The Shift - Build Your Life On Your Own Terms

Jeremiah Benson, a former commercial plumber turned real estate investor, shared his inspiring journey on a podcast, explaining how he transitioned from a traditional W-2 career to entrepreneurship. Raised in a blue-collar family, Jeremiah spent 16 years in the plumbing industry, gradually realizing he wanted more from life than the daily grind. Motivated by personal development podcasts and a desire for financial independence, he started exploring real estate investing. When workplace toxicity pushed him out of his comfort zone, he took the leap, tapping into his 401(k) and betting on his ability to succeed. With the support of his wife and the knowledge he'd accumulated, Benson now thrives in the real estate world, demonstrating the power of betting on oneself to break free from limiting environments.

I’d like to welcome to our show, Samir Patel, who's joining us all the way from Northern Virginia. One day, after graduating college and starting his first job, Samir realized that working a 9-to-5 job for 40 years and retiring wasn't going to cut it for him. He began exploring ways to make money, build wealth, and get rich, and after reading a ton of forums and articles, he stumbled upon a book that everyone was raving about - Rich Dad Poor Dad.
