The latest episode of The Freedom Chasers podcast features Nathan Brooks, the CEO of Bridge Turnkey Investments, discussing the importance of creating a vision for your life and how to make it happen. Nathan emphasizes that it is essential to have a plan and vision for your life and not just focus on making money. He encourages listeners to think about what they want, what they obsess about, and to dig deeper into it to help create the life they desire.

Nathan shares his own experiences in real estate investing and his passion for empowering others to think beyond just making money. He wants to create a generational wealth that will help his family live and give them a platform to pursue their interests. He also wants to serve other people, especially students, through education and the arts. Nathan advises against self-sabotage and negative thought patterns and encourages people to commit to their goals.

For those struggling to find something that drives them, Nathan suggests using a state change and a morning routine that includes journaling. He emphasizes the importance of being purposeful and mindful in everyday life, especially when it comes to using phones and technology. Nathan suggests simple steps, such as turning off social notifications, leaving phones in the car or pocket, and being accountable with friends.

The conversation also touches on removing ego when building a business and becoming more aware of ourselves in situations that challenge our ego. Nathan suggests using coaches, mentors, books, and education to challenge ourselves and become better people.

Nathan discusses a business partnership that went awry, resulting in a twelve-month lawsuit that cost him a significant amount of money. He emphasizes the importance of open communication and avoiding ego in business dealings. He also discusses the benefits of having challenging activities outside of work, such as martial arts training and golf, to develop resilience and the ability to handle difficult situations with a level head.

Nathan's book, "No B.S. Real Estate Investing - How I Quit My Job, Got Rich & Found Freedom Flipping Houses … And How You Can Too," takes readers through the entire process of building a successful real estate business, creating concepts for business, and talking through the challenges of entrepreneurship. Nathan believes that freedom means having the financial resources, time resources, and people team resources to do, create, build, experience, whatever one wants while maintaining a balance between experience, joy, love, connection, and people that matter.

If Nathan had a billion dollars, he said he would fund his philanthropy arm, which focuses on arts and education for kids, and build a business side, a family office, and a philanthropy side. For 2023, Nathan plans to coach a friend, Gary Harper, to impact businesses and people, add $10-15 million in multifamily assets and $3 million in Airbnb units.
