From Bankruptcy to Cigars: How this Real Estate Investor made his Comeback

Today's episode features a truly remarkable guest, Jeffrey Holst.
Jeff, a recovering attorney, podcast host, and real estate
investor, recently made waves in a completely different
industry—he's the founder of a brand-new cigar company. At 30,
Jeff checked the last item off his personal bucket list by
standing atop Machu Picchu. Little did he know, two weeks later,
he'd be in a hospital bed, his life unraveling. His business was
in chaos, marriage strained, and bankruptcy loomed. Fast forward
to today, at 45, and Jeff has not only rebuilt but soared to new
heights. A multi-millionaire with a substantial real estate
portfolio, including over 350 residential units and multiple
commercial properties, he continues to explore the world. Jeff's
journey includes conquering Mt. Kilimanjaro in February 2020 and
setting foot in Antarctica in January 2022, completing the
illustrious seven continent club. As the co-host and founder of
the Last Life Ever Podcast, Jeff is passionate about helping
people live the best version of their lives. He also co-hosts the
Old Fashioned Real Estate Show, where bourbon old fashioneds and
real estate investing take center stage. Jeff's wisdom extends to
the written word, as he's the author of the book, "No Bad Days:
How to Make Every Day Great." Join us as we delve into Jeff's
extraordinary life, his foray into the cigar industry, and the
business acumen that led him from the brink of bankruptcy to
becoming a thriving entrepreneur. Get ready for an inspiring and
insightful conversation on this special episode of "Dealmaker
Diaries" with the one and only Jeffrey Holst. Stay tuned!
