In this inspiring episode of Approaching Infinity, we are delighted to host Stephen Read, founder of HIT Investments, a trailblazer in financial independence and wealth democratization. Stephen shares his journey from humble beginnings as a farmhand, through a career as a professional baseball player and engineer, to leading an investment firm dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their financial goals.

Stephen delves into the principles of financial literacy, sharing lessons from his early experiences with investing in a Roth IRA and learning the importance of minimizing costs. He explains how these foundational values shaped his approach to creating HIT Investments and managing three private funds specializing in micro-caps, startups, and bridge loans. His insights into democratizing wealth—breaking down barriers to alternative investments—are both thought-provoking and actionable.

Listeners will gain valuable knowledge about evaluating startups, the intricacies of bridge loans, and the importance of crafting a financial plan that aligns with individual goals and risk tolerance. Stephen’s passion for financial literacy and empowering others shines through as he discusses HIT Investments’ mission to create opportunities for all, not just the wealthy.

Join us as Stephen shares his advice on following your curiosity, breaking barriers, and building wealth through thoughtful planning and investment strategies!
