Daisy Chung spent 10 years in sales, most recently as Head of Revenue at a SaaS company, Orum.

At 33, she stepped away from the 9-5 job she loved after building enough cash flow from six real estate properties to cover her lifestyle.

In this episode, I sit down with Daisy to talk about what retirement actually means, how she built financial freedom through real estate in just 4 short years, and why the goal was never to stop working, but to gain control over her time.

We talk about how high earners can feel stuck despite making great money, how she accumulated 6 properties, moving from California to Las Vegas, and building cash flow without a master plan.

We also dive into identity, confidence, taking imperfect action, and how starting with even $100 a month in side income can change the way you see your future.

This conversation is about breaking out of the “well-paid but trapped” cycle, creating options for yourself, your family, and creating a life where money no longer dictates your decisions.
