Attractive Mindset
In an age of social influence and you can be whoever you want to be on the internet; we wanted to take time to slow down and focus on two things are "success". First, what are some obstacles you deal with on your way to success, that aren't often shown like the wins are. Secondly, what kind of MINDSET ensues with that, triggering a lifestyle around The Law of Attraction. Bringing you answers from some of the most brilliant and successful minds locally and globally, we present Attractive Mindset with our host Mastermind Rich; a serial entrepreneur and business mindset coach.

In this episode of the Attractive Mindset, we sit down with Calvin Cannon Jr., a Philadelphia real estate investor with over 30 years in the game.
Unlike the “real estate influencers” who sell courses without proof, Calvin has lived the investor life — starting at 18 years old when he used a $5,000 college stipend to buy his first building. He shares the gritty truth of moving into roach-infested properties, selling his first deal for $60K, and learning by doing instead of just watching.
Cal breaks down:
- The difference between real investors vs influencers
- How he turned his job into a silent partner to fund his deals
- Why you should buy the property you need, not the one you want
- The power of passive vs active income and teaching it to the next generation
- Building systems so your legacy outlives you
- Why wealth is time, not money
This one is loaded with real talk, raw Philly stories, and timeless real estate lessons you won’t get from Instagram highlights.
