Dave Allred Bio

Dave Allred is the Managing Partner and CEO of Axia Partners, a public speaker and executive business consultant, and a prominent figure in the real estate world. Allred’s life reflects what a person can do when they live with intentionality and a willingness to “Do today what others won’t, so tomorrow you can have what others can’t.”

Born into a destitute family and entirely on his own at age 17, Dave first reset the standards of his life by becoming a millionaire at age 26 during his 15-year leadership career with Vivint, the nation’s largest smart home security company. After eight years as Regional V.P. of Sales, he transitioned to help grow sister company Vivint Solar.  Dave led 121 sales teams across 41 states over his leadership career, contributing to both companies going public with multi-billion dollar valuations.

At age 30, after reverse engineering how much passive income from real estate he’d need for true financial freedom, Dave committed to building a portfolio with ownership in 1,000 rental doors by age 40. He achieved his goal and launched Axia Partners, a fund focused on recession-resilient commercial real estate.

Along the way, Dave has created a life focused on family, freedom, value, and purpose. He’s traveled to over 55 countries, a Mt. Everest expedition, spoken on stages worldwide, and mentored thousands to live life fully with purpose and freedom through his unique “Lifestyle Design” system.

Today, Dave’s mission is creating value and inspiring others to achieve freedom through lifestyle investing. He’s committed to helping as many people achieve financial freedom through passive income real estate as possible. And, along with his ride-or-die wife and four beautiful children, he’s launched the Allred Family Foundation to give back and help the charitable causes his children have chosen to support.

Not able to travel?  We got you.   Join our next online event, built just for kickass dads who know there’s more to learn.  FrontRowDads.com/summit 

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.  

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? 

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
