WHAT IF THE BUSINESS YOU BUILT TO GIVE YOU FREEDOM… IS ACTUALLY STEALING YOUR LIFE? On this powerful episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, I sit down with entrepreneur, author, and creator of the Buy Back Time Formula, George Rivera, to talk about something every entrepreneur, leader, and high achiever needs to hear. George spent nearly 30 years building businesses, including multiple eight-figure companies and a supplement business that generated more than $250 MILLION. But success came with a price. Long hours. Stress. Exhaustion. And precious moments with his family he could never get back. Then his father gave him a message that changed everything: “Don’t miss Leo’s games.” That wake-up call forced George to redefine what SUCCESS really means. Today, he teaches entrepreneurs how to stop being the bottleneck, eliminate low-value work, automate what they can, delegate outcomes instead of just tasks, and build systems that allow the business to grow WITHOUT sacrificing their health, family, or life. Because you can always make another dollar. You cannot make another minute. If your business owns YOU instead of you owning your business, this conversation could change the way you work, and the way you live. 🎙️ Listen now.

HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR BUSINESS, INCOME, AND LIFE TO THE NEXT LEVEL? On this powerful episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, Richard Kaufman sits down with Chris Larsen, founder of Next-Level Income, to talk about what it really takes to stop thinking small, build wealth, create financial freedom, and take your business to the NEXT LEVEL. Chris isn’t teaching theory. He bought his first rental property at just 21 years old while attending Virginia Tech and has spent more than two decades investing in and managing real estate. Since 2016, he has been involved in over $1.5 BILLION in real-estate acquisitions, with experience spanning multifamily, self-storage, hotels, mobile-home parks, senior housing, private lending, distressed debt and more. Before going all-in on Next-Level Income, Chris spent 18 years in the medical-device industry. He holds a degree in Biomechanical Engineering and an MBA in Finance from Virginia Tech, and even competed as an All-American cyclist. But Chris’s story isn’t simply about making more money. It’s about creating FREEDOM. Chris achieved financial independence at a relatively young age and has made it his mission to help others understand how to make money, keep more of it, invest intelligently, and ultimately build a life where their money works for them instead of spending their entire lives working for money. In this episode, we dive into: • Taking your business to the next level Developing an entrepreneur’s mindset • Creating multiple streams of income • Building wealth through smart investing • Turning active income into long-term financial freedom • Scaling without sacrificing your entire life • Thinking bigger about your business, money, time, and future If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, veteran, leader, investor, or anyone who knows they’re capable of MORE, you need to hear this conversation.

THE BANK SAID NO, SO HE FOUND $2.15 MILLION SOMEWHERE ELSE. What happens when you have real estate deals ready to close…and suddenly the bank cuts you off? You find another way. On this powerful episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, I sit down with Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority, a real estate investor who has been buying and selling homes since 2003. When Jay’s bank abruptly shut down his funding in 2009, he could have walked away. Instead, that setback changed the trajectory of his business. Jay developed a completely different approach to funding real estate. His first private lender committed $250,000, and within months, Jay had raised $2.15 MILLION in private money. In this episode, we dive into: • What private money really is • Why private money and hard money are NOT the same thing • How Jay finds people willing to fund real estate deals • How investors can stop depending solely on traditional banks • How relationships can become one of your greatest sources of capital • Why you may be closer to funding your next deal than you think • How one massive setback became the catalyst for Jay’s entire business If you’ve ever said… “I found the deal, but I don’t have the money.” You NEED to hear this conversation. Because sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and the next level isn’t finding the opportunity. It’s knowing where to find the money. 🎙️ Listen to my conversation with Jay Conner , The Private Money Authority.

ARE YOU MAKING A SIX-FIGURE SOCIAL SECURITY MISTAKE? 💰 Most Americans spend decades building their retirement, but one Social Security decision could impact their income for the rest of their lives.

🐾 They Rescue Dogs. They Save Heroes. | Brian Reyngoudt | Operation K9 Beethoven What happens when you rescue a dog… and that dog rescues a veteran right back? In this unforgettable episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, Richard Kaufman sits down with Brian Reyngoudt, Co-Founder and Vice President of Operation K9 Beethoven, a nonprofit on a mission to restore hope to veterans and first responders living with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and the invisible wounds of service. Brian’s passion for serving the military community was inspired in part by his father, a three-time Purple Heart recipient, and has become a lifelong mission of helping veterans “one paw at a time.” Operation K9 Beethoven doesn’t just train service dogs, they rescue dogs from shelters and pair them with veterans at no cost, creating life-changing partnerships that give both the veteran and the dog a second chance. Every service dog is matched, trained, and sent home with everything needed to succeed, from a service vest to food, bedding, toys, and more. The organization also brings comfort into veterans’ homes, hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation centers through its therapy dog program. During this powerful conversation, Brian shares: 🐕 Why a service dog can be life-changing for someone living with PTSD. 🇺🇸 The inspiring story behind Operation K9 Beethoven. ❤️ How rescued shelter dogs become highly trained psychiatric service dogs. 💪 Why purpose, compassion, and community are essential to healing. 🌎 How every listener can help save both veterans and rescue dogs. This episode is a moving reminder that healing doesn’t always come through words. Sometimes, it arrives with four paws, unconditional love, and a wagging tail. 🎙️ If you believe no veteran should fight their battles alone, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. 👉 Subscribe to the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, share this episode with someone who needs hope, and visit Operation K9 Beethoven to learn how you can donate, volunteer, sponsor a service dog, or apply for assistance.
