In this episode of The Underdog Podcast, Dr. Jon Hogue shares his inspiring journey from a small-town upbringing to creating lasting change for at-risk youth and homeless families. Growing up in a rural Massachusetts town with a population of just 450, he developed resilience and a deep sense of community—qualities that would later define his mission. With a background in psychology, he spent decades working in residential treatment facilities, mentoring troubled youth, and eventually stepping into nonprofit leadership at NorthStar Family Services.Dr. Hogue recounts the challenges of transforming North Star, inheriting a shelter in a dangerous neighborhood with little funding and limited resources. Refusing to accept the status quo, he launched an ambitious plan to secure a safe, dignified space for homeless families. With remarkable tenacity and faith, he convinced a benefactor to purchase and renovate a building, laying the foundation for a model shelter. But his vision extended beyond temporary housing—he set out to tackle the root cause of family homelessness by developing affordable housing, a seven-year endeavor that raised $9 million for 15 subsidized apartments despite constant skepticism.Throughout the interview, Dr. Hogue emphasizes the power of persistence, strategic thinking, and treating every family with dignity. His journey is a testament to the impact of unwavering determination, strong leadership, and a relentless commitment to providing not just shelter, but hope and a pathway to self-sufficiency.Key Takeaways:The Power of Persistence: When faced with obstacles, find a way to go "over it, around it, or through it" rather than giving up.Strategic Networking: Building relationships and coalitions is essential for accessing resources and creating sustainable change.Vision Beyond Limitations: Don't let current resources or experience define what's possible; start with what's needed and figure out the path.The Importance of Housing Security: Safe, stable housing is fundamental to human development and family well-being.Maintaining High Standards: Never settle for "better than nothing" when serving vulnerable populations.John's story demonstrates how one person's refusal to accept impossibility can create lasting solutions to complex social problems, showing that with enough determination and the right team, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome.Listen to this exciting episode.

Join us on the Underdog podcast as we dive into the journey of transformation from a successful dentist to a real estate guru with Dr. David Phelps. David reveals the lessons learned from his hands-on experiences, the challenges overcome, and the strategies that led to his success.Dr. Phelps, a former dentist, took an unconventional path by stepping into the world of real estate investing. From selling greeting cards door-to-door in his early days, pursuing a career in dentistry, following in his father's footsteps, to eventually making a pivot in his life. Now with his community, Freedom Founders, they cater to professionals and business owners seeking passive real estate investments.Key Takeaways:External factors influence: sometimes individuals may find themselves on a career path influenced by external factors, like family expectations or societal norms. It is important to pursue one's true passion, taking in consideration that the traditional route of education and career choices may not be the only path to success and fulfillment.Creating financial independence: individuals, both young and old, need to move beyond the traditional mindset of trading time for dollars and to actively seek out opportunities for building passive income, particularly in real estate. For young individuals, immersing themselves in the real estate field by finding mentors or apprenticing with experienced professionals and maximizing the available platforms in this time and age. And for older individuals, being part of networks like Family Mastermind provides access to valuable connections, opportunities and education tailored to their specific needs.Building your career: In building a career in real estate, success often comes over time, through consistent effort, curiosity, continuous learning and taking risks. Real estate is truly versatile, and it is only with yourself the choice to explore various facets and find what aligns with your goals and interests.So, whether you're a dental practitioner like David once was, a corporate professional, or an entrepreneur at heart, this episode is for you.

Today is 2.22 and finally, we're launching Revelution!As many of you know, I recently launched my newest venture called Revelution. But what you may not know is the deeper spiritual journey that led me to this innovative housing solution company.For years, I found fulfillment and success in real estate development. But a few years ago, I had an epiphany - as impactful as my work was, I felt called to serve and help on an even larger scale. I went through a period of deep soul-searching and listening within to discern what form this could take.That's when the idea of modular construction first came to me. As an experienced developer, I was aware of the inefficiencies and delays plaguing traditional building methods. I saw an opportunity to streamline the process through prefabricated housing. This aligned with my values of sustainability and accessibility.As I researched options like mobile homes and shipping containers, I was struck by the environmental benefits. By reusing materials already in circulation and minimizing site impact, we reduce waste and our footprint. With over 23 million containers being discarded each year - we aim to give them new life through our designs.Most inspiring of all has been the potential social impact. By offering affordable, customized living spaces that are quick to install, we hope to help address the housing crisis and empower more people to pursue their dreams. Whether it's multigenerational living, additional rental income, or workspace for small businesses, our goal is to support communities.This journey has been spiritual - following signs to find innovative solutions rooted in service, sustainability, and positive change. I'm grateful for the opportunity, and hopeful that together we can revolutionize real estate for good.The doors to Revelution are OPEN, and registration is officially LIVE!
