I've progressed from owning fixer upper duplexes in the north end of Winnipeg where I would do the renos myself late into the night; to purchasing large apartment buildings to acquiring properties in 13 different cities across Canada and the United States. to now buying office buildings and institutional-grade grocery-anchored retail centers leased to national tenants and publicly traded companies like Walmart, Safeway, and Loblaws.Before 27, I achieved lean FIRE, all thanks to the inspiration and fundamental concepts from the BP podcast and the incredible people I've met along the way in this entrepreneurial journey by betting on myself, committing to lifelong learning, and nurturing an insatiable curiosity.If someone like me, who barely made it through high school and would be considered "unlikely to succeed" by my peers, can do it, so can anyone reading this.
