Investing mentors and teams are the hidden strategy that separates average investors from elite investors.

In this episode of Rich Dad StockCast, host Del Denney sits down with Rich Dad expert Andy Tanner to explain why most people struggle with investing—and why the problem is not lack of information, but lack of guidance.

Many new investors try to learn through books, videos, and trial and error. According to Andy Tanner, professionals don't do that. They build teams, learn from mentors, and compress decades of experience into a few years.

You'll learn why looking for deals first is a mistake and why successful investors focus on finding the right people instead. Andy shares how mentorship changed his own financial path, how Robert Kiyosaki influenced his investing journey, and why community and accountability dramatically improve investment decision-making.

In this episode you will discover:
• Why most investors fail by trying to do it alone
• How mentors help you avoid expensive investing mistakes
• The difference between education and guided learning
• How to identify the right financial mentors
• Why wealthy investors rely on teams, advisors, and coaching environments

This matters now because information has never been easier to access — yet successful investing still depends on experience, judgment, and pattern recognition. The right mentor helps you develop those skills faster and with less risk.

If you want to improve your investing results, start by changing who you learn from.
