Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I am your host Marco Santarelli. We have an interesting interview today. So, you know, as an investor, I think a lot of people are very much left brain, they're analytical, they're looking at facts, data, and numbers and whatnot. But we don't necessarily stop to think about, I'll call it mindset, but that's an oversimplification. But really just how do you create the life you really want? And what is involved with that? How do we think about money? What's our relationship with money? What are the habits that come out of that? Do we have a story? I think we all have a story related to money, but what is that story? Did you write your own story or did someone write your story for you? And what are you doing to sabotage yourself if that story is not the right story for you?

And does it lead to procrastination or making the wrong decisions, decisions that are too emotional and not logical, rational? There's just a lot around it. And that is really where I wanted to bring on my guest today, who is an author and speaker on the topic about designing the life that you want and making sure that you have the right story in your mind and you create the right pathway for you to achieve the goals that you want to achieve. Her name is Leisa Peterson and I had a great conversation with her. We spoke offline and she's actually presenting at the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference that I am doing an opening keynote to. It's known as REWBCON for short. And I think there's the, a link on our website and in the show notes the event is REWBCON 2023 or REWBCON2023.com.

I'm not sure, but just check the show notes and you'll find that link there. But she's actually one of the speakers and presenters as well. And so she has a book out, it's called The Mindful Millionaire, very interesting book. And I thought, well, you know what? I should bring her on the show and interview her and talk about these things that I think are a little bit, don't wanna say Woo, they're certainly not woo, but a little bit more of the intangibles that go from intention, feelings, opportunity, the stories that we tell ourselves and the stories we create about money that we live by permission, the permission we give ourselves the evidence around that. And, and ultimately, how do you reinvent your life? How do you create the life that you really want to live? And so that was our conversation. I tried to keep it short, but it went for about 45 minutes, maybe 50, but there's a lot of good content there.

And her book is chock full of more information about the stuff that we talk about today. So without further ado, let me bring on my guest, Leisa here, and I hope you enjoyed today's show. And thank you for listening.

Yes. Yes, that's it.
