206: How to Build Wealth Like the Top 1% with Dave Wolcott

Have you ever been told that maxing out your 401(k) and diversifying into stocks and bonds is the safest path to wealth?

Today, I’m speaking with Dave Wolcott—entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Pantheon Investments—who breaks down how the wealthiest people really invest. After following the traditional financial advice and feeling stuck, Dave realized there was a better way to build wealth through alternative investments. He has since dedicated his career to helping people unlock the playbook that the top 1% use to grow and preserve their wealth.

In our chat, Dave dives into his personal story of leaving corporate America, discovering financial freedom through alternative assets, and creating a strategy that combines mindset, relationships, and investments. He also shares how he’s passing these lessons on to his children and clients to help them preserve generational wealth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ How the wealthiest people invest—and why they only allocate a small percentage to the stock market.

✅ Tax-free passive income through smart asset repositioning and alternative real estate investments that outperform typical 401(k)s and Wall Street options.

✅ Dave’s 5 Phases of Holistic Wealth—a step-by-step strategy to build, protect, and multiply wealth while maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. You'll discover how to shift from active income to massive passive income streams, allowing you to create financial freedom.
