    He managed $250M in real estate at 25 - then drained his 401k to start over | Tyler Dunagin | JTL 148

    At 25, Tyler Dunagin was managing a quarter billion dollars in real estate assets for someone else. He had the title, the income, and the career path everyone said to want. Then he drained his 401k, bought a box truck, and started flipping apartments. His parents asked: "Are you sure?" He said: "It's too late. Already did it." Today Tyler runs Turn Serve - an Inc 5,000 listed company, ranked 2nd fastest-growing in its space - plus a platform of brands and a patented bathroom product he invented himself. And he did it without connections, without a business degree, and without a plan that looked good on paper. In this conversation, Tyler gets into: → Why your "why" is allowed to start selfish, and why that's actually the right place to start → The counterintuitive habit his coach forced on him that unlocked his best thinking → Why far less qualified people are doing far more than you - not because they're smarter, but because they simply decided to start → How curiosity beats credentials every single time→ What it really means to leave a legacy (hint: it's not the house or the trust fund) This one will hit.
