Wildly Wealthy LifeAuthor: Lee and Kat Hughes
Hey There! Were Lee and Kat, the voices behind the Wildly Wealthy Life podcast, where we dive into what it really means to live a fulfilling, extraordinary lifeone built on mindset, leadership, and creativity. Back in 2020, we launched the podcast with a focus on interviewing people who had either gained financial freedom or were well on their way. The common thread in every story? Intentional generosity. We shared real stories from people who are living with purpose and giving back. We made it to 30 episodes, but life had other plansbetween launching a new business, losing Lees dad, and navigating our own personal challenges, we decided to take a pause and regroup. The world was going through a lot, and so were we. But even in the midst of all that, we stayed grounded in what matters most to us: living intentionally and generously. Our marriage started with nearly 100K in debt, but through persistence and hard work, we paid it off and went on to buy five properties with a total of 13 units. That journey tested our grit and tenacity, proving to us that no challenge is too great when you're driven by purpose and determination. When we were ready to relaunch, we knew the focus needed to shift. Now, Wildly Wealthy Life isnt just about financial freedomits about how brilliant minds and brave hearts, fueled by creativity, a growth mindset, and strong leadership skills, truly lead to an extraordinary life. As we navigate this journey, we find joy in the little thingslike spending time with our three fur babies, King Boogie, Prince Goose, and Princess Smokey. Weve fostered over 20 kittens, and while weve faced the heartache of struggling to have kids after 18 years of marriage, caring for these little furballs has brought us comfort and laughter during some challenging times. A few other things that bring us joy are gaming, hiking, and all things martial arts for Lee, along with building everything from furniture to model planes.
