Summary

🔥 Episode Summary

In this episode, we’re joined by Cory and Ryan—two friends, first-generation millionaires, and the duo behind the Wealth Juice podcast. With net worths of $1.0M and $1.2M respectively, they pull back the curtain on how they built wealth the slow and steady way—without flashy investments, inheritance, or lucky breaks.

Cory and Ryan walk us through their early financial habits, how their friendship helped hold each other accountable, and how they’ve managed to blend entrepreneurship, side hustles, and smart investing into a sustainable wealth-building strategy. Whether it’s real estate, index funds, or knowing when not to spend, these two keep it real, relatable, and refreshingly fun.

If you’ve ever wondered what two regular guys with seven-figure net worths actually talk about when the mics are off… this is that conversation.

🧠 Key Takeaways

First-Gen Millionaires: Both Cory and Ryan hit the $1M+ net worth milestone without a trust fund, family business, or viral startup. It was all strategy, grit, and accountability.
Accountability Through Friendship: Sharing goals, challenges, and money conversations between friends helped them stay disciplined and motivated.
Real Estate Reality Check: They talk candidly about their experiences with rental properties—the wins and the headaches.
Business + Investing: Their portfolios are a mix of entrepreneurial ventures, traditional stock market investing (index funds/ETFs), and some alternative assets.
Celebrate Small Wins: Progress wasn’t always glamorous, but they emphasize tracking the little wins that built big momentum.
The Power of Personal Finance Content: Launching Wealth Juice has helped them not only educate others but clarify their own philosophies around money and mindset.
Lifestyle Over Ego: Instead of chasing the flash, they focus on flexibility, freedom, and designing lives they actually want.

🗣️ Quotes & Soundbites
