Most people dream of quitting their 9-to-5, but they're afraid to do it. However, this guy actually did. From long hours as a civil engineer to achieving financial freedom through real estate and infinite banking, his journey demonstrates how anyone can climb the “wealth elevator” step by step.

Lane reveals how he transitioned from collecting paychecks to collecting passive income streams, starting with a single rental property and scaling to over 11 before shifting into syndications. 


He shares his take on the power of infinite banking and what it takes to move from employee to investor. Listeners will also learn how to avoid common real estate mistakes, leverage accredited investor networks, and create long-term financial security.


Tune in for a real-world roadmap to freedom and discover how to make your money work harder than you do.


Top three things you will learn: 

-How to transition from a full-time career to financial independence

-Why infinite banking and real estate are powerful wealth-building tools
