Entrepreneur, Among Other Things
Entrepreneur, among other things...
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, cook a meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
I talk to the most interesting people we can find in business, finance, science, art, technology, and human improvement and try to learn from them.
Entrepreneur, Among Other Things
#119 - Ian Noble - The Dry Cleaning Business, Buying out a Parent, Selling the Company, and Real Estate Investing
Ian Noble is an entrepreneur, investor, and former small-business owner who spent 14 years building and operating a successful dry-cleaning company with 14 locations and more than 90 employees. For over a decade, he lived the reality many entrepreneurs know too well — long days, constant pressure, and the feeling of being “on” 24/7. While he took pride in serving his community and growing his business, the demanding lifestyle left little room for the things that mattered most: his wife, his young children, and his personal well-being.
In 2023, Ian made a life-changing decision to sell his business and redesign his future. He shifted his focus toward family, travel, running marathons, and building a life that offered freedom over exhaustion. During his business years, Ian began investing in residential and commercial real estate. Over time, he discovered passive real estate investing — a path that allowed him to earn income without sacrificing his time or peace of mind.
Today, Ian’s mission is clear: to help entrepreneurs break free from trading hours for dollars and build long-term wealth through passive real estate investments. With practical experience and a heart for service, he teaches others how to reclaim their time, diversify their income, and create a life they truly own.
