Best selling author in personal finance and money thinking, host of the Transformation Nation Podcast, owner of 30+ companies and founder of his own martial art - Yokido ® Damion Lupo outrightly rejects regret and speaks to it as the ultimate life failure.

He has a unique approach to living a full-filled life by breaking rules and making more mistakes faster than his competition – his key to success. Playing by a different set of rules, he even bought his first rental house on credit card, a move that snowballed into owning 150 rental houses in 7 states in less than 5 years. In 2008 he lost the entire $20 million but recreated his wealth and reinvented his life over 4 transformational years. Today he leads 3 global companies with one unified mission - to Free 1 Million People from Money Bondage.

In our conversation, Damion openly shares his transformation journey and how he discovered a wealth beyond simply financial gain. We explore the keys to life success, how to overcome massive failure, build your confidence, and create true inner and outer wealth. Damion shares openly about his mission and the values he lives by, and we finish out our conversation discussing the future of money, including gold, silver, cryptocurrency and the importance of knowing your numbers as it relates to time, money and fulfilling your mission in life.
