Summary

What if building wealth wasn’t just about numbers, but about knowing yourself, trusting your gut, and playing the long game with intention? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Tamar Hermes—wealth coach, real estate maven, and founder of Wealth Building Concierge—for a masterclass in intuitive investing. With a blend of grounded wisdom and sharp strategy, Tamar unpacks how she measures risk not by rigid formulas, but by asking one bold question: “How much can I lose without being destitute?” From there, she takes us on a journey through her investing mindset, why she breaks free from the traditional “net worth percentage” playbook, and how real estate became her favorite tool for building lasting, generational wealth.
