Damion Lupo is a bestselling author in personal finance and money thinking, host of the Transformation Nation podcast, owner of 30+ companies, and founder of his own martial art – Yokido®. Damion outrightly rejects regret and speaks to it as the ultimate life failure. He has a unique approach to living a fulfilled life by breaking rules and making more mistakes, faster than the competition – his key to success. Playing by a different set of rules, he even bought his first rental house with a VISA, a move that snowballed into owning 150 rental houses in 7 states in less than 5 years. In 2008, he lost the entire $20 million but recreated his wealth and reinvented his life over 4 transformational years. Today he leads 3 global companies with one unified mission – to Free People from Money Bondage.
