Nick hasn't had the easiest life but has created one of joy from a lot of pain. His father turned out to be a drug dealer who held his family hostage and by 1995 the abuse had gotten so bad that his mother tried to leave him.

That's when he was pulled into roofing from one of his best friends who knew he was facing tough times. Together they built a multimillion-dollar roofing company with a huge number of accolades. Nick became the COO of the firm and built it up but he quickly learned working with friends is trouble too and turned back to drugs. After sobering up in 2017 he carried a solar company up to 2.5M and started his own company.

Josh began investing regularly in stocks in 1999 at the age of 18. He shifted to real estate in 2005 at 24, using the cheap leverage offered by the Fed's easy money policies. He ultimately shifted into short-term rentals (STRs) from 2012-2023 and historic bed & breakfast (B&B) and boutique hotel properties beginning in 2022. He bet on himself and has successfully grown a $30,000 401k loan in 2012 to more than $5M in just 10 years of smart real estate investing through his principles of information arbitrage. Josh moved to Charleston from the Washington, DC, area in 1999 to complete a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at the College of Charleston. He graduated from the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina with an MBA in 2010. After spending nearly 20 years of his professional career growing businesses primarily supporting the US Navy, he decided to rent a single bedroom in 2012 on VRBO long before the proliferation of Airbnb. Since that single-bedroom rental 11 years ago, he has grown his portfolio into several businesses owning short-term rental investments and actual B&B properties, both alone and with partners, as well as managing a $60M+ portfolio and over $3M in annual bookings for his clients to help them meet their long-term investment property goals. His management portfolio spans 8 cities in 2 states and continues to grow annually at a rate of more than 100% for each of the past 4 years. He loves supporting his clients, growing their investments, and hosting thousands of guests each year as they visit Charleston and the Smokies through his property management company, Coastal Vacation Properties (CVP), and his B&B properties, The Ashley and 1837 B&B. linktr.ee/joshhatterTwitter https://twitter.com/joshuaghatterInstagram https://www.instagram.com/joshuaghatterFacebook https://www.facebook.com/joshuaghatterLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuahatterCoastal https://www.instagram.com/staycvpCVP https://www.facebook.com/StayCV

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes. My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Companies Coming Up: A new logo is up at TechRise and this one represents a company in the NIL community building space. YOKE is leveraging the transformative shift in college sports occurring with the new name, image, and likeness legislation. Now universities and athletic departments have powerful software enabling teams to grow a business through building community and engaging with fans. YOKE's software simplifies the process of launching and maintaining an online community while also handling automated payments and reporting for tax and compliance purposes. Led by CEO Mick Assaf, YOKE is growing fast. We put their link: Yoketeam.com in the show notes.

Product of the Week: With our experience through Intown Golf Club and the renovate of The Killearn Club down in Tallahassee, some interesting golf applications come across our desk and this is one of them and it's called Pinz (Pinz). This product of the week comes out of Mobile, Alabama from a proven entrepreneur. Mike Stashik, who is solving the problem of the complexity of on course competition. For the golfers listening, how many time have you played in a large group or outing and keeping tabs on the game is too much effort. Games either have to be kept simple or there is a calculator used at the end after you've thrown your $20 dollars in. Pinz seeks to bring even more fun to the game by providing software that integrates in the USGA's handicap system and makes game creation, scoring, and competition that much more simple and livelier. If you're in a weekly golf game, check out Pinz. Feature Release of the Week: Our friends at AnyDistance have launched their 4.0 version of the product this week and it's big. This update is all around enhancing your community. The feature is called Active Clubs through AnyDistance and it's designed to empower and support individuals on their active life journey while fostering a close-knit community of like-minded friends. If you're looking to lead a healthier, happier life by embracing various activities and lifestyles with friends, we put the link to the Product Hunt launch in the show notes. Raise a Glass: Two fantastic raises this week. First is from one we covered not that long ago called Mi Alma. The Arogeti's Jordan and Scott, started a company to support families in need after a lost one. Mi Alma provides the tools and documentation methods to memorialize legacies of lost ones. They raised $1.5M. Congrats to the Arogeti's on taking the next financial step in the Mi Alma journey. Second, Alan Pledger, the CEO of MakeSwift, announced they raised $3M led by Active Capital. MakeSwift removes the technical barriers marketers face when managing a complex enterprise website. They've done this by creating a visual builder for Next.js which empowers marketers to build and manage these sites using React components that act as custom building blocks in our no-code editor. The technical bar has been lowered so marketers can push copy, landing pages, and make swift changes. Congrats to Alan and team on the raise! Annnnnd that's five minutes!

In 2012, Stacey Magovern got the idea for Point Blank Safety Services, a business that would facilitate off-duty work for police officers. And for two years, the business was in a holding pattern. Stacey formed an LLC and had business cards printed, but Point Blank was struggling to gain traction. Then, in 2014, Stacey got a package addressed to Point Blank Safety with a $1.5M contract for a highway construction project. Stacey went from working as an outside salesperson to running a multimillion-dollar company overnight, and Point Blank became one of the most successful traffic safety and security companies in Texas. She leveraged the success of Point Blank to launch the Blue Family Fund, a nonprofit that provides financial aid to families of injured or fallen first responders. Stacey is also a contributor to Wickedly Smart Women: Trusting Intuition, Taking Action, Transforming Worlds. On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Stacey joins Anjel to explain how she learned entrepreneurship by example and share some of the lessons she learned from the epic failure of her first business. Stacey describes how she developed the willingness to ask for help and encourages us to focus on revenue-generating activities in our business and outsource everything else. Listen in to understand how Stacey navigated the overwhelm of receiving an unexpected $1.5M contract and learn what to do if you've inadvertently created a job for yourself instead of a sustainable business.

How will AI end up disrupting knowledge work? Should I quit web development before AI eliminates the industry? Will AI create mass job loss in the next five years?

Scott Duke is an M&A advisor and the founder of eleven companies. He started his first company while in university to pay for school without taking on a lot of student debt. The company was a painting company, similar to College Pro. When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, interest rates have a huge impact. When interest rates double, banks use a debt servicing ratio to determine how much they are willing to lend. This directly impacts the cash flow of businesses, as the same amount of money is needed to service debt. Scott's story is similar to most entrepreneurs as they start out small and then eventually get into larger ventures.Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/8X2YPg0ulto--------------------------------------------------Contact Scott onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgordonduke/Website: https://opnroad.io/--------------------------------------------------How2Exit Joins ITX's Channel Partner Network!-Why ITX?Since 1998, ITX has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.
