v1.46 - Why Smart Investors Never Go It Alone
Dustin and Adam explore one of the most underappreciated aspects of building wealth: the power of investing alongside others and being part of a mastermind community.
They share real examples from their experience in groups like Robert Helms and Russell Gray’s syndication mastermind and Ken McElroy’s Collective, showing how exposure to different perspectives transformed their underwriting approach and deal selection.
The discussion turns to how passive investing itself serves as an educational vehicle by opening doors to new markets, asset classes, and relationships you wouldn’t otherwise access. They explain how a single investment can lead to introductions to better CPAs, hard money lenders, and self-directed IRA custodians that compound your wealth for decades.
Whether you’re naturally introverted or simply haven’t considered the network effects of your investment decisions, this episode will shift how you think about building wealth.
