    The Capital Tool Your Banker Will Never Tell You About with Tyrus Shivers (Part 1)

    What does a medically retired Air Force veteran do when the plan falls apart? He pivots — and builds something bigger. In this episode, host Michael Aguas sits down with Tyrus Shivers, CEO and founder of Legacy Wealth Capital Group, for a raw and revelatory conversation about failure, discipline, and the capital strategies most entrepreneurs never learn. Tyrus shares how he built a property management company from zero to 1.2 million in 18 months, managed 250 units — then walked away from it all $300K in debt. But that's not the end of the story. Tyrus breaks down the military mindset that fuels his entrepreneurial playbook, the costly mistake of "shiny object syndrome," and why shutting down instead of selling was the most expensive lesson of his career.
