    EP 233 | Building Skyscrapers with an Empire State of Mind with Ken Van Liew (Encore)

    On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth is joined by Ken Van Liew as they talk about how you can stack, scale and supercharge your investment returns! Ken has built Manhattan skyscrapers, studied under Tony Robbins, and has been responsible for over a billion dollars of commercial real estate construction across dozens of projects that have forever changed the New York City skyline. Learn how you can put your money to work for you, rather than the other way around. Enjoy the episode! “If you want to create any type of process mastery, you have to mirror and model, but if you don’t set a basis for measuring, you’re not going to get the result that you want.” HIGHLIGHTS: Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode: How Ken got into building Manhattan skyscrapers, the “apex” of commercial development How to transition from W2 engineer to having your own projects Why motivation and productivity are the keys to achieve long term success Why work-life balance is completely unachievable Discover the Modern Wealth Building Formula Ken’s hot takes on the hottest investments in today’s and tomorrow’s market And so much more!   ABOUT | KEN VAN LIEW: Ken Van Liew started his professional career with a civil design engineering job, twins, and two master’s degrees, underpinned with a six-figure debt and a burning desire to serve others. Ten years later, he cut the ribbon on the development of a 17-million-dollar, 72,000 square feet, 113-bed assisted living facility. He parlayed this success into a Staten Island waterfront development and began a mastery journey with Tony Robbins. Unfortunately, while attending a Tony Robbins event in Hawaii, his waterfront development was terminated due to the World Trade Center tragedies. This moment gave Ken time to reflect on where he was, where he wanted to be, and the impact he wanted to have. Alongside the syndication and development of over a billion dollars of high-profile real estate investments, Ken created the Modern Wealth Building Formula as the fastest track to building wealth – a project that has empowered thousands of developers over the last 20 years. Simply put, Ken is a titan in the world of real estate responsible for over a billion dollars of construction across dozens of projects and has forever changed the New York skyline. In addition, Ken regularly speaks on stages, including NYU Real Estate Institute and the College of Engineering at Rutgers University, and is a best-selling author. Ken is an unsung hero in the world of stage magic, has been married for over 30 years, and is the proud father of three talented and successful children.   FIND | KEN VAN LIEW: Free 45-min Strategy Session: https://strategic.kenvanliew.com/ Free Book: https://my.kenvanliew.com/freebook Website: www.kenvanliew.com ✈️ CONNECT | SETH BRADLEY: 👉🏽 Don't Know Where to Start?: www.sethpaulbradley.com Download The Freedom Blueprint: www.attorneybydesign.com Subscribe and Leave a Rating and Review: ✅ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-passive-income-attorney-podcast/id1543049208 ✅ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5a0Qp9G2x337nZCDWoVgoO?si=MKn01_t8Tfu0JBZCnagrCw Websites: ✅ Coaching: www.passiveincomepro.io ✅ Legal: www.bradleylawlimited.com ✅ Podcast: www.passiveincomeattorney.com ✅ Investing: www.lawcapitalpartners.com   Follow Us: ✅ LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/sethpaulbradley ✅ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/passiveincomeattorney ✅ Instagram: www.instagram.com/sethbradleyesq ✅ YouTube:  www.youtube.com/@sethpaulbradley ✅ TikTok:  www.tiktok.com/@sethbradleyesq

    EP 231 | How to Design Your Business Around Your Desired Lifestyle with Chad Wittfeldt (Encore)

    On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth is joined by his friend and fellow passive income expert Chad Wittfeldt, as they talk about building your business around your life rather than the other way around. Inside this episode, you’ll learn how to live with purpose and with your end game in mind, so that you can choose the right passive income streams for you. Chad is an entrepreneur, master marketer, and real estate investor passionate about freedom, flexibility, and fun. Enjoy the show! “Just be bold, be yourself, and just do what your gut tells you to do. All it takes is one or two wins from doing just that, and you’ll feel unstoppable.” HIGHLIGHTS: Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode: Changing to an abundant mindset at an early age resulted from exposure to business owners Using the Wall Street rule of time allocation to your advantage How to be on the cutting edge of cryptocurrency investing Designing a life according to your liking by having a business that can run on its own How you can buy back your time and do the things you love And so much more!   ABOUT | CHAD WITTFELDT: Chad is an entrepreneur and a real estate investor. He started his entrepreneurial journey at a very young age. He quickly got started investing in equities and currency markets in his teens and later moved into real estate investments. While real estate has always been his interest, he didn’t know how to get into the market at the time effectively. So he put his skill set to use and has since syndicated over $30,000,000 in apartments. This growth later spawned his marketing agency, where he serves other entrepreneurs by building their attraction-based marketing systems and automation. Today, Chad stays focused on his businesses, creating cash flow, and living a life they told him he couldn’t have.   FIND | CHAD WITTFELDT: Website: www.chadwittfeldt.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/chad.wittfeldt ✈️ CONNECT | SETH BRADLEY: 👉🏽 Don't Know Where to Start?: www.sethpaulbradley.com Download The Freedom Blueprint: www.attorneybydesign.com Subscribe and Leave a Rating and Review: ✅ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-passive-income-attorney-podcast/id1543049208 ✅ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5a0Qp9G2x337nZCDWoVgoO?si=MKn01_t8Tfu0JBZCnagrCw Websites: ✅ Coaching: www.passiveincomepro.io ✅ Legal: www.bradleylawlimited.com ✅ Podcast: www.passiveincomeattorney.com ✅ Investing: www.lawcapitalpartners.com   Follow Us: ✅ LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/sethpaulbradley ✅ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/passiveincomeattorney ✅ Instagram: www.instagram.com/sethbradleyesq ✅ YouTube:  www.youtube.com/@sethpaulbradley ✅ TikTok:  www.tiktok.com/@sethbradleyesq
