Summary
Financial insecurity affects more than just your bank account, it influences stress, health decisions, and the freedom to live life on your own terms.
In this episode, Ted sits down with land investing expert Mark Podolsky to discuss a little-known approach to building passive income through raw land. Mark explains how land investors buy undervalued property, sell it with owner financing, and generate recurring cash flow without the typical headaches of traditional real estate.
Along the way, they explore the mindset shifts required to build wealth, the parallels between financial discipline and physical health, and why creating financial freedom can unlock more time, purpose, and control over your life. Listen now to learn how this unconventional strategy works.

| 0:09.0 | I'm going to be in a lot of pain. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm going to get doms. |
| 0:13.0 | I don't have the habit, number one. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm not in shape, so it's going to be really hard while I'm doing it. |
| 0:19.0 | So I have to embrace the suck. At some point, |
| 0:22.0 | it might be 30, 60, 90 days later. I'll start seeing some improvement. But it's not going to be the |
| 0:27.9 | first week. It's not going to be the first two weeks. It's going to suck. And it's the same thing |
| 0:33.2 | with starting any new endeavor and the land business is no different. It is going to suck. |
| 0:39.8 | You are going to be uncomfortable learning something new, especially as an adult, because you think, |
| 0:46.3 | well, if I'm good at this, I should be good at this. Why do you think that? Before we start, |
| 0:52.2 | I want to tell you this. If you're waiting for your life to slow down before you |
| 0:56.4 | take control of your health and your body, it's not happening. Life doesn't slow down. There's always |
| 1:04.1 | going to be another deal, another deadline, another trip, another fire to put out, another reason to put |
| 1:10.7 | it off. So either 2026 is the year you |
| 1:14.5 | finally lead yourself, the way you lead your business, or it's just another year of excuses. |
| 1:21.5 | And if you're done negotiating with yourself, go to lean after 40.com and see if you qualify. Your business doesn't |
| 1:31.2 | tolerate inconsistency and your body shouldn't either. If you're over 40, the best time to get in |
| 1:37.6 | shape was decades ago. There's only now. Take action. Now let's get back to the show. Welcome to the legendary life |
| 1:47.5 | podcast, where it's all about taking control of your health, losing fat, transforming your body, |
