Land Deals Paid More Than Her Doctorate

In this episode, I sat down with Quynh and Tri Vu, a married couple who abandoned their six-figure careers as pharmacists and IT engineers, respectively, to pursue land investing.

Its history is full of information. We covered how land deals paid more than Quynh’s PhD, how they left high-stress jobs behind for more time freedom, and how they quietly raised capital without even asking for it.

You’ll also learn how their “zero reduction” strategy led to 50 buyer defaults in one quarter, and why they still consider defaults a profit. Tri also shared the dopamine automation he created for his team, which keeps everyone motivated with real-time updates.

We also explore whether you can really run a successful real estate business with your spouse (without losing your mind).

Whether you’re new to the world or trying to scale, this is a masterclass on systems, mindset, and people-centered investing.
