About this episode

You guys have been BEGGING for a pervy look at the SOTM team’s money stories… and we finally have a volunteer. Brooke is not just responsible for our courses and video content, she is one of the best investors we know. So trust us, you’re going to want to take notes.

From her very first investment to a 6-figure portfolio that’s on track to let her retire at 35 (!!), Brooke has built it all from the ground up with no family handouts or a finance degree. Just smart choices, consistency, and simple strategy. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to become a confident, consistent, and ridiculously effective investor, this is your behind-the-scenes pass.

Here’s what’s inside:
📈 How she built a $100k+ portfolio by 27
📈 The exact investment mix powering her early retirement goal
📈 The low-effort habit that keeps her wealth growing in the background
📈 The investing mistakes she’s made (and what she learned from them)
📈 The small tweaks that supercharged her returns
📈 Why starting tiny might be the smartest investing move you ever make
