Thursday Oct 28, 2021
Thursday Oct 28, 2021
On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth is joined by Ken Van Liew as they talk about how you can stack, scale and supercharge your investment returns! Ken has built Manhattan skyscrapers, studied under Tony Robbins, and has been responsible for over a billion dollars of commercial real estate construction across dozens of projects that have forever changed the New York City skyline. Learn how you can put your money to work for you, rather than the other way around. Enjoy the episode!
“If you want to create any type of process mastery, you have to mirror and model, but if you don’t set a basis for measuring, you’re not going to get the result that you want.”
HIGHLIGHTS:
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:
How Ken got into building Manhattan skyscrapers, the “apex” of commercial development
How to transition from W2 engineer to having your own projects
Why motivation and productivity are the keys to achieve long term success
Why work-life balance is completely unachievable
Discover the Modern Wealth Building Formula
Ken’s hot takes on the hottest investments in today’s and tomorrow’s market
And so much more!
ABOUT | KEN VAN LIEW:
Ken Van Liew started his professional career with a civil design engineering job, twins, and two master’s degrees, underpinned with a six-figure debt and a burning desire to serve others.
Ten years later, he cut the ribbon on the development of a 17-million-dollar, 72,000 square feet, 113-bed assisted living facility. He parlayed this success into a Staten Island waterfront development and began a mastery journey with Tony Robbins. Unfortunately, while attending a Tony Robbins event in Hawaii, his waterfront development was terminated due to the World Trade Center tragedies.
This moment gave Ken time to reflect on where he was, where he wanted to be, and the impact he wanted to have. Alongside the syndication and development of over a billion dollars of high-profile real estate investments, Ken created the Modern Wealth Building Formula as the fastest track to building wealth – a project that has empowered thousands of developers over the last 20 years.
Simply put, Ken is a titan in the world of real estate responsible for over a billion dollars of construction across dozens of projects and has forever changed the New York skyline. In addition, Ken regularly speaks on stages, including NYU Real Estate Institute and the College of Engineering at Rutgers University, and is a best-selling author. Ken is an unsung hero in the world of stage magic, has been married for over 30 years, and is the proud father of three talented and successful children.
