In this episode, I break down the exact four-part strategy I’ve used for over 25 years to help people generate real passive income that you can rely on, grow with, and actually outlive. I call it the Golden Stool, and it’s built on four simple legs: Business Development Companies (BDCs), long-term dividend stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and master limited partnerships (MLPs).
I walk you through each one, show you why wealthy investors have relied on these for decades, and give you specific examples so you can understand how they work—whether you’re starting with $100 or $1 million. No tenants, no toilets, no side hustles. Just steady, inflation-adjusted income that shows up while you sleep.
If you’ve ever wondered how to replace your paycheck, retire with confidence, or finally build a passive income stream that doesn’t require nonstop work, this episode is for you. Let’s build your Golden Stool together.
