In this episode Randy Langenderfer and I dive into a candid conversation around fear, financial security, and the hesitation that keeps many high-earning professionals—especially veterans and analytical minds—stuck on the sidelines. From military life to first-time investments, we explore how risk aversion and analysis paralysis can stall growth. 

Our guest shares how he tackled that fear through partnerships, education, and taking that first step, even when it felt uncomfortable. If you're holding onto a hard-earned nest egg and waiting for the perfect moment… this one's for you.

🚨 Spoiler: The perfect moment rarely shows up.

A lot of folks are risk averse, especially in my background, as military folks, they spend 15, 20 years saving a nice nest egg. the military doesn't pay us a lot of money. There's a lot of benefits, but we don't get, we don't get a big paychecks. So to spend, 15, 20 years, you know, save seven, five to$150,000. Right. so when it's time to put that bulk of money into an, into maybe one or a couple investment, it's very challenging for them to to let go. Right. So a lot of them are risk averse and get overwhelmed. Now, what would be your message, to high earning professionals who are stuck on the sidelines? I've been there too. education wise, I'm a finance person at heart and so, right. I'm pretty risk adverse myself. Like you said, I had grown where I had to some assets that I didn't wanna lose. That's why I got an Nonrecourse debt, let me summarize by quoting my mentor, Rod Khleif take massive action. I start with that saying my own journey was my first LP investment. I remember I did it with a friend'cause I wanted to mitigate risk. we formed a separate LLC to invest in an apartment complex. there are ways to get around it. you can do that, and that's the way I started using the self-directed IRA'cause I didn't have spendable cash, Analysis paralysis. my profession, finance accounting, and I talk to a lot of IT professionals, a lot of engineering professionals that are also very analytically minded I think suffer from analysis paralysis.
