Financial Preparedness - Is Your Financial House In Order?
Being a father who was responsible for their family's financial decisions is a task that we were never trained on. Many brilliant men are doing so many brilliant things, yet many of them can't say that their family's most important financial information would be easily found if something happened. Many of them don't even have a written will. The sad truth is that your family will have to deal with the financial stuff. Wouldn't it be better to remove the stress of not being prepared financially for you and your family? That's what we're going to learn now and this is not an episode you want to miss. You're going to think about things you haven't thought about before. It's my pleasure to welcome Jay Gabrani to the show. Jay is a successful real estate investor and the Founder of Prepared Fathers.

The day before my 25th, I went and did all the exams, got my designation and became a professional accountant. The day before my 25th birthday, I left the world of accounting. Let's say in the twenty-plus years since I've been on my own when it comes to entrepreneurial ventures and real estate investing. I'm a single father of three kids and I enjoy what I do and look to impact fathers who want to secure their family's financial future.

Jay, you were talking about a tragedy that happened. I know it's part of your story so you're willing to share it. Why don't you tell us what happened? I call that a defining moment. It changes the course of your life and changes the trajectory of what you do and how you look at everything. Tell us what happened and then tell us why you ultimately took a four-year sabbati...
