In this episode, Randy Langenderfer and I dive into the sharp mindset shift that challenges conventional financial advice: is spreading yourself thin actually making you stronger—or just keeping you from being great?
The conversation tackles the quote often echoed in investing circles—“Diversification is for rookies”—and reframes it in a powerful way. Coming from a Marine Corps background, I explain why mastering your craft before chasing multiple strategies matters in both real estate and life. Just like in the military, you don’t jump into other roles until you’ve fully owned your own.
This episode is all about focus, discipline, and why doing one thing really well can be your fastest route to long-term success. If you're overwhelmed with too many plays in the playbook, this one’s for you.
