Work with Jimmy & the Vreeland Capital Team to build a 20-Unit Portfolio that will get you the equivalent of a retirement account 3X faster with a third of the capital. Visit https://tinyurl.com/mainstreetpatriot-getstarted - - - - - - - Summary When Kirk Gibb started investing in real estate, he went all-in. He hunted deals, swung hammers, managed tenants, and even camped out in his properties during renovations. The hands-on hustle taught him a ton—but it also burned him out. By 2010, Kirk had sold off his portfolio and hit pause on real estate. Fast forward a few years… Kirk discovered Vreeland Capital and turnkey investing. That's when everything changed. Today, as a Vreeland Capital client, Kirk owns 19 rental properties and has turned an initial $451K into $1.2M in returns—a 276% gain—all while focusing on his CPA career and his family. In this episode of The Real Estate Fastpass Podcast, you'll hear: - Kirk's early “do-it-all” investing days—and why they weren't sustainable - How burnout led him to a 5-year plus break from real estate - The mindset shift that allowed him to grow without doing the work himself - How turnkey investing with Vreeland Capital helped him re-scale all the way to 19 doors - Why make-readies and repairs should be seen as investments, not expenses - The four pillars of rental wealth—and how they compound over time If you've ever felt the grind of self-managing or wondered how to scale without sacrificing your career, Kirk's story is proof that you can build a thriving portfolio and keep your sanity. Listen now on Youtube, Apple, Spotify, and everywhere. About Jimmy Vreeland Jimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. On his last deployment, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki which led him down the path of real estate investing. As his own portfolio grew, eventually he started a real estate investing business.  Since 2018 his team at Vreeland Capital has supplied over 100 houses a year to high performing, passive investors who want to work with his team and his team is now managing over 800 houses.

On the latest episode of the Financial Samurai podcast, I sat down with Ben Miller, cofounder and CEO of Fundrise, for a deep dive into AI, venture capital, and what it really takes to get into the best deals. Key Takeaways from the Podcast 1. AI Growth and Market Dynamics Revenue growth is accelerating in big AI companies like Anthropic. There's an AI benchmarking race where many products seem similar, but differentiation still matters—Ben Miller doesn't believe AI is a commodity at all. The biggest AI players continue to extend their lead, creating a “winner-take-most” dynamic. 2. Venture Capital Strategy and Concentration How much concentration is acceptable in a venture fund: up to 50% of the portfolio can be concentrated in just two companies. Importance of building a pipeline (“bench”) of potential giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks. Leveraging scouts in key hubs like San Francisco to source the next wave of private growth companies. 3. Valuation and Economic Concepts Growth-Adjusted Revenue Multiple as a more nuanced valuation approach for high-growth companies. Baumol Effect – rising costs in labor-intensive sectors despite limited productivity gains, and how this might influence AI adoption and consumer behavior. 4. Access and Allocation Challenges Figma IPO: Allocation was difficult even for well-connected investors; demand for strong growth companies far outstrips supply. Innovation Fund's approach: invested in 6 of the top 50 companies on the CNBC Disruptor list. The battle of connections and wealth—strong networks often determine who gets into the best deals. See related post:  The Futility Of Chasing Allocation In A Hot IPO Company 5. Strategic Advantages for Investors Directing a 2M+ user base to both invest in and use portfolio company products (examples: Ramp, Flywheel) as a growth driver. Using product adoption to create a feedback loop of higher valuations and more capital access. 6. Macro Perspectives on AI China's optimistic, aggressive push into AI contrasts with America's more cautious and sometimes pessimistic stance. Why I'm personally increasing my allocation to AI—both as a long-term growth opportunity and as a hedge against missing the next big wave. Invest in Private Growth Companies With Fundrise Companies are staying private longer, which means more gains go to early private investors rather than the public. If you don't want to fight in the IPO “Hunger Games” for scraps, consider Fundrise Venture. About 80% of the Fundrise venture portfolio is in artificial intelligence—an area I'm extremely bullish on. In 20 years, I don't want my kids asking why I ignored AI when it was still early. The investment minimum is just $10, compared with $200,000+ for most traditional venture funds (if you can even get in). You can also see exactly what the fund holds before you invest, and you don't need to be an accredited investor.

They cover industry gossip, shifting executive roles, macroeconomic forecasts, and heated disagreements on whether AI truly enhances the client experience. Key Takeaways Inman Connect Recap Greg shares his experience from Inman Connect, including a pre-party at his studio and the CEO Connect session. NAR Membership Projections Kevin Sears (NAR President) revealed current membership is ~65,000 above projections at 1.4M; however, NAR is budgeting for 1.2M members in 2026. Agent Churn Annual agent churn is approximately 20%, meaning roughly all members cycle every five years.

Jesse Wickel is the owner of Wickel Tire Pros in Burley, Idaho. A former farmer with deep roots in agriculture, Jesse built his business from a single tire shop into a multi-location operation generating over $26 million in annual sales. With a hands-on approach, a strong community presence, and a commitment to relationship-driven service, Jesse has grown his team from just a few employees to over 80 across multiple locations, all while maintaining his small-town values. In this episode… How do you take a rural tire shop doing $1.2 million in annual sales and scale it to over $26 million in just seven years? According to Jesse Wickel, it starts with relationships; with your customers, your employees, and your community. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge sits down with Jesse to talk about how his background in farming helped shape his mindset around service, hard work, and leadership. Jesse explains why growing in a rural market requires more than just good pricing; it takes trust, reliability, and genuine connection. From opening day to serving 8,000 hot dogs at their expansion event, his story is packed with authenticity and grit. Jesse also shares his people-first philosophy: that success isn't measured in number of locations or fleet trucks, but in whether employees are happy, families are thriving, and customers feel truly taken care of. Whether you're running a farm or a tire shop, Jesse believes the formula for success is simple: work hard, stay humble, and build real relationships. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:  [01:31] Jesse shares how he was drawn into farming after college out of necessity [03:26] How the opportunity to buy a small tire shop came unexpectedly [04:59] How Jesse's business grew from a $1.2M operation to 80 employees and multiple locations [07:09] What Jesse enjoys about working in the tire industry [10:15] Jesse opens up about his family life [13:13] Jesse's goals for the business over the next few years [16:26] What guiding principle does Jesse live by and share with other shop owners? [17:54] How does Jesse find employees for his growing business? [23:17] Jesse talks about his strong relationship with Titan International Resources mentioned in this episode: Wickel Tire Pros https://wickeltirepros.com/ Titan International https://www.titan-intl.com/ Tread Partners https://treadpartners.com/ Gain Traction Podcast https://gaintractionpodcast.com/ Gain Traction Podcast Episode #187: The Council That's Quietly Shaping the Future of the Auto Industry https://gaintractionpodcast.com/the-council-thats-quietly-shaping-the-future-of-the-auto-industry/ Quotable Moments: “Our customers aren't buying tires, they're buying from people they trust.” “If we take care of our employees and their families, the rest will follow.” “Success isn't how many shops we have, it's how well our team is doing.” “In a small town, everyone knows your name. You've got to earn that trust every day.” “We didn't know we'd serve 8,000 hot dogs at our grand opening… but we did.” Action Steps: Invest in relationships: Treat every customer like a neighbor, not a transaction. Measure what matters: Focus on family, team morale, and service, not just revenue. Create workplace wins: Support your team in hitting personal and professional milestones. Involve your community: Make them part of your journey and growth. Hire early, hire right: Seek people who want to work and grow, not just fill a spot.

Brown   Why Sales ≠ Profit—And the Blind Spots That Bleed Cash   The Profit Gap: Why More Sales Might Be Making You Broke You're pushing for more revenue. Your team is grinding. But your bank balance isn't growing. In fact, you're more stressed, your margins are tighter, and your team is overwhelmed.   Why? Because most businesses chase symptoms—like “bad sales teams” or “slow growth”—instead of finding and fixing the true root cause.   Doug C. Brown, a $900M revenue growth expert, exposes the hidden math, decision blind spots, and operational leaks that silently kill profit… even in high-revenue companies.   If you're running faster but falling further behind, this episode is your wake-up call.   In This Episode You'll Learn: Why your biggest profit leaks never show up on your P&L. How a simple math-based model predicts revenue and risk. The deadly myth of “more sales = more profit” (and what to do instead). Why follow-up failures cost you more than bad leads. How to stop being held hostage by top salespeople.   Key Takeaways (Costly Mistakes & Blind Spots): You're solving symptoms, not root causes.. Most owners blame sales teams, not systems. Doug shows how tracking lagging indicators masks the real issues. Revenue can bankrupt you. One client scaled from $5.7M to $8.2M in three weeks—and imploded because ops couldn't handle the growth. You're losing 6–7 figures in slow follow-up. Many companies take 28+ days to follow up on leads. Doug's framework closes this loop—and closes more deals. Poor cash flow ≠ pricing problem—it's a terms problem. A utility pole company nearly collapsed waiting 180 days for payments. Doug explains how to fix your pay-cycle math. You don't need more clients—you need better ones. 90% of profit often comes from 10% of clients. But you're spending your energy on the wrong 90%. Doug teaches how to flip that math.   About Doug C. Brown: Doug C. Brown is CEO of CEO Sales Strategies and a globally recognized sales revenue and profit growth expert. He's built 35+ businesses and driven over $900 million in sales—helping companies like Intuit, Procter & Gamble, and Tony Robbins' organizations scale smarter.   Former President of Sales for Tony Robbins & Chet Holmes, Doug is known for his math-based, cause-first approach to revenue growth. His latest venture, Vibitno, is revolutionizing follow-up automation to fix one of the biggest leaks in sales: speed to response.   Links: Website (CEO Sales Strategies): https://ceosalesstrategies.com/ Vibitno: https://vibitno.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dougcbrown123/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougbrown123/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougcbrown_/ Follow-Up Masterclass: http://ceosalesstrategies.com/stoptheleak   Ready to Stop the Bleed? If you're tired of “working harder” and want to make more by fixing less, it's time to stop solving symptoms and start fixing root causes.

In this KE Report company update, Tara Christie, President and CEO of Banyan Gold, outlines a major strategic milestone for the company - the acceleration to 100% ownership of the AurMac Gold Project in Yukon. Key takeaway: Banyan is simplifying its ownership structure, eliminating legacy royalty entanglements, and gaining greater control over project development - all while preserving cash.   Highlights from the Interview: AurMac Ownership Deal: Banyan has entered an agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers, receiver of Victoria Gold's assets, to acquire the remaining interest and eliminate multiple royalties and rights. • $2M cash due on closing, plus $1.6M in cash or shares within 75 days. • Expected to close by August 25th. Strategic Upside: • No further PEA requirement post-close, giving Banyan flexibility to include this year's drilling. • Simplifies ownership and reduces legal/financial overhang for potential investors or partners. • Eliminates constraints tied to Victoria Gold, enhancing independence and optionality. Drill Program & High-Grade Focus: • Over 100 holes drilled (~20,000m) toward a 30,000m program, running through October. • High-grade zones (e.g. 16m of 9 g/t Au) are being further defined — potential game-changers for a future PEA and starter pit economics. Strong Treasury: • ~$17M in cash post-spring financing, giving flexibility without near-term need for dilution or royalty sales. Growing Interest from Majors: • Multiple site visits ongoing into September. • Infrastructure advantages and visible high-grade core make AurMac an attractive project.

Chris TorresDirectorThe Marketing Coach & TourprenuerI started at 16 illustrating children's books and never looked back.After that, I spent years learning on the job—working in design studios and marketing agencies as an art-worker, designer, web developer, and eventually a marketing strategist.I didn't go to university. Truth is, I hated school. I was told I'd never amount to much. That doubt didn't discourage me—it fuelled me. I've spent my whole career proving people wrong, building a path on grit, self-teaching, and real-world results.In 2008, I launched a marketing agency from scratch and built it into a global force, working with travel brands and service-based businesses in over 50+ countries. The Tourism Marketing Agency still thrives today.A huge middle finger to all those teachers that did not believe in me.Along the way, I've helped launch products, crack new markets, and grow small, local businesses into major players. My approach blends storytelling with data, creativity with clarity—making sure your marketing connects emotionally and converts commercially.You won't get recycled “funnel hacks” or empty jargon here. What I offer is real-world strategy that delivers. That's how we helped Gray Line Iceland generate €2M+ in direct bookings. Overland Ireland? Another €2M and a 6000% ROI. And in the wilds of Alaska, a remote operator saw a 463% sales increase year-on-year using the same methods.My deep sector knowledge, especially in travel and tourism, comes from nearly two decades of hands-on work. Tour operators, DMCs, travel tech firms, hotels—I've helped them all refine their messaging, attract the right customers, and grow sustainably.I'm also part-owner of Tourpreneur, the global community of nearly 20,000 tour operators. I contribute regularly to the podcast and help lead the charge on educational content, mentorship, and strategy guidance for operators looking to level up. Whether it's through speaking, writing, or behind-the-scenes coaching, my goal is always to help people in this industry thrive.I also wrote the book How to Turn Your Online Lookers into Bookers, with a follow-up now published: Lookers into Bookers: The Tourism Marketing Blueprint. I speak at tourism events worldwide, running practical workshops that give attendees tools they can use the next day.summaryIn this episode, Jason Elkins interviews Chris Torres, a marketing coach specializing in the tourism industry. They discuss the importance of direct bookings for tour operators, the journey of Chris from art to marketing, and the significance of storytelling in tourism. Chris shares insights on building trust through personal connections, the role of video content, and the impact of reviews and social proof. They also explore the future of marketing with AI, the importance of community support, and advice for aspiring tour operators. Chris introduces his Strategy Builder tool, designed to help operators create effective marketing strategies.takeawaysChris Torres emphasizes the importance of direct bookings for tour operators.The journey into marketing often starts from a creative background.Niche focus can lead to greater success in the tourism industry.Delegation is key for tour operators to focus on what they love.Understanding the needs of tour operators is crucial for effective marketing.Storytelling enhances the customer experience in tourism.Video content is a powerful tool for engagement.

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim speaks with Tad Fallows, entrepreneur and founder of Long Angle, a private community for individuals with $2.2M+ in investable assets. They discuss how wealth creators think about investing, raising children without entitlement, and maintaining purpose after a business exit. 3 Key Takeaways: Portfolio strategy beyond Wall Street: High-net-worth individuals are moving away from traditional 60/40 portfolios, favoring private equity, real assets, and niche alternative investments for uncorrelated, equity-like returns. Post-exit risk mindset: Many entrepreneurs opt for higher-return, illiquid investments rather than de-risking, based on the belief that volatility is manageable when wealth exceeds basic needs. Raising children with financial independence: The most consistent concern among members of Fallows' community is how to instill grit and self-sufficiency in children growing up with financial abundance. If you're serious about breaking away from conventional thinking and building lasting wealth, this conversation offers a clear window into how high-level entrepreneurs manage their capital, family, and future.

You didn't choose the mission — the mission chose you.And if you've always felt that quiet inner knowing, that sense you were here to hold something rare, powerful, and different... this episode is going to activate you.In this transmission, I'm speaking directly to those of you who know you're meant for something bigger — but are feeling the distortion of trying to serve from persona when you're actually here to embody symbol.I talk about:Why you've been chosen to hold an essence the world needsHow to recognise when you're in Persona vs. when you've become SymbolWhat really happens in the Projection Field™ (and how to stop getting knocked off your path)Why your essence — not your effort — is what creates true wealth and impactHow to create a receiving structure that allows millions (even billions) to flow back to you without energetic leakage or karmic imbalanceYou'll also hear stories about David Beckham, Eckhart Tolle, and why people who don't “look spiritual” can still be holding planetary-level frequency codes.If you're one of the Chosen Ones, this will help you remember your path, clean up your field, and begin building the legacy only you can hold.I guide women through a 21-day initiation to prepare to cross into Symbol and build receiving structures that match the essence they came here to hold.If you know this is your moment and you are at the $1-2M+ in your business — reach out.jess@goinward.co.ukwww.goinward.co.ukjessfenton.substack.comwww.instagram.com/goinward

Jess Fenton unpacks the often-misunderstood energetic patterns that emerge in spiritual businesses hovering around the $1M–$2M revenue mark. Far from being a matter of burnout, Jess reveals that what's actually happening is a dense projection field entangling the business owner with their clients, audience, and identity.Drawing parallels between business and romantic relationships, Jess explores the honeymoon period, karmic contracts, and the subtle yet powerful shift into codependency that silently kills expansion. This episode offers a wake-up call and a way through — especially if your business is starting to feel heavier, your launches aren't hitting, or your creativity has dulled.She also shares why she's opted out of the spiritual community, how projection affects your nervous system and visibility, and why overgiving is blocking the next level of wealth.Whether you're moving toward $5M+ or simply want to clear space for speed, precision, and lightness — this conversation will rewire how you hold your business and yourself.✨ In this episode, you'll learn:Why $1–$2M/year is the densest point in business energetically — and how to dissolve itThe surprising link between romantic relationships and your client relationshipsWhy Jess rejects the healing identity — and what she chooses insteadHow the coaching industry accidentally creates projection fields and resentmentThe truth about overgiving, responsibility, and martyrdom in spiritual businessHow to restructure your business to support freedom, fun, and expansive incomeThe energetic architecture behind clear launches and effortless money flow

Learn how to scale beyond seven figures using podcast-driven growth Everyone's chasing the latest marketing tricks while I've been watching smart business owners quietly use one simple strategy to close huge deals. In this episode, I sit down with Tom Hunt to share the truth about B2B podcasting that most people get wrong. We talk about how his 11th podcast guest became a $2M client before the episode even went live, why 97% of your prospects aren't ready to buy right now, and the 7-hour rule that can cut your sales time in half. This isn't about making content - it's about making money. Tom Hunt runs Fame, the B2B podcast company that helps businesses like Gong, Canva, Paddle, and Zendesk grow behind the scenes. He found this secret while working in marketing and turned it into a simple system that turns every podcast recording into a sales meeting. What I love about Tom is he doesn't just talk about making money from podcasts - he shows you exactly how to turn your show into a machine that brings in clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The real money in B2B podcasting comes from your guests becoming customers, not from building a huge audience of listeners. You can get ROI from podcasting in the short term by inviting potential customers and partners as guests on your show. 97% of your market isn't ready to buy right now, so you need a strategy to capture them when they are ready to purchase. Consumption drives conversion - prospects who consume 7+ hours of your content are much more likely to buy from you. One podcast episode can create weeks of content across social media, email, and other marketing channels. B2B podcasting is the hardest content to grow but the most valuable because you get 30-60 minutes of someone's undivided attention. Before you focus on getting more leads, fix your customer retention first because keeping clients is the foundation of growth. The best podcast positioning combines a clear niche (who you serve) with a unique edge (what makes you different from everyone else). Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.
