Can you walk away from what no longer serves you? In this episode of the I Own It Podcast, we welcome Dean Rogers. He ended his career in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers to protect his health. Now, he’s thriving as a real estate expert and coach with an 8-figure (and counting) portfolio and created the Wholesaling Playbook in 2022. Dean encourages you not to be afraid to switch careers, learn something new, and own your power to create abundance. He built his empire while working a day job... making every second of free time count for self-improvement. Being an entrepreneur always has its ups and downs. And Dean has gone through all of it. But owning his mistakes and being open to mentorship has gotten him to the success he has today. Are you ready to do the same? Tune in as Dean Rogers shares about his wake-up call to make a change, the challenges in transitioning from one career to another, the similarities between sports and business, and how you too can tread the path to financial freedom.
