In this episode, Chad Ackerman breaks down how he went from a 25+ year W2 career to building financial freedom through passive real estate investing.

For the 231st episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes author Ruthie Ackerman, whose new book The Mother Code traces her journey from proudly child-free to embracing motherhood later in life. In this interview, Ackerman opens up about questioning whether to have a baby, unpacking the generational and societal narratives that shaped her resistance to motherhood, and how she ultimately rewrote her story. We also dig into the cultural myths that make motherhood look unappealing, the marvel of science and genetics, Ruthie's fertility journey that culminated in the decision to use a donor egg, her fears about the situations that turned out not to come true, and the benefits of being an older mom. This conversation is a powerful reminder that there's no single “mother code”—each of us should write our own.

The Entrepreneur's Odyssey by Andrew Ackerman Andrewbackerman.com https://www.amazon.com/Entrepreneurs-Odyssey-Andrew-Ackerman/dp/1032883545 The Entrepreneur's Odyssey is an authentic window into what it really takes to turn an idea into a viable startup. It is both an essential how-to guide for would-be startup founders as well as an entertaining novel for the startup curious. This textbook-as-novel has fictional first-time entrepreneur Marcus Williams recount his journey from would-be founder with a half-formed idea to a funded startup. His mentor, Jason Murath, a seasoned angel investor, guides Marcus step by step through customer discovery, validating and refining the product, market sizing, and more, all the way through closing his first round of financing. There has never been a more fun – and effective! – way to learn how to build a startup.About the author Serial entrepreneur turned early stage investor, innovation expert, professor and, oh yeah, author. Invested in 70+ startups and mentored hundreds more. Tl;dr It's hard Built my first startup into the top provider of web services to summer camps. Lots of mistakes. Luckily, none killed the company. Managed a family office. Incubated new ventures while managing hedge & private equity funds. Meh. Recruited to found an app for parents to organize digital memories. Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. Awesome experience. Why start one business when you can launch dozens? Joined an accelerator and ended up creating a new, later stage, platform for them. These days I run REACH Labs for Second Century Ventures, consult for corporate venture funds, accelerators, etc. Teach entrepreneurship in my (ha!) spare time to test my book with real students. Spoiler: It works really well. Over 60 published articles but this is my first novel. Hope you enjoy it!

What if you could build cash flow without being a landlord or leaving your job? In this episode, Chad Ackerman shares how he began building wealth through passive real estate investing — all while working a W-2 job he genuinely enjoyed. Chad talks about why landlording wasn't the right fit, how he discovered passive investing, and the steps he took to start generating cash flow without adding more to his schedule. You'll hear his top tips for busy professionals looking to invest passively, the red flags to watch out for when evaluating deals or sponsors, and why this strategy is especially powerful for those working full-time.
