"I'm not bold. I'm scared of everything." Meet Jenny Frederick. She’s not your typical "alpha" real estate mogul. She’s a small business owner who built a 7-door rental portfolio through panic attacks, tree-fall disasters, and zero "investor jargon."
In this episode, Will sits down with his sister Jenny to pull back the curtain on the "Peace and Security" path to wealth. If you've ever felt like you aren't "investor-ish" enough to get started, this conversation is for you.

The "Mommy Loan": How Jenny used family creativity to fund her first deal.
Investing for Cowards: Why being risk-averse can actually make you a better investor.
