About Billy
I am a Father and Friend at heart - roles that ground me and inspire everything I do.
Billy Stohler looked like success on paper - MBA, financial strategist, structuring multimillion-dollar deals. But after a financial and emotional collapse, he rebuilt from the ground up.
Over 25+ years, Billy developed the Built for Freedom™ system - a proven framework for creating durable wealth, antifragile income streams, and real independence.
Today, he helps people cut through complexity, protect their wealth from chaos, and build lives fueled by freedom, not finances.
Years later, after a period of financial and emotional collapse, Billy rebuilt from the ground up. This time, he wasn’t chasing titles or theories. He wanted a system that could survive chaos, adapt to any market, and ultimately fund a life of freedom on his own terms.
That’s exactly what he built.
Drawing on more than 25 years of investing experience, Billy developed the Built for Freedom™ system - a framework designed to create durable, tax-smart income streams that free people from stress and give them back control of their time, energy, and future.
His writing and teaching are different by design: grounded, pragmatic, and born from real-world scars. He fuses sophisticated financial strategies with a deep understanding of the emotional side of money -burnout, decision fatigue, and doubt. The result is not just ROI, but what he calls Return on Headache™. Not just income, but antifragile systems that allow wealth to keep working long after you stop.
What sets Billy apart is his ability to take complex, high-level strategies and translate them into clear, actionable steps that anyone can use to build freedom - without hype, without theatrics.
Because for Billy, the purpose was never money. The purpose was to build a system so he never had to worry about money again.
And now, that same system is available to you.
You were Built for Freedom™.
is this you?...
Successful but Unfulfilled
Wealthy on paper. Empty inside.
Burned Out by Success
You did it all “right.” Still feels wrong.
Trapped as an Earner
Traded hours. Freedom lost.
Fragile Wealth
Looks strong, crumbles in downturns.
Overwhelmed by Complexity
Smart enough. Too busy to fix it.
future at risk
No system to carry wealth forward.
This isn’t theory. It’s a system rebuilt from collapse and proven to work through chaos.
Book Reviews
“I have only given our college student son two books (Think and Grow Rich and Rich Dad Poor Dad) with the instructions that they are MANDATORY and that I want him to be as successful as possible from a young age and retire early if he chooses to do so! This book will be the third one and the MOST VALUABLE one yet! College can be valuable in certain ways but REAL WORLD advice and shared experiences are invaluable!
I wish this book was around when I was his age but I am SO GRATEFUL I have it now to share with my kids!
If you are looking to optimize your investments, retire with confidence or share with your children it’s a MUST READ!”
