said no for a while but finally took a chance on it. From that point at age 21, he knew he wanted to win in business.

    He put in the work and in only a few years he'd open his own location. By the age of 24, he was making $100,000.00 a year but still living frugally.

    Today, he's amassed millions and is out there trying to spread that knowledge with everyone.

    In our conversation we cover hustle, frugality, scaling, and unpack his covered call strategy.

  • Building a 7+ Figure Coaching Business | Emily Williams

    Today's episode features Emily Williams from I Heart My Life.

    Emily was going down a path that so many others do -- following a typical career path and heading to graduate school.

    She was on her way but never made it. Literally. Emily just turned the car around with no real plan.

    It took a few years working low-paying jobs but she finally decided to bet on herself.

    In 2014, Emily started a business even though she was $120k in debt after moving to London.

    What happened next though was improbable, to say the least.

    Emily would go from making $442 in her first month of business to over $1 Million within the first 18 months.

    Now Emily has her own book, runs a successful coaching business on several fronts (master classes, group programs, 1:1 consulting, VIP day trips, etc), and even hosts a podcast.

  • How to Level Up in Your Career

    In this episode, Cody interviews Justin on how he has navigated corporate moves both internally and externally.

    We'll talk about how you can find those better opportunities from an inbound and outbound method. These can be within your current company or swapping companies altogether.

    A big piece of this is filtering and comparing opportunities. In many jobs, the compensation isn't just one simple number. You need to think about base pay, variable, equity, 401k, health insurance, etc, etc.

    No need to worry though, the guys break this all down in a very simple systematic way.

    There will also be tactical tips such as how to set up your LinkedIn so that you're not missing great opportunities.

    • Cody was working a corporate finance gig
    • Justin planned to work until age 43
    • Cody thought he'd keep climbing the ladder

    Obviously, Justin and Cody are no fortune-tellers...

    Fast-forward to today and Cody has built an insanely profitable online presence, Justin made the jump to corporate America and multiplied his income, and both have reached financial independence.

    You'll hear an exact breakdown of what's changed for The FI Show guys since 2018 including income, expenses, net worth, and money mindset.

    Today's episode features Jabbar Adesada, a 20-year-old Marine who is targeting this year for financial independence!

    Jabbar was obsessed with basketball and poured all of his attention there, the only problem was he wasn't even getting to play.

    That, combined with his disobedience to do some work his preacher ask him to do made for a dramatic change brought on by Jabbar's father.

    His dad popped his basketballs and told him he had to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad... and that was the end of basketball for Jabbar.

    Jabbar goes on to join the Marines straight out of high school and starts to study the stock market and real estate like crazy.

    He's currently hunting for more deals and projects that he'll reach FI after he closes on the next one.

    Do you know a young person who needs some inspiration, are you interested in real estate investing, or maybe you just want to hear a great story this is the episode for you!
