Today I'm talking to Jim Donnelly, a founder who has built and scaled businesses across travel, real estate, wellness, and longevity medicine. He built an online travel community with 300,000+ members that later rolled into Travelocity. He developed luxury real estate that still holds Charlotte's record for price per square foot. He co-founded Restore Hyper Wellness and helped scale it to 225+ locations. Now, he's building Humanaut Health, a longevity medicine company with $10M-per-clinic potential. But the interesting part isn't just what Jim has built. It's how he keeps moving into completely different industries and finding the opportunity before everyone else sees it. A lot of founders fail when they jump categories because they assume the same playbook will work again. Jim sees it differently. He's clear about what transfers from one business to the next, what doesn't, and why the best opportunities are often hiding inside big categories that already exist. We get into how he builds brands people actually care about, why he'd rather have fewer customers who love him than more customers who only like him, and the biggest lessons he learned after raising $140M in private equity.   Watch on YouTube:      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF), joins me for a review of Q2 operations at the McCreedy West Mine and the expedited development pathway for the Levack and Crean Hill mines located in Sudbury, Ontario. We also unpack the C$140 Million Strategic Investment by Alpayana, coming in as a new 19.9% stakeholder.     Q2 Operational Highlights: As of June 26, 2026, McCreedy West had shipped 91,724 tons of ore from the 700 Copper Zone to Vale Base Metals' Clarabelle mill in Sudbury, with four days remaining in the second quarter. This surpasses the 84,953 tons of ore produced in the fourth quarter of 2025 and represents a new quarterly record for McCreedy West under Magna ownership. The average grade of the 66,445 tons of ore shipped during April and May is 3.55% copper equivalent (“CuEq”), based on the commodity prices assumed in the Company's 2026 production and cost guidance. Final assays are pending for ore shipped in June but average grades for Q2 are anticipated to be near the upper end of the full year guidance range. Underground development at McCreedy West during the quarter is anticipated to exceed 2,350 feet, also a record under Magna ownership. McCreedy West has achieved a Total Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.0.   Numerous pieces of well-maintained underground equipment have been acquired from a nearby Sudbury operation that is moving into a state of closure for a total price of less than $1 million, well below market rates for equivalent used or new equipment. This equipment will be repurposed for use at the Company's Levack Mine and to support other Magna projects in the Sudbury Basin with potential savings expected to be in the range of $9-12 million.     On July 6, 2026, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement financing with Alpayana S.A.C. to purchase 62,222,222 common shares of the Company at a price of C$2.25 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$140,000,000. At closing of the Offering, Alpayana is expected to hold approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Magna.  Jason unpacked how the transaction came together, the shared values and business approaches between the 2 companies, and how this capital accelerates a dual-track development of both Levack and Crean Hill into commercial production by 2028.   The Company is planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Levack Mine in parallel with work to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities during Q3.  At present those economics will not include the high-grade drilling completed to date at the R2 Footwall Zone. We reviewed the continued high-grade drill results across copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver in more recent assays returned from the ongoing exploration and development work at the Levack Mine. Jason highlights that a development drift is being implemented to support ongoing underground exploration of this area, for the potential of future implementation into development plans.   Next we review the ongoing workstreams for Crean Hill that will be feeding into the upcoming PFS later this year.  He notes that the significantly higher precious metals today compared to back in 2022 will be a factor that plays into the updated economics, and maps out that the ramp up into production could commence as early as H2 2027.   We wrap up discussing that the prior-producing Poldosky Mine and the development-stage Shakespeare Project are still both permitted assets of merit and will feed the development cue as mines number 4 and 5 further down the road.      Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.         For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

The largest commercial autonomous system on earth isn't a robotaxi fleet — it's Zipline, which has flown 140 million autonomous miles with zero safety incidents. Co-founder Keller Rinaudo Cliffton and Eric Watson, who leads systems engineering and safety, explain why the drone itself is only 15% of the solution. The rest spans inventory management, air traffic integration, and engineering systems such as a dual flight computer failover protocol that recently saved a delivery mid-flight. They trace Zipline's path from launching blood delivery in Rwanda in 2016 (when drone delivery was illegal in the US) to a 51% reduction in maternal mortality in that country, a $550 million commercial diplomacy partnership with the State Department, and a cost curve that fell from $300 per delivery to $12. Zipline is now racing toward a million deliveries a day, and a quiet inflection point when autonomous delivery becomes cheaper than sending a car. Hosted by Alfred Lin and Pat Grady, Sequoia Capital

Shipping fascinates me. The industry usually quietly carries approximately 80% of all internationally traded good. Tankers reach 400m long and carry loads of $200m+ worth of oil. But the best part of it is the 4D multi-year chess game played across the globe, by an industry that can be as profitable as it is cyclical.Watch it on YouTube or listen on the Substack player or every podcast app.Key topics discussed* The math behind 30% returns on $140M assets.* Managing risk in a highly cyclical, capex-heavy industry.* Why Japan and China are rebuilding global oil storage.* The "one-stop shop" model for financial investors in shipping (the Uber of Shipping).SummaryPankaj Khanna, CEO of Nasdaq-listed Heidmar, discusses how shipping and freight underpin the global economy, focusing on oil tanker markets. He shares his path from an Indian merchant navy cadet to CEO and 45% owner, and explains Heidmar's growth since 2019 from six ships and six people to managing 65 vessels across six global offices with 65 staff. Heidmar is a non-asset-owning, debt-free, “one-stop shop” providing ship acquisition support, financing and corporate setup, technical management (crews, SMS), and commercial management (employment with oil majors and traders enabled by long-standing KYC approvals), earning daily fees and commissions on freight. The discussion covers spot freight economics, investor types, traders' roles, shipping cyclicality driven by geopolitics, distance and fleet supply, and Heidmar's long-term digital platform and AI initiatives to optimize operations, alongside the company's EBITDA-multiple valuation versus NAV.LinksHeidmarhttps://www.heidmar.com/Pankaj Khanna on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/pankaj-khanna-69746b1/About Investology:A podcast dedicated to investment management intelligence and uncovering new ways to deliver better outcomes for investors.

Projecting Vikings Extensions Under Nolan Teasley: O'Neill, Addison, Redmond, and a Kyler Murray Scenario — Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss how new decision-maker Nolan Teasley might shape the Vikings roster by prioritizing contract extensions and their salary-cap effects. They project four possible extensions: RT Brian O'Neill (three years, $72M, $48M guaranteed) structured to lower near-term cap hits; WR Jordan Addison (three years, $82.5M, $34M guaranteed) with rising future cap numbers and void years; DT Jalen Redmond (three years, $48M, $23M guaranteed), noting his restricted free agent status and tender leverage; and a post-season Kyler Murray extension (four years, $140M) contingent on performance and Arizona's guaranteed-money timing. After all four, they estimate about $25M in 2027 cap space, discuss managing void-year dead money for several veterans, and preview training camp and a member call-in show. 00:00 Teasley Extension Outlook 01:40 Why Pay Your Own 02:54 Brian O'Neill Contract Case 06:07 Cap Math And Structure 12:06 Market Value Comparisons 16:36 Jordan Addison Extension Model 22:15 Cap Space After Two Deals 22:27 Jalen Redmond Extension Debate 27:46 Greenard Trade Fallout 28:29 Kyler vs McCarthy Extensions 30:26 Timing Guaranteed Money 31:19 Projecting Kyler Deal 33:34 Contract Structure Breakdown 36:23 McCarthy Fifth Year Option 39:55 If McCarthy Sits 43:08 Cap Space After Extensions 45:32 Draft Hits vs Free Agency 47:38 Front Office Uncertainty 48:39 Training Camp Countdown 49:53 Wrap Up And Membership _______________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/BGrNdO5SG6M Fan With Us!!!

HSE Mid West has spent over €140 million on agency staff since the beginning of 2024. Figures provided to Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney at the latest HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest meeting have revealed the spend on agency staff came to almost €68 million last year alone. HSE Mid West says agency staff are used "to provide rapid staffing solutions during crises or unexpected surges in demand" as well as "when permanent staff are unavailable due to illness, leave, or vacancies". However, concerns have been raised about the long-term sustainability of such spending, with calls for greater investment in direct recruitment and permanent staffing solutions. Clare FM's Sean Lyons has been speaking with Cllr Rita McInerney, and to discuss what these figures mean for patients, healthcare services and the future of staffing in the region, Alan Morrissey was joined by John Wall, Chairman of HSE Mid West's Patient and Service User Council.

Welcome back to Fintech Recap. I'm Alex Johnson, joined as always by my partner in recapping, Jason Mikula. We kick things off with the accelerating trend of fintech companies becoming banks. Chime's CEO confirmed it's a matter of when, not if — reversing their "we're a software company" stance. Mercury got conditional OCC approval for a national bank charter the same week it raised $200M at a $5.2B valuation. We explore what the fintech-to-bank stampede does to your valuation (our case studies are Chime, SoFi, and LendingClub), and why some companies chartering today might wish they hadn't. Then, BaaS Island calls us back (I'm a sucker for the sirens' song). The OCC issued a consent order against Community Federal Savings Bank, a single-branch institution in Queens that grew from $140M to $900M in assets by running fintech partner programs for Airwallex, Wise, Payoneer, among others. We discuss why the OCC acted, and why the order is unusually narrow. From there, we walk through two executive orders from the White House on fintech and bank regulation and the Federal Reserve's convoluted master account situationship. Finally, in our Can't Let It Gos: Jason can't let go of SpaceX dumping on retail investors as exit liquidity for their VCs, and I can't let go of PayPal's settlement with the DOJ over a fair lending investigation into a program that never made a single loan.

“You don't have to be first to be the best.” What does it take to scale a brand from $20M to $140M in just 12 months?  Luka Kvatchrelishvili (CMO, True Sea Moss) joins hosts Connor Rolain (Head of Growth, HexClad) and Connor MacDonald (CMO, Ridge) to break down how he took a bootstrapped, product-led superfood brand … and scaled it into a nine-figure DTC powerhouse. Luka shares his path from practicing law in Georgia to drop shipping foosball tables to leading a 33-person marketing team. The conversation digs into how Luka diagnosed and fixed True Sea Moss' data infrastructure before touching a single ad, and how a surge in creative volume gave way to a more methodical, outcome-driven testing system. He also gets into the halo effect between Meta spend, Amazon, and retail performance; the power of the LTV-to-CAC cohort report; and how True Sea Moss went from Telegram groups and Trello boards to a marketing-led operation scaling toward half a billion.  Powered By Motion Creative Benchmarks 2026 https://motionapp.com/thumbstop-pulse/creative-benchmarks-2026?utm_campaign=marketing-operators&utm_medium=sponsor&utm_content=creative-benchmarks-2026&utm_source=marketing-operators-podcastSaras Analyticshttps://bit.ly/9OP-Ytdesc Haushttps://www.haus.io/operatorsRichpanelhttps://9ops.co/richpanelAftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Operators Newsletterhttps://9operators.com/

China's silver inventory is shockingly low… and that's not just a bullish signal—it's a warning. ⚠️ While investors may see opportunity, the real concern is global demand. When the London Bullion Market Association faced pressure at 140M ounces, China is reportedly backed by just ~21.3M ounces. For a metal critical to industry, that imbalance could mean serious disruptions ahead.

For many real estate investors, development is the next level of property investing. Instead of renovating, you're building from the ground up, turning dirt into something hundreds or even thousands of people will use daily. But how do you start, get in good graces with the local government, and build projects you can be truly proud of? Kristi Kandel went from zero development experience to running her own office in a year, with undeniable success. She built 30 Family Dollar locations in one of the hardest markets in America—California. But that's not all—she even took on extraordinarily complex projects like building hydrogen fueling stations, something most developers wouldn't even dare to entertain. She's done some of the hardest development jobs and is sharing exactly how you can get your foot in the door, from planning what to build based on your market, to getting the local government on your side, who should be developing, and the mistake that almost cost her millions.  Plus, Kristi shares details on the $140M passion project she's building with public-private partnerships—the kind of legacy project every investor dreams of.  Insights from today's episode: How to get into real estate development, even if you have no experience  The first thing to check before you plan on developing any piece of land  The one person you must get in contact with to get the city's approval One big utility mistake that could have cost Kristi's team millions of dollars How locals can develop in their own communities and stop outside builders from taking over  The one project Kristi says was impossible to finish—and swears she'll never do again — Connect with Kristi on LinkedIn Follow Kristi on Instagram  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

The 2026 MLB season is already delivering drama! The Pittsburgh Pirates locked up superstar prospect Konnor Griffin with a massive 9-year, $140 million extension (up to $150M with incentives) — the largest contract in franchise history, topping Bryan Reynolds' deal. Plus, the Penner Group (owners of the Denver Broncos) has purchased a 40% stake in the Colorado Rockies — a major ownership shift in Denver.

Two weeks into the 2026 MLB season and it is already completely unhinged. Both New York teams are simultaneously on five-game losing streaks — a first in MLB history — and somehow that's not even the wildest part of the week.The Yankees started 8-2 and looked like the class of the AL East. Then the bats went completely silent — a .199 team average, 29th in baseball — and five straight losses followed. The rotation has been elite, but the offense can't cash in. And then Jazz Chisholm Jr., in a contract year where he's demanding $35 million annually, blamed the cold weather for his slow start and then cost his team an extra-innings game by admitting he didn't know the force out rule. His manager's defense? “That's just what he says to reporters.” Which is somehow worse.The Mets aren't in much better shape. Juan Soto is on the IL with a calf strain and not close to being cleared to run. Francisco Lindor — two-time Gold Glover, $341 million man — has been making mental errors his own manager says he's “never seen.” Forgotten outs. Getting picked off adjusting his batting gloves. Leaving second base completely uncovered. Four straight losses and an offense that can't hit with runners in scoring position.Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, Konnor Griffin debuted at 19 years old, played six games, and signed a $140M extension — the richest rookie deal in MLB history, locking him in alongside Cy Young winner Paul Skenes through 2034. José Ramírez hit a home run against his 29th different team AND broke a franchise games-played record that had stood since 1918 — in the same week. Mason Miller still hasn't allowed a run since last season. And Drake Baldwin is leading the league in RBIs through two weeks.Two weeks in. We're already losing our minds.Tap into Episode 721 of the Productive Conversations Podcast—available now on all podcast platforms and YouTubeYankees (4:40)Jazz Chisholm (13:52)Mets (25:19)Konnor Griffin (32:37)Stats of the Week (40:15)Early Standing Surprises (50:30)ABS System thoughts (58:23)---------------#trending #podcast #podcast #podcasts #baseball #mlbBest way to contact our host is by emailing him at productiveconversationspodcast@gmail.com or mbrown3212@gmail.com Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/productive-conversations-with-matt-brown/id1535871441 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7qCsxuzYYoeqALrWu4x4Kb YouTube: @Productive_Conversations  Linktree:https://linktr.ee/productiveconversations

Jordan Walker has spent the last two weeks doing things we've never seen him do before. Through 12 games, he's leading Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani in fWAR, he launched a 459-foot grand slam to dead center off an 88 mph fastball, and — maybe most telling — he finally reacted to a called strike three in the box. For the first time in years, Jordan Walker looks like he cares, and it's showing up everywhere on the field.We also check in on JJ Wetherholt, who would be the story of the Cardinals' first two weeks if Walker wasn't on fire. Five walks vs. five strikeouts in week two, the best defensive range of any second baseman in baseball, and looking every bit the player we hoped he'd be. Plus: Gorman is fading, Victor Scott still hasn't taken a walk, and the starting rotation had a rough week from top to bottom.On the news side: the Cardinals finally finished the Sonny Gray trade, a Pozo rant, the Joe Adell three-home-run-robbery game, Konnor Griffin's nine-year $140M extension with the Pirates and what it means for a JJ Wetherholt deal, and a preview of the Red Sox and Guardians series.Ben also reports back from the Coors Field front lines with his field review of the Aramark pizza donut, including how long he had to wait, how many pepperonis were on it, and why donut holes are a structural problem in pizza engineering.We close out with another round of Theme Night or Dream Night, where Ben has to guess which wacky Busch Stadium promo nights are real and which ones Nate made up.

It was such a notable day in Pirates history, there were fans asking Bob Nutting for his autograph. Who would have expected that? His approval rating may never be higher than it is right now. The Pirates had an aggressive approach this offseason, but have they completely flipped some of their biggest haters? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Some folks found a way to take the comments from Paul Skenes in a negative light after the ace said Konnor Griffin will be the ‘face' of the franchise for years to come. Jeff doesn't think that was a move by Skenes to indicate he won't be around long. Why did Griffin get the day off, until he entered it as a pinch-hitter late? Jeff was stunned to see Bob Nutting signing autographs before the finale at PNC Park today. Judge Donny – Should Paul Skenes sign a 4-year, $140M deal, if offered by the Pirates?

Most business owners don't realize they're building an exit they can't afford. On this episode of The Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, host Seth Greene sits down with Marc Adams, founder of Acquisitions4U, who shares a deeply personal story that transformed his approach to private equity and business growth.  After being diagnosed with stage four cancer during the pandemic and told he had just six months to live, Marc was confronted with a life changing question from his 10-year-old son about what happens to business owners who never get to sell. That moment became the catalyst for the Double and Keep It Framework, designed to help founders of sub-$50 million companies dramatically increase enterprise value. Without giving up equity or taking on burdensome debt, Marc shows entrepreneurs how to exit with significantly more capital. This episode is a masterclass on purpose driven capital, smarter exits, and rethinking how founders truly monetize what they have built.  Key Takeaways: →   Nine out of ten privately held businesses never achieve the valuation owners expect or fail to sell at all. This is often due to poor exit planning and fee erosion.  →   A business generating $750K in EBITDA may only command 1–2x multiples, but when aggregated into a larger $5M+ EBITDA group, valuation multiples can expand dramatically.  →   Waiting until you're “ready to retire” often means discovering too late that taxes, fees, and valuation discounts can erode 30–50% of the sale proceeds.  →   No Equity Dilution, No Debt Servicing  →   Pivoting from traditional private equity to founder-focused value creation was fueled by personal adversity and a commitment to helping families secure financial futures.  Marc Adams is a strategy mentor and business-exit planner who helps founder-led companies double enterprise value in 12–24 months and structure tax-efficient exits—without heavy dilution or personal guarantees. He's helped take a company from roughly $140M to a $1B valuation and led a loss-making $18M-revenue business to a $140M exit. A bestselling author with Times Square features, Marc works closely with family offices and private capital, giving founders a practical, buyer-aligned playbook for value creation, clean diligence, and better after-tax outcomes.  Connect With Marc: Website:  https://acquisitions4you.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadams/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.

From Wall Street to humanoid robotics, Andrew Kiguel has built a career at the edge of what's next—and in this episode, he sits down with Jess to unpack what it actually takes to bet on the future before it's obvious. Andrew, CEO of Realbotix, shares how his journey through investment banking, crypto mining, and high-growth ventures led him to one of the most controversial and fascinating frontiers today: human-like AI robots. From building a $140M revenue crypto company to now developing lifelike robots that can see, speak, and emotionally interact, Andrew explains why he believes robotics will move beyond novelty into real, human-centered utility. The conversation dives into big, uncomfortable questions—loneliness, human connection, and whether AI should supplement or replace parts of our lives. Andrew breaks down how Realbotix is approaching this differently: designing robots that feel human, not mechanical, and focusing on real-world use cases like elder care, hospitality, education, and companionship. But this episode is just as much about entrepreneurship as it is about technology. Andrew shares hard-earned lessons on raising capital, managing self-doubt, making high-stakes decisions, and building conviction when everyone else thinks you're wrong. It's a candid look at what it feels like to operate in uncertainty—and why the biggest opportunities often live there. This is a conversation about risk, vision, and the future of human-AI interaction—and what it really means to build something bold when the world isn't quite ready for it yet.

How can founders increase the value of their business before selling—and keep more of the proceeds after the exit? In this episode of the Grow & Learn Podcast by Grownlearn, host Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Marc Adams, strategy mentor and founder of Acquisitions4You, about how entrepreneurs can increase company valuation and prepare for a smarter, more tax-efficient exit. Marc works with founders, investors, and family offices to help businesses grow enterprise value within 12–24 months, often without giving up equity or signing personal guarantees. His approach focuses on strategic acquisitions, consolidation of fragmented markets, and positioning businesses for higher valuation multiples before a sale. Marc shares insights from his “Double & Keep It” framework, which helps business owners grow valuation while avoiding the common trap where founders lose 30–50% of their sale proceeds through taxes, fees, and poorly structured deals. In this conversation we discuss: • Why most business owners are not prepared to sell their company • How acquisitions can dramatically increase enterprise value • How founders can structure tax-efficient exits • Why exit planning should begin years before selling • How family office capital can support strategic growth Marc also shares how a life-changing stage-4 cancer diagnosis during COVID reshaped his perspective on risk, legacy, and helping founders protect the value they build. If you are a founder, entrepreneur, investor, or business owner considering scaling or eventually exiting your company, this episode offers practical insights on business valuation, strategic acquisitions, and exit preparation. ________________________________________

Most business owners don't realize they're building an exit they can't afford. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Marc Adams, Strategy Mentor & Business Exit Planner at Acquisitions4You, who shares how his work has helped provide $22B in funding support and why he now focuses on helping founders double business value in 12 months or less. After a stage-four cancer diagnosis during the pandemic and a life-changing conversation with his son, Marc pivoted his mission toward helping the “nine out of ten” owners who never get the outcome they need. He explains the Double and Keep It framework, designed to grow value fast while protecting owners from the usual traps of dilution, debt burdens, and painful exit costs. Key Takeaways:→ Most business owners don't get the value they expect when it's time to sell.→ Exit-math can be brutal, especially in states with high taxes. → Traditional private equity doesn't solve the real problem. → The “double and keep it” framework aims to achieve value growth without dilution or debt service. → This framework is meant to create a real retirement-grade exit.

This has gotten some traction and deserves a look. Context is required. The Middle East Forum wrote an investigative article claiming that the church was one of the major US donors to charities associated with Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood. There are certainly some red flags, but we need to understand how the Middle East works. And this is not the first time these allegations have been made. Website: cwicmedia.com

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Eddie Dilleen to reflect on a decade of growth and the strategies behind building a 180-asset portfolio. Dilleen shares how he grew from owning fewer than 10 properties to more than 180 assets valued at around $140 million, far exceeding what he once imagined possible. He said that over the years, he had adapted his strategy, shifting from individual purchases to buying blocks of units and townhouses to unlock equity more quickly and accelerate reinvestment. He outlines how securing assets at below-market value and creating instant equity have enabled him to recycle capital and grow without relying on passive appreciation. Dilleen also discusses managing stress, staying focused on progress, and treating every challenge as an opportunity to improve his strategy. He explains that long-term thinking, resilience, and problem-solving have been central to navigating market cycles and scaling consistently over time. Beyond building wealth, Dilleen reflects on the importance of creating a generational asset while instilling discipline and a work ethic in the next generation.

What makes a leader truly unfuckwithable?

Peter Kennedy is a father of five, entrepreneur, spiritual seeker, and author of The Remembering. Once driven by a relentless pursuit of success, culminating in the 140M dollar exit of his tech startup. His awakening came not from achievement, but from surrender. Today, he is the co-founder of EvolveWell Inc., a conscious technology company redefining growth from the inside out. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Fear is worse than death. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly build their lives around fear rather than love. 2. True values aren't what you say, they're what you do. Your behavior reveals your real priorities. 3. Healing and transformation don't happen in your mind, they require surrender, embodiment, and listening to your intuition.
