Ep19: John Cavendish – On the trails of a different Empire!
Today, we interview John Cavendish, another 80/20 Investor. Compared to Stefan Klumpp he seems to have a more controlled and systematic approach to investing. In his own words: “cold and calculating!”
He is extremely risk-averse, yet he takes concentrated bets if he feels the odds are in his favor. Through this approach, he has created a cash flow platform that generates a 7 figure in sales. He is on a trajectory path that will see him create multiple business cash flows that in turn will finance his real estate projects. Most likely he will join other Brits in Monaco and the South of France, who have either vacation homes or several real estate properties living the good life. But contrary to prior generations, he is already living the good life with a unique lifestyle set up. Listen to his story!
