In this practical episode, Dustin and Adam explore the dichotomy of knowing when to pivot or stay the course with your investments, along with the critical importance of having multiple exit strategies in any investment – and when staying the course might be the better option.

Through personal experiences in both tech stocks and real estate, they demonstrate how proper exit planning can protect capital even when market conditions change dramatically. Whether you're investing in real estate or stocks, learn why entering any investment without an exit strategy can leave you vulnerable to market shifts.
