    Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m joined by Jimmy Bassal of the Beverly Hills Art Exchange, and we’re unpacking a strategy most investors overlook: how fine art can be a real asset class that amplifies your wealth and hedges your portfolio while adding meaning to your life. Jimmy shares what it actually takes to move from collecting for passion to investing with precision, revealing how access, timing, and the right eye can translate into long-term returns that rival traditional real estate deals. We break down how to evaluate emerging artists, why “blue chip” art can be misunderstood, and what the ultra-wealthy are really doing with their art collections behind the scenes. If you’re looking for a fresh angle to build durable wealth while staying aligned with your personal taste, this episode will show you how art and business can intersect to elevate your wealth plan.

  • This One Real Estate Mistake Could Set You Back 10 Years

    This One Real Estate Mistake Could Set You Back 10 Years
    Apr 14 2025
    Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Isaias, a remarkable realtor with a background in finance, acting, and community advocacy, to unpack the real-world path to building wealth through real estate—without sacrificing the things that matter most. We challenge the widely held belief that financial freedom requires giving something vital up, and instead focus on how to align your goals with a strategy that supports both your life and your legacy. You’ll hear us explore one of the most overlooked concepts in real estate: the idea that ownership isn’t just about property—it’s about power. Power to choose, power to create, and power to live on your terms. We also get into the mechanics of wealth building that most people misunderstand, including the concept of "forced savings" through homeownership and how this simple shift in mindset can transform your financial trajectory. If you’ve been on the sidelines wondering whether now is the right time to buy or invest, this conversation offers a practical framework to evaluate your own situation—what to consider, what to avoid, and how to identify a deal that makes sense regardless of where the market stands. We also discuss how to navigate today’s interest rates, where the hidden opportunities are in both hot and emerging markets, and how to separate long-term wealth moves from short-term distractions. This episode is especially valuable for first-time buyers, aspiring investors, and anyone who wants to build sustainable wealth without betting the farm. Whether you're considering your first home or your next investment property, this discussion will give you fresh insight into what it really takes to make smart, strategic moves in any market.

  • Why Smart Investors Never Hold On to Property Too Long

    Why Smart Investors Never Hold On to Property Too Long
    Mar 31 2025
    Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In today’s episode, I sit down with Anthony Walker, CEO of Buckingham Investments, to unpack one of the most misunderstood yet powerful paths to building real wealth: investing in real estate with a clear, systematic plan. Whether you're brand new to the space or already have a few properties under your belt, this conversation will challenge what you think you know—and possibly change how you invest moving forward. We explore why so many people buy real estate without a real plan, and why even seasoned investors often focus too much on the deal and not enough on the long game. Anthony breaks down the actual math behind building wealth in real estate—numbers that most people ignore or misunderstand—and explains how small moves, made strategically over time, can compound into extraordinary outcomes. You’ll hear why return on equity—not just cash flow or appreciation—should be at the center of your decision-making, and how being “deleveraged” can quietly erode your returns even in a rising market. We also dig into the dangers of falling in love with your properties, and how holding too long can work against you if you’re not watching the right metrics. There are also some big takeaways about timing the market versus timing a deal, the true cost of waiting, and why leveraging your knowledge is more important than trying to find the so-called perfect time to invest. Anthony’s approach blends financial rigor with practical tools that everyday investors can use—no syndicates or secret formulas required. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by real estate or unsure whether it’s the right move, this episode will help bring clarity to your thinking and confidence to your strategy. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of what actually drives wealth—and what most people miss.
