    Episode 1292: Retire in 10 Years or Less with Ryan D. Lee

    Most high earners follow the traditional path, but true financial freedom comes from earning, saving, and strategically leveraging money.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Ryan D. Lee, Founder of Wealth Outside Wall Street, who shares his journey from a six-figure corporate career to building a system for financial freedom. He also explains the three engines of wealth: earning, protecting, and generating passive income. He discusses the difference between investing and speculating, using the tax code strategically, and building a pathway to financial independence.   Key Takeaways: → The three engines of wealth are income, capital, and passive assets. → Making money is only one part; keeping money is equally critical. → Passive income converts saved capital into sustainable cash flow. → Speculating is risky; investing prioritizes safety and predictable returns. → Success is measured by income-generating assets, not just net worth or ROI.   Ryan D. Lee’s journey to financial freedom began with frustration and loss. A six-figure salary and a maxed-out 401(k) weren’t enough to shield him from the devastating effects of the 2008 financial crisis. Determined to find a better path, Ryan discovered a powerful combination of real estate and high-cash-value life insurance—now known as the Passive Income Machine.   Today, Ryan is a trusted mentor and speaker who has helped thousands achieve financial independence. As the co-founder of Wealth Outside Wall Street, he’s on a mission to teach individuals how to build cash-flowing assets, break free from conventional financial systems, and live a life of purpose and freedom.   Connect With Ryan: Website: https://wealthoutsidewallstreet.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theryandlee/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryan_d_lee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wealthoutsidewallstreet/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-d-lee-31838b304/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WealthOutsideWallStreet

    Episode 1287: Why Once-a-Year Accounting Fails with Peter Holtz

    Most business owners do not lose control all at once. They lose it slowly, one missed number, one poor structure, and one reactive tax decision at a time.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Peter Holtz, President of Peter Holtz CPA, who explains why traditional once-a-year accounting often leaves owners overpaying taxes, missing deductions, and making last-minute decisions that undermine long-term growth. He also explains how proactive planning, accurate books, smart business structure, margin awareness, and the right advisory team can help entrepreneurs regain control and build stronger, more profitable businesses.   Key Takeaways: → Business owners need proactive tax planning, not year-end panic attacks. → Accurate books are the foundation for better tax decisions. → The wrong business structure can cost owners money. → A good CPA should do more than fill out boxes on a tax return. → Tax strategy should align with the owner's, business's, and family's goals.    Peter Holtz is a seasoned CPA, entrepreneur, and tax strategist who helps business owners keep more of what they earn through proactive, year-round tax planning. With more than 20 years of experience, including time in Big 4 accounting and CFO roles for multiple companies, Peter has seen how traditional, once-a-year accounting often leaves business owners overpaying and underprepared. After recognizing the need for a more strategic approach, Peter built multiple eight-figure accounting firms designed to help business owners outsmart the IRS without relying on aggressive loopholes or unnecessary risk. He works with owners earning $500K to $10M+ to reduce taxes, protect wealth, and turn their CPA relationship into a true profit center.   Connect With Peter: Website: https://peterholtzcpa.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterholtzcpa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeterHoltzCPA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peterholtzcpa https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-holtz/
