Send us a text"I'm in the investment stage of my life... I want more kids. I always tell women, like, want it all and do it all. Don't let anyone put you in a box."Welcome back to another episode of Investing RN! Get ready to dive into our first interview with the amazing Sarah Wild. She's not just a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist), but also the powerhouse behind a thriving aesthetics business. Sarah's all about helping women rock their best selves through non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and she's a firm believer that work-life balance is totally achievable for women.We had an absolute blast chatting with Sarah, so much so that we had to split her story into two parts! In part one, she speaks on her journey from nursing school to CRNA status and launching her own aesthetics business. You'll hear about the importance of family, striking that work-life balance, and the hurdles she faced during her anesthesia training. Sarah dives into the nitty-gritty of aesthetics certification, the range of injections she offers, and why keeping it natural and conservative is key. Even though Josh and Colin are still confused about the difference between Botox and filler, we think you all will catch up quickly.Sarah also spills about her big plans for the future, like expanding her business and adding exciting new services such as weight loss treatments. So, buckle up and get ready for some serious inspiration!

Send us a textWhat do anesthesia, Alaska, mobile home parks, and a $12,000 tax swing have in common?They're all part of the wild, real-talk journey we've been on in the first half of the year. This Best of Q1 & Q2 recap distills down the sharpest advice, biggest mindset shifts, and most “wait, what?” moments from our favorite guests and hosts so far.You'll laugh. You'll pause. You'll probably rewind at least once.But most importantly? You'll walk away with the confidence and clarity to start making smarter moves with your money, career, and time—even if your first investment is a crummy duplex. (And yes, we love a crummy duplex.)

Send us a textColin and Josh finally spill the beans on their latest mobile home park deal — a $3.6 million portfolio they locked down with (almost) no money out of pocket. But here's the catch: they actually did bring a few grand to the table… so is "no money down" just a sexy lie to sell you a course?This episode dives into what “no money out of pocket” really means, how their investor got 5% equity, and the beautiful mess of coordinating signatures with trusts, partners, and a very tired Josh who went to bed at 7:30 PM. Oh, and if you're a high-income earner looking to offset taxes — the boys talk depreciation and short-term rental loopholes too. Grab a wine (hopefully worth $460 like Colin's), and enjoy the banter.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Investing RN Podcast, Josh and Colin take you inside the messy, chaotic, and crucial early stages of building a real estate portfolio.Starting with just 11 crummy multi-family units, they learned the hard way that good management beats good deals — and that lesson helped them scale to nearly 250 doors.They share everything they wish they knew earlier about managing small properties, raising rents without losing tenants, preparing for $8K surprise repairs, and why every “bad” deal is actually a training ground for success.If you're serious about real estate investing, this is the real talk nobody else is giving you.
