Ep #179: Kandace Phelps – Risk Management

In this next section of this special four-part summer series edition of the Dentist Freedom Blueprint podcast, Kandace Phelps will be presenting at the Freedom Founders Mastermind. She has an impressive background in finance, business and investing and has some incredible insight to share with us regarding risk management. Kandace explains where a skeptical mindset comes in handy and how to see risk in a way that is rarely taught.

She discusses why they changed the strategy from simply teaching real estate to teaching more strategy and risk management. Kandace does a great job of separating the facts from the fiction when it comes to how real estate is understood and taught by most schools and financial advisors. She explains why this is not about black and white solutions but it is something that you can control and work with if you’re ready to challenge your thinking.
