Legacy Wealth

This episode of the Legacy Podcast might wreck you—in the best way possible. I sat down with Chris Singleton, a former pro baseball player turned speaker, entrepreneur, and real estate investor… but more importantly, one of the most powerful voices on forgiveness and resilience you'll ever hear. Chris lost his mother in a racially motivated church shooting ten years ago. And somehow, after all that, he chose love. He built a movement, a speaking career, a real estate portfolio—and a life most people only dream about. In this episode, we talk about grief, hustle, faith, and building real wealth—financially and emotionally. Whether you're a real estate investor, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to be better every day... you need to hear this.

Most people still think they need a business card to make connections. The reality? Social media is the new business card—and if you're not leveraging it, you're invisible. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Cory Jacobson of Wealth Juice to break down why personal branding is the most powerful tool for real estate investors and entrepreneurs today. Cory shares how he scaled his network, raised capital, and built his brand—all by showing up online. If you want to attract deals, build credibility, and create unlimited business opportunities, this is a must-watch.

Most entrepreneurs focus on strategy, deals, and tactics—but Bobby Castro will tell you that mindset is what really separates successful business owners from those who stay stuck. After scaling his company to a $1 billion valuation and successfully exiting, Bobby is here to share the hard lessons he learned along the way. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, Bobby and I dive deep into the mental shifts that allowed him to build a high-growth business, scale without burnout, and create lasting wealth. If you're serious about leveling up your mindset and your business, you don't want to miss this one.

Most real estate investors think flipping houses is the best way to build wealth—but Alex Pardo learned the hard way that it's a constant grind. After years of chasing deals, managing contractors, and fighting for margins, he made a major shift—he went all in on self-storage investing… and he's never looked back. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, Alex shares: ✅ Why he walked away from house flipping after years in the business ✅ The biggest lessons he's learned from self-storage investing ✅ How self-storage offers higher profits with fewer headaches ✅ The scalability & cash flow benefits that make self-storage a no-brainer ✅ What new investors need to know before getting into self-storage If you're burnt out on flipping or just looking for a better real estate strategy, this episode is a must-watch! //CONNECT WITH ALEX Instagram: @alexpardo25 YouTube:  @AlexPardo   Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flip-empire-show/id1120765959 Storage Wins Coaching: storagewins.com ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 – Why Flipping Wasn't the Wealth Builder Alex Expected 02:15 – The Self-Storage Shift: What Made Him Switch 06:45 – The Biggest Lessons Learned from Self-Storage Investing 10:30 – Why Self-Storage Beats Flipping for Long-Term Wealth 15:00 – How to Get Started in Self-Storage (Without Huge Capital) 18:45 – What New Investors Get Wrong About Self-Storage 25:21 –

Everyone wants to know: What's the quickest way to succeed in real estate? In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, Justin Colby breaks it down. With over 18 years in real estate, thousands of deals closed, and one of the top real estate podcasts, he's mastered the game. But his journey wasn't always smooth—he went from sleeping on a couch and losing everything to building a real estate empire. Justin shares the exact steps new investors should take to get their first deal, build momentum, and scale fast. If you're looking for real, no-BS advice on wholesaling, flipping, and wealth building, this episode is for you.

Most people struggle to break into real estate, but Brent Daniels figured out the secret: mastering the art of finding deals and turning them into a cash machine. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, we dive deep into how Brent built a multi-million dollar business, why wholesaling is the foundation of real estate investing, and how you can generate massive profits without owning a single property. Brent is the creator of TTP (Talk to People), a real estate coach, and one of the most recognized figures in the wholesaling industry. He's trained thousands of investors on how to find off-market deals, raise capital, and scale their businesses. But his journey wasn't easy—he had to rebuild after losing everything in 2008. Now, he's sharing the strategies that helped him create a predictable, scalable income in real estate.

How Tony Giordano Went from Losing It All to Real Estate Royalty Most people wouldn't bounce back after losing everything—but Tony Giordano isn't most people. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Tony to talk about his incredible journey from financial struggles to being on top of the real estate game. Tony has been featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, and Bravo TV as a celebrity agent and is recognized as one of the Top 100 Leaders in the World by John C. Maxwell. With over 25 years in real estate, finance, and marketing, he's built a powerful reputation in the industry. But it wasn't always like that… After making millions in real estate, Tony lost it all in the 2008 crash. Instead of giving up, he rebuilt from the ground up using social media, marketing, and innovative investment strategies. If you're interested in raising money for real estate, scaling your business, or leveraging tech to get ahead, this episode is a must-watch!

Most people think getting rich is about working harder—but the truth is, it's about thinking differently.

11Welcome to the Legacy Podcast! Today, I'm sitting down with my great friend Amanda Holbrook, who works with Specialized Trust Company. She is my go-to person for all things self-directed retirement accounts. I think Amanda is probably the most under undervalued resource that we all have access to. She understands this world where there are trillions of dollars available to you and me from people in their retirement accounts that they can then self-directed into your real estate deals, into your business deals, and unlock troves of capital that you didn't know was available to you before. So from a private money raising standpoint, this is a tool that will open up vaults of cash for you and your business. So we're going to sit down with Amanda to learn all about self-directed retirement accounts. I want to hear a little bit about what's going on with, the folks that have their retirement accounts with her and kind of what they're looking for, how they're deploying, what their mindset is right now on the private lender side of things, and really dive deep into all that stuff. Plus, we'll talk about 3 things you can't do with self-directed accounts (and all the things you can). //CONNECT WITH AMANDA & SPECIALIZED TRUST COMPANY Instagram: @specialized_trust_company Website: specializedtrustcompany.com Email: aholbrook@irastc.com Calendar link: https://my-schedule.timetrade.com/app/td-3313916/workflows/cmvmr/schedule/welcome?wfsid=mi8ic7ojklbiupoditj9gr168aku02b5&view=full&fs=1 0:00 It's Amanda Holbrook! 3:04 What is a self-directed retirement account? 16:14 What are you seeing right now? 21:06 Timelines & Diversification 30:08 Peter Thiel 36:56 How do you grow an account quickly? //CONNECT WITH TIM linktree.com/timbratz //ABOUT ME Tim Bratz is the Founder & CEO of Legacy Wealth Holdings, a leading real estate investment company.
