Phil Calandra: Turn Business Revenue Into Wealth | Entrepreneurship 101

Episode Summary

Your business is growing but is your personal wealth keeping pace? On Entrepreneurship 101, host Daniel Lucas welcomes Phil Calandra, co-founder of TruWealth Advisors, to explore why building a successful business and building lasting wealth require distinct, coordinated plans. The conversation examines the Revenue Trap: rising income, expanding lifestyle costs, and personal wealth that stalls. Phil discusses his approach to connecting business profitability, tax planning, and personal finances through three principles: generate, keep, and multiply. From rebuilding after a financial crisis to building businesses alongside his wife and co-founder, Trish, Phil reflects on systems, partnership, and the decisions that shape a founder’s financial future. Explore what it means to become work-optional, why professional advisors need to communicate, and how entrepreneurs can begin thinking beyond an eventual business sale.
