In this powerful episode of The Mike Litton Experience, Mike Litton sits down with Pascal Wagner, entrepreneur, venture capital professional, and passive income strategist, for a deeply personal and insightful conversation about turning loss into legacy.
After the passing of his father, Pascal was faced with an enormous responsibility—protecting his mother’s financial future. Drawing on his background in venture capital, real estate, and startup investing, Pascal built a diversified cash-flow strategy that now generates over $100,000 per year in passive income—without relying on traditional stock market risk.
In this episode, Pascal shares:
-
His journey from Germany to the U.S. and from startup founder to investor
-
How he raised $2M, scaled a real estate tech company, and worked at Techstars
-
Why the traditional “nest egg” retirement model is broken
-
How Limited Partner (LP) investing creates cash flow, diversification, and peace of mind
-
The emotional reality of stepping into the family patriarch role after loss
-
How everyday investors can access private market opportunities responsibly
Whether you’re navigating a family financial transition, planning for retirement, or seeking alternatives to Wall Street, this episode delivers real-world insight, clarity, and hope.
