ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Self-Directed Edge is the podcast for investors who want their retirement capital doing more than sitting in the market.
Hosted by Joel Landon of Heritage IRA, each episode features a candid conversation with alternative asset operators, fund managers, and real estate specialists breaking down how self-directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s can access opportunities most investors never knew existed.
From multifamily real estate and private credit to precious metals and tokenized assets, if it's alternative, Joel is talking about it.
