Julie Holly: Overcoming Mental Barriers as an Investor

Today, I welcome Julie Holly to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Julie is a seasoned real estate investor, podcast host, and high-performance coach who began her career as a public school teacher before transitioning into residential and ultimately commercial real estate. Over more than a decade, she’s built a diverse portfolio spanning multifamily, assisted living, and development projects - while helping countless investors and entrepreneurs break through the mental barriers that hold them back from true freedom.

In this episode, Julie opens up about the highs and lows of her investing journey, including the painful experience of uncovering misappropriated funds in a multifamily partnership - and how that moment led to her biggest personal and professional transformation. She shares how she learned to realign her investments with her values, rebuild confidence, and prioritize fulfillment over external success.

Julie also reveals why so many investors chase “freedom” only to find themselves trapped in stress and overwork, and how recalibration - not quitting - is often the real answer. Through her “cocoon” philosophy, she explains the process of shedding old identities, rediscovering purpose, and creating a more intentional path forward in business and life.

With her trademark honesty and insight, Julie shows how self-awareness and emotional mastery are the ultimate keys to long-term success - not just in real estate, but in every area of life.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
