EP148: Building a Real Estate Empire | Lane Kawaoka | The Wealth Elevator

What does it really take to go from an ordinary middle-class income to millionaire status — in under a decade? In this episode of The Millionaire Choice Podcast, Tony interviews Lane Kawaoka, Author of The Wealth Elevator. Lane shares the real story of how he built his wealth through strategic real estate investing, smart diversification, and the critical mindset shifts that made it all possible.Lane introduces his signature framework — the Wealth Elevator — a practical model that maps out exactly what strategies apply at each stage of your wealth journey. Whether you're just getting started or already scaling a portfolio, Lane explains why the rules of investing change as your net worth grows, and why what got you to your first million won't get you to your next.The conversation covers the evolution from single-family rental properties to large-scale multifamily syndications and private placements, the importance of becoming an accredited investor, and how to think about risk management and diversification at every level. Lane also speaks candidly about building a family legacy through real estate — not just accumulating wealth, but making it last.This is a no-fluff, education-packed episode for anyone serious about building lasting financial independence.TAKEAWAYSEarly wealth is the hardest to build — the first million requires the most discipline and sacrifice, but it sets the foundation for everything that follows.The Wealth Elevator framework shows how investment strategies must evolve as your net worth grows — from rental properties to syndications to private placements.Becoming an accredited investor opens doors to opportunities most people never see, including institutional-grade deals with better risk-adjusted returns.Passive income through multifamily syndications allows investors to scale without scaling their time.Real estate is a vehicle, not a destination — the real goal is financial freedom and family legacy.CONNECT WITH LANE KAWAOKA AT thewealthelevator.comIs money slipping through your fingers?

EP147: Exploring Bitcoin As a Wealth Building Tool | Eric Runge | Veritas Bitcoin Strategies

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Runge for one of those conversations that genuinely shifts how you think about wealth, money, and the future of finance. Eric's story is remarkable — he grew up in a lower middle-income household and worked his way into the world of ultra-high-net-worth family offices, and the perspective that journey gave him is something you just can't manufacture.We start with Eric's background and the mindset shift that made everything possible — moving from a scarcity mentality to an abundance mindset. That transition, he explains, isn't just psychological. It's foundational to how you approach investing, risk, and long-term wealth building. From there, he walks me through how he entered the family office space and what most people get wrong about how the ultra-affluent actually manage and protect their wealth. Spoiler: it's far less about chasing returns and far more about capital preservation than you'd expect.We close with a look at where Bitcoin and financial technology are headed, and what AI-driven disruption means for the future of finance. This one is packed.TAKEAWAYSEric's journey from a lower middle-income background to the family office world is proof that mindset — specifically the shift from scarcity to abundance thinking — is the first and most important investment you can make.Family offices prioritize capital preservation above almost everything else. The goal isn't to get rich — it's to stay rich across generations.Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed by ultra-high-net-worth families as a strategic long-term asset and a form of digital gold, not a speculative trade.The BNY Mellon study on Bitcoin adoption signals that institutional acceptance is no longer a fringe conversation — it's happening at the highest levels of wealth management.Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) represent a significant shift in government financial control. Understanding their implications is critical for anyone serious about protecting their wealth.AI and technological disruption are reshaping finance faster than most investors are prepared for — staying informed and adaptable is a competitive advantage.CONNECT WITH ERIC RUNGE AT familyofficebitcoin.comIs money slipping through your fingers?

Key Insight: Simplifying his approach allowed him to focus on what mattered most, avoiding the complexities that often derail new investors.The One Page Wealth CompassDavid's key to success was creating a "One Page Wealth Compass".

Why It Works: By keeping his investment strategy straightforward, he was able to stay on course and avoid the pitfalls that had previously led him astray. Actionable Advice: Consider creating your own version of a wealth compass. Write down your financial goals, strategies, and key learnings on a single page. This clarity can guide your decisions and keep you accountable.TAKEAWAYSIt’s Never Too Late: David's journey exemplifies that financial success can happen at any age.Embrace Learning: Continuous education about finances is crucial, regardless of your current knowledge level.Simplify Your Approach: Avoid overcomplicating your financial strategy to stay focused on your goals.Take Calculated Risks: Transitioning to new opportunities can lead to unexpected success.CONNECT WITH DAVID NASSIEF AT onepagewealthcompass.comIs money slipping through your fingers?
