What happens when you invest part-time for 21 years?? Our guest today, Scott Jacobson, shares how he fearlessly (or naively) scaled his portfolio into different and bigger asset classes over a 21-year span, while still working his full-time job as a CPA.

 I have known Scott for almost 30 years and I’ve always admired his work ethic and values. I don’t have the time or talent to seriously take on real estate investments on my own.
