SmartRIA founder Mac Bartine joined the Wealth Preservation Podcast and shared his experience as a serial entrepreneur who tried to do way too much, on his own, for way too long. His drive to solve problems and think creatively made him highly motivated as an entrepreneur, but it took a decade of side hustles before all of his experience came together to create a strong, healthy, and rapidly growing business. In this episode, we explore Mac’s past: growing up with a nuclear physicist and professional musician as parents, his college experience, and his first few startups.  Mac admits that he has probably made every mistake he could when it comes to startups, but one thing Mac never did was give up on his curiosity for solving unique problems. This is what ultimately led him to start SmartRIA, a compliance software and service, despite not having a background in financial services or compliance. For Mac, it is always about the identifiable problem and solving it in creative ways. We also go into Mac’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and warnings to not make the same mistakes he made. 

We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE when someone realizes how their unique skill set can be applied in multiple industries and how it unlocked their true potential.
