In this episode, Graham speaks with Justin Maxwell, managing partner of Big Life Financial, to discuss the necessary shift for business owners from being an Owner Operator to an Owner Investor. Justin, who transitioned from being a school teacher to an entrepreneur, highlights the importance of building a new identity outside of the business, establishing a financial operating system to consistently build separate wealth, and intentional planning that aligns personal, business, and financial visions. He also introduces the concept of the 150-year Family Vision to break the "boom-or-bust" wealth cycle. Learn in this episode how to achieve true freedom and lasting generational wealth.
