Jim Pfeifer welcomes John Bowens of Equity Trust to break down Roth conversions and how investors can use them effectively within self-directed IRAs or solo 401(k)s. John explains how to reduce your tax burden by revaluing illiquid assets like real estate syndications before converting to a Roth account. He also walks through when conversions make sense, how to get involved with Equity Trust, and why paying taxes on the seed rather than the crop can lead to long-term tax-free growth.

If you are planning for early retirement, building legacy wealth, or want to reduce your tax liability, this conversation offers a practical roadmap.
