This is the full keynote I gave at the 2025 REI Summit in Austin.
It’s a story about the real journey most real estate investors go through.
Getting stuck in a job.
Trying to break free.Messing it up.
Getting scared.
Wanting to go back to safety.
I walk through a story about ancient Egypt, the Red Sea, the wilderness, and the promised land, and how closely that mirrors the path from a 9-to-5 into real freedom.
I also talk about:
- Why most people get trapped building someone else’s empire
- Why early mistakes hurt so much and why they’re normal
- The Red Sea moment every investor hits when quitting or scaling
- Why so many people stop right before things actually work
- Comfort, fear, and why growth always feels uncomfortable
- Why you should climb the mountain simply because it’s there
If you’re stuck in a job you can’t stand, or you’re already in real estate but feel like you've stalled out, you might like this one.
