Created by Carl Grande — The Real Income Mentor
Carl Grande is an investment advisor, entrepreneur, and creator focused on one thing: helping people understand how money is really made.
As the founder of the Real Income Mentor platform and host of Carl Vs, Carl breaks down income models, side hustles, creator businesses, and financial strategies by comparing real paths to real money.
With over a decade in investment management and experience building both advisory practices and mentorship-driven businesses, Carl teaches from the perspective of someone still in the arena. His content blends personal finance, entrepreneurship, faith, and systems-based thinking to help professionals move from salaried ceilings to scalable income.
In addition to creator content, Carl mentors through FAN Advisors Wealth Mentorship Community, where he helps advisors build automated, high-margin businesses that create both lifestyle freedom and enterprise value.
When he’s not building businesses or creating content, Carl hosts the Real Saints Podcast, a Christian discipleship channel focused on faith, discipline, and becoming who God calls you to be.
He is joyfully married to his beautiful wife, Audrey, and has two children who he loves and cherishes.

Do I need to buy anything?
No.
There is nothing you need to buy to get value from this call.
The purpose of the conversation is clarity around your income, goals, and how to think about funding them over time. Any next step is optional and only discussed if it genuinely makes sense.
Is this a sales pitch?
No.
This is not a pitch or a pressure call.
We walk through your net income, your expenses, and how money is actually working in your life right now. The goal is understanding and clear thinking, not selling you anything.
What do I need for the call?
Two things.
A clear understanding of:
• Your net income after taxes
• Your monthly expenses at a minimum
This conversation is grounded in real numbers. Net income is what matters. Everything else can be worked through together.
Is Income Breakdown legit?
Yes.
This work is grounded in real planning and real-world experience. The conversations are practical, transparent, and focused on helping people think clearly about income, time, and goals.
Why is this free?
The conversation is free. The clarity around your income is free. The understanding you gain is free.
What’s not free is the work.
If you decide you want more freedom, it will require time, money, learning, and consistency. This call simply helps you see what that would actually take and whether it’s something you want to commit to.
