In this episode, we’re sitting down with Jason Wojo, CEO and owner of Lifeonaire, to explore how real estate investors and entrepreneurs can build businesses that truly support the lifestyle they want—not enslave them. From earning a PhD to leaving science for flipping houses, Jason’s journey is anything but ordinary. He shares how he transitioned from rehabbing homes to coaching others on creating vision-driven businesses that don’t sacrifice life in the name of success.

 

You’ll hear Jason’s biggest mistakes, lessons from $90K in credit card debt, and why “grind culture” is not the path to freedom. Whether you’re just getting started or leveling up, this conversation will push you to rethink what wealth really means, how you spend your time, and how to build a business that supports—not sabotages—the life you actually want.
