Surviving 9/11 didn’t just change his life — it rewired how he sees money, fear, and purpose.

What happens when you live through a moment that was supposed to end you?

In this episode of The Frequency of Wealth, I sit down with Alan Schnur — a real estate investor who survived 9/11 and went on to build a nine-figure real estate portfolio. We talk about fear, burnout, discipline, and what real wealth actually means when you’ve faced death and kept walking.

This is not a typical business podcast.

This is a raw, grounded conversation about how surviving trauma reshapes your relationship with time, money, ambition, and identity — and why the most successful entrepreneurs learn to act in spite of fear, not without it.

Alan shares lessons from:

• surviving 9/11
• building hundreds of millions in real estate
• climbing the world’s highest mountains
• raising a son with responsibility and discipline
• learning when to push — and when to step back

This episode is for entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders who are questioning success, burnout, and the true cost of ambition.

In this episode, we explore:

• How facing death permanently changes your relationship with money
• Why most entrepreneurs burn out — and how to avoid it
• Courage as action in spite of fear, not the absence of it
• Why walking, stillness, and discipline create long-term wealth
• The difference between doing more and being aligned
• How money becomes a tool for service, not identity
• Intuition vs spreadsheets in high-stakes decisions
• Why presence is the real competitive advantage

If you’ve ever felt like success should feel different — calmer, clearer, more meaningful — this conversation will hit home.
