Now what?

That's the question Tim and Mark keep circling in this one. They talk about the framework of building wealth, and more importantly, what comes after you've built it. Because making money and knowing what to do with it are two very different things, and most people never stop to figure out the second one. It's an honest conversation about what actually matters once the money is handled, and how to build a life that fits what you really want instead of what you were told to chase.

They talk about using tech hard during business hours and shutting it off after, about being the director of your own day instead of letting it run you, and about the conversation every parent needs to have before a screen starts raising their kids. There's also the reset that comes from getting outside, and why you almost certainly have more time than you think.

It doesn't. But Tim and Mark argue you don't actually want it to. This episode's about the voice that whispers "today could be the day," and why it might be the exact thing keeping you sharp.

They get into the side of wealth nobody posts about, the anxiety that shows up right next to the success. Along the way they talk about Jim Rohn's idea of being both ambitious and content, why sitting on a beach is a trap, and the real moves (building a financial moat, keeping a reserve, thinking in decades) that actually let you sleep at night.

Tim and Mark think you've probably got too much of it, you're just doom-scrolling a good chunk of it away.

This week they crack open their actual calendars. The pre-5am wake-ups, the push-ups before they've even brushed their teeth, a day that looks nothing like the yacht-and-champagne fantasy running in your head. No guru nonsense, no highlight reel. Just two guys who've made real money walking through where the hours actually go and why they stopped chasing "work-life balance."

Worth a watch before you map out your next week. You might rethink how you're spending yours.

In this episode of I'm Rich. Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans DM break down the daily routines and time-management habits behind building real wealth — morning routines, calendar discipline, why work-life balance is a myth, and how self-made entrepreneurs actually spend their day.

Most people never realize they need a completely different mindset once the money actually shows up.

In this episode, Tim and Mark dig into the wealth psychology and money mindset shifts that separate people who make a pile of cash once from people who keep it and grow it for decades. This is the kind of stuff you don't learn from a finance course, only from watching it play out in real deals, real markets, and real mistakes.

They cover risk versus luck, how to build financial cushion before a downturn instead of during one, why comparing yourself to other people's wealth quietly wrecks your happiness, and what it actually takes to stay financially unbreakable once you've made it.

If you're a business owner, real estate investor, or first-generation millionaire trying to figure out what comes after the money, this is the mindset shift conversation you need.

(Quick heads up: Tim and Mark call this episode 20 in the recording, but a couple of time-sensitive market updates got bumped ahead of it — so technically you're watching episode 22. Close enough, right?)

Tim and Mark break down the 7 people you need on the business side of your life: the ones keeping your books tight, your taxes low, your assets protected, and your deals moving.

Last week was the personal side. This week Tim and Mark get into the seven people you need running your business — the ones who keep money from slipping through the cracks, protect what you've built, and open doors you didn't even know existed.

This is the stuff that separates a real business from a job disguised as one. If the people you're taking advice from don't have these people on their team, that's your answer right there.

In this episode:

  • Controller vs. CFO — why you need financial oversight that goes way beyond what's in the bank account (and how Mark's controller tracked down a $29,000 check he'd completely forgotten about)
  • The case for an in-house attorney: Tim's lawyer found a single word in a Fannie Mae loan doc and knocked $1.8 million off a prepayment penalty — more than 12 years of salary in one deal
  • Tax advisors vs. CPAs — why your CPA is technically working for the government, not you, and what it actually costs you not to have a real tax strategist in your corner
  • Insurance: the story of Tim's apartment building that burned to the ground and a policy that capped out at $10,000 when it should have paid out $3 million
  • Private banker — the most underrated relationship on this list and why Mark and Tim both swear by it
  • Social media, marketing, and PR: why Tim closed a $500K investment from someone he'd never spoken to, just because they'd been watching him online for eight years
  • Real estate connections — how Tim's mortgage guy helped him turn a $30M exit into a potential $38M one with a single phone call

This episode is part one of a two-parter — next week they're covering the business side.

In this episode:

- Why an executive assistant is the single most important hire

- The case for a private doctor on retainer

- Travel connections: the one relationship that matters most when you get that call and you need to be somewhere in four hours

- What a fiduciary actually does and why you need one before you think you need one (shoutout to @garrettbgunderson, @jim.dew_, and @jeffsocha — guys who have them and can point you in the right direction)

- Personal trainers and nutrition coaches — including Tim's buddy @gunnarmade, who keeps the Bratz household moving

- Spiritual guidance as a personal and marriage resource, and why Mark thinks you don't have to be in an organized religion to benefit from it

- Charitable connections: how to find the grassroots organizations actually doing the work (not the ones spending 98% of donations on marketing)

Mark and Tim want you to stop doing that.

This episode landed on Mark's 30th year as an entrepreneur, and instead of a victory lap, he turned it into a question worth sitting with: how many more real shots do you have left? Not at the million-dollar thing. At the hundred million dollar thing. At the dream trip. At the letter you keep meaning to write. At the phone call you've been putting off for three years. Tim opens up about pulling the trigger on a year of international travel with his family, and Mark gets into the daily habit of sending messages, letters, and videos that most people say they'll do someday — and never do.

It's mindset, conversations, and who you're in the room with. Tim and Mark break down the real reasons wealth compounds for some people and stagnates for others. If you've ever looked around and wondered why nothing's changing, this one's for you.

In this episode:

  • Why the conversations you're having are the clearest signal of where you're headed financially
  • How borrowed belief works — and why proximity to the right people is the fastest shortcut
  • The failure mindset shift Tim started using with his kids (and why most parents never do this)
  • Why taking extreme ownership is the entry point to any real success

But if all of that disappeared tomorrow, who would you be?

Mark Evans DM and Tim Bratz get into one of the most overlooked traps successful entrepreneurs fall into: wrapping your entire identity around what you DO instead of who you ARE. Tim opens up about pivoting away from being "the multifamily guy" after 20 years, winding down his coaching program, and the cognitive dissonance that comes with reinventing yourself at a high level. Mark shares why the people calling you a flip-flopper are the ones stuck — and why evolving your identity isn't weakness, it's the whole game.

But there's a flip side too: you have to intentionally become the person you're trying to be. The mindset, the identity, the self-concept...it has to come before the bank account catches up.

This one will hit different if you're in the middle of a pivot, a sale, or just quietly wondering if the version of you that built this is the same one who should be running it.

Staying healthy long enough to enjoy it is another.

In this episode of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans DM get into a conversation they didn't originally plan to have—health. After years of grinding in business, many entrepreneurs eventually realize that success often comes at the cost of their bodies.

They talk about the reality of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, why high performers often neglect their health while building wealth, and why longevity, energy, and quality of life become the next focus once the money problem is solved.

From bloodwork and biomarkers to peer groups, lifestyle habits, and the evolving world of health optimization, this episode explores how successful people begin to rethink what it actually means to win in the long run.

Because building wealth is one thing. Staying healthy enough to enjoy it is a whole different game.

In the first episode of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM explore money, relationships, business, and what real wealth looks like.

Welcome to the first ever episode of I'm Rich, Now What?

Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM have collectively built nine-figure businesses, scaled thousands of rental units, raised private capital, and operated across real estate, tech, media, and more.

But this podcast starts with a different question: What happens after you get rich?

In this episode, Tim and Mark unpack:

  • What "rich" really means in this season of their lives

  • Why "slow mornings" may be the ultimate flex

  • The difference between cash flow and true freedom

  • Why hard work alone won't create wealth

  • How masterminds changed the trajectory of their businesses

  • The shift from chasing income to building enterprise value

  • Why relationships are the real prize of life.

But more importantly, they talk about identity.

Because what gets someone to wealth isn't always what sustains fulfillment.

This show isn't about flexing net worth. It's about perspective. It's about building wealth without losing family. It's about legacy, allocation, and long-term thinking.

If someone is rich… now what?

And when that final wire hit? Nothing. No fireworks.

In the first-ever guest episode of I'm Rich. Now What?, Bobby gets real with Tim and Mark about what actually happens after the big exit — the disappointment, the near-bankruptcy five years before the billion, the missed moments with his kids, and why he walked away at the top to build something he calls a 100-year legacy plan.

In this episode: why the exit fell flat, the "nonrefundable minutes" framework, when to sell, raising kids around money without ruining them, and why transparency is the whole game.

Bobby Castro is a fintech exit veteran ($1.85B+), real estate investor ($800M portfolio), co-founder of R360, and author of Outsider.

As commercial real estate recovers and major deals come to fruition, they discuss the power of celebrating your successes—whether that's a 7-figure exit, a business breakthrough, or sharing something with your kids.

Learn how to navigate the delicate balance of sharing wins without alienating those around you, how to identify the right people to celebrate with (spoiler: it's those who energize you, not drain you), and why it's crucial to involve your family in these conversations.

They also explore how talking openly about money wins—and failures—with your spouse and kids builds financial literacy and teaches the next generation that success is a journey of wins and losses. Tune in to discover how celebrating the right way can strengthen your relationships and keep you motivated for the next big opportunity.

The income goal.
The net worth target.
The exit amount.

But what is that number actually supposed to do?

In Episode 3 of I'm Rich, Now What?, Tim Bratz and Mark Evans, DM break down the idea of "your number" — what it means, how it evolves, and why most people never clearly define it.

They unpack:

  • Whether your number is income, net worth, or lifestyle-based

  • Why the target often changes as you grow

  • The difference between feeling secure and feeling fulfilled

  • How wealth goals shift at different levels

  • What happens when you hit a milestone and nothing changes

  • Why clarity matters more than the amount

By the time the money arrives, their kids are in their 50s — and the window to actually change their lives has long passed. In this episode, we dig into the psychology of wealth transfer, why giving a "living inheritance" beats waiting until death, and how to raise kids who are actually ready to handle it.

This is about more than inheritance. It's about building a real legacy.

We get into:
- Why most people receive inheritance too late in life
- How giving money too early can help (if done right)
- The balance between teaching and supporting your kids
- Why experiences might matter more than dollars
- How to raise kids who are capable, confident, and financially smart

At the end of the day, this isn't about money. It's about who your kids become.

If you're building wealth and thinking about your family's future, this is a conversation you need to hear.
