Brian outlines his goal of seven super-pillars of passive income across real estate, private equity, syndicated deals, and options, and shares his non-negotiables for alignment: deep-pocketed partners, operators who only win after investors win, and real skin in the game. The panel ends with a strong reminder to respect other people’s capital and only raise money if you’re prepared to protect it.🎧 Powered by the Family Office Club — the #1 global community for family offices, investors, and capital raisers.🔗 Learn more at FamilyOffices.comhttps://familyoffices.com/
