Hello, this is me!

My name is Fred, just a regular person like you.

I am a degreed engineer, a teacher, an entrepreneur, and soon-to -be Author, YouTuber, Podcaster and mentor.

I'm interested interested in various things, such as where people get their wealth, what makes people healthy (mentally and physically), and how to achieve goals in a fun, satisfying, and proud way. All of this using a proven framework in an ethical and honest way.

All while achieving this together, we also want to improve ourselves and the world and leave it in a better state than when we started! Sound good? Awesome!

My Wealth Story

All my life, I have always seen other people who are wealthy and asked, "How Did They Get Their Money?"

Of course, there are the minority of rich people such as athletes, entertainers and lottery winners, but that makes up less than 1% of the wealthy people on the planet. How did the neighbor down the street afford his BMW and all those fancy vacations?

This question has haunted me all my life and has set me on a journey to discover the answer. I have been gathering the information for decades. Now, I want to uncover the "secret methods" (which are actually out in the open but very few people can realize this themselves). Then I want to make other people wealthy by teaching them how to apply these methods. That will be more satisfying to me than accumulating my own wealth!

So, the obvious way to put it all together, was in the form of a book. After I started out as an engineer for 3 years in my twenties, then went on to be a financial math teacher for 29 years, I am on to my 3rd career, as an author. But not just any author, I want to help people use my framework that I have outlined in the book to become wealthy themselves. I put it in the form of a plan that can be followed at any age. I figured "being a millionaire" was an objective which would be easy to understand and that most people would agree, is a solid wealth goal to pursue.

Did I achieve my millionaire status by applying the principles that I teach others? Well, without giving away too much, the short answer is "yes", but I did make mistakes along the way, so hopefully, you'll get there sooner than I did (that is my wish for you).

You must be wondering why the platform which I have created is called "BarStool Millionaire" (and why I created a book of the same title)? Well, it's not because I came up with any ideas at a bar one night, it's because building a barstool is a great, simple comparison method to building a wealth framework. You need 4 sturdy legs to make your barstool level and strong, and if you only have 3 sturdy barstool legs, it will always fell like you're on rocky ground.

So, the "BarStool Millionaire" book is the centerpiece for which the platform is built around. I hope all the other components (newsletters, podcasts, blogs, courses) will give you the tools you need to assemble and build your own wealth barstool and become a "BarStool Millionaire" too!
