From traveling and investing together to helping coach and lead members, Patrice shares the journey that took him from being the community’s first member to becoming a leader within it. Patrice opens up about being an introvert and the importance of putting yourself out there, developing skills like sales, public speaking, and negotiation, and refusing to hide the gifts you have to offer. He also explains how the way you dress can influence confidence, create opportunities, and communicate who you are before you ever say a word. The conversation also explores Patrice’s entrepreneurial journey, including his experience in fashion consulting, running a yacht business, and the lessons he learned about being present in your business and choosing the right partners. Patrice shares how a business needs to be nurtured, why you need to truly know the people you go into business with, and what he learned from ventures that didn’t go as planned. Patrice also discusses investing outside of Canada, including his decision to purchase land in Belize and his vision for eventually building and investing throughout the Caribbean. He shares what attracted him to Expand Wealth, his role working with investors, and why he believes passive real estate investing can provide another way for people to put their capital to work. As Patrice prepares to leave his government career and enter a new chapter focused on real estate, investing, family, and supporting his daughter’s professional soccer journey, this episode is ultimately a conversation about growth, reinvention, confidence, and having the courage to step into what comes next. 👇 In this episode, you’ll learn: How an introvert can build confidence and put themselves out there Why developing skills like sales, public speaking, and negotiation matters How the way you dress can influence confidence and opportunities The biggest lessons Patrice learned from his fashion and yacht businesses Why you need to be careful about who you choose as a business partner What to consider when investing in real estate outside of Canada Why Patrice invested in Belize and his plans for the Caribbean The opportunities available through passive real estate investing How changing your mindset can help you transition into a new chapter of life 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, and building long-term wealth.

In this special solo episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, Alfonso Cuadra steps away from the usual guest format to answer questions from the audience and share some of the lessons that have shaped his life, business, and approach to real estate. Alfonso opens up about the importance of having a sense of urgency and continuing to move forward—even after you've already achieved success. He explains why becoming comfortable can be one of the biggest obstacles to growth and why he continues to work, build, and invest even though he could have retired years ago. The conversation then moves into real estate, where Alfonso breaks down a strategy he believes can be particularly dangerous for inexperienced investors: flipping. He explains why relying on appreciation and having to sell an asset to make money can expose investors to significant risk, especially when markets turn. Instead, he shares why he prefers boring, long-term investing strategies focused on multifamily properties, cash flow, and managing downside risk. Alfonso also answers the question: "If someone gave you $50,000 today, how would you invest it?" His answer reveals how he thinks about leverage, partnerships, and using capital as a tool to build much larger real estate portfolios. But the most personal part of the episode comes when Alfonso is asked what belief about himself had to die for him to become the person he is today. He shares the story of growing up as an immigrant, struggling in school, being labeled with learning disabilities, dropping out of high school at 15, and eventually living on the streets. He explains how years of believing he wasn't smart or capable shaped his decisions—and how he eventually had to completely change the way he saw himself. Alfonso then shares one of the most defining moments of his life: at 17, a father figure named Peter helped him prepare for a court appearance by taking him to buy his first suit. When Alfonso looked in the mirror wearing that oversized second-hand suit, he says that for the first time, he saw potential in himself. That moment became a turning point that changed the trajectory of his life. This episode is about much more than real estate. It's about urgency, resilience, self-belief, taking control of your future, and becoming the person you know you're capable of becoming. 👇 In this episode, you'll learn: • Why Alfonso believes urgency is essential to continued growth • The real risks behind popular real estate strategies like flipping • Why he prefers long-term multifamily investing • How he would deploy $50,000 into real estate today • The limiting beliefs Alfonso had to overcome • How a single moment at 17 changed the trajectory of his life • Why your past doesn't have to determine your future • The importance of continuing to level up even after achieving success 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, and building long-term wealth.

In this episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, host Alfonso Cuadra sits down with Gail Lync for an inspiring conversation about embracing change, taking calculated risks, and continuously reinventing yourself. Alfonso first connected with Gail through the WealthGenius community and was immediately fascinated by her adventurous personality and willingness to step outside of her comfort zone. From hang gliding in Switzerland to taking on new challenges later in life, Gail believes that life is meant to be experienced—and that curiosity is one of the keys to staying engaged and fulfilled. But Gail's story goes much deeper than adventure. Throughout her life, she has successfully transitioned through multiple careers and industries. Starting as a high school History and English teacher, she later pursued public administration, worked in government and the private sector, built a consulting career, became a real estate professional, and also serves as a federal returning officer responsible for organizing elections. Together, Gail and Alfonso discuss one of the biggest challenges people face: knowing when it's time to make a change. Whether it's leaving a career, starting a business, getting into real estate investing, or navigating a major life transition, Gail shares why fear should never be the reason you stay stuck. Using the transformation of a butterfly as a powerful metaphor, Gail explains that growth often requires struggle, discomfort, and stepping into the unknown. But on the other side of change can be an entirely new version of yourself. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to stay in one lane for your entire life. Your past doesn't define your future—and sometimes the biggest opportunities begin when you finally decide to take the leap. 👇 In this episode, you'll learn: • How to embrace major transitions in life and business • Why staying comfortable can prevent you from growing • The importance of taking calculated risks • How Gail successfully transitioned through multiple careers • Why it's never too late to reinvent yourself • How to identify what truly makes you happy • Why you shouldn't wait to pursue your passion • The mindset needed to step outside your comfort zone 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, and building long-term wealth.

In this episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, host Alfonso Cuadra sits down with longtime friend and real estate professional Edmundo Roa for a conversation that goes way beyond real estate. Alfonso and Edmundo go back nearly 35 years, and in this episode they revisit their journey from growing up together to eventually building successful careers in real estate. Edmundo shares how he transitioned away from his family's travel business after nearly two decades in the industry and made real estate his primary focus. The conversation dives deep into multifamily investing, secondary and tertiary markets, financing, and the importance of starting small. Edmundo explains why new investors shouldn't always rush into massive projects and why understanding your market, building the right relationships, and earning your experience can make all the difference. They also discuss why Edmundo has focused heavily on secondary markets around Ottawa, how these communities can offer more accessible development opportunities, and why population growth and housing demand could create significant opportunities for investors outside Canada's major urban centres. But perhaps the biggest theme throughout the episode is relationships. Edmundo built his business around client service, repeat business, and word-of-mouth rather than chasing volume. Alfonso shares firsthand stories of working with Edmundo and why he's become someone he trusts for some of his most important real estate transactions.
