Instead, she emerged stronger and wiser, and eventually she achieved a massively positive transformation at the spry and youthful age of fifty-two!

#148 – BONUS Lawrence Dunning on “The Good Wolf Project”

Today I will be sharing a conversation that I had with my friend Jerry Scarlato  on his podcast “The Good Wolf Project” ----- Today’s conversation is with Lawrence Dunning, a self-made millionaire before the age of thirty. Realizing he had a very small window to pursue his love of the combat sports, Lawrence gave away his trading company and took a lengthy sabbatical. From his love of amateur boxing, after winning the Chicago Golden Gloves, he spent the next five years as a professional MMA fighter, and a jiu-jitsu competitor, earning his black belt in 2016. At 35 years old, after being immersed in his athletic pursuits, and making every financial mistake there was, he saw his net worth evaporate. Lawrence then turned his focus on his professional reinvention in the real estate world. He is the founder of “The Dunning Team”, a real estate group based in Chicago, specializing in ground up developments and building investment portfolios for his clients. Today, Lawrence continues to teach, train and compete in jiujitsu. He just completed his goal of being the first jiujitsu black belt to have run a marathon on all 7 continents (including Antartica).   He hosts “Enter the Lionheart”, his podcast about excellence amongst entrepreneur, athletes and intellectuals. And recently published his book "The Forgotten Asset Class" on low risk, high reward,. Real Estate Investing. However, his best accomplishment yet, is raising his young son Victor and enjoying family life with his two dogs and adoring wife Jen. Here’s what we talk about…   • How to look at life through the lens of risk/reward… • How you’re currently sacrificing your health by valuing gluttony… • Why Lawrence gave away his multi-million dollar company at age 30… • The 3 types of mentors you should have in your life… Podcast Website: https://enterthelionheart.com/ Check out the latest episode here: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enter-the-lionheart/id1554904704 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tD7VvMUvnOgChoNYShbcI
