In today's episode, we're tackling one of the most asked-about topics in the game—how to become a successful government consultant. Whether you're doing this full-time or trying to make it work on the side, this episode lays out the real blueprint. I'm walking you step-by-step through everything I've learned in the trenches—how to structure your business legally, how to find and pitch to million-dollar companies, how to position yourself as a value-add even if you've got zero past performance. I'm not holding anything back. We're talking capability statements, payment structures, how to charge, and exactly how to get companies to want you repping them in the federal space. This episode is your no-BS starter kit to making six figures and more as a consultant. If you're out here watching YouTube videos but not getting real traction, stop. You don't need more theory. You need a partner, a plan, and a path—and this episode gives you all three. I even break down why companies making $10M, $20M, or $30M a year will listen to YOU if you've done the work and know how to speak their language. So grab a pen, take notes, and let's get to work. It's time to stop thinking and start consulting.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with seasoned investor Mark Zawaideh and strategic partner Curt Shewell to unpack what every real estate agent must understand about wealth, leverage, and building a portfolio that will lead you to true financial freedom. Mark shares how he scaled from broke agent to owning over 40 properties—and how one key mindset shift turned $600K in equity into $30M in assets. Together, they break down the dangerous myths agents believe about wealth, why owning a team is not a retirement plan, and how to start thinking like an investor starting today. Key Topics Covered The Scarcity Trap vs. Investor Mindset How Mark's early money beliefs kept him stuck (and how he broke free). The critical difference between “saving” and “scaling” through leverage. Why paying off properties early can actually kill your momentum. Using Real Estate As a Wealth Vehicle Why selling more homes won't build lasting wealth—and what will. How Mark scaled from 1 house to 43 rentals in under 10 years. Turning equity into cash flow: the power of 1031 exchanges and strategic refinancing. How to Make the Shift from Agent to Owner to Owning $100M Portfolio  The real risk: owning just 1-2 rental properties and no game plan. Why scaling to 30, 50, or 100+ doors creates less risk, not more. How to use your real estate business to find deals, not just earn commissions. Building Wealth Through Depreciation & Tax Strategy Why depreciation alone could be worth six figures in tax savings. How Mark paid zero in taxes—and got a refund—while earning 7 figures. The difference between earning more… and keeping more. Scaling Beyond Single-Family into Commercial & Multifamily How Mark turned four homes into a 48-unit apartment complex. The mindset shift from “buy and hold” to “scale and grow.” Multifamily vs. single-family: pros, cons, and what most agents miss. Why Real Estate Teams Are Not an Exit Strategy The hard truth about brokerage valuations and “team” exits. Why most teams become burdens, not assets, without investment income. Using your team to unlock opportunity—not just production. The Investor Mastermind & What's Coming Next How Mark and Curt are creating a community for agents ready to build wealth. Why most agents don't lack opportunity—they lack strategy and proximity. What to expect from their upcoming course, community, and coaching framework.

Their discussion centers on the critical challenges CFOs face during mergers and acquisitions, with particular emphasis on post-acquisition integration and avoiding burnout. Kathy brings extensive experience from her career spanning multiple private equity-owned companies where she managed numerous acquisitions, growing one company from $30 million to over $130 million in revenue.  The conversation highlights the importance of simplifying organizational structures post-acquisition to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Kathy shares valuable insights on managing teams through periods of change, emphasizing communication and addressing performance issues promptly. Her transition from corporate CFO roles to fractional CFO consulting reflects a growing trend among finance executives seeking more balanced careers while still leveraging their expertise to help growing companies avoid costly mistakes. About Kathy Kinder:Kathy Kinder is a former CFO with over 30 years of experience managing accounting, HR, legal and facilities. She focused her expertise as a CFO for tech companies, facilitating over 13 acquisitions. These acquisitions cover private asset and stock sales, carve outs of public companies, and public take private situations.  An original founder of LiftBridge, Kathy is now largely retired from direct client work but still contributes as a mentor to those wanting to grow their CFO skills, or for founders needing basic background or increased practical understanding of business and finance. Kathy, along with her co-founders Kay Whitaker and Ashley Vukovits, won the 2022 Mira Award for Service Partner of the Year. The judges for the Mira Awards, presented by TechPoint, ‘determined LiftBridge's effectiveness with its clients is likely to have a lasting impact on the success of the Indiana tech ecosystem startups and scale-ups well past the critical five-year survival mark'. Kathy is a dog lover and former owner of a doggy boarding and daycare business.  Key topics covered: Kathy led finance teams through 11-12 acquisitions under Battery Ventures, managing accounting, revenue recognition, HR, facilities, and legal contracts while navigating the complexities of rapid growth  Post-acquisition integration requires simplification of organizational structures, including consolidating federal ID numbers to reduce redundant reporting and standardizing employee benefit plans across merged entities  Effective team management during M&A transitions depends on clear communication and treating team members as valued contributors rather than subordinates  Addressing underperforming team members promptly is essential during acquisitions to maintain overall team morale and productivity  The multi-faceted role of a CFO during M&A requires broad knowledge across business functions, with Kathy emphasizing that there are "no stupid questions" when navigating unfamiliar territory  Transitioning to fractional CFO work can provide a less stressful alternative for experienced finance executives while allowing them to mentor growing companies and help them avoid common pitfalls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAYQOwPdyhA Links Kathy Kinder on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps 00:01:04: Introduction to the podcast and explanation of the recording process with new mentor Kathy. 00:05:00-00:10:00: Kathy shares her background from "bean counter" at Stokely Van Camp to managing growth at a tech company that went public. 00:08:30-00:10:45: Experience leading finance through 11-12 acquisitions under Battery Ventures, growing from $30M to $130M in revenue.

Nick Huber is an accomplished entrepreneur and real estate investor based in Athens, Georgia. Best known for building a $30M+ annual revenue portfolio that includes 68 self-storage properties, Nick also owns companies like somewhere.com, Bolt Storage, and RE Cost Seg. He's recognized for his no-nonsense advice on entrepreneurship, his book The Sweaty Startup, and his focus on building wealth through practical, “boring” businesses rather than chasing flashy startup trends. Nick's unique perspective comes from real-world experience, not just theory, making him a sought-after voice for aspiring business owners. On this episode we talk about: – How Nick made his first and most recent dollar – The importance of picking the right business “vehicle” – Why cash is king in real estate investing – The realities of self-storage and why it's not truly “passive income” – Building businesses that solve real problems (like RE Cost Seg and somewhere.com) Top 3 Takeaways 1. Pick the right business vehicle: Success isn't just about working hard-it's about working smart in industries where you can win, even if you're “average.” 2. Cash matters in real estate: Contrary to popular advice, Nick argues you need capital to succeed in real estate; “no money down” deals are risky and rare. 3. Business is a long game: Building wealth takes years, often generations. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and focus on boring, proven businesses.

I love discovering founders who are using technology to democratize access to services that have traditionally been out of reach for many people. That's why I was so excited to speak with Alexander Harmsen, the founder and CEO of Global Predictions. Alexander created PortfolioPilot, an AI-powered financial advisor that helps individuals take control of their financial lives without the high fees or intimidation factor of traditional firms. What started as a personal side project has become a platform managing over $30 billion in assets all while helping simplify investing for the everyday person. In our conversation, Alexander shares how he's building not just a product, but a movement to empower everyday investors with real, personalized advice.

From Textiles to Tech: Michiel's Unconventional PathMichiel Scheffer's roots lie in the textile industry, but his career has always been at the crossroads of manufacturing, innovation, and public policy. Starting with a thesis on EU research in 1986, he's worn many hats—consultant, regional politician, and academic. His experience designing startup support mechanisms at a regional level set the stage for his role at the EIC, where he now shapes pan-European funding strategy for deep tech.Inside the EIC: Europe's Engine for InnovationThe European Innovation Council was established in 2018 to help Europe compete globally by backing breakthrough technologies. With funding instruments aligned across Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) —from Pathfinder (TRL 1–4), Transition (TRL 4–6), to Accelerator (TRL 6–9)—the EIC covers the full innovation funnel. It doesn't just provide grants and equity investments, but also business acceleration services, policy advocacy, and ecosystem building.Grant size: ~€2.5MEquity investments: €2.5M to €10M (up to €30M via STEP instrument)Target companies: Deep tech startups with long commercialization timelines and high potential impactBuilding a “Single Market for Startups”Scheffer sees the EIC as more than just a funder—it's a catalyst for a unified European startup ecosystem. Through initiatives like the Trusted Investors Network (78+ VCs collaborating on EIC-backed startups), corporate matchmaking, and strategic programs in quantum, biotech, and advanced materials, the EIC aims to reduce fragmentation and accelerate scale across borders.Deep Tech is a Long Game—And Europe Needs PatienceScheffer emphasizes that EIC funds companies with a 5+ year horizon to profitability, deliberately avoiding short-term, SaaS-style ventures. Startups in areas like quantum computing, biotechnology, sustainable materials, and medical imaging need time—and serious support—to succeed. That's why the EIC targets startups with real traction, typically 7+ years old, with clear market understanding and a mature go-to-market strategy.Breaking Barriers: Regulation, Scaling, and SovereigntyScheffer's vision goes beyond funding. He's vocal about:The need for smarter regulation, not deregulation—especially in health, energy, and foodThe challenges of scaling startups beyond €20M rounds in EuropeStrategic autonomy in data, energy, materials, and agri-food systemsSupport for a potential 28th EU business regime to simplify multinational startup operationsReal Impact Over Vanity MetricsOne of Scheffer's key messages is ensuring deep tech reaches the real world. It's not enough to have promising startups in labs or accelerator programs—what matters is whether they create jobs, products, and solutions that citizens across Europe can see and benefit from. His benchmark? “What will my daughters say in 20 years about what I've done?”Advice for Founders: Think Long, Pitch RealScheffer urges founders to:Be strategic: Don't apply too early or with incoherent proposalsUnderstand EU context: Funding decisions factor in climate, digital, and strategic autonomy goalsAvoid buzzwords: Clearly define your tech, impact, and commercialization planConnect through ecosystem channels: LinkedIn, EIC ambassadors, and board membersLearn MoreEuropean Innovation Council (EIC) Be sure to follow Sesamers on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X for more cool stories from the people we catch during the best Tech events!

Rebecca Shostak is co-founder and chief brand officer of Flodesk, the popular email marketing software for small businesses that care about beautiful branded emails. After prototyping the product and validating the problem, they launched in 2019 with a viral explosion that still powers their bootstrapped growth.  Six years later, Flodesk has over $30M in annual recurring revenues with 75 employees and over 100,000 paid customers. They have been profitable since the second week after launch, driven by great product design, the email footer “viral loop,” and referrals from customers and influencers.  In this episode, Rebecca shares her insights on product design, their unlimited pricing model, working with her co-founder/CEO, Martha Bitar, why they haven't taken outside funding, and where AI is showing usefulness in their products. Quote from Rebecca Shostack, co-founder of Flodesk “The reason you hire is never to solve a problem. You need to be sharp and figure out how to solve the problem on your own. Then, you hire people once you've proven something.  “When you want to hire someone to run your paid ads, for example, you first need to figure out the basics. Then, you can hire someone to come in to own that so they can scale that operation.  “But it doesn't work to hire someone to come in and figure out something that you can't figure out yourself. How can you hire someone to manage something you don't understand?” Links Rebecca Shostak on LinkedIn Flodesk on LinkedIn Flodesk website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.
