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 question isn’t whether you can make more money.

The question is:

Can you build a business and financial life that gives you more FREEDOM?

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.
