How to Build Wealth and Stay Healthy Enough to Enjoy It with Lane Kawaoka - 124

Most driven men spend years chasing income, building a business, growing a career, and trying to provide for their family. That work matters. But after 40, the question starts to change.
What is all of this actually building?
In this episode of Driven For Health, Coach Brian sits down with Lane Kawaoka, author of The Wealth Elevator, to talk about health, wealth, freedom, and legacy. Lane shares how busy professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, and driven men can start thinking differently about money, passive income, real estate, taxes, and long-term wealth.
This conversation connects money and men’s health in a real way. If your business is growing but your energy, fitness, nutrition, stress management, or work-life balance are falling apart, the cost catches up. Better health supports better focus, better productivity, better business performance, and better decisions with money.
Brian and Lane also talk about CrossFit, walking, food, sleep, entrepreneurship, online business, financial independence, and what it takes to build wealth without losing yourself in the process.
This episode is for the man who wants to lose fat, build strength, protect his health, grow his income, and create something that lasts beyond the next paycheck.
This conversation is for education and perspective only. Talk with your own financial, legal, tax, and medical professionals before making decisions for your health or wealth.
