Are your 401K, IRA, and company stock really enough to secure your future? In this episode, Steven Arita talks to Patrick Grimes, a former robotics engineer turned full-time investor, who shares how he went from losing it all in real estate to building real wealth through smart, alternative investments. He talks about the shift from single-family homes to larger apartment deals, and why he now focuses on recession-resistant investments like litigation finance and energy. Patrick explains how “non-correlated” assets work, why they matter, and how tech professionals like you can start building a more stable, diverse investment portfolio. He also shares free tools, a book, and live events to help you get started.

Patrick Grimes, founder and CEO of Passive Investing Mastery, an internationally bestselling author, and a Forbes Council contributor, is a serial entrepreneur specializing in alternative investments.
