Dan Sheeks is the author of the new book, First to a Million: A Teenager’s Guide to Achieving Early Financial Freedom, and the accompanying workbook, published by BiggerPockets. Tailored toward the Gen Z demographic, Sheeks works toward introducing them to early financial freedom strategies, concepts, and mindsets so they can live their best lives as young adults.
In addition to being a published author, Dan has been a high school business teacher for twenty years, as well as a personal finance advocate, an early financial freedom achiever, and a real estate investor. Based in Denver, Colorado, Dan has been a guest on well over fifty podcasts and is considered by many as the quintessential expert on early financial freedom education for Gen Z.
Dan launched SheeksFreaks in late 2019, an app-based community dedicated to helping young people learn money management skills, start investing in real estate, and pursue early financial independence. The SheeksFreaks community aims to help Gen Z use specific methods of saving, earning extra income, and investing to set them on track to achieve financial independence at a young age.
Dan and his wife have a variety of real estate investments, including multi-family, single-family, short-term rentals, and out-of-state “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” (BRRR) properties. They currently have seventeen units in Colorado and Michigan.
