Ep. 2- Daniel breaks down the core principles of real estate investing. Drawing from his background in performance psychology, teaching, and commercial real estate, Daniel dismantles common industry myths—explaining why a high income isn't the same as true wealth and why you don't need millions to get started. He offers a practical primer on essential investing strategies and concepts, covering:

- Accessibility: How syndications (starting at $50k) and out-of-state submarkets lower the barrier to entry.

- Key Definitions: Clear breakdowns of Cap Rates, 1031 Exchanges, and Gross vs. Net Leases.

- Wealth Accelerators: Leveraging bank financing to multiply returns and managing the risk-versus-reward tradeoff across different geographic markets.

- Mindset: Why time in the market beats timing the market, and why your primary residence isn't a substitute for income-producing assets.

Ep. 1 - In the premiere episode of Wealth Built, host Daniel Freeman takes the hot seat as interviewee. Joined by Kimberly Lovi, Founder of Iconic Nation Media, Daniel steps into the spotlight to level-set the core vision and ethos driving the show: defining wealth not as a flex of status, but as the ultimate tool to buy back time, freedom, and independence for families. Daniel shares his candid personal evolution—moving to the U.S., growing up with a heavy focus on education, working long 12- to 16-hour days as a "freeway professor," and ultimately pivoting into real estate to be present for his two young children. From starting in residential sales during COVID to strategically scaling into commercial real estate, net-lease property management, and out-of-state syndications, Daniel unpacks how calculated decisions convert success into lasting legacy.
