49: The Tax Playbook for Entrepreneurs: Peter Culver on Keeping More of Your Money

In this episode of The Legacy Investor, I sit down with tax strategist and wealth architect Peter Culver, a guy who knows the tax code front-to-back and has helped entrepreneurs save thousands during exits, major capital gains events, and high-income years.

We dig into the biggest mistakes business owners make when preparing to exit, the tax strategies CPAs never bring up, and simple ways entrepreneurs can reduce their tax bill this year. What I love most about Peter is that he’s not just about money — he’s obsessed with helping people become rich beyond money: in their families, relationships, and impact.

If you're a business owner, real estate investor, or someone planning a future exit, this episode is packed with tactical takeaways you can use immediately.

🔑 Key Takeaways

👉How to pay your kids tax-free for age-appropriate work (or even licensing their photos).
👉High-level strategies for reducing ordinary income using solar investments, bonus depreciation, and tax credits.
👉How entrepreneurs can diversify income streams and protect themselves long-term.
