What if the reason you're stuck isn't your budget—but the fact that you started with one? I'm joined by Dr. Annie Cole, founder of Money Essentials for Women, who turned a $26K social work salary into $1 million in real estate, nearly $400K in investments, and shaved 20 years off her retirement date—all before turning 40. Her secret? A radically different approach to wealth building that doesn't start with pinching pennies. Annie walks us through her 5-Step Wealth Framework, including how to create a financial vision that actually aligns with your life, the real reason high-earning women still feel broke, and why investing just $1 could be the best place to start. In this episode we discuss: A clear understanding of why budgeting is not your starting line The mindset shift that took Annie from broke to financially free Three different ways to structure your budget based on your life goals Why your income isn't the biggest factor in wealth-building—and what is  How to start investing today (even if you're scared and have no idea where to start) How to break free from outdated financial beliefs that keep women playing small The #1 habit that accelerated Annie's wealth and financial freedom How to spend under your means without feeling restricted Why financial planning > penny pinching How to release shame and take control, even if you're starting from zero Learn more and connect with Annie: Website: https://money-essentials.com Instagram: @moneyessentialsforwomen You'll Walk Away Knowing:  Budgeting is often seen as restrictive and can keep people stuck. A life vision is essential for effective financial planning. Financial goals should align with personal values and aspirations. Income alone does not equate to financial freedom. Investing is crucial for building wealth and passive income. Creating a financial plan can empower individuals to make intentional decisions. Unexpected expenses are a part of life; having a buffer is important. Mindset shifts are necessary for overcoming financial limitations. Women often hold outdated beliefs about money and work. Money coaching fills the gap between financial advice and personal finance education. Here is that blog post I wrote that answers the question "How Do I Start Investing?"

Today, we're going to dive into a mindset shift that every high-earning professional needs to hear, especially our ER doc families making strong incomes. It's tempting to think that a $400K household is financially invincible. But the truth is: the system isn't designed to make you wealthy. It's designed to keep you comfortable.  And comfortable, if you're not careful, is the enemy of wealthy. We're going to walk through a real-world hypothetical of a $400K-earning ER doc, a stay-at-home parent, two kids, and all the common expenses that come with the lifestyle to show you exactly how easy it is to spin your wheels and not actually build wealth.

In this episode of The Jered Williams Show, Jered sits down with Tristan Mitton, owner of a Phoenix-based pool repair, cleaning, and remodeling company.

They dive into the realities of home services, why most pool guys suck, how GMB suspensions can cripple a business, and why dropshipping often fails. It's a real and unfiltered look at what it takes to build something that lasts.

If you want a real-world blueprint for explosive growth in the drinks industry, look no further than Carbliss — an independently owned RTD brand that scaled from a home kitchen experiment to 2.7 million cases in 2024 — in just five years.In this episode, we sit down with Adam Kroener, co-founder and president of Carbliss, to break down how he's disrupting the RTD category with a product-first, regionally focused strategy.

Episode Overview In this episode with Jesse Dau, we unpack the evolving strategies behind content-driven real estate growth. From mastering YouTube and video leverage to understanding how to attract top-tier clients and agents, Jesse shares how creators like his wife and others are thriving in a challenging market by going all-in on intentional content strategy and smart systems. Key Topics Covered: The Power of Video & YouTube Why long-form YouTube content is still the best lead generation tool for real estate. How Jesse's wife makes $200K working just 2 days a month using a focused content model. The difference between entertaining and educational content—and why it matters. Leverage & Scaling Smart How to work less and make more by building a content system that fits your lifestyle goals. Leveraging a videographer as a business partner vs. just a contractor. The “Director Mindset” for hiring creatives that fuel your growth. Agent Attraction the Right Way The critical difference between marketing to agents vs. consumers—and why most agents get it wrong. Jesse's proven playbook for recruiting producers, not just people. The overlooked opportunity with bilingual agents and underserved YouTube markets. Staying Relevant in Shifting Markets Why the agents thriving right now are doubling down on content. How home tours have evolved from a “never” strategy to a lead magnet when done right. Using today's slow market to dial in systems and dominate when momentum returns. Actionable Advice Nail your goals first: What do you want your business to look like? Then reverse-engineer your content around it. Open houses and FSBOs still work—don't ignore the basics while building your brand. Consistency over perfection: Show up, keep improving, and let the compound effect do its thing.

Capital Raised and Deal Structure Dr. Raj Venkatramani, a pediatric oncologist turned real estate capital allocator, has raised approximately $20 million from investors, 95% of whom are doctors, since launching REIDOC Capital in 2021. His typical deal size ranges from $10 million to $30 million, and on average he raises $2 million per deal.   His primary focus is on multifamily properties of at least 100 units, targeting Class A and B assets and new construction projects, rather than Class C properties, following hard-earned lessons from the market peak in 2021.   Leveraging Group Capital for Better Returns Dr. Raj secures better economics for his investors by leveraging group capital. While a typical syndication might offer a 15% IRR with a 6-7% preferred return, Raj pools investors together to negotiate, for example, an 80/20 split (instead of 70/30) and an 8% preferred return, effectively increasing investor returns without requiring larger individual commitments.   Underwriting and Market Lessons His underwriting philosophy is focused on analyzing sponsor assumptions, particularly around rent growth projections, occupancy expectations, expense growth, and debt structure. He talks about how bad assumptions can make a weak deal look good, citing an early investment in a Class C Florida asset where insurance costs doubled (from $196K to $400K in one year) and variable rate debt wiped out NOI.   Transition to Ground-Up Development Raj expanded the kinds of deal he invests in from value-add to ground-up development and now partners on new construction projects in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a market he believes is undervalued. His due diligence process before partnering with a sponsor involves a multi-year vetting process, meeting them at conferences, reviewing past deals, and even visiting completed projects before committing capital.   LinkedIn as a Primary Investor Source Perhaps most surprising is how he sources capital: 90% of his investors have never met him in person, and nearly all were acquired through LinkedIn and referrals. His LinkedIn strategy? Post consistently for two years, even when people don't engage, until they reach out ready to invest.   Key Takeaway: Trust but Verify His biggest lesson? Trust but verify—real estate is not medicine, where all parties have the same goal. Misalignment of incentives is real, and capital allocators must be rigorous in due diligence to avoid costly mistakes.   *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry.   In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space.   PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.   Visit GowerCrowd.com/subscribe
