About this episode
Wall Street isn’t telling you the whole story about your retirement accounts—they tell you what works for them. In this episode of the Directed IRA Podcast, Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Kohler kick off a 10-part series covering everything you need to know about self-directed IRAs.
What is a self-directed IRA? How does it work? And why is Wall Street reluctant to share these options with you? Mat and Mark dive into the power of self-directing, explaining how you can invest in assets beyond the stock market, including real estate, private businesses, crypto, and more.
With over 25 years of experience as tax lawyers and financial experts, Mat and Mark break down the rules, benefits, and opportunities of self-directed accounts in simple, practical terms. Whether you’re a first-time investor or an experienced advisor, this series is designed to help you take control of your retirement.
Don’t miss this foundational episode—your first step toward financial freedom starts here.
