#667: Home prices have outpaced wages for more than a decade, and first-time buyers are stretching further every year. Now a new idea is entering the conversation, the 50-year mortgage. It promises lower monthly payments, yet it reshapes everything from equity growth to long-term risk. In this episode we sit down with Karsten Jeske, PhD, CFA from Early Retirement Now, a former Federal Reserve economist known for forensic financial modeling. Together we walk through when a 50-year mortgage might make sense, when it clearly does not, and why the math is rarely as simple as “higher payment versus lower payment.” We also dig into how ultra-long mortgages could push home prices even higher, and what this means for today's buyers and tomorrow's retirees. If you've wondered whether extended loan terms offer real affordability or just disguise the cost, this conversation gives you a clearer lens. Key Takeaways Why stretching to a 50-year mortgage can look affordable on paper yet leave you with far slower equity growth in the years that matter most. The few cases where a longer mortgage term can support a deliberate strategy, such as freeing cash flow to invest, and why this only works for certain borrowers. How inflation, appreciation, and opportunity cost change the “true” math behind 30-year versus 50-year loans. Why ultra-long mortgages may raise home prices more than they help buyers and what this means for generational wealth. How late-life mortgage decisions, downsizing, and step-up in basis reshape your legacy far more than the length of the loan itself.

On this episode I sit down with Rob Hoffman, who runs a portfolio of profitable SaaS businesses (Contact, Mentions, Kleo). Rob breaks down six proven customer acquisition playbooks using real examples doing between ~$20K and $300K MRR. The episode walks through concrete strategies like waitlist launches, trend-jacking, language arbitrage, AI search, signal-search, and high-ticket ads. You will learn how to go beyond “vibe coding” and use structured marketing systems to get their first customers, raise prices, and scale more predictably. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 04:16 – 1) Waitlist Strategy: Kleo & Mentions Case Study 19:45 – 2) Wave Surfer Strategy: TrustMRR Case Study 27:54 –3) Language Arbitrage Strategy: Teachizy Case Study 33:53 – 4) AI Search Strategy: Tally Case Study 40:30 – 5) Signal Search Strategy: LocalRank Case Study 50:04 – 6) High Ticket Ad Strategy: MailScale Case Study Key Points Most indie builders can ship products but struggle to get customers; Rob packages his experience into six repeatable acquisition playbooks. The Waitlist Strategy pairs “edgy sales” content with email nurturing, scarcity, and beta cohorts to quickly reach tens of thousands in MRR. Riding an existing wave (like fake-MRR discourse on X) plus product-led virality can generate huge attention, which is better monetized with ads than subscriptions. Language and geo arbitrage—cloning a winning SaaS into another language/market—combined with non-English SEO is “marketing on easy mode.” AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) is an overpowered channel right now; deep “alternatives/versus/best of” pages are heavily cited and convert far better than Google traffic. Feature-first launches, faceless accounts, and enterprise plans let products like LocalRank and MailScale stack MRR with small audiences, YouTube demos, and high-ticket sales.

Hey, investors! Scott Carson here, and I've got a juicy deal that's hotter than a Texas summer! If your lazy assets (and maybe your self-directed IRA) are sitting idle, this is your chance to put them to work on a prime piece of Georgetown, Texas real estate. This isn't some long-haul, snail-paced investment – we're talking a six-month or less turnaround, with conservative numbers figuring in a year!This beauty is one of 48 reverse mortgages we snagged from a hedge fund. The borrower's already passed, HUD's got it cleaned out, and we're looking at a clean, well-maintained property needing just a little lipstick and a fresh coat of paint. Texas foreclosures are fast, and we've got the team ready to rock and roll. This is a potential 10% (or more!) return on your money, secured with a first lien.Here's the breakdown on this Georgetown Goldmine:The Deceased HUD Gem: A clean, 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,348 sq ft home in Georgetown's hot 78628 ZIP code. Borrower deceased, heirs not fighting, property in good shape (interior inspection available!), needs cosmetic updates only – no structural nightmares.The Numbers Make Sense: Current legal balance: $185K. Conservative Fair Market Value: $297K. We're picking up the note for just $170K. Add back taxes and foreclosure costs, and we need $176K in funding. That's over $112K in built-in equity!Exit Strategy 1: Quick Auction Cash! With a 90-day Texas foreclosure and a $191K legal balance (after taxes), a quick auction sale is likely. You get a guaranteed 10% return on your $176K, paid out even if it sells faster than 90 days. We're talking $4,400+ interest in under three months!Exit Strategy 2: REO Flip for Bigger Bucks! If it doesn't sell at auction (our preferred scenario!), we take it back as an REO. An additional $20K for rehab (total $196K invested) for light cosmetic work. Potential net profit of $52K+ with ROI up to 20% if we're doing a one-year prepayment penalty.Due Diligence & Timeline: Full collateral file, realtor CMAs, title update, HUD interior inspection, and exterior video are all available. We're aiming for mid-December funding to kick off a February foreclosure and a March/June sale. Fast, efficient, and profitable!This isn't just another podcast episode; it's a real-time opportunity. We're looking for funding in December, so if you've got an IRA or some passive investment cash ($176K) burning a hole in your pocket, and you want 10% or more, let's talk!For the full due diligence package, comps, and all the nitty-gritty details, reach out directly!

Morgan and Kala Pepper are flipping properties to acquire rentals with no debt.For the past few years, they've been doing 1 flip a year.Now they're aiming for 7 flips this year, plus 3 to 5 rentals.They're doing this in a market where they can buy a house for $20K, put in $24K, and end up all-in at $48K.(That's less than the price of a kitchen in some cities.)Here's how they scaled faster in 4 months than they did in the last 4 years.If you're like most people, you won't scale in 2026 with the same habits you had in 2025.

From AI disruption to human advantage: Why communication is the one billion-dollar skill artificial intelligence can never replicate - and how Africans can build wealth empires from knowledge asymmetry. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, Futurist Kwame returns to dismantle the AI myths keeping young Africans confused about the greatest economic opportunity of our generation. This isn't another tech tutorial about prompt engineering or building apps - it's a systematic breakdown of why the ONE human skill AI cannot touch is emotionally-charged communication, and why becoming a knowledge merchant in this moment of technological disruption is the fastest path to wealth. Critical revelations include: • Why knowledge asymmetry is the gold mine right now - become the custodian of AI knowledge in your industry • The four forms of communication: nonverbal, verbal, written, visual - and why over 80% is nonverbal • How Future Kwame's AI content team (average age 21) churns out 20 pieces daily, growing Instagram from 20K to 136K • Why every company needs an in-house R&D department plugged into AI - churches, agriculture, real estate, government Guest: Futurist Kwame (Kwame A.

From early blogging days, to million-dollar digital courses, to her signature wealth transformation programs, Kate has been in the online space since 2009, witnessing firsthand how the industry has evolved through multiple eras and continuing to grow in spite of it. Why? Because she successfuly built the internal safety and capacity required to sustainably hold abundance.

In this powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee sits down with Louise, a kidney warrior whose journey with IgA nephropathy spans over 30 years – from diagnosis in her early 20s, to pregnancy complications and heartbreaking baby loss, to finally receiving her life-changing kidney transplant, lovingly named “Katie the Kidney.” Louise shares how her kidney disease was first discovered during pregnancy, the devastating loss of her son, and how for decades she coped by “putting everything in a box” and carrying on with life. She talks about living abroad with only 22% kidney function, unknowingly walking 20K with undiagnosed angina, and why kidney disease can be such a silent condition. In an emotional and hope-filled conversation, Louise describes the moment she received “the call” for transplant, watching her donor kidney arrive in a cooler from Edinburgh, and being wheeled to theatre with Katie the Kidney on the end of her bed. She also opens up about the emotional healing that came with kidney failure – exploring trapped emotions, trauma, faith, and learning to truly take responsibility for her health and wellbeing. If you're newly diagnosed, living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), resisting the idea of dialysis or transplant, or struggling emotionally with your diagnosis, this episode will give you hope, validation and practical encouragement. In this episode, we discuss: •Louise's first signs of kidney disease and IgA nephropathy diagnosis •Pregnancy, kidney disease and the loss of her baby son •Living 30+ years with CKD and feeling “fine” at 22% kidney function •Discovering angina during transplant workup •Getting the call and meeting “Katie the Kidney” •How transplant changed her energy, skin, and brain fog •The emotional side of kidney disease: grief, trauma, “putting it in a box” •Why acknowledging your diagnosis and caring for your mental health is essential •Louise's advice for anyone newly diagnosed or scared of dialysis / transplant You are not alone. Kidney disease is not the end – it's part of your story, not your identity.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm taking you back to November 2019—when I was pregnant, exhausted, and racing against the clock to launch a funnel by the last Friday of the month. Spoiler: that Friday was Black Friday, and I had no idea what I was doing. But in that one week, I made $4,000 from a tiny email list and a simple low-ticket offer.This story isn't just about making money during the busiest shopping season of the year. It's about the moment I realized I could sell the work of my brain instead of just my hands—and how that one accidental Black Friday opened my eyes to the power of leveraged offers, funnels, and making money even when you're not actively working.If you're a service provider or coach who wants to scale without burning out, or if you think you've "missed the boat" on Black Friday because you didn't plan months ago—this episode is for you.

Most people set goals from the outside in.They decide, “I want to lose 10 pounds. I want to make $20K months. I want to find my soulmate.”And then they go straight into doing mode — writing to-do lists, setting alarms, creating habits.But here's the thing…That logical, “let's-do-this” part of your mind only controls about 5% of your behavior.The other 95%? That's your subconscious — and if it's not on board, it will always sabotage your efforts.In this episode, Kate breaks down how to start setting goals from the inside out so your subconscious, your energy, and your actions are finally working together — not against each other.You'll hear:

Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my new community at https://TKOwners.com━I sat down with Sam Thompson (https://x.com/ImSamThompson) again, and this time we tried something completely different. We used a random word generator to come up with totally random words and then challenged ourselves to turn each one into a real business idea that could make $20K a month. What started as a fun experiment turned into one of the most creative brainstorming sessions I've ever done.We came up with ideas like an Office-themed chess set, a blue-collar Stoicism community, and even a nightclub marketing agency called Full Lounge. We debated which ideas would actually work, which ones could scale, and how fast each could become profitable. Sam also shared why most people overcomplicate online businesses when simple local plays like garage cleanouts can hit $20K a month with just one person running them.We wrapped up talking about how important it is to start small, stay consistent, and focus on momentum instead of waiting for permission or the “perfect” idea.Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkLearn about my company: http://tkopod.co/p-cofFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---

What if getting in the right room is the ONE decision that takes you from zero to seven figures? I've invested over six figures in mentors, masterminds, and coaches — and I literally just dropped $5K this morning to get in a room with an eight-figure earner. Why? Because proximity isn't an expense, it's a multiplier.In today's episode, I'm breaking down what getting in the right room really means (hint: it's not about celebrity access or one-off events), how to spot the wrong rooms that drain your time and money, and the three ways proximity fast-tracks your business growth.I'm also sharing my 30-Day Proximity Protocol, so you can start building momentum right now, whether you have $0 or $20K to invest. One of my clients used this framework in a single power hour, made one messaging shift, and booked three consult calls in just seven days. That's the power of proximity.So here's my challenge to you: stop waiting, stop spinning, and get in the right room — now.Topics covered on Getting in the Right Room:What “getting in the right rooms” actually means — and why I still invest even at seven figuresThe three things proximity gives you that you can't get anywhere elseHow to tell the difference between the right rooms and the wrong onesRed flags to look for when choosing mentors and mastermindsHow to know when you've outgrown a room (and it's time to level up)My 30-Day Proximity Protocol to start creating momentum todayResources from this episode:Therapreneur: A Therapist's Guide to 3x Your Therapy IncomeThe Coach IntensiveEnter The Podcast Giveaway for the chance to win one of Carly's digital products: https://thethrivingtherapreneurpodcast.com/reviews ------

You know that feeling when you start earning your own money and suddenly everything feels possible... the festivals, the flights, the “let’s just go out”? This week’s Money Diarist lived that era hard. Working double shifts, saying yes to everything, and promising herself she’d deal with the debt later. Then later came… with a $10K maxed-out credit card, a $20K car loan, and a reality check that hit harder than the Monday shift after a Sunday sesh. But here’s the plot twist: she turned it all around. These days she’s running a six-figure career, owns her own home, and has an investment property quietly doing its thing in the background. If you’ve been in your “fun now, finances later” era, this diary is full of inspo!

In a world where “charge what you're worth” and “raise your prices” dominate the entrepreneurial conversation, Kelly is flipping the script with a reality check: In this episode, she reveals why some of her biggest business wins — from stage appearances to multi-million-dollar brand growth — came not from getting paid upfront, but from playing the long game. You'll learn when it actually pays to work for free, how to evaluate opportunities strategically, and how to turn short-term sacrifice into long-term expansion. If you've been wondering whether to charge or say “yes” for exposure, relationships, or visibility — this is your playbook for discerning which “free” is actually profitable. Timestamps: [00:40] – Why “charge what you're worth” isn't always great advice — and how nuance creates better business decisions. [02:00] – The problem with instant gratification and how long-term strategy builds wealth [04:15] – Free vs. paid speaking engagements — the $20K talk vs. the thousand-person audience. [05:45] – The free, local speaking events that led to new paying clients within 48 hours. [07:00] – The asset advantage: why visibility and brand content are often worth more than upfront payment. [08:30] – Kelly's 4-part checklist for evaluating an unpaid opportunity [10:15] – The truth about big stages: how most speakers land them — and why most aren't getting paid. [13:30] – Why Kelly doesn't take podcast sponsors (yet) and how the show makes millions without a single paid ad slot (and why long-term audience trust is more profitable). [18:00] – The currency of integrity: why doing the right thing compounds in value over time. [19:00] – Final encouragement: trust your discernment, play the long game, and remember — nothing is impossible with God.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if your faith crisis unlocked millionaire secrets? In this captivating episode of Dropping Bombs, I bring you solar sales powerhouse Tyler Bastian—who went from knocking doors at 13 with a squeegee to building a $50M empire at VITL Power (half-acquired by Freedom Forever). The real story isn't just the money—it's how he turned devastating family tragedies (losing his brother, sister, and father) into unstoppable mental fortitude that made him a door-to-door legend. Tyler reveals why solar isn't dead (despite the haters), how his 15-year-old son banks $100/hour washing windows, and the brutal truth about sales: if you're not making $20K/month, you're selling the wrong sh*t. Here's the no-BS playbook: Door-to-door sales teaches rejection immunity and financial freedom faster than any college degree. Tyler breaks down why Utah breeds D2D champions (Mormon missions = rejection boot camp), how to handle "no soliciting" signs the right way, and the mindset shift separating six-figure earners from quitters—it's not about avoiding rejection, it's about controlling your energy recovery time. If you're trapped in a low-wage grind, swapping your precious time for scraps, here's your wake-up call: step up to commissions, master your mindset, and attack every door like it's your golden ticket. Stop working harder for less—start working smarter for more.
