Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Josh (@thelifestylecrna) and Colin (@colinfrompdr) get brutally honest about what happens when investing doesn’t go as planned.Josh opens up about losing money in a real estate syndication — what drew him to the deal, how the numbers didn’t add up, and the hard lessons learned about trust, due diligence, and chasing “potential.” The two dig into the difference between guaranteed returns and “projected” ones, what it means to invest with people you actually know, and why most of the wealthiest people have taken big losses before finding success.They also touch on balancing family, business, and burnout — from late-night calls and hospital shifts to figuring out when enough is enough. It’s equal parts investing, parenting, and self-awareness — all wrapped in the usual mix of humor and honesty that makes The Lifestyle CRNA so relatable.🎧 Topics include:Why even “trusted” syndications can flopSpreading risk and reading between the projectionsPersonal guarantees vs. passive promisesBalancing family, freedom, and financial goalsThe importance of real relationships in investingBe sure to follow us on instagram hereSubscribe to our YouTube channel here Click the link, share your contact details, and we'll help you get started on your investment journey.
