John's Story | From $250,000 in Debt to Financial Freedom

Written By Anne Pena

In this episode of MONEYO2, I’m joined by John Soforic, author of The Wealthy Gardener. John wrote this insightful parable as a guide for his son entering adulthood, sharing a unique and philosophical approach to achieving financial freedom.

John’s journey is inspiring — from being over $250,000 in debt with young children, to earning over $200,000 annually in passive income through real estate, and ultimately reaching full financial independence. Beyond money, John offers profound wisdom on creating a purposeful and fulfilling life.

This longer interview is packed with lessons on financial freedom and living with intention, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to build wealth while finding meaning.
