"The day you decide that it's going to be different, it will start being different. You have to decide. You have to decide to change you. The world isn't gonna change. You have to change."
What does it take to get back in championship shape at 69 years old? Del Walmsley found himself being questioned by amazed teenagers at the gym who couldn't believe his age or conditioning. But this isn't just a fitness story—it's a masterclass in the discipline principles that create success in every area of life, especially wealth building.
Del shares the pivotal moment when his professional bodybuilder daughter told her husband "you're not training, you're just going through the motions"—and how that observation revolutionized Del's approach to both fitness and finance. He reveals why knowing the right information is only 5% of success, while having the discipline to execute consistently is the other 95%. From building over 100 rental units to maintaining three beautiful koi ponds, Del proves that the same principles govern every area of excellence.

"I couldn't have timed the market more poorly on that first deal and couldn't have timed it more better on that second deal."
What does it take to build a 1,700-unit apartment portfolio starting straight out of high school? John Boriack proves it's possible with the right education, mentorship, and mindset. Del interviews one of Lifestyles Unlimited's most successful second-generation investors, who chose real estate education over traditional college and built an empire through seven major apartment syndications.
John shares the raw reality of starting during the 2008 financial crisis, when his first 50-unit property lost half its value within six months. Instead of quitting, he used this painful lesson to develop the cautious, strategic approach that's made him nearly untouchable in subsequent market downturns.
