142: How to Lose Money by Mismanaging Your 401k with Mike Kirby

Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas January 7, 2019 Duration: 32:29
Mike was laid off after almost 34 years from the high-tech industry at the age of 55. Instead of grieving, he took his 401k and turned it into a "self-directed IRA LLC" and then turned that LLC into a multi-million dollar company in less than 2 years. Now Mike gets to do anything he wants.

Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
