If your version of “success” still has you missing bedtime… it might be time to change the game plan.

In this episode, Carl sits down with Steve Palise, a dad, business owner, and accidental evangelist for low-stress commercial property investing. They unpack everything from leaving engineering to scaling a lean, mean, lifestyle-first property business.

Steve isn’t talking theory. He’s living the dream most of us are still trying to define, debt-free commercial assets, half a million in passive income, and family travel 4 months a year with time to surf to top it off.

We go deep on how you can build a freedom-rich future with simple, smart, replicable decisions that put your family front and center, not just in your values, but in your calendar as well.

This isn’t about being flashy, it’s about building a life you don’t want to escape from. Commercial property investing isn’t just for suits. It’s also perfect for dads who want live their best life.
