Damion Lupo turned a rental house purchased on a VISA card into 150 houses in 7 states in less than 5 years. Then he watched a $20,000,000 portfolio implode. After that “failure,” he bounced back and rebuilt his wealth in 24 months. That failure was the foundation to his freedom. He is the host of the Transformation Nation podcast, owner of 37 companies over 25 years and founder of his own martial art called Yokido™. Today, he shares his approach to recover from a negative situation and how to create success.
