Summary
In this episode, Anthony sits down with Rod Khleif to unpack his journey of building massive wealth in commercial real estate, losing over $50 million during the 2008 crash, and the mindset that allowed him to come back stronger. Rod breaks down the principles that drive long-term success — goal setting, taking decisive action, overcoming fear, focus, gratitude, and surrounding yourself with the right people. Together, they explore what it really takes to achieve financial freedom, why most people stay stuck, and how anyone willing to do the work can design a life of purpose, abundance, and impact.
