Ted Rud is the definition of focused hustle. By day, he works as a full-time engineer. On the side? He’s built a portfolio of 9 rental properties—most of them college rentals—and he’s done nearly all of it himself. Ted shares how he turned a disciplined mindset, detailed tracking, and relentless goal-setting into a real estate business that could replace his income… but doesn’t have to, because he actually loves his job.

In this episode, Ted breaks down how he balances both worlds, why you don’t need to quit your 9–5 to build wealth, and how the side hustle game is won with consistency, not shortcuts.
