Today on the Future Proof Business podcast, host Daniel Rosenstein welcomes David Webb, The No Money Millionaire!

David's journey is the ultimate proof that you can go from broke to building a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio by shifting your mindset and leveraging creative finance—all without using a dime of your own money. His message is simple, gritty, and real: No Money. No Excuses.

Starting from the inner city of Detroit with limited resources, David shares how he overcame immense adversity and the crippling belief that "investing is only for the wealthy." This is a must-watch for anyone who has ever felt stuck or believed financial freedom was out of reach.

🔑 In This Episode, You Will Learn:

Mindset Over Money: David shares the essential transformation: the moment he realized he had already completed two no-money deals and how breaking limiting beliefs is the non-negotiable first step to wealth. He teaches you how to move from a life of working hard for your money to having your assets work for you.

The Creative Finance Arsenal: Get the insider breakdown of the no-money-down strategies David used to build his portfolio:

OPM (Other People's Money): How to structure deals that protect your private capital partners, even when you have no track record, by "killing them with your numbers" and leveraging the asset's security.

Seller Finance & Hard Money: Real-life case studies, including the story of negotiating his way into his childhood home using gifted equity and a recent 100% financed deal (purchase + renovations).

The Power of Action: David recounts the unbelievable story of his project manager, who—when forced out of his lease—used creative finance to close on a cash-flowing triplex with zero money out of pocket, proving that sometimes you just need that "push out of the nest."

Beyond Financial Freedom: David discusses his legacy—it's not about the wealth; it's about getting back his time and changing generations by introducing homeownership and abundance into families who never thought it was possible.

What If You Lost Everything? David provides the immediate, actionable steps he would take to rebuild a multi-million dollar portfolio from scratch today.

David's story resonates because he's lived both sides—struggling just to get by, and then building a life of financial freedom. If your goal is to achieve wealth without relying on your W2 or savings, this is your blueprint.

What if the same discipline that earns a black belt could help you break through business, mental, and emotional barriers?

In this inspiring episode of Future Proof Business with Daniel Rosenstein, we sit down with Chris Natzke — 7th-degree black belt, U.S. National Taekwondo Champion, author, and leadership coach — to explore how the mindset of a martial artist can unlock success in business, leadership, and life.

Chris’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. Once a shy, bullied child searching for confidence, he found Taekwondo and began a lifelong pursuit of discipline, focus, and purpose. That path took him from underdog to U.S. National Champion, and eventually, to becoming a master instructor and sought-after leadership speaker. Today, Chris empowers entrepreneurs and executives worldwide through his Black Belt Leadership framework — helping them master their mindset, lead with authenticity, and stay balanced through challenge and change.

In this conversation, Daniel and Chris unpack the deeper connection between martial arts and modern leadership. You’ll learn how discipline, self-awareness, and emotional mastery form the foundation of great business success. Whether you lead a team, run a company, or simply want to perform at a higher level, this episode will remind you that your inner strength is your greatest asset.

✅ How martial arts principles apply to business and leadership

✅ The link between emotional intelligence and long-term success

✅ The 7 Qualities of Black Belt Leadership

✅ How to rebuild identity and confidence after setbacks

✅ Daily practices for focus, presence, and heart-centered decision-making

Chris believes that the same focus used to break boards can help entrepreneurs break barriers — limiting beliefs, fear, and burnout. His teachings blend physical discipline with emotional wisdom, offering practical tools for anyone navigating uncertainty or pressure in their career.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost momentum, or struggled with the weight of leadership, this episode will give you perspective, energy, and renewed confidence. Chris’s insights show that the true black belt mindset isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, persistence, and purpose.
