The Total Wealth Academy Podcast
The Total Wealth Academy radio show is about much more than just using real estate to make more money. Real wealth includes all the parts of a balanced life: fitness, family, romance, charity, fun, travel, and, of course, money. Host Steve Davis started with bad credit and no money and ended up invested in over 4000 single-family and apartment units. He did this while maintaining above-average fitness, a 33-year marriage, raising two outstanding children, and simply living life to the fullest. He will show you how you can do this too using real estate to build passive streams of income. Steve and his team of mentors, who will be his guests on the show occasionally, have over 50 years of experience teaching people how to achieve their dreams through investing in real estate. Their one-on-one mentoring and consulting are second to none.

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses the definition of a "successful retirement." Long-time listeners will be a bit confused at first because they know that Steve is not a big believer in the concept of retirement at all. That doesn't matter, though, because while Steve believes that working in service of others until the end is the best way to retire, other people do not. So, how do you define a successful retirement? When does it start? How does it look? Tune in and find out these things and more!

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve is doing his yearly check-in with you, the listener. His question is a simple one, but most find it extremely uncomfortable to answer: Are you all in a better financial position than you were when you made your resolutions for 2023? Did you shave down your credit card debt, or did you accrue more for the year? Did you pay off your vehicle, or did you upgrade to the newest model? Most importantly, though, did you build that second string of income this year, or did the 9 to 5 grind keep you in place? Tune in and get ready to look at your situation calmly and honestly. Just because 2023 is coming to a close doesn't mean you have to give up on your dream life!
