Today’s episode is a joint presentation and episode of Dentist Freedom Blueprint Podcast and Big Mike Fund Podcast. Dr. David Phelps and I discuss a collaboration we have between the Tempo Fund Management Group and the Freedom Founders mastermind.
I share my presentation about alternative deals and speculative deals. We hope to educate you on the pros and cons of investment grade deals and speculative opportunities. It is also important to work with a group like David’s Freedom Founders to weed out the bad deals and limit the risk in a deal. Of course, we want you to steer toward investment grade deals but there are good speculative deals and you need to know how to recognize the difference.
There is a lot of good information in this episode and David is a great presentation partner. So, please join us for this Big Mike Fund Podcast and Dentist Freedom Blueprint Podcast.
