In this special episode, Rent To Retirement founder Zach LeMaster joins the Lifestyle Dentist Podcast to share how he went from practicing optometry to building a real estate portfolio that ultimately gave his family financial independence.Zach shares how he and his wife used rental real estate to gradually replace their active income, giving them the freedom to continue practicing healthcare because they enjoy it—not because they financially have to. The conversation explores passive income, long-term wealth creation, real estate tax advantages, cost segregation, leverage, and how busy professionals can invest without turning real estate into another full-time job.

Bitcoin keeps bouncing off the $80,000 resistance level, and Matt explains why profit-taking is the biggest obstacle right now. Institutional investors are locking in strong gains, the short squeeze that helped drive the first leg higher is losing momentum, and roughly $6.4 billion in Bitcoin options are set to expire Friday. At the same time, ETF demand remains strong, with about $314 million in Tuesday inflows and roughly $3 billion for August, making sustained institutional buying the key to turning $80K from resistance into support. The episode also looks at why the Treasury market and the debasement trade matter more to Bitcoin than oil prices, Revolut beginning to roll out its euro-backed EURR stablecoin, and the Tornado Cash retrial being pushed to 2027. Matt argues that Bitcoin still has a real path toward $90K if it can close above $80K and stay there, but warns that every new price level will bring fresh sellers, profit-taking, and resistance. Happy HODLing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bitcoin is pushing against the $80,000 barrier after one of its strongest weeks in months, driven by improving Treasury-market liquidity, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows, short liquidations, and a fresh wave of FOMO. Matt explains why $80K could be difficult to break and hold as investors who bought at higher prices finally get a chance to exit, while $90K and $100K could create even larger psychological barriers. The episode also covers the CLARITY Act as a potential September catalyst, Strategy raising roughly $2 billion without buying more Bitcoin, Circle and the continued explosion of stablecoin activity, and huge weekly gains across XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, and Dogecoin. With the Fear & Greed Index already at 81, Matt remains cautious and says Bitcoin needs to break $80K and hold it before the conversation moves seriously toward $90K and beyond. Happy HODLing.

Online events tend to convert weak. Connection feels distant. People disappear after the training. Then you run an in-person workshop. Same content. Same you. And something magic happens. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the in-person workshop formula that separates six-figure coaches from seven-figure coaches. This is Part 1 of a deep dive into the most powerful tool for scaling your business in 2026. One of my Elite clients went from $15K-$20K a month to $90K a month. After Sell from Stage Live, she told me "I never would have created this without your program." That conversation wouldn't have meant the same in a Zoom call. Here's what most people don't realize: in an AI world where information is everywhere, real human connection is becoming increasingly rare and increasingly valuable. In-person workshops create that connection. They build community. They increase enrollment. They create stickiness so clients stay longer. What you'll learn: → The 5 big reasons in-person events work (and why online can't compete) → Results - Information becomes implementation when people are in the room → Ascension - The magnetic pull of being physically present with the leader → Proof - Real footage of you on stage becomes your best marketing asset in an AI world → Community - Peer bonds that can't be created online → Stickiness - How in-person events keep clients longer and more committed → The three types of workshops - Implementation events, signature live events, intimate intensives Real insights from the episode: Why I spent $50K at a free event (the power of in-person) The client transformation story: $15K to $90K through community and connection How in-person creates proof through real footage (critical in the AI age) Why online community can't replace physical proximity The three event types explained (and which one to run first) Why cutoff dates and early-bird bonuses drive registration The follow-up sequence that keeps momentum after the event Join us at Sell From Stage Live in-person event September 18th and 19th in Huntington Beach, California Register here: https://training.colinboyd.co/ssa-live-event Interested in Elite?

Your personality is the one thing no competitor can copy. So why is everyone still copying each other?   Sophie Milham grew Odd Muse from 90K to 500K on TikTok and from just under 100K to 900K on Instagram — in two and a half years, straight out of a fashion styling degree, having never studied marketing in her life. She then became the very first hire at electrolyte brand SULT, who launched into Boots with a waitlist built before the product even existed.   So when Sophie says stop chasing the algorithm, it's worth putting your phone down and listening.   This one comes straight from the stage at Fashion Marketing Live, Elizabeth's sold-out event for fashion brand founders, and it is a proper masterclass in the thing most brands are still getting backwards: personality beats polish, every single time.   What Sophie covers:   The three places your brand's personality actually lives — founder-led content, employee-generated content (EGC), and personal branding — and how to pick the one that suits you Why LinkedIn is the most untapped platform in fashion right now, and what to post on it that isn't boring Storytelling over aesthetic: why the perfectly curated grid has had its day, and the 80/20 split Sophie uses instead How SULT built a waitlist of buyers before there was a website, a product, or a single sample The £100 giveaway stunt that put half a million people onto SULT before Sophie's first day Why the month the Boots launch went wrong got the best engagement of the year Your social media is your CV — and the pitch deck Sophie replaced with a list of Reels links The "what's in, what's out" rundown you'll want to screenshot Plus a genuinely brilliant Q&A on luxury pricing, messy content, and whether to keep your personal and brand accounts separate   If you have ever spent your 9-to-5 scrolling for research and your 5-to-9 doom scrolling for "inspiration", this episode is your permission slip to stop.   "People buy from people. They don't just buy a product."       Find Sophie LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sophie-milham-1636221b9 Instagram: @sophiemilhamx TikTok: @sophiemilhamx Mentioned in this episode SULT — drinksult.com · founders Milly Goldsmith & Henry Porpora · in Boots Odd Muse London — oddmuse.co.uk · founder Aimee Smale · @oddmuselondon Capala Swim — capalaswim.com · @capalaswim PerfectTed and Surreal — brands she says are doing employee LinkedIn content properly!

Most contractors aren't running bad companies — they're running good ones that have hit a ceiling. The same is true of estimates. Plenty of contractors write a good estimate. Far fewer write a great one.In this 200th episode of Contractor Cuts, Clark and James break down the specific differences between a good estimator and a great one — and why that gap is where your profit quietly lives.They cover:Why the estimator role looks completely different for a GC than for a trade companyGood estimators price the drawings — great estimators price what's actually going to happenSpotting pinch points and design problems the architect and homeowner missedWhy inclusions AND exclusions are what protect your marginWriting an estimate three audiences can read: the client, the crew, and a future project managerWhy markup shouldn't be the same percentage on every line itemHow risk and time — not just cost — should drive what you make on a lineThe 48-hour turnaround and the estimate delivery process that wins jobsWhy an estimate that starts at $50K and ends at $90K burns your reputationIf you've ever landed the job and then watched the profit disappear, the problem probably started on the estimate.

That's the Cube Land story — and we love it!We break down Cube Land Puzzle by RotateLab (Turkey) — a 3D voxel "destroy the picture" blast puzzler where you rotate a pixel-art object (a gummy bear, a Rubik's cube, a piano, a submarine) and blast matching cubes off it into number-tile slots. They cover why the 3D layer makes it a near-perfect iteration on This Is Blast / Pixel Flow (the rotation adds real strategy and satisfaction a flat conveyor can't), the deliberately light-but-solid feature set (standard blockers, Crown Tournament, Skylift, a journey milestone track, ~650 levels), and the numbers: ~$90K/day IAP visible on Sensor Tower (the hosts estimate the true figure at 1.5-2x that, roughly $150K IAP + ads for a likely ~$300K/day total, with a DAU spike toward ~700K and strong Japan traffic).

Caylee Robles is a retired CPA turned Florida real estate agent who spent five years earning her accounting credentials at the University of Wisconsin before walking away from Deloitte to chase real estate. After six months without a paycheck, a $90,000 wholesaling run, and two years of raiding her own tax account, she built a Profit First system that now pays her a salary every 1st and 15th and could carry her through six months of zero income.David Richter and Caylee dig into why agents stay trapped in feast or famine, why she deliberately chose the lower risk agent path over investing, and the exact account structure that let her double three years of income in a single year. If you're a real estate agent or investor whose commissions land straight in your personal checking account, this episode is your wake-up call.Timeline Summary[0:33] – David sets up the episode: thinking like a business owner and building systems that keep more of your money[1:15] – Caylee shares her backstory: decided at age eight to become an accountant, earned her CPA at the University of Wisconsin[2:39] – Within a month at her first accounting job she knew she hated it, searching real estate jobs every night during busy season[3:43] – Where her "do hard things" wiring came from: two parents in sales who worked 25 years before the payoff[6:07] – The three year transition out of accounting: Deloitte auditing, a real estate internship, and an Austin transfer that closed the door[7:42] – Underwriting $1 million plus luxury leased homes across the Caribbean, Mexico, and South Florida[8:08] – Joining New Western at the end of 2022: "you eat what you kill," 75 to 80 hour weeks, and two months with no income[9:39] – Six months without making a dollar, then $90,000 in three months wholesaling with her partner[10:10] – Setting up her LLC and Profit First accounts on Relay before the money ever showed up[11:49] – The two year struggle: pulling from her tax account to pay personal credit cards during the lean stretch[13:38] – The 2025 turning point: repeat client business and splits big enough that she never touches her owner's distribution account[16:38] – Her S corp structure: salary every 1st and 15th, SEP IRA contributions, and distributions on top[17:19] – In 2025 she doubled what she made in the three prior years combined, and 2026 has already matched it[21:25] – Why agent risk beats investor risk: her downside is time, while investors she works with have $300,000 on the line[23:21] – Diversifying beyond real estate: 401k, SEP IRA, joint investments, and a 3% interest rate home that becomes a rental[29:59] – Her one move to make this week: set it up as a business with an LLC and dedicated business accounts5 Key TakeawaysTreat Yourself Like a Business Owner — Whether you're an agent or an investor, you're self-employed, and that means acting like it. An LLC, a business checking account, and dedicated tax and owner's pay accounts come before anything else.Set Up the System Before the Money Arrives — Caylee opened her Profit First accounts while she was broke, so when the $90K hit there was already a place for every dollar. The foundation matters more than the timing.Risk Your Time, Not Your Money — She left investing for the agent side on purpose. A canceled listing costs her hours, while an overleveraged flip can cost an investor six figures at inspection.Automation Removes the Willpower Problem — Money hits her Relay account and splits instantly: credit cards paid, SEP IRA funded, salary scheduled. She only touches the system when she overspends.A Buffer Buys You the Power of No — With six months of runway in the business, a slow summer doesn't create panic. Financial cushion is what turns "what do I need to do" into "what do I want to do next."Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comFollow Caylee Robles on Instagram — https://instagram.com/thedailycayleeRelay business banking — https://relayfi.comProfit First by Mike MichalowiczEnjoyed This Episode?If Caylee's story of going from raiding her tax account to a self-paying salary every two weeks hit close to home, don't keep it to yourself.

Hexa Away did something genuinely clever — it took the arrows/sort mechanic everyone's chasing and rebuilt it on a hexagonal 3D grid, which turns out to be a better fit than flat arrows ever were. Then it scaled hard on AppLovin, hit a wall, and downscaled almost completely. It's a great game and a UA cautionary tale in one.We break down Hexa Away - a hexagonal-grid sort puzzler from the CyberAgent/GooDroid studio (yes, the Uma Musume people). They cover why the hexagonal grid is a genuinely better canvas for the arrows mechanic (escape routes, tangible blockers, room for more mechanics), the standard-but-solid IAP puzzler feature set, and the numbers that make it significant: it's now the sixth-biggest sort puzzler by revenue (behind Pixel Flow, Magic Sort, Yarn Loop, Marble Sort, and Block Out), doing ~$90K/day IAP plus ~$42K/day in ads at peak, with 500K+ DAU on pristine US-heavy traffic. But the real lesson is the UA story: they went ~90% AppLovin, scaled to 800K DAU in April, then crashed back — because a ~4% day-30 retention simply can't support that level of scale, and once you burn through the AppLovin audience, the ROAS doesn't come back.The takeaway: a great core and a clever mechanic aren't enough. Concentration risk on one channel plus weak retention is how you overshoot your UA and torch your cash.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why Hexa Away is significant — the 6th-biggest sort puzzler03:40 Arrows on a hexagonal grid — "hexagons are the bestagons"07:40 The blocker framework and monetizing on difficulty11:20 The numbers — $90K/day, 500K DAU, pristine US traffic12:20 The ad-revenue breakdown — ~$42K/day, 36% of total13:30 Four new creatives, ~200 total, and the banner problem15:00 The AppLovin over-scale — 800K DAU then the crash18:30 The 4% day-30 retention that explains everythingPotensus is a premium ad network built by people who've actually been on both sides of this industry - game publishers, agencies, and successful exits.

Last week, I released a 7-part series on operational excellence, and the response was incredible. So many founders reached out saying these conversations completely shifted the way they think about growth, leadership, and building a business that doesn't rely on them for everything. So, I wanted to bring the entire series together in one place. In this episode, you'll hear all seven parts back-to-back as we dive into the systems, leadership, and operational frameworks that I've seen transform businesses over the last decade of working alongside hundreds of founders as they've crossed their next million-dollar milestone. If you've ever felt like your business can't function without you, your team constantly needs your approval, or growth has started to feel more exhausting than exciting, this episode is for you. Together, we'll explore: What systems actually are (and why software isn't one of them) The difference between systems, processes, and SOPs Why founder dependency keeps businesses stuck The five core operating systems every million-dollar business needs Why accountability starts with clarity How broken systems break great people And why operational excellence is the foundation for building a Life-First Business My hope is that this episode helps you stop reacting to your business and start intentionally designing one that creates more consistency, more profitability, more freedom, and ultimately, more life. If this series resonates with you, I'd also love to invite you to join me inside the 90K in 90 Days Strategic Planning Masterclass, where I'll walk you through building a focused 90-day plan to strengthen your business, increase profitability, and create sustainable growth without sacrificing the life you're building it for.

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Airbnb arbitrage entrepreneur Danish Azim to explore his journey from reselling phones and navigating a bankruptcy to building an 18-property short-term rental portfolio generating $80–90K a month in revenue — without owning a single property. Danish breaks down exactly how he identifies profitable markets, analyzes deals using tools like AirDNA, and pitches landlords on sublease agreements with a surprisingly effective approach. He also walks through how he furnishes, photographs, and launches properties entirely remotely, often booking guests within 24 hours of going live. From hiring virtual assistants in Pakistan to automating guest communication, Danish lays out the full operational blueprint he uses to run a tight, scalable business. If you've ever wondered how to break into the Airbnb world without a massive down payment or a ton of real estate experience, this episode is your roadmap.

At 21, Cody Berman appeared on ChooseFI as a college student discovering financial independence. Three years later, he retired at 26. Now 30 with a $5 million net worth, he's back to reveal exactly how he compressed a decades-long journey into a three-year sprint—and why the same principles work whether you're 25 or 55. The Journey from 22 to FI at 26 00:05:30 Cody's path to financial independence was methodical and aggressive. Between ages 22 and 25, he experimented with over 20 side hustles, scaling his income from $96K to more than $400K annually. The key? He kept expenses locked at just $24K per year—creating a massive gap of $625K over three years. That gap fueled three wealth-building engines: $500K in stock market investments (VOO, VTSAX, VTI) 13 rental properties generating $3,700/month in passive income Digital products businesses producing $10K/month By his 26th birthday, Cody had achieved "cashflow FI"—his passive income streams covered living expenses without touching his investment portfolio. The Psychology of Financial Independence 00:18:00 Brad and Cody explore why some people achieve FI while others with similar incomes stay stuck. The answer isn't math—it's psychology and awareness. Cody attributes his success to having a clear destination. When you know exactly where you're going and why it matters, spending $100 on something that doesn't serve that destination becomes harder than saying no. The infamous "second marshmallow" experiment demonstrates this: delaying gratification becomes easier when you're aware of what you're trading for. As Cody puts it: "Earn more, spend less, invest the gap. Very simple. That is financial independence in a nutshell." Passive Income Reality Check 00:28:00 Let's demolish the myth of truly passive income. Cody manages 13 rental properties—but spends just 4-5 hours per month on them. This represents the spectrum of passive income: not zero effort, but minimal effort relative to the returns. The secret? Working in seasons rather than constant hustle mode. Some months require more attention (tenant turnover, maintenance issues), while others are nearly hands-off. Cody's businesses also follow this pattern—periods of intense development followed by relative autopilot. Brad reinforces this with math: "Every $100 a month you can cut out of your budget is $30,000 less you need in your FI number." Over 20 years, that $100/month compounds to $60K invested. That's a $90K swing from a single optimization. Designing the Perfect Tuesday 00:42:00 Forget exotic vacations—FI is about winning on a random Tuesday. Cody and Lauren's ideal weekday reveals what financial independence actually looks like: Morning: Wake naturally, coffee together, workout (him: gym; her: Pilates), shower, work on creative projects they enjoy Midday: Lunch together, afternoon walk in their neighborhood, separate time for individual pursuits Evening: Dinner together, reading, quality time before bed Nothing dramatic. No yachts. Just complete autonomy over every hour of a normal day. They maintain this through monthly alignment meetings—typically at a restaurant over a nice meal—covering: Money and real estate Health and fitness Travel plans Relationships (with a safe space to address concerns) Friends and family A rotating category Goals for the next month They also record an annual video reviewing the year, creating a time capsule of their journey. Post-FI Life and the Book 00:58:00 What actually happens when you achieve FI? Cody shares the uncomfortable truth: "Anything that you say that you want to do and that you don't do is a Cody problem. Before FI, you can blame things on time. You can blame things on money." When those excuses disappear, you're left facing yourself. That can be liberating and terrifying. His new book, Retire by Thirty, addresses this and more. Like Tim Ferriss's The Four Hour Workweek, the title is provocative but the principles are universal. Whether you compress your FI journey from 50-55, 33…

Except the real number was more complicated than that: $2 million up front, $8 million in earn-out, and 18 months of some of the most stressful building of his life to get there. He walked away with just under $3 million post taxes — and says he regrets the sale entirely.Today, Tibo is doing over $1 million a month in revenue across a portfolio of five software products he's built since that exit. His personal spend is negligible. He has no financial advisor, keeps roughly 50% of his net worth in cash, and puts almost everything investable into index funds.This episode gets into the full deal structure, the psychological cost of the earn-out period, what he calls the "frozen state" that hits founders after a big exit, and why he says he will never sell a company again.Timestamps:02:12 — Full guest intro: who Thibault is, the Tweet Hunter story, deal structure breakdown, and episode roadmap08:08 — The $10M deal unpacked: earn-out structure, revenue milestones, and what he actually collected10:17 — The co-founder split, the 25% influencer equity deal, and whether he'd do it again14:09 — How the influencer partnership worked and why they replicated it on Tapio26:17 — "Getting a ton of money up front feels unhealthy" — Thibault on why lump-sum exits are psychologically dangerous28:14 — The "frozen state": why founders can't ship after a big exit30:42 — The earn-out burnout period: stress, loss aversion, and the 18 hardest months of his life34:37 — "It was a bad decision financially" — Thibault's verdict on the sale38:15 — Nomadic life, the Vietnam hacker residency, and how wealth changes how he travels42:42 — No financial advisor, no trust in wealth managers — why everything goes into S&P 50045:29 — Personal spend breakdown: ~$8K/month — rent, food, tech gadgets, and that's basically it48:27 — What happens to the ~$90K/month delta: cash, S&P 500, and acquiring more products49:45 — The portfolio strategy: five products, two unannounced, and the 2026 scaling challenge51:12 — Building a distribution bridge between all his products with an AI agent53:06 — Raising kids with money: unconditional safety as the foundation for risk-taking

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo welcomes back Dan Wentzel with a major announcement: after months of grinding through deals, cold calls, and follow-ups, Dan is officially under contract on a $2.625 million self-storage facility that has 234 units and 28,000 square feet in a growing market with strong demographics.   What makes this milestone so powerful isn't just the deal itself — it's the journey that led to it. Dan cold called this owner four years ago, followed up for over a year, sent somewhere between six and twelve offers, and refused to quit even when the seller went to a broker and the deal almost died twice. This is a masterclass in what persistence actually looks like in the real world of self-storage investing.   The conversation dives deep into how a single phone call to a local bank, uncovering better lending terms than anything previously available, completely changed what Dan could offer and finally got the deal done. It's a reminder that creative problem-solving and consistent action can unlock opportunities that feel out of reach.   Alex and Dan also work through the deal's financials in real time, breaking down back-of-napkin underwriting: starting with $275,000 in current revenue, applying a 35% expense ratio to arrive at a $178,750 NOI, and exploring what a conservative 20% rent increase could do (pushing projected NOI to over $217,000). With rates sitting 30–40% below market and only two competitors in the area (one of which appears to be at capacity), the upside is real. The episode closes with a cliffhanger. The numbers are promising, but the next episode will tackle how to structure the capital stack: debt vs. equity, investor returns, and whether this deal can fully support itself.   This is one of the most honest and instructive episodes in the series, proof that the deal of your life can be the one you almost walked away from. ⸻ You'll Learn How To: Push through analysis paralysis and doubt by staying in motion even when results aren't showing yet  Follow up with sellers over months and years without burning the relationship  Use simple back-of-napkin math to quickly evaluate any self-storage deal  Apply an expense ratio to calculate NOI and interpret cap rates in context • Identify value-add opportunities from below-market rents and unsophisticated operations  Use bank financing creatively to increase your offer and structure a better deal  Recognize what makes a market worth pursuing: population growth, median income, and limited competition  Build a simple, sustainable follow-up system that doesn't require an expensive CRM ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Dan announces he's under contract on a $2.625 million storage facility [1:00] Alex reflects on Dan's journey — from stuck and overwhelmed to under contract [3:16] What the mindset shift actually looked like: keeping your head down and taking the next step [4:08] Was quitting ever a real thought? Dan's honest answer [5:38] Why Alex's mentor told him to "love the journey" — and what that actually means [6:35] The confidence that comes from persisting when others would have quit [7:40] Deal overview: how did Dan even find this opportunity? [8:43] Cold called the owner four years ago — couldn't get through [9:12] A VA finally made contact: seller wanted $3 million — the follow-up began [10:03] How finding better bank financing changed everything and unlocked the deal [10:41] The numbers: 28,000 sq ft, 234 units, plus 24 containers with upside potential [11:32] How many offers did Dan send this seller? "Somewhere between six and twelve" [12:07] Why seller financing was difficult: the seller wanted 40% down [13:03] What made this deal worth the persistence: unsophisticated owner, strong market [13:28] No Google Maps presence, no online rentals, no rate management — maximum upside [14:22] Dan's follow-up system: a Google spreadsheet and phone reminders [15:14] Why the best CRM is the one you actually use [15:55] Market demographics: 3% annual population growth, $90K median household income [16:22] Seller's motivation: retirement [17:06] Purchase price per square foot: $94 — high, but not the full picture [17:31] Current annual revenue: $275,000 at 95% occupancy [18:01] Walking through back-of-napkin math with Dan live on the show [19:47] NOI calculation: $275K × 65% = $178,750 — what that means as a 7 cap [21:07] Why cap rates alone don't tell the full story [22:22] How much can revenue grow? Rates are 30–40% below market [23:48] Analyzing worst case, likely, and best case revenue scenarios [25:11] Only two competitors — one appears to be at full capacity [26:40] How to review the P&L month by month to project ramp-up revenue [27:17] Conservative scenario: 20% rate increase = $60K in additional top-line revenue [27:41] New projected NOI: $217,750 — now buying at an 8 cap [28:29] What comes next: layering debt and equity onto the deal [30:29] The cliffhanger: tune in to the next episode for full capital stack breakdown ⸻ Who This Episode Is For: Investors who have been grinding without results and are questioning whether to keep going  Anyone trying to source their first off-market self-storage deal through cold calling  Listeners who want to understand how to underwrite a deal from scratch  Entrepreneurs learning how to structure persistent, respectful follow-up with sellers  Investors exploring how bank financing can improve deal terms  Anyone building a value-add self-storage investment thesis  People who need a reminder that the breakthrough is usually just on the other side of the next rep ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Most people give up long before the deal gets done.   Dan Wentzel cold called this seller four years ago, got nowhere, followed up for over a year, sent over half a dozen offers, watched it almost go to other buyers twice — and then found one bank with better terms that changed everything.   This episode is a real-time case study in what persistence, creative financing, and consistent action actually look like in the self-storage business. If you've been putting in the work and not yet seeing the results, this conversation will remind you why you can't afford to stop now. ⸻ Follow Alex Pardo here: Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/ ⸻ Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

Dylan Gillies started wholesaling with zero capital, no buyers list, and a $6,000 course that produced nothing. Then he forgot he was even sending mail through DealMachine and got a call that changed everything. Now, three deals in, he is staring down a six-unit manufactured home development with $800K in projected net profit for the group, and he had to pass on a $90K assignment fee to get there. In this episode, Dylan, David, and Ryan also dig into why Ryan scaled back from 11 employees to 3, how inbound direct mail creates more leverage than cold outreach, and what most wholesalers get wrong about hiring and partnerships.   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:30 - Dylan Gillies' Business & First Deals 4:52 - Building A Buyers List & Other Deals 6:19 - Manufactured Homes 10:21 - The Marketing He's Doing & Being An Agent 13:18 - Mistakes He's Learned From 14:46 - Sending Direct Mail & Ryan's Structure 25:42 - Mistakes When Building A Business 31:14 - Stepping Back As An Owner 34:31 - More On Direct Mail 39:37 - Outro   LINKS: Facebook: Dylan Gillies https://www.facebook.com/dylan.gillies.9   Website: North Coast REI LLC https://www.northcoastrei.com/   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

This guy didn't have money, experience, or connections, yet he bought a $700K business and walked away with $90K in cash at closing. How did he do it?In this episode, Russ and Joey sit down with Jason Wright to unpack one of the most unconventional deals you'll hear. Jason shares how he used a combination of seller financing, bank financing, and creative structuring to make the deal possible despite having no capital, no industry experience, and no clear path forward at the start.What made the difference wasn't just the numbers–it was understanding the seller's true motivations and building trust over time. Jason describes the three critical elements that made this deal work, and explains why rushing deals is a mistake.If you've ever thought “you need money to make money,” this conversation will challenge that belief and also show how buying an existing business can be more strategic than starting from scratch.Top three things you will learn:-The 3 key elements that make no-money-down deals possible-How to structure deals using seller + bank financing-Why trust and timing matter more than capital in business acquisitionsAbout Our Guest:Jason Wright is a serial entrepreneur, self-improvement enthusiast, and small business acquisition expert.

In this episode, we explore the identity pattern many women business owners carry while building successful businesses: the quiet but persistent belief that they are bad with money. Even when revenue is growing, clients are signing, and the business looks successful from the outside, this internal identity can still shape what feels safe to receive, hold and expand into.This episode unpacks the disconnect between external success and internal money identity, and how that tension can silently limit your income ceiling. We look at the subtle ways money beliefs show up in high-functioning women business owners, from underestimating financial capability to holding shame around past debt, and why these patterns do not disappear just because your business is doing well.If you have ever felt successful on paper but still emotionally entangled in scarcity, this conversation will help you feel seen.

This episode is a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood investment vehicles in Canada — the RRSP. Whether you've been told to avoid them or told they're the holy grail of retirement savings, the truth is nuanced, and it all comes down to your income, your stage of life, and your strategy. Key Topics: What an RRSP actually is — and how it differs from a tax elimination tool (spoiler: it's not one) Who benefits most from contributing to an RRSP (hint: if you're earning $90K+, pay attention) The biggest mistake people make when withdrawing — the lump sum trap How to build wealth inside your RRSP beyond just "parking it in cash" Spousal RRSP contributions and how couples can use income-splitting to their advantage Why your tax refund is your secret weapon — and what we did with ours (Barbados, twice — no regrets) The TFSA, RESP, and the newer FHSA: how to think about all three buckets together What happens at age 71 when your RRSP must convert to a RRIF — and why you want to plan for this before it happens The RRSP meltdown strategy: how to draw down intentionally so you're not hit with a massive, avoidable tax bill Why you need to talk to your advisor more than once a year — and what life changes should trigger that call immediately Let's dive in!

This is the most boring way to get rich with rentals. It's not flashy, it's not sexy, but it works—and it doesn't even take that long to pull off. You don't need to have hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up, investing experience, or dozens of rental properties. In fact, you can build over a million dollars in wealth with just four to five properties: no big apartment complexes, no complicated strategies, no sketchy financing. That's what we're all after, right? Boring ways to build wealth. We want consistent five and six-figure cash flow hitting our bank accounts every year with millions in equity. But if it's so boring and easily accessible, why isn't everyone doing it? Well, that's where many Americans are wrong—thousands of real estate investors are using this same strategy to slowly and steadily build wealth without the stress of scaling a huge real estate portfolio. Dave has done it, dozens of top investors we've interviewed on the show have done it, and now you can, too—even if you're starting from square one. This is the boring way to build wealth with real estate.  In This Episode We Cover The most boring real estate investing strategy to become a millionaire  How to get into your first investment property with significantly less than you think The best beginner rental properties to buy with value-add potential (increase equity!) Full math of how just a handful of rentals can become over a million dollars in equity (and $90K+/year cash flow!) How to use your home equity to invest so you can recycle your money  The simple, beginner-friendly value-add renovations that can boost home value by $10K+ And So Much More!

#834 If you're only making money from one source, you're leaving a fortune on the table! In part one of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin sits down with Bart Merrell — the Side Hustle Samurai — to explore how everyday experiences can be turned into income streams. Bart shares his unconventional journey from aspiring FBI agent to entrepreneur, covering ventures that span bungee towers in Japan, vehicle importing, dog training, and even monetizing his own leg amputation. He introduces his signature framework of three simple lists — what you like to do, what you need to do, and what you're already doing — as a starting point for identifying your ideal side hustle. Bart also digs into the mindset shifts required to move from scarcity thinking to seeing abundance everywhere, and explains why there has never been a better time in history to start a business! What we discuss with Bart: + Bart's unexpected path to entrepreneurship + "Can I monetize it?" — his guiding question + Bungee towers and vehicle importing in Japan + Turning dog adoption into a $90K side hustle + Getting paid as an amputee consultant + The three-list framework for finding your hustle + Scarcity mindset vs. abundance mindset + Why you don't need a traditional job to build wealth + The importance of mentorship and hand-holding + Why now is the best time to start a side hustle Thank you, Bart!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1292: Today we unpack Honda's massive $15.7B EV write-down and pivot back to hybrids, Rivian's make-or-break R2 SUV aimed at the mainstream market, and Ford CEO Jim Farley's vow to keep the manual Mustang aliveShow Notes with links:Honda is taking a massive $15.7 billion writedown as it cancels several EV programs and pivots back toward hybrids, underscoring just how quickly the EV demand outlook has shifted.Honda will cancel three planned U.S. EVs — the Honda 0 Saloon, 0 SUV, and Acura RSX — just months before production, as well as reviewing the future direction of the Sony Honda Mobility joint venture. The automaker's Honda Prologue, built by GM in Mexico, could also disappear after its current production run ends in December, with no plans for a Gen 2 vehicle.The Prologue launched in 2024 and sold nearly 39,000 units in 2025. But after the tax credit was eliminated, sales plunged 74% in 2026.Rivian is attempting one of the toughest transitions in the auto industry — moving from a niche EV startup selling $90K adventure trucks to a true mass-market brand.CEO RJ Scaringe calls the upcoming R2 SUV a “make-or-break” product for Rivian as the company tries to scale beyond wealthy early adopters.The R2 launches this spring with a $57,990 version offering up to 330 miles of range, followed by a $45,000 model next year aimed squarely at mainstream buyers.As Rivian's chief software officer put it: “We know there are just two companies in the U.S. who know how to do it: Tesla and us.”While manual transmissions continue disappearing across the industry, Ford CEO Jim Farley says the Mustang will keep its third pedal for as long as the company has a choice.Speaking at the Australian Grand Prix, Farley doubled down on Ford's stance (although it wasn't the most natural phrasing): “Out of our cold, dead hands will we not have a manual Mustang.”Farley framed the decision as part of Ford's identity, saying the brand aims to serve “working people and enthusiast drivers” and keep building cars that aren't boring.Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

Send a textJeremy Haynes breaks down 5 real struggling business owners and delivers a custom roadmap to scale each one to $1 million a month.

You'll learn how to reinvest profits using the cost of growth framework, why mindset and echo chambers silently cap your revenue ceiling, how to think in probability like a doctor when testing new strategies, and when an offer pivot actually makes sense versus shiny object syndrome.

C8 Health is solving a problem that costs hospitals billions: the implementation gap between medical knowledge and actual clinical practice. Despite hospitals investing heavily in clinical trials, licensing platforms like UpToDate and OpenEvidence, and creating comprehensive policies and guidelines, this knowledge remains siloed across 20+ disconnected systems per department. Operating across over 100 hospital systems including most top-40 US healthcare networks, C8 Health has become the standard platform for academic anesthesiology departments by making best-practice knowledge instantly accessible at the point of care. In a recent episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Galia Rosen Schwarz, Co-Founder and CEO of C8 Health, to learn how the company evolved from a Geneva University Hospitals research project during COVID to building a land-and-expand motion that penetrates notoriously difficult enterprise healthcare logos through focused department-level entry.Topics DiscussedWhy hospitals struggle to operationalize best practices despite massive knowledge investmentsThe department-first penetration strategy that unlocked top-40 healthcare system logosHow high product engagement converted two non-paying pilots into 20+ qualified pipeline opportunities at a single conferenceMisalignment between founder value assumptions and actual buyer languageWhy 2-4 monthly micro-conferences outperform major industry events for qualified pipeline generationMeasuring everything: tracking conversion from leads through MQLs, SQLs, opportunities to closed dealsGTM Lessons For B2B FoundersUse department-level entry to crack enterprise healthcare logos: With only $90K in friends-and-family funding, C8 Health chose department deals over enterprise-wide deployments. This wasn't just about deal size—it was strategic penetration of logos that typically require 18-24 month sales cycles. Single departments provided faster procurement, immediate user feedback for product iteration, and internal advocates who later championed enterprise expansion. The land-and-expand data became their enterprise selling asset: C8-level executives see real usage metrics, clinician testimonials, and measured outcomes (reduced surgical site infections, shortened length of stay) from their own system before enterprise conversations begin. B2B founders facing long enterprise cycles should map department-level entry points that demonstrate ROI quickly while preserving expansion paths.Extract buyer language systematically—they sell differently than you think: C8 Health positioned around clinician benefits: easy knowledge access, time savings, and empowerment. Their champions sold it completely differently to peers: "administrative burden reduction" and "peace of mind that staff consistently follow our chosen best practices across every indication." This wasn't end-user value—it was management value that department heads actually budget for. Galia's insight: you must measure and message separately for buyers versus end users. B2B founders should implement structured win/loss interviews and case study processes specifically to capture verbatim buyer language, then test whether your current messaging actually resonates with how champions sell you internally.//Sponsors:Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.ioThe Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co//Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I HireSenior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

When sales feel random, inconsistent, or out of your control, it's not because you need a new strategy. It's because you need new standards. In this episode, I'm showing you how to stop using revenue goals as a measuring stick for your worth and start using weekly standards as your CEO leadership system, so consistent sales become something you create on purpose.Whether you sell physical products on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, at in-person markets, through wholesale to retailers, or on your own ecommerce website, I'm breaking down the 3 standards that drive predictable sales: promotion, follow-up, and offers. I'll share the mindset and action shift that helped me grow from a $90K side hustle to a million-dollar business, and I'll tell you how to join my free Best Seller Secrets Challenge (linked in the show notes) so you can get clear on what to sell, how to promote it, and map out a simple 30-day promotional plan to help you sell more products.In This Episode, You'll Learn:00:00 Why revenue goals without weekly action steps are just wishes.05:00 How I went from a $90K side hustle to a million-dollar product business.08:00 What consistent sales actually require (and why goals don't create consistency).15:15 What a promotion standard is (email marketing, product launches, and weekly offers).19:45 Follow-up systems that uncover “hidden money” (abandoned carts, welcome sequences, post-purchase).24:00 How to market ONE product for 14 days (focus, bestsellers, and a clear offer).28:30 Standards for in-person market sellers (email list growth + 24-hour follow-up).30:00 How standards helped build a $10M women-owned business.33:00 How your business mirrors your patterns (fear of being seen, inconsistency, perfectionism).36:15 Details for the Best Seller Secrets Challenge (free training + promotional calendar).Resources + LinksJoin the 5-day challenge to identify your best sellers and create a 30-day promo plan HEREReady to stop guessing and follow a proven system?

RUNDOWN   Time for a post-Thanksgiving catch-up — from Hotshot's massive Bonnie Lake feast (and industrial-sized leftovers) to Mitch explaining why he avoids other people's stuffing, small talk, and social gatherings altogether. The guys 'roll' into a playful celebration of area code 360, spotlighting surprising celebrity ties: Sam Elliott's Clark College days, Hilary Swank's Bellingham childhood, The Rock's Vancouver roots, and of course Kurt Cobain — whose Aberdeen home, schools, and legacy still anchor the region. Mitch and Hotshot mourn Washington's deflating rivalry loss to Oregon, wondering what's happened to Damon Williams over the last few weeks and whether Jed Fisch's 8–4 season is real progress or just a tiny baby step. They pivot to the Seahawks' 26–0 shutout of a completely overmatched Vikings team led by one-and-done starter Max Broer, raising fresh concerns about Sam Darnold, a sputtering passing game, and what—if anything—you can actually learn from a win like that. Mitch then slips into full "Mr. Playoffs" mode, mapping out the Rams–Seahawks tiebreaker hell. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's emphatic 26–0 shutout of Minnesota — the team's first since 2015 — powered by five takeaways, four sacks, and total defensive domination of an undrafted rookie QB. While the win keeps Seattle tied atop the NFC West, all three acknowledge the troubling offensive trend. The crew debates whether this defense — with Ernest Jones ascending, DeMarcus Lawrence wrecking pockets, Reek Woolen surging, and reinforcements like Julian Love near return — is good enough to carry a sputtering offense deep into January. Rick joins Mitch to dissect Washington's season-ending loss to Oregon — highlighting Damon Williams' late-year regression, disorganized reads, and off-timed footwork, while crediting Dante Moore for outplaying him in a game UW needed. They walk through the wild coaching carousel (Lane Kiffin to LSU? Will Ole Miss even let him coach the playoff?) and unravel the tangled playoff math: whether the Ohio State–Indiana loser still deserves a bye, how an Alabama loss would knock them out, and why Texas Tech's "purchased darlings" have a real shot to win it all.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Thanksgiving Leftovers, the 360 Area Code Deep Dive, and a Tour Through Kurt Cobain's Aberdeen Roots 10:57 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:22 | Ducks Roll the Dawgs, Damon Williams Stalls, and the Seahawks Cruise While Playoff Math Gets Messy 35:39 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Blank Vikings 26–0, Rise to 9–3, and Spark Big Questions About Darnold, Pressure, and JSN Dependency 1:01:46 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel Breaks Down Oregon–UW, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and the High-Stakes Math of the New 12-Team Playoff 1:32:26 | Other Stuff Segment: three-six-oh shoutout to Ben Gibbard and Death Cab for Cutie in Bremerton, Huskies bowl projections (LA Bowl vs Boise State/UNLV, Sun Bowl vs SMU, or Holiday Bowl vs Pitt in San Diego), Lane Kiffin bolts Ole Miss for LSU and gets cussed out at the airport while Ole Miss fans also blame Pete Carroll and even God for "telling him to go," Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia's brother Javier arrested again for public intoxication at Neyland Stadium, Jim Mora Jr leaves UConn for Colorado State and we revisit his infamous Hugh Millen "I'd leave in a second for UW" comment and his brutal Olindo Mare kicker rant, Carmel-by-the-Sea banning pickleball at public courts over nonstop paddle pop noise, Lions' Thanksgiving halftime show with Jack White bringing out Eminem for a Detroit super-collab, ozempic "perk" for men where losing weight makes everything look bigger downstairs, Paul Anka's new doc and his stories about Frank Sinatra's and Milton Berle's legendary endowments, Italy's "Mrs. Doubtfire" scam where a son dressed as his dead mom for years to steal her pension, Richard Simmons' Hollywood Hills house getting a big price cut on the market, RIPs: Fuzzy Zoeller – Masters and U.S. Open champion – dead at 74, HEADLINEs: France's far-right leader gets egged and floured like a human baguette, Brain scan reportedly shows Kim Kardashian has "low activity" upstairs, Trump supposedly slaps a "No fat chicks" sign outside the Oval Office, Thieves steal $90K worth of gourmet snails and instantly become the true escar-goats
