Description

Ever felt like you're doing everything right, only to have life rip the rug right out from under you? Yeah...me too. Today, I'm sitting down with Justin Colby, a real estate powerhouse who’s seen the highs, survived the lows, and came back stronger than ever. He’s been investing in real estate for almost 20 years, closed over 3,000 deals, built a portfolio of 50+ rental properties, apartment complexes, and a storage facility, and even wrote a national bestselling book, Flipping to Wealth. Oh, and did I mention he’s the host of not one, but TWO Top 10 podcasts on Apple? But before all that, Justin was sleeping on a couch, watching the repo man tow away his six-figure car and the bank take back his half-million-dollar home. He lost everything. And instead of staying down, he rebuilt his life from the ground up not just in real estate, but in mindset, relationships, and fulfillment. We go deep in this one. We’re talking: 🔥 Losing it all & finding the drive to build an epic life 🔥 Why real estate is still the greatest wealth builder even in today’s market 🔥 How to shift from “chasing success” to actually feeling fulfilled 🔥 The mindset shift that separates the winners from the quitters 🔥 Why relationships, not transactions, will make you rich If you’re in the grind, if you’re doubting your next move, or if you just need a wake-up call to stop playing small, this episode is for you. Listen now, because this one might just be the push you need. 🚩SUBSCRIBE 🚩 to my Youtube Channel Here: / @hannahbhammond ============================================== 👉🏽 Follow Hannah Hammond: IG : / hannahbhammond TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahbhammon...
