In this episode of Uncommon Wealth, John McDonough sits down with entrepreneur, real estate investor, educator, and author Chris Rood for a powerful conversation about wealth creation, wealth preservation, tax strategy, liquidity, and long-term financial freedom. Chris has spent more than a decade building businesses across real estate, wholesaling, fix-and-flips, mobile home parks, short-term rentals, investor education, and multiple service-based companies.
