📝 Full Episode Description

In this episode of Millionaires Unveiled, host Jace Mattinson sits down with real estate investor and educator Lane Kawaoka to talk about what happens when your net worth takes a 50% hit — and how to climb back stronger.

Lane opens up about the impact of recent market shifts on his portfolio, the lessons he’s learned from holding through tough cycles, and the importance of understanding your “floor” in the wealth-building process. From workforce housing to multifamily syndications, he shares real strategies for navigating today’s volatile economy and building long-term stability.

He also introduces his new book, The Wealth Elevator, a guide for accredited investors who want to move up the financial floors strategically, safely, and with purpose.
