Try Life On Media

Trylifeon.com

Financial Freedom & Lifestyle Design Coach, Host of the Try Life On Podcast, and Investor in television and media projects espousing the spirit of Try Life On.

1:1 coaching and consultations teaching countless professionals and entrepreneurs how to gain the freedom they crave in each facet of their lives and start living a life they won’t need a vacation from. How? By just taking action. By building relationships. By focusing on the 5 freedoms (time, financial, geographic, purpose, relationships). 

The fear of rocking the boat has forced too many people to get stuck in the planning stages of their lives, and miss all of the opportunities to actually live. Without that fear of the unknown or the insecurities of doing things differently, how much would your life change? Where would you live? Who would you be spending your time with? How will it feel to live a life purely built from your own values and ambitions? The only way to know is to try it on.

🎙️Try Life On Podcast Host 💵 Managing Partner, Quattro Capital 🌏 98 countries | Investor | Freedom Coach 📚 Used 9-5 jobs + passive income to beat the system

A little about me...

I'm an investor, entrepreneur, restaurant owner and explorer of 99 countries. I host the Try Life On Podcast, and coach professional 1:1 on wealth and freedom, helping you build lifestyle you don’t need vacation from.

In 2021 I retired from the 9-5 world after 25 years as Senior Executive at Accenture, a global consulting firm. Was also a Federal Agent through my US Air Force military service. I retired after 22 years as Lt. Colonel. And I became a midnight police officer later in life for the Montgomery County Police Department as a means to give back to local community. Yes, all at the same time.

Along with partners, founded Quattro Capital, a private equity firm. I’ve acquired roughly $250M in real estate with investor partners. I started buying real estate in my 20s as a means to capture time freedom to live more. 

I have strong passion for living life leveraging freedom principles (time, financial, location, purpose & relationships) and started Try Life On Media to help others do the same. The Try Life On podcast and speaking engagements are my joy. 

I love to say I used real estate, passive income, lifestyle design principles combined with leveraging my three 9-5 professional careers to beat the rat race and build lifestyle I don't need vacation from. I’ve completed that mission and now my passion is to help others do same.
