Ep 25 - To celebrate the 25th episode of the Share The Wealth show, we sit down for a heart-to-heart talk with our host, Nicole Pendergrass. We get to know a little bit more about her as she reflects on the true meaning of balance and why we will never achieve success by being still and stagnant. By embracing the up and downs of life, we can set ourselves in motion, and build strength and confidence to face any challenges head-on. Nicole Pendergrass is a wife, mom of two toddlers, full-time employee, multifamily investor, and generational wealth advocate. She started her real estate journey with no money, no credit, no connections, and after a few unsuccessful ventures, got her footing with a 3 family house-hack. She grew that first property into ownership in multiple multifamily projects and is now on a mission to help others do the same. She founded Noirvest Holdings, a private equity REI firm, to help minorities, women and other overlooked individuals build wealth through increasing access to "privileged" multifamily investments. She is also the host of the Share The Wealth Show, a podcast dedicated to discussing untraditional strategies to build, grow and protect minority wealth. ________________________________ FREE Discovery call for The Microfamily Investing Accelerator https://calendly.com/noirvest/microfamilymavericks ________________________________

Key Quotes “Balance is about getting out of equilibrium. It is impossible to devote the same amount of attention at all times of the day, to all the different areas of your life. That's humanly impossible.” - Nicole Pendergrass “ it doesn't grow because you're keeping it in the one spot. Growth of finances and wealth building is all about deploying your money to a certain investment in a certain area and letting it come back to you with more.” - Nicole Pendergrass “You have to reframe those feelings in your body. Instead of anxiety that can stop you and slow you down, think of that as excitement.” - Nicole Pendergrass “Many people sleepwalking through life because it's easy. I need you guys to all get on your seesaws and be okay with the up and down, with the movement, with the back and forth.” - Nicole Pendergrass
