Passion Millionaire
Build a business that runs without you. Create leverage. Design a life you never want to retire from.
The Passion Millionaire Podcast is for high-earning freelancers, agency owners, and serious business builders who want more than income. They want ownership, optionality, and long-term wealth.
If you’re scaling a service-based business and asking yourself how to move from strong revenue to real leverage, recurring income, better deals, and exit-ready systems, this podcast is for you.
Each episode features founders, investors, and operators who have built multi 6- and 7-figure companies. They´re breaking down how they structure smarter deals, implement scalable systems, use AI strategically, and build businesses that compound beyond their time.
Hosted by Robert Roth, investor, business builder, mentor to ambitious founders and rock & roll pianist. This show explores what it really takes to turn income into assets, and ambition into lasting freedom.
Stop building just revenue. Start building something that can outgrow you.

Jan Watermann: From Dropout to Digital Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Passion Millionaire, host Robert Roth welcomes his close friend and business partner Jan Watermann. Jan shares his unconventional journey - from dropping out of school in Germany and moving to New Zealand with only €2,000, to building a thriving career as a digital marketing consultant. He takes us through the early struggles of working odd jobs, teaching himself copywriting, and landing his first clients through cold outreach, all the way to securing multi-year, six-figure contracts with major companies. His story is a testament to taking bold risks, staying persistent, and designing life around freedom.
Together, Robert and Jan also reflect on how their partnership began, leading to the co-founding of a solar company in the U.S. that grew from zero to millions in revenue, and later launching Pragmatic Business to help freelancers and entrepreneurs scale smarter. Jan reveals his philosophy on risk-taking, persistence, investing wisely, and choosing business partners who align not just financially but personally. This episode is full of practical lessons for anyone seeking more freedom, stability, and growth in their entrepreneurial journey.
