The copy-paste hack that stole $150K. CrowdStrike and federal authorities dismantled Sality, a botnet that spent eight years swapping copied wallet addresses for the attacker's, so victims unknowingly sent crypto to a stranger. The fix is simple: check the first and last characters of any address after you paste it.

You're booked solid. All the creative projects you wanted. All the clients saying yes. Your portfolio is overflowing. But you're exhausted. Overworked. The money isn't matching the hustle. And you're wondering if building a bigger creative business means becoming a manager of people you don't want to manage. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Laura Higgins, who went from struggling with pricing and positioning to building a multi-seven-figure creative business. More importantly, she did it without losing the freedom, fun, or creativity that makes the work worth doing. Here's what most creatives don't realize: being good at your craft isn't enough. A photographer can take stunning photos. A designer can create beautiful work. An agency owner can deliver incredible results. But when it comes to pricing, selling, marketing, and building systems? Most creatives freeze. We talk about how Laura got the "niche slap" early on, shifted her entire positioning, and built a tiered system that serves creatives at every stage-from beginners to six-figure earners making $150K/month. What you'll learn: → Get the niche slap - Why serving everyone means helping no one (and how narrowing down changes everything) → Solve for what they don't want - Why negative positioning attracts better clients than positive promises → Build a tiered approach - How to serve different avatars at different revenue stages with different offers → Promise identity, not income - Why shifting from "make $30K/month" to "become this version of yourself" keeps clients longer → The creative business problem - Why photographers, designers, and agencies stay booked but broke → How to position yourself as the expert in the creative space → The benchmark that works (and why it matters for your pricing) Real insights from the episode: Laura's journey from starting a creative business at 23 with no idea how to sell The moment Colin told her "you're serving too many people" (the niche slap) How she started with a $9 product (Fully Booked) to filter for the right people Why her original promise of "$5K to $30K/month" had people leaving when they hit $30K How shifting to a $10K/month benchmark changed her entire business The difference between marketing to income vs identity Why some clients want $30K/month with 20 hours of work, others want $150K/month with a small team How creatives lose their creativity when they scale (and how to prevent it) The role of messaging when different people have different goals Why "what they don't want" matters more than "what they do want" Connect with Laura on Instagram @laurahiggins (it's aura, not laura, because she's Australian). DM her, tell her you listened to The Expert Edge. She's crushing it in the creative space and if you're a photographer, designer, web designer, or agency owner looking to scale without losing your mind, check out her work.

Jeff Mains sits down with Asaf Katz — founder of LinkedOtter, host of the Risk Takers show, and a veteran of taking a company public on the ASX, building an "Uber for trucks," navigating a cannabis IPO wave, and doing military cybersecurity work — to unpack why traditional cold outreach (LinkedIn DMs, cold email, "just checking in" follow-ups) has stopped working. Asaf's replacement thesis: live, trust-building events beat cold pitching every time. He breaks down the exact methodology his agency used to generate 350+ organic signups for a single LinkedIn event, how to turn event attendees into real sales conversations without pitching, and the three ingredients every successful event needs (a hot topic, an attractive character, and a warm audience). The conversation also dives into the "SaaSpocalypse" — what AI-driven pricing collapse means for subscription businesses — and closes with Asaf's story of building his own live-event platform from scratch using Claude, with zero coding background, in a matter of weeks.Key Takeaways4:45 – Asaf joins the show; quick recap of his background across cybersecurity, edtech, trucking, and cannabis IPOs.9:19 – Why cold outreach dies without proof: "dial your intention" based on what social proof you actually have.12:59 – How ChatGPT-era automation flooded inboxes and killed the effectiveness of even great copywriting.13:36 – Introducing "Growth With Events": running live LinkedIn shows instead of webinars — 350 organic signups, 50% connection-acceptance rate.16:04 – The SaaSpocalypse: why AI-driven price compression is breaking the sales-led SaaS math ($150K deals, $200K AEs, LinkedIn lead costs).17:34 – Why every high-ticket SaaS is really being bought with a human/advisory layer attached — and how outcome-based pricing brings that back.23:13 – The origin story: a failed 13-person webinar that led Asaf to reverse-engineer the 3 components of a guaranteed-to-succeed event.25:09 – Case study: inviting a viral LinkedIn poster as guest speaker → 750 organic signups, dozens of sales calls, zero pitching.28:08 – The "who else should I talk to?" hack for turning post-interview goodwill into warm referrals.31:24 – Building Risk Takers as a personal media platform separate from client work, and the Dream 100 concept applied to LinkedIn audiences.36:15 – Hosting events on your own website (not Zoom) to capture buyer-intent signals like page visits during the show.40:25 – Building his own event platform with Claude from scratch: the new "AI recommends the tool" buying mechanism and what it means for SaaS marketing.44:08 – Where to find Asaf, LinkedOtter, and Risk Takers.Tweetable Quotes"The outreach approach really needs to be a function of how confident you are in your product." — Asaf Katz, 14:08"No one goes on a website... even when people search on LLMs and they ask for market research, they ask to exclude vendor websites." — Asaf Katz, 21:38"Trust doesn't scale through automation. It scales through the room." — Jeff Mains, 46:00"How about I build less, you pay me less, but we're all actually profiting more." — Asaf Katz, 18:59"It's fairly easy to organize. LinkedIn is really good for building that authority." — Asaf Katz, 20:56SaaS Leadership LessonsMatch your ask to your proof. If you don't have case studies or an MVP, don't pitch — ask for feedback, then convert that feedback call into a sales opportunity later.Events beat cold outreach for high-ACV deals. Once your ticket price crosses $5K–$10K/year, live, trust-building events consistently outperform cold DMs and email.Watch the SaaSpocalypse. AI-driven price compression is breaking the sales-led SaaS model — if AEs and lead costs assumed $150K deals, a forced 80% price cut wrecks your go-to-market math.Bring the human element back into your pricing. High-value SaaS is rarely bought as pure software — it's bought with advisory/consultancy attached. Outcome-based pricing formalizes that.Build less, ship what actually drives value. Most features go unused (the Pareto 20%); cutting scope and pricing accordingly can make everyone more profitable.Own your platform and your audience. Don't just rent other people's LinkedIn followings — run events on your own site to capture buyer-intent data and convert borrowed attention into an owned network over time.Guest Resourcesasaf@linkedotter.comhttps://linkedotter.com/ https://asafkatz.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Asaf.Katz1https://www.linkedin.com/in/asafkatzEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

James Bruce shares his raw recovery story: a catastrophic $50K loss in one day due to a trade copier error on New Year's Eve 2021, followed by a brutal seven-month drawdown that nearly broke him. The key lesson: don't make trading your identity. After making $150K in 2020, he hit rock bottom but stayed locked in because he'd proven it was possible before. Learn why sizing down matters, how to rebuild after massive losses, the importance of having income outside trading, and why showing losses publicly (not just wins) is critical for the trading community. From near-bankruptcy to $70K+ in payouts, this is the unfiltered truth about trader recovery.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate the Cleveland Browns' potential record and whether the franchise should focus on evaluation over tanking. They also analyze shifting player loyalty in college football through the lens of Jeremiah Smith and express frustration over Ohio State's new luxury end zone suites. 01:50 - Ohio State QB Recruits 05:10 - Browns Tanking Debate 09:48 - Denzel Ward's Impact 13:35 - NIL Regulation Discussion 18:21 - Transfer Portal Impact 21:30 - Coaching Salaries in NIL 32:02 - Guardians Win Streak 35:41 - Ohio State Luxury Suites 39:10 - NFL Pro Bowl Changes

Ken and Anthony recap the Guardians tying their season-long win streak at seven after sweeping the Angels, with Steven Kwan's remarkable turnaround since the All-Star break taking center stage. They marvel at his climb from under .200 to .270 with a red-hot road trip, question whether Cleveland will actually pay to keep him, and take some shots at the Angels' organization along the way. The show wraps with a look at Ohio State's controversial new $150K premium suites blocking student sightlines and the NFL officially scrapping the Pro Bowl.

Wendy Valentine — author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play and host of the Midlife Makeover Show — joins Heather for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about rebuilding a life from the ground up. At 45, Wendy hit a full-on midlife meltdown: divorce, job loss, over $150K in debt, an empty nest, chronic illness, and the deaths of her dog, cat, and brother — all within weeks of each other. Instead of staying stuck, she chased a long-held dream of RVing across the country and completely reconstructed her life within two years. In this episode, Wendy and Heather dig into what it really means to "lean into your destiny," why midlife often feels less like a crisis and more like a coma we need to wake up from, how to grieve fully instead of stuffing it down, the "lotus effect" and being in the mud without being of it, and how to become your own best friend by rewiring the stories running through your head. It's a conversation about permission — to feel, to grieve, to change, and to finally show up for yourself.

$26,300 cash to close on a $102,000 wholesale DSCR deal. Paper math said 9% return. Real math said he was losing $1,400 a year.Welcome to Real Deal Audit, a new series on Chasing Financial Freedom where Ryan takes an actual DSCR closing and walks through the math on camera the same way he would if you brought it to him at his desk.In this episode, Ryan breaks down the difference between paper cash flow (what most investors calculate) and real cash flow (what actually hits your bank account after operating reserves). He walks through the closing line by line for a sub-$100K wholesale acquisition: $85,000 to the seller, $17,000 to the wholesaler as an assignment fee, and $5,900 in traditional closing costs. Then he shows the sub-$100K rate premium that DSCR lenders never mention (an extra 0.5% on the rate compared to what a $150K+ loan at the same credit tier would be priced at).The episode covers the four numbers every wholesale DSCR investor must calculate before sending the wire: total cash to close, including the wholesale fee; real monthly cash flow after operating reserves; cash-on-cash return using actual invested capital; and breakeven timeline on cash flow alone.Wholesalers are a legitimate part of the industry. Ryan works with wholesalers regularly, and the $17,000 assignment fee on this deal was earned. The issue is that most investors run paper cash flow and never touch the real numbers. This audit shows you what the real numbers look like and provides the framework to decide whether a wholesale deal still makes sense once the fee is included in your cost basis.Wholesale deals are not bad. Wholesale math the investor does not run is bad.

If you're on an income-driven repayment plan, you might be paying a marginal tax rate that rivals (or exceeds) those in high-tax countries. We walk through exactly how that number gets built, showing how many borrowers effectively lose close to half of every additional dollar earned. We get practical about how this impacts your investment strategy, spending habits, and even decisions like working less. I also break down why pre-tax savings accounts (and careful house/car choices) can buy you back weeks of life — and sanity.Key moments:(00:00) Why an income-driven borrower's tax rate rivals Sweden's(04:44) How a $150K salary hits a 47.55% marginal tax rate(08:51) Using dependent care FSAs and HSAs to effectively get “50% off”(16:22) How driving a modest car or working less can radically impact your life after taxesResource mentioned: Afford Anything podcast by Paula PantLike the show?

Niklas quit law school to install CCTV cameras in iPhone repair shops. Eight years later he sold that business to private equity at 26. Then he went after the most boring software in the world: the 1997 tool engineers use to design the wiring and plumbing inside buildings. He spent $150K on a website before he had a product and DM'd engineers on Reddit to find his first users. His first month of sales was $1.5M, all enterprise.

Keith explains why achieving scale rather than simply earning more is the key to long-term financial freedom and how income property uniquely delivers multiple forms of leverage.  He breaks down 25 years of inflation data to reveal which everyday costs have most outpaced wages and what that means for the real purchasing power of the dollar.  Keith also explains why markets like Memphis—combining strong cash flow fundamentals with a massive new AI infrastructure build-out—are positioned as compelling targets for long-term real estate investors.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:49   Welcome to GRE from Livonia, Michigan, to Laconia, New Hampshire, and across 188 nations worldwide. You are listening to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, heading up this slackjaw operation for another wealth-building week. But at least I'm just a slackjaw. If this slackjaw gets lockjaw, it would probably end the show. Now I've got to tell you, when I meet a 25-year-old, I soon tend to learn about their job because it takes a lot of their time, even if I don't ask them about it, and I find out that a 25-year-old is usually an employee of some sort. They're working for somebody else, depending on our conversational flow. I ask that person this question: Have you considered adding scale to your life? And they usually don't know what I mean. I ask that question because, sadly, today it's less common to live an economically vibrant life if you have a quote normal job like a teacher, engineer, retail manager, app developer, or other normal jobs like a firefighter, truck driver, physical therapist, or social media manager, that is not going to lead to an economically vibrant life with options and freedom. I mean, you used to be able to raise a family of four in New York City. That opportunity is just gone for anyone under a certain age. Well, what about say doctors, corporate executives, and attorneys, including some people that might be older than 25. I mean, professions like this can still pay exceptionally well. But even white-collar careers now have AI breathing down their necks. AI is drafting briefs, reading scans, and virtually attending meetings without pretending to enjoy them. Okay, well, what about the outcome for a 25-year-old that's gone along with the somewhat more nascent trend of rising AI sheltered trades like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, carpentry, equipment repair, and these other types of jobs where ChatGPT can't crawl beneath your sink. Look, here's the thing: it doesn't matter whether you wear scrubs, a suit, or a tool belt. Employment has one stubborn limitation: even if you grind hard, even if your body holds up, even if promotions help you climb to the top of the corporate ladder, when you stop working, the income stops. That's the big problem, and yet people keep designing their life this way, employees lack scale. Now, what is scale? Scale is your ability to increase your wealth or income without increasing your personal time and effort at the same rate. Now, employees can find just a little scale. 401k contributions can compound for decades, sometimes with an employer match. Some employees receive stock compensation or bonuses, but employees generally sell one unit at a time. That unit is an hour. They're selling their hours for dollars, and here scale is limited, if not impossible. Real estate investors can stack several forms of scale simultaneously, and remarkably, doing it takes zero certification, zero qualification, no license, and no permission slip from the dean.   Keith Weinhold  6:05   The first way real estate investors have scale is through something that you already know so well: real estate pays five ways, leverage appreciation, 10 funded income, loan amortization, tax benefits on the entire asset, and inflation profiting on the bank's loan. Secondly, as a real estate investor, you have scale through operational leverage. Property managers, leasing agents, contractors, lenders, insurers, and software all allow just one investor, you, to control multiple properties. You don't personally collect every rent payment or replace every water heater. I mean, sheesh, that could be a plumbing career with less sleep. And this is all tenant funded. Thirdly, real estate investors have geographic leverage. An individual investor living in Los Angeles can own property in Atlanta, Tulsa, Cleveland, and Belize. Physical location does not limit where your capital works. Your body can only work in one city. Your capital can work the night shift in five. The fourth way real estate investors have scale is with replication. Once you learn how to buy and own one suitable rental, the process can be repeated. You buy, stabilize, finance, rent, and repeat. See, the first property is the hardest, and then your second property does not require learning an entirely new profession. It can be replicated. To review what you've learned so far, those are four dimensions where real estate investors achieve scale through real estate pays five ways: operational leverage, geographic leverage, and replication. Here's the important distinction: employees often mistake earning more with achieving scale.   Keith Weinhold  8:16   A surgeon making $900,000 a year earns a nice income, but see that surgeon has limited scale if the income stops when the surgeon stops working. But an investor earning just $150,000 from a portfolio possesses more scale because dozens of tenants, properties, loans, and operating systems continue functioning without your one-for-one labor. That's the distinction. That's why the $150K investor might or might not be living a better life than the 900K surgeon now, but they are set up to live a better life than the surgeon in the future. Now, your employer, the person who hires you, has scale with their many employees. But if you're an employee, you probably don't have scale. You cannot save your way to scale either. That's just stored labor. Savings become scalable only when you convert them into productive assets. Income is how much money comes in. Scale is how little your personal time needs to increase for more money to come in. You can work 20% more hours, but you cannot sustainably work 10 times more hours. Capital can be deployed across 10 assets without requiring 10 times more personal effort. And you know, once I realized this, at a certain point in my life, I was motivated to obtain loans for rental. This helped me scale and own more, replacing my active income with mostly passive income sooner. All right, so what should you do when you have this epiphany? It doesn't mean you should flip over the stupid copier machine as you storm out of work today and announce that you are now a real estate magnet. Not right away, at least employment that can be your launchpad, just like it was for me when I was a humble construction materials inspector for the state DOT. A job does provide you with some benefits like short-term advantages, seed capital, mortgage qualification.   Keith Weinhold  10:45   I'm talking about health insurance and some steady cash flow, and even some skills. But the mistake, whether you are aged 25 or 55, is allowing employment to remain the only economic engine for your entire life. Your job can fund your future, but having just one single linear income source that should not be your entire future. But you know, some people just stay on lazy cruise control at a slow speed and let their life unfurl that way. Others, you know, they merely haven't been exposed to thinking this way, and fortunately, now you have been. Really, the bottom line here is that labor won't scale; capital does scale; it compounds, and few, if any, investments offer more dimensions of scale than real estate. And you also get all kinds of other ancillary benefits by gradually tilting away from active income and toward passive income. Because increasingly, when it comes to taxes, you're going to pay lower capital gains tax rates instead of the higher ordinary income rates. The sooner you optimize this and get into as many properties as you can, you're also going to gain the ability to borrow against your assets tax-free, and so much more. Scale or fail-that's the lesson here, and most people fear change. It's why they stay stuck in relationships longer than they should, and why they stay stuck in jobs longer than they should. They keep settling for a B plus life. Don't settle for a B plus life. This is something that NYU professor Susie Welsh talks about: If you have a D life, oh, everything is lousy. You don't live where you want to live. You don't have reliable transportation. You don't have friends, and you're so very motivated to change that. If you have an A plus life, you've got it all. You get to do what you want to do, who you want to do it with, and you're tremendously incentivized to keep that. But having a B plus life like so many do, and being stuck in it, that is the most dangerous place to be. You could tread water for years and stay stuck in a life that you know you're not fully satisfied with, but it isn't so terrible that you feel compelled to change it. So the people that grow wealth know it means that sometimes you have to give up the good to have the great, and the K-shaped economic divergence that we've had in the past five years. This is really bringing things to a head, so get scale.   Keith Weinhold  13:43   Scale is the difference between grasping the financial abundance that's available to move you toward that A plus life, or staying on the treadmill, stuck and struggling. Two different people living a B plus life, you know, they have the same starting point, and making a plan is your difference maker. We help you with that here. If you're ready to add real estate scale to your financial life, drop a quick email to GRE Investment Coach Naresh for a complimentary strategy session at Naresh at getricheducation.com. You don't need any qualifications. It can take as little as a 20% down payment on a 200k to 400k rental property, and we have access so that you can buy directly from the builders and get a mortgage rate in the fives. And we are chasing the next hot thing here. Last week we discussed co-living on the show. We waited until that strategy was proven. I like strategies that have had some contact with reality. AI can compose a song, or summarize a meeting, or fabricate a photo of some. Wacky like Abraham Lincoln riding a dolphin, but it still cannot download an affordable bedroom, affordable housing. You're scaling into something sustainable that has a future and can't be easily disrupted by AI. Scale or fail. Stop settling for the B plus life. We can help right now at this moment. Drop a quick email to naresh@getricheducation.com. I should spell that out for you. It's n a r e s h@getricheducation.com.   Keith Weinhold  15:36   More straight ahead. I'm Keith Weinhold.

A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value.

Listen to Get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  17:33   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Having residual income from real estate, it can make you more comfortable for sure, but for me, I like to primarily use it to buy back my time. I'll tell you how I just did this. It's a small thing, a small win. It is time for my car's annual routine maintenance. Boring. I really don't want to lose my time dropping it off at the dealership in the morning and then picking it up again. Those two boring round trips don't add anything to my life. But the dealership had the option of, for just 100 bucks, picking it up for me and dropping it off for me at the end of the day. Oh well, that is an opportunity for me to buy some time, so that's why I did that. Now, when it comes to flying, sometimes I fly coach and sometimes first class. I just booked a flight and I refused to pay six times as much for first class. It just wasn't really worth it this time because the experience isn't that much better, and it sure doesn't save me any time. I tend to do that if the price is just 3x more, so I'll pay to save time, but not always to borrow a wider seat for five hours. And you and I both make hundreds of time versus money decisions every day, most of them small.   Keith Weinhold  19:04   With the more residual income you have, you're gonna make better decisions where you can choose the time over the money. One thing's for sure: whatever we're doing with our money, and that is that our dollar does not go as far as it used to. Let's look at inflation during the first 25 years of this century. This is really interesting. We're going to see how the cost of goods and services has changed from 2000 to the end of 2025 on some select categories that you spend on, and then I've got some mind-bending takeaways for you once I describe this chart, and this is the same chart that I sent to you last Thursday. If you are one of my newsletter readers, but I can open up and talk about it more here than I can in the newsletter because I keep that short. Overall inflation is about. 93% during this time period. 93% over these 25 years. Now, here are the items that rose less than that much, meaning that they became then more affordable over this span. What fell the most is the price of televisions down more than 90% in the first 25 years of this century? Toys down 74% Computer software down 73% Cell phones down 44% By the way, this all uses the government's CPI inflation rate, clothing up just one and a half percent, and even though it's up, that's still more affordable because it's up less than the overall 93% CPI inflation rate over this span. Household furnishings up 21% and finally new cars up 26% So all those items became more affordable because they rose less than the general rate of inflation. All right, moving on up. Now we're going to go above the line. Items above the 93% overall inflation rate, food and beverages were up 106% housing up 111% average hourly wages up 131% All right, let's pause. Yes, wages then outpacing 93% inflation. but of course, since that 93% uses the government CPI, well, that's pretty understated. Probably, you know, the true dispersing power of the dollar is probably more than 93% So it's debatable about whether there are real wage gains from 2000 to the end of 2025, medical care services up 147% Next in the category that has become less affordable is childcare, up 159% And as I'm naming these, there are some common threads here where I think you're going to have a few epiphanies when I point them out. College textbooks up 177%. Sheesh, what a scam! College tuition and fees up 197%, and finally the major category that became less affordable here at the top is the worst of all: hospital services. They have soared the most, up over 281% All right, there they are.   Keith Weinhold  22:57   And what takeaways do we have here? The items that became less affordable tend to be where the government either provides subsidies or they heavily regulate and mandate the product or service, like education, child care, and medical care. The categories that have become more affordable-that's where there is little or minimal government intervention, like clothing and technology. The lesson is that free market competition kept prices low, and some of these categories that became more affordable-you know-they would have become even more affordable than that if it weren't for profligate dollar printing, sadly, the items that have become less affordable-and this could really upset you-the items whose price increases exceed the overall rate of inflation, like medical care and housing, these are life's necessities. They are not once the stuff you need most got harder to obtain, healthcare is the ultimate example of this. It's sad to say, but you'll either pay the fee or you'll die, and the price reflects this. With hospital services up 281% outpacing the overall rate of inflation by about 3x. Also, items that have become more affordable, they are then generally the more discretionary purchases like furnishings, toys, and televisions. You can live without that stuff. Items that have become less affordable. They also tend to be more in-sourced activity, while those more affordable are outsourced, like to China. If you've noticed the trend, then anything involving people in the United States will be expensive, like child. Care and medical care. It involves people in the United States, and then it just gets more and more expensive. And this is also why service prices increase more and goods prices increase less. People are expensive.   Keith Weinhold  25:18   Microchips don't ask for dental insurance, and microchips don't file sexual harassment lawsuits. Overall, inflation was just 2.66% per year during this time period. But when it's compounded for this long, that's how it got to 93% cumulatively. But of course, inflation is higher than this 2.66 rate here in the late 2020s, and inflation is poised to rise even more than the level that it's at now. The war in Iran has pushed up energy prices 24% and these costs seep into almost everything, all right. But you're probably aware of this already, so I'm not going to discuss it much more because I discussed that before, like on episode 606, nearly two months ago when I called it our most important message in years, all right. But few seem to understand that this is just one part of a new inflation triple whammy. First, you've got spiking energy prices, like I mentioned. Second, more U.S. tariffs, and third, you've got mushrooming AI spending, and as a result of all this, this new inflation triple whammy that most people aren't aware of, this has pushed up bond yields to their highest point since 2007, and pressure is mounting for the Fed to jack up rates. Mortgage rates are soaring right along with them, and they are now near 7% Could mortgage rates reach 8% This is a real question now. The bottom line here is that inflation made the dollar lose nearly half its purchasing power in the first quarter century. Real asset owners will win, especially leveraged income property owners. This raises the property's replacement costs, spikes rents, and erodes your mortgage's real burden. Nearly everyone else is going to lose, and I don't want to lose a learning moment for you here. Bond yields-they are closely tied to what future mortgage rates are going to be. It's not about what the Fed does, and this is not as esoteric as some people think. This correlation between inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. Bonds pay a fixed interest rate long term.   Keith Weinhold  28:01   For example, the 10-year Treasury bond right now pays about 4.7% each year for the next 10 years. That's what that means. Now, would you lock in your investment for 10 years in order to get a 4.7% return? Well, if you were a conservative investor, maybe you would if you knew that inflation was only going to be 2% because then you'd be making about a 2.7% real return on your investment each year risk free. But if you expect inflation was going to be 5% over the next 10 years, oh well, then locking in a return of 4.7% means that you would lose real purchasing power every year. Investors don't want to lose money, so if investors expect that inflation is going to be higher, they will only buy bonds if they're paying higher amounts. And the bond market is telling us that as of today, investors expect at least 4.7% inflation over the next 10 years. If things change and they expect inflation to be higher than that, well, then bond yields will go up. If they expect inflation to decrease, for example, from a recession, bond yields will go down. So therefore, Treasury bonds are a true representation of investor inflation expectations and the movement of that bond yield-that is the number one factor that moves mortgage rates in that same direction. There's your explanation. That wasn't so hard. The market does not believe we're going to escape the Middle East war without substantial inflation or energy supply chain issues. That's what that means. Now, what else is going on in this era is the continuation of a reduction in the volume. Of housing transactions, fewer deals are happening. It had its recent peak of 6 million existing homes changing hands back in 2021. In 2022, it was 5 million, and it's been about 4 million transactions every year since. Now, as far as investor activity, just looking at that, for big investors, activity that's been sideways to a little down these past few years. But let's look at ourselves for smaller investors, mom and pop types, defined as those doing 10 or fewer deals per year, which probably includes you. You know, each of the past three years, activity has been up for smaller investors like you. You have gradually been purchasing more property, and this is as reported by realtor.com. Okay, what are the reasons for this?   Keith Weinhold  30:55   Well, back during the pandemic, you had to compete with owner-occupied buyers, that's when open house lines stretch down the block, and today there are fewer bidders in the room, and small investors are buying because builders are buying down your mortgage rate for you. That's another reason, and the source analysis it found that investors are sticking to affordable Midwest and Sun Belt markets that have strong rental demand. In fact, they're buying at least one out of every five homes in Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Birmingham, and Oklahoma City. Real estate providers know that some prospective owner-occupant homeowners and even some investors-they won't buy anything at today's market mortgage rates, even though you and I know that these rates are historically normal. But providers-they need to stay in business. They need to keep turning things over. They need to sell property. They need to keep their people busy. They're not running museums here, so they're making sure that mortgage rate buydowns happen. And one of the most lucrative sources that I know about for investors is Mid South Homebuyers because they have investment property where the numbers work in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas with mortgage rates in the fives and a conventional loan with 25% down. A lot of their income properties cost under 200k, and these are quality homes in decent neighborhoods. I've physically walked inside many of them myself, not by drone, not with a virtual tour, not by AI, and not through some glossy brochure with suspiciously perfect lighting. The reason I'm telling you about this now is that this mortgage rate is one part of their limited triple five program. Here's what else we get as investors: a mortgage rate near 5% like I mentioned, and a 5% property management fee for five years. Though leverage has its benefits, if you decide to pay all cash instead, they provide you with the 5% property management for life, even if you finance later. I think they call that their forever five. Frankly, it's just amazing how many investors rave about the quality of their rehabs and say that their property management never seems to mess up in this industry. I mean, that is about as common as a calm political debate, or perhaps an airline actually improving legroom, and I have helped recommend Mid Health Homebuyers to our listeners for over 11 years. I know some followers that have looked at their available properties and scooped up three properties on one phone call. In fact, where they're based and have a lot of their available properties, Memphis. You know, Memphis has a story where I don't know if any other market in America can tell it right now. Do you know what's happening? Memphis is developing into having both the new brains and the brawn behind AI, and you got more smart money moving there now. Memphis is now home to the world's largest AI supercomputer. It's XAI's Colossus. It's now part of SpaceX. It's the biggest single-site AI facility on the entire planet. Anthropic is paying over a billion dollars a month to run Claude on it. Google just signed a deal worth up to 30 billion starting october 1, and I look forward to announcing that I have got a live event that I am co-hosting for you the day before this happens on september 30.   Keith Weinhold  34:56   So yes, that's the night before Google's money starts flowing. Into Memphis in one year, XAI became the second largest taxpayer in Memphis after FedEx, and the city has committed 25% of the property tax revenue from those sites to infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhoods. And when you add in FedEx, because Memphis already moves more physical goods than anywhere else in the country, you can see how Memphis is increasingly becoming the brains of the digital economy, while it's already been the brawn of the physical one. In every other market, you know they showcase things like their population growth and the rent-to-price ratios, and those attributes certainly matter, but now the fact that perhaps the biggest infrastructure story in America is happening in the most affordable major cash flow market—I mean, this is something that almost nobody has connected the dots on. So join me and my two co-hosts that lead Mid South Home Buyers.   Keith Weinhold  36:01   We're going to discuss market fundamentals, the AI build out, what it means for jobs, rent in neighborhoods over the next decade, and then a heavy live Q and A on Mid South. You're invited to join me. This is happening again on Wednesday, September 30th. It's at 8p.m. Eastern. Yes, you will have me live. Sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth.

Most people think more income will solve their financial stress. But more money into a broken system usually just makes the dysfunction move faster. In this episode of Cashflow Legendz, Nate, Brandon, and Brock talk about why cash flow needs structure, automation, separation, and real-time feedback so families and business owners can build more clarity, control, and confidence with the money already moving through their lives. Full Podbean Description Most people do not have a money problem. They have a money structure problem. In this episode of Cashflow Legendz, Nate, Brandon, and Brock talk about why families and business owners can make $50K, $150K, or even much more and still feel stressed, stuck, or unsure where the money is going. The issue is not always income. Sometimes the issue is structure. More money into a broken system does not automatically create wealth. It often amplifies dysfunction. Brock breaks down the three key pieces of an effective cash flow structure: Separation — your income should go into a different account than your spending account. Automation — your money should move intentionally without relying on constant willpower. Real-time feedback — your system should show you where you stand, what you are saving, and where your spending has changed. The guys also talk about why traditional budgeting often creates frustration, why money sitting in a checking account feels easy to spend, and why structure creates better awareness. One of the most powerful parts of the conversation is the difference between average savings rates and families using a better cash flow system. The average American is saving around 4.5% of their income, while the average Currence user is saving around 28%. That is not theory. That is what happens when families give their cash flow a system. In this episode, we discuss: Why more income does not automatically solve money stress Why high earners can still feel broke Why budgeting often creates frustration How to separate income from spending Why automation matters How real-time feedback changes behavior Why checking accounts give us permission to spend How Currence helps structure cash flow Why clarity creates control Why control creates confidence Why wealth is built on intentional cash flow, not income alone The goal is not to shame anyone for where they are. The goal is to help families and business owners see what is actually happening with their money and build a better structure around the cash flow already moving through their lives. Because wealth is not built on income alone. It is built on intentional cash flow.

Here's a first: we reviewed the copy, not the original. Colony Flow is an ant-themed "destroy the picture" puzzler that's doing an estimated $150K/day — and it's currently being sued over. The crew digs into the game, the monetization trick underneath it, and what the lawsuit might mean for the entire copycat economy.We break down Colony Flow (by OneSoft/ABI Games) — a sort puzzler in the "destroy the picture" genre where a colony of ants slowly carries colored cubes off a picture into your bench. The standout is the monetization: the ants are deliberately slow, which creates constant friction that the game resolves with a rewarded-video (or premium-currency) speed-up. We cover the standard sort-puzzler feature set , the numbers (~100K downloads/day rising to ~200K in July, ~$150K/day IAP with likely 40-50%+ on top from ads), and the UA (~600 creatives, ~90% AppLovin and Mintegral, zero Facebook — because blended campaigns just don't work there). The through-line: the copy is outscaling debate, the friction mechanic is genuinely smart, and this lawsuit could set a precedent for the whole clone economy.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 We're reviewing the copy — the lawsuit setup02:40 The game — ants destroying the picture04:00 Why the ant pathfinding points to Pixel Flow06:10 Slow on purpose — the friction-into-rewarded-ad mechanic09:00 Blockers, fake "daily rewards," and the feature set13:00 The numbers — $150K/day and the Famfinity lawsuit20:00 The creatives — 600 ads, AppLovin & Mintegral, no Facebook29:30 What the lawsuit means for the copycat economyThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

The gap that matters in video production right now isn't between owners who use AI and owners who don't. It's between people who read about it and people whose business runs on it.This episode is sixty days of receipts from inside a video production business coach's own company: the $16,000 website replaced by a $70 subscription, then replaced again by pages he owns outright. The subscriptions cancelled one by one (Otter, Grain, ElevenLabs, Calendly, Typeform) because an afternoon of building now does the job better. A registration page built and shipped in an evening, no page builder, no developer.What you'll learn:Why the boring back office (follow-up emails, lead lists, landing pages, reporting) is where a video production company leaks money, and why that's now buildableThe word-of-mouth ceiling: why referrals stall most video businesses between £80K and £150K, and why that's a systems problem, not a lead problemWhat eleven owners built in a room in London, including a prospecting engine that finds and scores fifty leads while you make coffeeThe tool circus warning: why subscribing to five AI tools this afternoon is the wrong moveAfter eight years coaching 178+ video production companies, this is the fastest shift Den has seen.Thursday 6 August, one hour, live, free, two sittings so nobody's up at 3am.

My friend Joe sells real estate. He called me about one of his clients, a retired nurse who was selling her house, because something about her story wasn't sitting right with him. She'd lost her savings to a man named Edward Smog. Found her online, quoted her scripture, told her he was her way out of debt. By the time I got involved, she was out a hundred and fifty grand. Now a new scammer is coming after her. She believes he's an offshore oil rig worker, and they're going to get married. I'm trying to stop him before he takes any more of her money.

Bill and Andy Bush open with the one regret they've never heard from a retiree: "I saved too much." Drawing on conversations with plan participants, they explore the regrets people do voice — wishing they'd started earlier, stayed invested, or captured more of the company match — and why those missed opportunities can't be recovered once a contribution year lapses. The brothers make the case for balance, weighing Bill Perkins' "Die with Zero" philosophy of enjoying the here-and-now against the risk of shortchanging your future self. Along the way they dig into maximizing the match, the underused 50-plus and 60-to-63 "super" catch-up contributions, the new Roth catch-up rule for high earners, and the triple-tax-advantaged power of the HSA. They close with a mid-year nudge to review your savings rate and a reminder that money should buy choices, not guilt. ⏱ Episode Timeline & Key Topics 00:03 – Welcome & The Regrets We Hear Bill and Andy open the show with the common regrets they hear from plan participants: "I wish I'd saved more," "I wish I'd stayed in the market," "I wish I'd started earlier," and "I wish I'd taken the match longer." 00:53 – The One Regret Nobody Voices Nobody ever says they saved too much. Andy reframes the goal as balance — saving for later without abandoning a reasonable lifestyle now, or vice versa. 01:34 – Why Retirement Feels Too Far Away Bill notes how "retirement feels far away" leads people to defer saving, even though early dollars have the most time to compound. Life gets expensive as competing priorities — marriage, kids, college, car and house payments — crowd out saving. 02:08 – "Die with Zero" and Valuing What Feels Endless Andy shares Bill Perkins' insight from "Die with Zero": when something feels abundant or endless, we don't fully value it — which is exactly the trap with retirement saving that still feels far off. 02:53 – Missed Opportunities, Not Saved Dollars People nearing retirement rarely regret the money they saved; the regret is around opportunities missed. Each year's contribution limit lapses and can't be refilled later. 03:34 – Deathbed Regrets and Living with Balance Andy recalls that the biggest end-of-life regrets are rarely about working harder — they're about relationships, taking risks, and speaking up. The takeaway: plan forward for a long life while keeping balance today. 04:41 – Know How Your Company Match Works Bill urges participants to understand and maximize the match — an instant return, whether dollar-for-dollar or 50 cents on the dollar — and to capture that opportunity every year. 05:06 – When "Just the Match" Isn't Enough Andy raises the flip side: maxing the match may still fall short. The key questions are whether a match exists, what it is, and whether hitting it will actually be enough for your situation. 05:50 – Catch-Up and Super Catch-Up Contributions Bill covers catch-up contributions starting at age 50 and the SECURE 2.0 "super" catch-up for ages 60 to 63. Despite peak earning years, usage is low — roughly 5% of eligible 50-plus savers per the Public Retirement Research Lab, and low teens in Vanguard's How America Saves. 06:49 – Freeing Up Dollars in Your 50s As kids leave home and certain expenses fall away, your 50s can be a window to put more toward retirement — after assessing where you stand on your savings track. 07:39 – The New Roth Catch-Up Rule for High Earners Bill explains the rule rolled out this year: high earners (making $150,000 or more with an employer the prior year) who are 50-plus must make catch-up contributions as Roth. Some savers are balking — even skipping catch-ups entirely — rather than going Roth. 08:19 – Roth vs. Taxable: Why the Rule May Be a Gift Andy points out that money saved outside the plan gets taxed on dividends and gains along the way, while Roth is taxed up front and then grows and distributes tax-free. Bill notes high earners often can't deduct a traditional IRA anyway. 09:16 – The Value of Tax-Advantaged Space and the HSA The brothers highlight the range of tax-advantaged vehicles — 401(k), IRA, and the HSA, the triple-tax-advantaged account tied to a high-deductible health plan that blends the best of Roth and pre-tax. 09:49 – HSAs, Healthcare Costs, and Reimbursing Yourself Later Andy explains why the HSA may be the best retirement vehicle: healthcare becomes a bigger expense with age, and saving receipts now lets you reimburse yourself tax-free years later for big-ticket costs. 11:09 – An HSA Catch-Up Strategy for Couples Bill shares a lesser-known tip: when both spouses are 55-plus, the family contribution plus two catch-ups is allowed — but the second catch-up must go in a separate HSA. IRAs and HSAs can be funded up to the April tax deadline. 11:59 – Planning for Taxes Down the Road Andy notes most people focus only on today's taxes and overlook RMDs and legacy planning. Structuring your accounts thoughtfully can improve your future tax picture without costing much now. 12:35 – Can You Actually Save Too Much? Back to the opening question: yes, it's possible — high earners who live well within their means, or those who live so frugally the balance tips too far toward later at the expense of enjoying now. 14:01 – Money Should Buy Choices, Not Guilt Bill frames it as the balance of financial security and financial sacrifice. Savings should give you more choices in retirement — not maximize an account balance for its own sake. 15:08 – Confidence Scores and the Science of a Plan Andy describes the individual financial planning process: taking inventory of assets, income sources, and expenses to produce a confidence score across retirement ages, factoring in Social Security timing, Roth conversions, RMDs, and guaranteed income. 17:04 – Mid-Year Savings-Rate Checkup At the midpoint of 2026, Bill encourages listeners to review what they've saved in the first six months and adjust for the second half, aiming for a household savings rate near the often-cited 15% (including any match). 18:10 – "My Spouse Handles That" Andy addresses participants who leave saving entirely to a spouse — trust is great, but both partners should know whether the plan will be enough down the road. 18:39 – Wrap-Up: Better to Have Extra Than Be Short Bill contrasts arriving at retirement with $200,000 extra versus $200,000 short. Savings rates matter and long-term thinking gets you there. The brothers close with contact info — brothers, but not twins. ✅ Key Takeaways Quick Reference •             Nobody regrets saving — they regret missed opportunities — each year's contribution limit lapses and can't be refilled later, so capture it while you can •             Aim for balance, not extremes — don't sacrifice today's life entirely for the future, or the future entirely for today •             Start early to let time do the work — early dollars have the most time to compound, even when retirement feels far away •             Understand and maximize your match — a dollar-for-dollar or even 50-cents-on-the-dollar match is an instant return you should capture every year •             Maxing the match may not be enough — check whether hitting the match actually funds the retirement you want •             Use catch-up and super catch-up contributions — available at 50, with an enhanced amount for ages 60 to 63, yet only about 5% of eligible savers use them •             The Roth catch-up rule can work in your favor — high earners ($150K+) doing catch-ups must go Roth, which grows and distributes tax-free rather than getting nibbled by taxes in a taxable account •             The HSA may be your best retirement vehicle — triple-tax-advantaged, and you can save receipts now to reimburse yourself tax-free later •             Plan for future taxes, not just today's — think about RMDs, Roth conversions, and legacy before they arrive •             Money should buy choices, not guilt — the goal is confidence and options in retirement, not the biggest possible balance •             Do a mid-year savings-rate check — review the first six months and adjust; a common benchmark is around 15%, including any match

Claire Wolfson got her first dachshund at 20, became completely obsessed, and watched him get paralysed by the spinal condition that affects almost every sausage dog. The original plan was to design a supportive harness. That didn't work out. So her husband Chris drew a simple wiener dog silhouette, they slapped it on some beanies, and Bean Goods was born. That was 2011. Thirteen years, one capsule tee collection, two designers, and zero business education later - they're doing $140,000 to $150,000 a month. In this episode, Claire is refreshingly honest about what 13 years of slow, scrappy building actually looks like - the years of winging it on pricing and margins, the decade of running Instagram solo, the agency experiments that never paid off, and what finally shifted when she stopped doing it all alone. What you'll learn in this interview: How Bean Goods started with beanies, a logo, and no manufacturing experience - and why a capsule collection of 3 to 5 graphic tees in 2013 was the moment Claire knew it could be a real business Why starting on Instagram in 2012 - the year the platform launched - gave Bean Goods an early mover advantage in the dachshund community that still pays off today How Claire grew the brand's Instagram solo for nearly a decade with no social media strategy background, and what "consistency" actually looked like before it became a buzzword The pricing and margins reality of those early years: blanks at $3.50 to $8.50, one-colour screen prints, and absolutely no idea what a healthy margin looked like How they hit their first six-figure year around 2013 to 2014 using only organic Instagram and email marketing - and why MailChimp lasted for years before Klaviyo What eight years of just Claire and Chris doing everything actually cost them - and how getting their first intern in 2019 started to change the shape of the business The meta ads journey from 2017 onwards: a Facebook ads course built for service businesses, a short agency stint, and why she kept coming back to running them herself How Bean Goods went from inconsistent $68K to $80K months to consistently hitting $140K to $150K - and the specific ad account changes that drove it Why bundling is brand new territory for a 13-year-old brand - and what it says about how much room there still is to grow even when you think you know your business What it takes to build a team and a warehouse operation that can run for three weeks while you're in Europe - and why that, more than any revenue milestone, is the win Claire talks about most If you're building slowly and wondering whether the grind is ever going to compound into something real - Claire's story is the answer. Bean Goods didn't go viral. It didn't have a moment. It just kept going, kept learning, and kept showing up for a community of people who are, against all odds, extremely passionate about sausage dogs.

Bond yields climbed back to cycle highs with the 10-year at 4.56% and the 30-year at 5.06%, and Peter Schiff sees a major breakdown ahead that will hit stocks, housing, and crypto simultaneously.The 21st Century Road to Housing Bill became law without Trump's signature, and Schiff argues it will make housing worse, not better. Nine decades of government housing policy — every program sold as making homes more affordable — have produced the least affordable housing in American history, because subsidizing demand raises prices and the money ends up in sellers' pockets. Trump has openly said he wants home prices to rise, in the middle of an affordability crisis. Meanwhile SpaceX fell 36% from its highs in under two weeks with every open-market buyer underwater and lockup expirations still ahead. Every Wall Street firm covering Bitcoin is bullish — Citi at $82K, Standard Chartered at $100K, Bernstein at $150K, JP Morgan at $170K — yet not one is buying Stretch at $87.48, where a 13.7% yield proves the market doesn't believe Bitcoin can appreciate 12% a year. They don't believe their own forecasts.Chapters:00:00 Markets Defy Bad News01:38 War Tensions and Metals05:11 Bond Yields Warning Signs06:57 AI Bubble and IPO Mania11:42 Bitcoin Hype and Wall Street17:07 Dollar Flat Oil Rising18:09 Housing Bill Political Fight19:54 Affordability Crisis Explained24:16 How Subsidies Inflate Prices32:03 Bubble Collateral Trap32:58 Jobs Report Media Spin34:40 Housing Supply Not Subsidies37:20 Save America Act Debate41:25 Voting Rights Republic Critique52:49 Democracy Incentives Corruption57:12 Two Party No Choice58:42 Podcast Wrap UpYouTube: https://youtube.com/peterschiffX: https://x.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Lauren and Mick, a married couple in their 30s with two kids, $93K of debt, and a dream of moving into a bigger home. They earn around $150K a year combined, but with 89% of their take-home pay already going to fixed costs, just $5K in savings, and years of impulsive spending, their money is stretched far beyond what their lifestyle can support. Both Lauren and Mick have ADHD, which they say makes it harder to manage bills, avoid dopamine spending, and follow through on financial systems. Ramit acknowledges those challenges while encouraging them to explore a deeper issue: ADHD can make money management more difficult, but finding ways to navigate those challenges is still an important part of making the financial decisions their family depends on. In this episode we uncover: • Why Lauren and Mick earn $150K but still only have $5K in savings • How $93.5K of debt is keeping them trapped • Why their 89% fixed costs make a bigger house impossible right now • How ADHD affects their impulse spending, overdue bills, and financial systems • How consolidating $35K of credit-card debt did not solve the behavior behind it • Why they have avoided fully combining their finances after seven years of marriage • How Mick losing his job for a year changed their relationship with money • How both of their childhoods shaped their current spending habits • Why wanting a third child and bigger home is creating pressure they cannot afford • Why small cuts will not fix a structural financial problem • Why Ramit says their household needs a clearer path to $200K in income • What it takes to turn a fantasy of a better life into a real financial plan • How Lauren and Mick responded after the conversation Chapters: (00:00:00) They admit their biggest money mistake (00:01:18) Meet Lauren & Mick (00:02:04) Their shocking financial numbers (00:05:05) How ADHD affects their spending (00:07:08) LEGOLAND, LEGO, and impulse purchases (00:12:22) How job loss changed everything (00:17:38) Breaking down their finances (00:21:22) "Do you respect money?"

Eight years ago this month, I was sitting on my bathroom floor, five months postpartum, crying, googling "legit work from home jobs" so I could pay a bankruptcy attorney and still buy formula and diapers.That was rock bottom. It was also the decision that changed my entire life.This week is my eight-year business anniversary, and instead of a "look how far I've come" celebration post, I'm doing something different.

Your listing appointment tips are only as good as the strategy behind them. If your results have dropped and you're still running the same playbook you used two years ago, the market didn't fail you. Your strategy did.I learned this the hard way. I was 26, making $150K, doing 100 transactions a year. I thought I had it figured out. Then the market shifted and everything I had built stopped working overnight. What I did next changed the trajectory of my entire career and it will change yours too if you're willing to be honest about where you actually are right now.Here's what this session covers:✅ The truth about why your real estate listing presentation tips are not converting the way they used to and what to fix first✅ How to build a real estate competitive advantage so strong that other agents psych themselves out before they even walk into a listing appointment against you✅ The specific real estate niche strategy I used to go from zero probate knowledge to 4 listings a month in under 90 days✅ Why getting listings in a tough market comes down to one decision most agents refuse to make✅ How a cash offer program works as a motivated seller filter so you stop chasing cold leads and start closing people who actually need to sell✅ The expired listings opportunity that explodes every time inventory climbs and how to position yourself to capture it before anyone else does✅ What it actually takes to dominate your real estate market when everyone around you is waiting for things to go back to normalThe agents winning right now are not working harder. They changed what they do. This is how

Bitcoin rebounds after hitting a fresh 21-month low, below its 200-week moving average — but underneath the panic, whales just made THE LARGEST single Bitcoin accumulation spike EVER recorded on chain: 270,000 BTC scooped up at $59K, bigger than the COVID bottom (150K) and the FTX bottom. Cantor Fitzgerald says the bear market is entering its FINAL stretch, projecting a late October bottom based on historical cycles. Metaplanet added 2,823 BTC to push its stack past 43,000. Robinhood just went 24/5 as DTCC's new 24x5 clearing goes live — Wall Street is officially catching up to crypto's 24/7 reality. Meanwhile the biggest stablecoin launch in history just dropped: 140+ giants — BlackRock, Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, Amex, Google, Coinbase, Ripple — launched Open USD (OUSD), a USDC killer that crashed Circle stock 15% overnight. Add June's brutal Marubozu candle (worst month since June 2022), Fed rate HIKE fears from Kevin Warsh, Strategy's $1.25 BILLION sell authorization, and Trump's disclosed $1.4 BILLION in 2025 crypto earnings blowing up Clarity Act ethics negotiations — and we break down whether smart money just called the bottom, or if this is a whale trap before the next leg lower.

This is arguably the best real estate investing loan on the market today. It funds the purchase, renovation, closing costs, and up to six months of mortgage payments, so you're not on the hook when renovating a vacant property, all for 3.5% down.  Today's guest used it to put down just $9,000 on a house and, less than a year later, had $150,000 in equity. It changed his life and enabled him to become a real estate millionaire, even in an unaffordable market.  Matt Porcaro (AKA The 203k Way) was working in construction in America's most expensive market—New York City. He could only get preapproved for a loan of a few hundred thousand dollars, which doesn't buy much in NYC. When a local investor told him about the FHA 203(k) loan, his entire world opened up, and changed his trajectory forever. Now, he has over $1,000,000 in equity and over $2,000,000 in real estate—after just starting with $9,000. Today, Matt explains the 203(k) loan from start to finish—how much money you need to put down, how to get preapproved, finding contractors, paying for the renovation, what to know before you start, and a new change that makes it even more lucrative in expensive areas of the country. Beginners: This changes the game entirely.  In This Episode We Cover The best beginner real estate investing loan that only requires 3.5% down  Why getting a 203(k) loan is much less complicated than you think it is How Matt turned $9,000 into $150,000 in equity in less than a year  The exact steps to take when getting a 203(k) loan (easier method) A new change to the 203(k) loan that makes getting approved even easier  And So Much More!

What if you could get a deeper discount—we're talking $150K rental properties. Don't think it's possible? Henry has been getting deals just like this in 2026, buying them, making upgrades, and walking into serious equity with way less money in.  How does he find them? Today, we're sharing the exact methods. This is how to find off-market properties priced well below your area's average, even in 2026, even with methods people have written off as dead. This is the quick guide to getting your first off-market real estate deal. Henry goes over how to spot the “situations” that lead to lower prices, the list he builds to target the best potential investment properties, the methods he uses to contact sellers (it's not just cold-calling), and the tool he recommends every beginner to use to choose their deal-finding method.  Plus, if you don't have time to search for deals, we'll share an easier method to get them sent to you.  In This Episode We Cover How to find investment properties for around $150K even in 2026  The off-market deal-finding methods beginners can use to get their first discounted property  The two things Henry needs on his off-market list before he starts contacting sellers  Got no time to look for deals?
