On today’s podcast I had Chris Naghibi on. Chris is a man of many different talents. He has a real estate portfolio of over $50 million! He’s also a lawyer who does pro bono work. The biggest thing he’s doing currently is being apart of a bank doing over $10 billion worth of investments last year! He helped start it, made it public, and is continuing to help grow that business. In this podcast, we talked about a lot of different things going on in the economy, especially as it relates to banks. As a guy who has had mixed feelings about banks over the years, I got to ask him what exactly goes on behind the scenes with banks, why they have a negative stigma, what happens when I deposit money, how to they make loans, and where they get their money. It was really interesting to listen to! Along with that, I get his perspective on going public. He ended up taking his bank public about 7 years ago, and he provided me with good insight as I could potentially take a company public one day. He also goes over the do’s and don’ts, and why it may not make sense for most people to go public. Towards the end of the podcast is my favorite part. We starting getting into some conspiracy theory! There are some interesting things happening in the economy…We’ve got a war going on, a lot of money printing, and we discuss if interest rates will go up and really what’s happening in the media. I think you should watch all the way to the end and see why it’s one of my favorite episodes we’ve done! Follow Chris on social media! Instagram - @chrisnaghibiJoin the Wealthy Way today and get access to my free course, planner, and discord community! https://wealthyway.com______________________________________________________Here's how my businesses can help you:For a free consultation with my team go to https://RyanPineda.comWant to be coached by me on real estate investing?

Chris used basketball as an outlet and actually wanted to pursue it as his career. He knew that his basketball wouldn’t bring his as much monetary success as other paths would do, so he pursued business instead. Chris went to law school, but didn’t enjoy it. He was working in real estate already and loved that. Eventually, he had an opportunity to help start a bank. He started at a low position but has risen to Executive Vice President Chief Credit Officer! He took and passed the bar exam in order to open up his own law firm that focuses mostly on pro bono work. Chris and I talk about NFT’s, crypto, and how banks, real estate, and other entities should be adapting. We also dive deep into conspiracy theories regarding the media and media censorship as well as other conspiracies regarding to current events regarding the economy.
