Joe Rockey is a successful entrepreneur who has built a number of businesses from scratch, including a real estate business that has flourished for over 11 years. In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast, Joe will be sharing some of the biggest challenges he faced when starting his company and how he overcame them.

Hear how Joe learned to navigate his two most prominent hurdles: financial juggling and time management. Joe shares with host Liam Leonard his framework for investing in house flipping when his outcome was real estate rentals and his insight into why it doesn’t matter what you’re selling as long as you know how to properly sell.

Understand the importance of knowing yourself and who you bring into your life, learn to generate passive income with minimal funds, and gain the right skill sets along the way, starting with today.


3 Key Takeaways

• If you know how to sell properly, it won’t matter what you’re selling. Joe breaks down how he connects with people successfully every time. 
• Get rid of the fear of failure mindset. If you try to sell something new and completely fail at it, you can move to something else. It’s more important to know that you gave it a shot. 
• Your surroundings have a direct effect on the way you respond to crises. Be intentional with the people and atmosphere you surround yourself with.

About Joe Rockey 

Joe went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and double majored in accounting and finance. The majors were chosen because they give intrinsic skills that are needed by all businesses–everyone needs to know where their money is and how to get more of it. Finance covered the part of how a company gets more money. However, the best way is through sales. Knowing that sales are the key to every business, Joe worked a variety of commission-only sales positions throughout his time at Duquesne.

Following graduation, Joe worked for three years as a personal financial advisor. In the first year, he was the office’s “rookie of the year.” In the second year, he was the “underclassman of the year,” and by year three, Joe left to create his first real estate business in 2011.

Since then, his businesses have created revenue from properties in a vast array of methods. Some of the more common ways his company creates revenue are by performing land lording services, selling investment grade properties to other investors, and renovating for sale properties.

Outside of his professional world, Joe is a married man with a newly-born son. In 2017, along with Father Boniface Hicks, they created the podcast Father and Joe. The goal of their podcast is to bring individuals closer to God. Joe is also an avid axe thrower–in 2019, he finished 192nd in the International Axe Throwing Federation Championship in Toronto.

Joey Mure is a wealth coach with a passion for helping people achieve financial freedom. He has over 11 years of experience in the mortgage industry, and he knows firsthand the importance of making smart money decisions. 

Today, Joey shares with host Liam Leonard the story of his daughter begging him to take her to school and the impact that left on his perception of why he goes to work. Little moments like these acted as the catalyst for Joey’s transition out of  the corporate world to start Wealth Without Wall Street, a company that helps people invest in passive income streams. 

Reassess what is really going to give you financial freedom–and more importantly, time freedom–on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective. Hear Joey’s insights into each investor’s unique DNA that brings a fresh paradigm to their assessment of passive income opportunities. Understand what type of passive income streams will be the best fit for you based on your personality and strengths through their available quiz, and get Joey’s first-hand advice to investors beginning their passive income journey, unsure where to start. 

3 Key Takeaways

• Specific investments can either increase your freedom OR slow it down. Be careful to choose an opportunity that fits well with your personality (or investor DNA). 
• Every investor brings a unique DNA that shapes how they view opportunities. Learn yours and make better investments for you, personally.
• There are two major ways you can begin your passive income journey, depending on whether you want to be more actively involved or don’t have the time for that. Joey explains them on the episode today.

About Joey Mure

Nicknamed the “Italian Stallion,” Joey connects the right solution to the right opportunities. When people say “I know a guy”--most of them are referring to Joey Mure. He has a bigger rolodex and even bigger heart, and if that was not enough, he is obsessed with passive income and cash flow, most recently turning a short-term rental business into a mini-empire (without operating it).

Host Liam Leonard sits down with guest Tyler Robertson, CEO and founder of a company that made over $75 million in revenue last year. Tyler started his company from his garage with just $1,000, and today it employs over 230 people. In this episode, Tyler shares his perspective on how he's grown his company and what his strategic framework is for reinvesting profits back into the business. He'll also recall his journey as an entrepreneur and how his goals have changed over time.

Tyler attributes his financial success to a vital mindset and invites entrepreneurs to adopt the same: always look to help people solve problems and the money will follow. He shares what he wished he would have learned much earlier as a shoot-from-the-hip entrepreneur, and it all starts with a question: “What’s the plan?”

Get the most important lessons Tyler learned the hard way about planning and running a company, particularly why you need a clear goal from square one and how letting go of control gets you out of your own way on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast.

3 Key Takeaways

• It is possible to achieve financial security, independence, and flexibility later in life.
• It is important to have a clear why in order to make tough decisions about how to allocate resources.

3 Key Takeaways

• How Tracey changed her life by deviating from her financial blueprint: the spending narrative you grow up with in your home (and how you can, too). 
• Always diversify your assets with different investments including real estate, stocks, and mutual funds. Don't put all your eggs in one basket by relying on just your business for income and retirement.

Malcolm Bell is a jack of all trades with a wealth of experience in business, marketing, and real estate. He's also a self-proclaimed socialite and adrenaline junkie, who has made it a point to learn and grow his social skills. A big part of his success has been his ability to connect with people and build relationships. He's here on The Prosperity Perspective to share his insights and expertise on how you can do the same.

Malcolm explains how he began as an awkward conversationalist who relied on the fact that he made a good amount of money to enter new circles. He shares how he recognized the need to build his social skills and improve his enjoyment in life by creating strong relationships. 

He'll describe his system for meeting new people and expanding your social circle, which has also had the added benefits of improved mental and physical health. The key: focus on being authentic and genuine when building relationships with others. This means being yourself and not trying to be someone that you are not and to listen to what they have to say. Join Malcolm and host Liam Leonard in this discussion and create a strong support system that you can rely on.

3 Key Takeaways

• Start small and connect with the kind of people who know other good people. You don’t have to improve your socialization skills with a big party. 
• Take yourself less seriously. We’re all chasing something–relax, and find the people you can bless and be blessed by. 
• It doesn’t matter if you feel like the impostor: focus on AUTHENTICITY and building genuine relationships.

About Malcolm Bell 

“I'm a social circle and networking coach, but what I have achieved with social connection and networking is priceless.”

Malcolm Bell started off his career in marketing with Ford Motor Company and Porsche. He quickly realized that it wasn't “what you know,” but “ who you know” that would determine his success. This led him on a journey to becoming a social expert. He has since developed a system for building relationships and social circles. In this system, he identifies the "Fickle 500" in each city - the culture creators who hold the keys to the most exclusive social activities. He has used this system to build an amazing social circle in Russia in just eight months.
