The Academy Presents podcast


Nov 29, 2021

In this episode, I welcome Suzy Sevier and Michael Barnhart! Suzy and Michael are the Founders of Adventurous Real Estate Investors. Their adventure began at a TEDx event — the theme was Reset — and it changed their lives. They took the event to heart and used that theme as a launching point to regain control of their lives, secure financial freedom, give back to the community, and discover their “why.” They want to share this journey with others by helping others check off their bucket list items and achieve the greatest ROI, Return on Impact.

 

Hop right in on this episode and find out what Return on Impact (ROI) really means. Suzy and Michael will talk about their journey as real estate investors from overseas. They will share what it’s like to invest across borders and why it’s important to build trust with your team and your boots on the ground. Suzy and Michael will also talk about Return on Impact and how making a small impact every day can create a ripple effect that can, later on, change the lives of people inside and outside of your community. Listen in!

Tweetable Quotes:

 

“If you think about it, there are almost 8 billion people on this earth, right? If everybody or not even everybody, half of us did a 1% positive impact every day, think about how astronomical that could be. And that's all it takes. You don't even need to do 1%. You can do half a percent, and that's still huge. It's just doing that little bit every day to make yourself better.” - Suzy Sevier

 

“I know I cannot take care of the whole entire world, but I would like to start to create a mindset where we are encouraging everybody to thrive instead of just always being in survival mode because so many of us are in it.” - Suzy Sevier
