Diversification Makes You Rich. It Won't Make You Wealthy. | Brett Tanner + Katelyn Mitchell
Brett and Katelyn are recording live from Apple Mountain Resort in Georgia, two weeks after their family office closed on the 285-acre property. Before they get into their ten-things series, Brett lays out the argument that most agents and investors build portfolios the wrong way: lots of small bets feel safe, but they'll cap your wealth and bury you in management units. The episode covers five of ten things the wealthy gladly overspend on, and the real estate investor lens runs all the way through it. Brett's 130-unit portfolio versus Apple Mountain's one management unit makes the point better than any spreadsheet. Part two drops next week with the remaining five.

ABOUT THE CONVERSATION
Brett and Katelyn recorded this one on-site at Apple Mountain Resort, the 285-acre golf and residential property their family office acquired two weeks prior. Brett makes the case that diversification is a path to getting rich, not wealthy, and that concentrated bets, executed well, produce the compounding that actually builds wealth. From there they cover the first five of ten things the wealthy actually overspend on: time, health and longevity, learning and skills, kids education and exposure, and trusted advisors. Part two drops the following week.
