On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney podcast, Seth is joined by Damion Lupo as they talk about how we are stuck in an outdated, old way of thinking not only about retirement but life in general. The pit bosses of Wall Street do everything in their power to make you work nine-to-five until your retirement because that is their way to control you in line their pockets. Damion is tired of this dark and scare tactic to drum up fear and trepidation about anything outside of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, so he came up with a unique tool – a fusion of financial literacy and a strategy called eQRP – to allow you to control your retirement money and get off the Wall Street rollercoaster. Enjoy!
“Conventional wisdom is going to keep you enslaved and in shackles; you really have to think about that. If you’re going along the mainstream with whatever you’re doing, it’s never going to set you free. ”
HIGHLIGHTS:
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:
The fear of being eaten by polar bears and bankruptcy.
Exposing the lack of financial education as a system meant to create employees.
Shortcomings of the 401(k) system and how Wall Street is taking advantage of it.
Having control over your money and assets with the eQRP.
Diving deeper into the eQRP and why it is a better choice than other models.
Advice on taking control and creating multiple streams of income through real estate.
And so much more!
ABOUT | DAMION LUPO:
Damion Lupo’s mission is simple: to free a million people from financial bondage. His unique tool is a fusion of financial literacy and a little-known strategy called the eQRP® that allows investors to control their retirement money and get off the wall street roller coaster.
He’s the Best-Selling Author of 12 books on personal finance, investment, and retirement planning. He hosts the Financial Underdogs podcast, has owned more than 50 companies, and is the founder of his own martial art, Yokido®.
Damion is the Chief Honey Badger at the eQRP Co. and the lead architect of the eQRP® -- the Ferrari of 401(k)s®. The eQRP® is a unique and powerful system to put individuals in command of their own investments and breaking that money out of the Wall Street Jail.
Damion is also a professional investor with decades of real-world experience that started with purchasing his first rental using a VISA card advance -- a move that snowballed into 150 rental houses in less than five years. In 2008 he lost the whole $20 million business to bounce back and recreate his wealth in 5 years.

ABOUT | DR. JEFF ANZALONE:
Dr. Jeff Anzalone is a full-time practicing periodontist in the great state of Louisiana, author, and founder of DebtFreeDr.com. His focus is on helping doctors, and other high-income professionals create passive income from real estate so that they can stop trading their time for money.
Dr. Jeff, like most people, dealt with many failures and setbacks along his path to success. Only two weeks before completing his surgical dental residency, his plans fell through to join a group practice which he was relying on to teach him how to run a business.
This left him with no job, an interest-only mortgage, a two-month-old, and close to $300,000 in student loan debt.
After becoming debt-free, he shifted his focus to acquiring streams of passive income using real estate as he realized that his practice income was their only income stream at the time.
He now uses his blog, DebtFreeDr.com, to educate doctors and other high-income professionals on how to passively invest in real estate so that they can stop trading their time for money.
