Summary

Cal Ewing grew up in a cattle ranch in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  He pursued his dream of joining a rock band as a successful and professional electric guitar player, but it ended when he read his life-changing book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.  It shifted his focus, and so he decided to get a degree in Geology at the University of Calgary and eventually got a job in an oil and gas company in Texas.  The book also sparked his interest and passion in the real estate industry.  He got himself educated in real estate investing by reading lots of books and decided to go full time in the last three years. 

In this episode, Cal shares what made him pursue a real estate career and why he decided to invest in the United States market instead of in his hometown in Canada.  He’ll also reveal the strategies he made to achieve his formidable success and the services he offers in helping others grow their personal wealth through real estate.

And the more you go and the more you do, that snowball starts slowly rolling, and you build that momentum and coincidences happen and you meet the right people, and then you’re off.” – Cal Ewing
