What if instead of buying more stocks or another rental, you could earn passive income from a machine that mines Bitcoin while you sleep? In this episode, Steven Arita chats with Beau Turner, founder of Abundant Mines, about how he went from real estate investing to running a full-time Bitcoin mining business after learning some hard and expensive lessons. Beau breaks down what Bitcoin mining really is, how it’s different from just buying Bitcoin, and how it can generate cash flow and tax savings. They discuss who this is a good fit for, how much you might need to start, and why more investors, including those close to retirement, are paying attention. If you're curious about how this all works and what the numbers look like, this episode will provide a clear and honest picture.
Beau Turner is the founder of Abundant Mines, a Bitcoin mining strategist, real estate entrepreneur, and tech-driven investor. With a background in engineering management and information systems from SMU, Beau started his career in real estate, building a portfolio focused on passive income through creative financing. After discovering Bitcoin in college and revisiting it years later, he transitioned fully into the world of Bitcoin mining. Today, Beau helps investors set up and manage their own mining machines to generate passive Bitcoin income with strong tax advantages. Through Abundant Mines, he’s built a hands-on, education-first approach to make Bitcoin mining accessible, efficient, and profitable for everyday investors.
