📌 In this episode of the Two Stunads Podcast, we sit down with Tim Ninowski, a multi million dollar entrepreneur and financial advisor with an incredible story of resilience, reinvention, and perseverance.

Tim opens up about navigating divorce while raising kids, the lessons he learned as a father, and the values that guided him through some of life’s toughest seasons. He also shares how he built a successful document management company, pivoted through massive industry shifts, and what it was like to sell the business right before his wedding. After the dust settled, Tim found himself stressed, sick and jobless at 40 — but with the help of his wife Viviana, he discovered a new purpose in financial planning.

🔥 Topics we hit:

» Going through divorce and staying present for his kids

» Building and scaling a document management company through pivots

» The stress of payroll, cash flow, and handling 100+ employees

» Selling his business and the unexpected fallout

» Finding balance, health, and perspective after burnout

» Reinventing himself with Northwestern Mutual and helping others plan for the future

✅ Why “Success Leaves Clues” — if you study the right people, you’ll find the blueprint.

✅ The mindset that you don’t need easy, you need possible.

✅ Archimedes’ wisdom: “Give me a lever and I’ll lift the world.”
