Most people are investing in the wrong order.

Rich sits down with Kamron Dasani to break down the difference between wealth preservation and wealth acceleration — and why traditional vehicles like 401(k)s and passive index investing rarely create real financial freedom.

Kamron explains how swing trading options works, why most day traders fail, and how strategic predictions on blue-chip stocks can create asymmetric upside when managed correctly. The conversation dives into leverage, risk management, credit strategy, and why playing offense in your 20s, 30s, and 40s matters more than “playing it safe.”

They also unpack retirement myths, active vs. passive income, and why consistent wins beat chasing home runs.

The boutique hotel game isn’t hard—but it is misunderstood.

Rich breaks down exactly why boutique hotels have become one of the most compelling real estate plays right now, especially for investors coming from the Airbnb world. Drawing from firsthand experience owning and operating multiple boutique hotels, he walks through the structural advantages most people overlook—from commercial zoning and regulatory protection to operational scale under one roof.

Rich shares real numbers, real examples, and how small operational changes can translate into millions in added asset value.

The conversation also explores why aging ownership, outdated operations, and the largest wealth transfer in history are creating a rare buying window—and why boutique hotels may be the natural next step for serious Airbnb operators looking to scale without multiplying headaches.

This is a practical, operator-level breakdown of how boutique hotels actually work, how value is created, and why this asset class may be one of the most overlooked opportunities in hospitality today.
