Breaking Free of Your Boxes   Unlocking Freedom Through Wealth: How Betsy Pepine Built a Real Estate Empire Rooted in Debt-Free Living What if the secret to wealth wasn't just making more—but making smart, intentional choices with what you already have? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Betsy Pepine shares the remarkable story of how she went from a frugal childhood in New Jersey to becoming a best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and leader of one of the top real estate brokerages in the U.S. Her philosophy? Live below your means, stay out of debt, and use money as a tool for freedom—not flash. Keep reading to discover how Betsy's old-school money values led to next-level success.   Key Takeaways: Freedom Is the Ultimate Currency. Betsy doesn't chase money for status—it's all about freedom of choice. Whether it's the freedom to give generously, pivot professionally, or sleep soundly at night, financial independence gives her control over her destiny. Debt-Free Living Is a Superpower. Raised by parents who shunned debt (aside from a mortgage), Betsy never bought anything she couldn't pay for in cash. This mindset helped her grow her wealth without compromising her peace of mind—even when financial experts told her to leverage more. Entrepreneurship Isn't About Money—It's About Impact. From her first childhood hustle to building Pepine Realty, Betsy always had an entrepreneurial drive. But her motivation wasn't the money—it was about creating options and helping others, especially families in housing crisis through her nonprofit, Pepine Gives. Lead with Intention, Not Ego. Despite her high-profile endorsements from Barbara Corcoran, Dave Ramsey, and Glenn Beck, Betsy remains grounded. Her approach to leadership, family, and business is rooted in humility, service, and vision.   Money Learnings: Betsy learned about money by observing her parents, who lived frugally and prioritized saving over spending. They avoided debt at all costs—except for a mortgage, which they paid off quickly. Though she thought they were poor, it was a deliberate choice to live below their means and fund their children's education debt-free. This instilled in her a deep respect for financial discipline, a preference for peace of mind over leverage, and the belief that money is best used as a tool for freedom.   About Betsy Pepine: Betsy Pepine is a real estate powerhouse, educator, and philanthropist. As the founder and broker-owner of Pepine Realty, she has led her team to national recognition, including repeated listings on the Inc. 5000, Top 50 Florida Companies to Watch, and Florida Trend's Best Companies to Work For. Beyond her brokerage, Betsy runs a real estate school, a title company, and a property management firm. She's a Wharton MBA, a Duke economics grad, and founder of Pepine Gives, a nonprofit helping at-risk families with housing.   Key Discussion Points: How childhood perceptions of money shape adult financial behavior. Why Betsy never cared about keeping up with the Joneses—even when she could. The misunderstood relationship between wealth and worth. How to build businesses aligned with your values, not just profits. Why mentorship from legends like Barbara Corcoran matters (and how she earned it). Practical tools for keeping your team aligned and inspired.   Conclusion: In a world obsessed with appearances and fast money, Betsy Pepine is a breath of fresh air—proof that timeless principles still win. Her journey shows us that when you align your values with your financial decisions, wealth becomes not just a number—but a life of purpose, peace, and power.   Links: https://betsypepine.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/betsypepine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betsypepine/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/betsypepine   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Shoot us a Text.We're under 2 months away from the auto industry accelerator, ASOTU CON! You can get your tickets now at asotucon.com.Today we're talking about how tech giant Foxconn is getting ready to reveal new EV partnerships and speculate on who those could be. Plus, we cover affordability easing and In N Out's servant leadership mentality.Around 80 tornados were reported as a result of this past weekend's powerful storm system, leaving a trail of destruction across the Central and Eastern US. As the communities affected begin to rebuild, we know dealers will do what they do best—step up, lend a hand, and take care of their neighbors. At ASOTU, we're here to amplify their efforts, share their stories, and support in any way we can.Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn, better known as Apple's iPhone manufacturer, is reportedly closing in on EV partnerships with two Japanese companies. This news follows speculation about a possible alliance with Nissan or Honda, especially after their failed merger talks.Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. (Foxconn's official name) is expected to finalize the deals within two months, according to Chairman Young Liu.Liu did not confirm the companies but emphasized contract design and manufacturing services as part of the agreements.The March 11 appointment of Ivan Espinosa as Nissan's CEO could pave the way for new negotiations.Foxconn is making global EV plays, having already signed deals with ZF Group (axle systems), Stellantis (semiconductors), and Infineon (silicon carbide chips), and aiming to start North American production of its Model C crossover in late 2025 to counter rising U.S. tariffs.Liu: “We are not looking to acquire Nissan but are interested in working with them.”New-vehicle affordability improved in February, reaching its best level in over three years, according to the Cox Automotive/Moody's Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index.The average price of new vehicles fell by 1.3% for the month, improving affordability despite higher interest rates.Auto loan rates rose slightly to 10.16%, the highest in four months, but income growth (+3.5% YoY) helped offset this.Typical monthly car payments declined to $748, down 1.1% month-over-month and 1.3% YoY.It now takes 37.2 weeks of median income to buy a new vehicle, an improvement from 39.0 weeks a year ago.On the heels of being named the 8th Best Company to Work For, In-N-Out Burger CEO Lynsi Snyder credits her “servant leadership” approach as the driving force behind the company's success. The heiress views her employees as family and follows a leadership philosophy that prioritizes the employees over executive demands, or as we would say around here: “Love People More Than You Love Hamburgers”Servant leadership focuses on employee growth and well-being, a value Snyder says she inherited from her family.Her grandfather built the foundation with hard work and passion, while her father emphasized humility and quality.HeHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

I am honored to be on Radio Promotor Angela Backstrom's contact list for new music being released by the amazing cadre of Americana/Roots Artists she represents.  Angela reached out to me to arrange a phone interview to highlight Kiely Connell's appearance at Kansas City's  recordBar venue in support of her amazing sophomore record “My Own Company.”  I went down the rabbit hole, as I so often do in preparation for this conversation.   I was entranced by Kiely's voice, her affinity for some of my personal favorites like Courtney Marie Andres and Patsy Cline, and her totally relatable lyricism.    Kiely Connell is a Nashville-based, rustbelt-born Country singer who has widened her musical horizons by recording My Own Company in Portland, Oregon with producer Tucker Martine (Roseanne Cash, Courtney Barnett, Madison Cunningham).   It is a gritty and generous display of heartbreakingly honest lyricism, powerhouse vocals, and a deep-dive into recovering after heartbreak, staring down the barrel of depression, and coming out the other side…to choose oneself. Instrumental backing provided from bassist Nate Query (the Decembrists), drummer Andrew Borger (Tom Waits, Norah Jones) and long term musical companion and guitarist Drew Kohl.   In Connell's own words, “It's about a love that you work so hard on that doesn't work out in the end, so you ultimately end up working on yourself. You learn that the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.” Enjoy this conversation with Nashville's Kiely Connell. 

Everyone is awaiting the 2024 presidential election results—especially homebuyers. As mortgage rates rise again, potential homebuyers are sitting on the sidelines, hoping that the next president could make it a little easier to purchase a house. Is this housing market slowdown just a temporary phenomenon before the biggest political event of the past four years, or could this last well into the winter? We're covering it on this headlines show! Could a “Trump trade” push bond yields up and mortgage rates as well? Some economists are betting that a Trump presidency would mean higher mortgage rates. We'll also talk about California's Prop 33, which, if passed, could allow more stringent rent control on landlords in the Golden State. With rising costs for property owners, could this lead to landlords selling their rentals to escape California's tenant-friendly laws? If you want to escape the election cycle, we've got you covered. Our last story touches on the best companies for career growth, and if you're trying to up your skills (and your income) next year, applying for a job at any of these companies could help you! In This Episode We Cover The pre-election housing “slowdown” and why many homebuyers are pausing on purchasing A new mortgage rate update and what's causing rates to rise back to seven percent The “Trump trade” and why economists are worried it could push bond yields up California's newest rent control proposition and what it means for landlords in the state The top companies for career growth in the United States (grow your income!)

Landon Taylor created two successful digital marketing services businesses before starting a product-powered business with recurring revenues. His first agency drove traffic to its customers, which led to his second business, Best Company, which produced qualified leads for large home services businesses through its bestcompany.com consumer review site.  Their work in consumer reviews led them to his latest business, Snoball, a word-of-mouth marketing platform they use to predictably and efficiently drive customer referrals. With their systematic approach and some human-in-the-loop help, Snoball creates a scalable customer acquisition channel for large home services businesses in the US.  Landon speaks openly about his approach to “parlay” one business into another to create new businesses that are larger and more valuable than the last. Rather than raising big VC funding, Landon invests his own resources to find and create new businesses.  Quote from Landon Taylor, CEO of Snoball “Fear can be debilitating for an entrepreneur. If you fear failure, if you take a leap and you're gonna fail, you'll be paralyzed. You won't be able to move forward, see opportunities, and take risks that will open up doors. “You've gotta get to the mindset that failure is not fatal. Everybody who's been successful has failed multiple times, right? So just take the leap. It can be a small leap. Or it could be a mental leap of believing that I can build, I can create, I've got something unique. “It might be as simple as wanting to do a LinkedIn post, but you hit this wall of ‘I can't.' So get beyond that to believe I can, I've got something unique, I can build, I can create.” Links Landon Taylor on LinkedIn Snoball on LinkedIn Snoball website BestCompany.com website Sponsor This week's podcast is sponsored by my friends at Cypress Growth Capital. For 15 years, Cypress has provided non-dilutive growth funding to bootstrapped SaaS founders, including many successful founders I've interviewed here on this podcast.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Eduardo Paiz discuss:When most lawyers feel discontent with their jobs. How business development is different between the US and Latin America. Cultural differences in business communication. How the Young Partners Accelerator is helping lawyers in transition and changing their mentality.  Key Takeaways:Most lawyers feel discontent when they don't feel in control of their careers. Business culture is the biggest difference when doing business development in other parts of the world. In the US, relationships tend to take a backseat to direct business matters. In Latin America, the relationships are driving more of the work. In Latin America, you are unlikely to receive a direct “no” in business. It also usually takes a couple of meetings before you speak directly about business after the relationships are established.Becoming a partnership will, and should, change your job dynamics.  "The dynamics are the same. If you have clients, you have the ability to bring in clients, you are going to be better compensated. You are going to have more power at the table. The dynamics of the legal market are the same." —  Eduardo Paiz Read more from Steve at Above the Law: AboveTheLaw.com/tag/Steve-Fretzin/ Thank you to our Sponsors!Ready to go from good to GOAT?
