Drive Away Debt with a dad who’s been there.
I paid off $90K of student debt, became mortgage-free, and funded our future retirement. Now I help dads find balance without sacrificing what matters most.
If it’s a fit, we’ll map out your first steps together.
Hi, I’m Joe Mihalic.
I believe freedom from debt creates space for what matters most—our health, our families, our dreams.
After 13 years at Apple, I left to help dads who feel trapped by debt find a way out.
My approach comes from experience: I paid off $90,000 of student debt in seven months, paid off our mortgage, and funded our future retirement.
Financial freedom gave me the chance to slow down—to spend more time with my wife and our two kids, and to live with less stress and more purpose.
Not every dad can quit his job tomorrow. But every dad deserves a plan, a path forward, and a shot at peace of mind.
