Tom and I talk about the moment I turned down a multimillion dollar cash-out offer and instead decided to raise twenty million dollars and buy control of Somewhere.com. I walk through how that deal came together, how I borrowed nine million from the founder, structured the investor tranches, and rebuilt the leadership team while still running Bolt Storage and RE Cost Seg. We get into why I believed the company could become a publicly traded business and how my media brand helped me raise over forty million for storage, somewhere and other deals. I also explain how I split my time across multiple companies, why I spend 350k a year on my personal media team, and how building a brand on X completely accelerated my career. This episode is about unreasonable ambition, calculated risk and making moves even when nobody gives you permission.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, we're joined by Rose Yao, VP of Product Management at Google Search. ---

I didn't want to babysit agents or take on six-figure liability just to make LESS money. So I skipped starting a team, passed on opening a brokerage, and went all-in on eXp Realty revenue share. Here's why this model actually scales without the overhead, drama, or burnout.If you're a producing real estate agent weighing your next move—start a team, open a brokerage, become a managing broker, or explore eXp revenue share—this breakdown is for you. I'll walk through the real numbers behind each model, why the team path becomes a trap for most agents, and how eXp Realty's revenue share compensation plan creates compounding income without payroll, office overhead, or constant recruiting pressure. This is for agents doing 5-10+ deals who want leverage without losing their life.

Tyler Harper thought he was signing up for a “big box brokerage” job after ASU. Instead, freight turned into a decade-long obsession, a crash course in carrier sales, and eventually the push that forced him and his co-founders to start Pinnacle Logistics Group, debt-free, on short notice, and with a single book of business.In this episode, Tyler breaks down the origin story behind Pinnacle, including the moment that changed everything, why the team intentionally leans into “ugly freight” like Mexico, drayage, consolidation, and multi-stop truckload, and how they've built a company that's basically the opposite of the standard brokerage model: roughly 30 people on the team and only 2 sales reps.The conversation really gets interesting when Tyler explains why LTL is still one of the most underserved modes in freight, how rebuilds, reweighs, and reclasses quietly eat shipper budgets, and how Pinnacle built LTL Flow, a free pre-shipment tool designed to remove human error before the load ever gets booked. Think photos, measurements, documentation, and a dimensioning workflow that cuts down disputes and surprises.We also talk leadership, how Tyler's role has shifted from “I'll do everything myself” to building a culture where speed is king, response time is tracked like a KPI, and offshore teams are treated like a true extension of the company, not a separate branch.

In our final episode of 2025, Christian Nolting, the Private Bank's Global Chief Investment Officer, sounds an optimistic note for markets in the New Year. “We've now seen three very good years” in markets, Christian says. “I think in ‘26, there might be some more volatility coming up. But overall, I would say the macroeconomic backdrop is a positive one.”The Federal Reserve just delivered a rate cut, and the market is expecting more in 2026, Christian says. But in the week ahead, markets will be alert to the delayed US jobs data. The official numbers “will be very important for the US because there was some weakness in the labour market.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

This is the full conversation I had with Will Smith and Niklas James on the Acquiring Minds podcast in April of 2025. We broke down how I bought Somewhere.com, how I run my real estate private equity firm, and how I leverage offshore talent to scale revenue while saving costs. We discussed how I think about building teams, why sales is the foundation of all businesses, and why buying a company isn't a shortcut, it's a challenge most people aren't ready for.If you're thinking about buying a business, this episode will show you the side of acquisitions people rarely talk about.

In this episode of the Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe and Eric take a close look at the Matrix and Mirage, exploring how each model came to life and the features that set them apart. They explain the role of pressurization in pilot comfort, performance, and safety, and share real-world perspectives on when each aircraft type makes the most sense. Along the way, they cover maintenance expectations, cost considerations, and what owners can anticipate in day-to-day operations. The discussion wraps up with thoughtful guidance for pilots and buyers navigating the PA-46 market. Whether you're evaluating these models or enjoy learning about the evolution of the PA-46 line, this episode offers a clear and practical look at both aircraft. Did you hear the news?

In this inspiring and deeply human episode of Rethink Real Estate, Ben Brady sits down with Long Doan — Vietnamese refugee turned powerhouse Broker/CEO and Founder of Realty Group — to unpack one of the most remarkable growth journeys in modern real estate. Long shares the story that shaped his entire life: escaping Vietnam alone at age 13, surviving a refugee camp nicknamed “Hell's Island,” and using that experience to build a 650-agent independent brokerage rooted in service, culture, and leadership.Long breaks down the real foundation behind Realty Group's meteoric rise: building a people-first company where alignment, relationship-building, omnipresent branding, and agent empowerment beat every traditional brokerage model. He details the systems behind their 12-office footprint, 4,000+ annual transactions, and how they've engineered profitability in a shrinking-margin industry. From referrals to education, from culture to community, Long reveals exactly how their model evolved — and why helping others is not just their motto, but their operating system.The conversation then shifts into the big news: Realty Group's strategic expansion into LPT, unlocking nationwide scalability, stock opportunities, and residual revenue for agents. Long explains why the next era of brokerage success belongs to companies that combine culture with modern infrastructure — and how exponential growth becomes possible when you stop competing in old frameworks and start building ecosystems.If you're a brokerage leader, team owner, or agent who wants to understand what the future of the real estate brokerage looks like — and how one man's story fuels a mission bigger than business — this episode will stay with you long after it ends.⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – Introduction & why this episode is a rerun favorite[00:01:30] – Long's refugee journey and the night that shaped his lifelong “why”[00:04:56] – Building a new life at 13: survival, mindset, and responsibility[00:07:55] – How hardship became the foundation of leadership & service[00:12:16] – Growing Realty Group to 650+ agents across 12 offices[00:17:06] – Recruiting through relationships, alignment, and omnipresence[00:20:59] – The REAL reason agents choose (and stay with) a brokerage[00:24:53] – Profitability, fee models & building revenue verticals[00:29:36] – The future of Realty Group and the announcement: joining LPT

Nick Lamagna and I sat down to talk about what really happens when you're in the trenches, when the deals are falling apart, the pressure's on, and you're questioning everything. We got into the difference between chasing shiny objects and building real wealth through boring businesses, why the best opportunities aren't always the loudest, and how who you surround yourself with can either push you forward or keep you stuck. If you're trying to figure out how to play the long game in business and life, this one's worth your time.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz answer your questions!---

Alex Smereczniak, co-founder and CEO of Franzy, shares his entrepreneurial journey and the development of his franchise marketplace platform. Franzy is described as the "Zillow for franchising," using an AI engine to match prospective franchise buyers with suitable brands based on their background, net worth, and goals. Alex's journey began with a profitable college laundry and dry-cleaning service, inspired by his entrepreneurial father's advice to either work for himself or have people work for him. After an unfulfilling stint in consulting at Ernst & Young, he started 2U Laundry, raising $33 million in VC and eventually verticalizing by building physical laundromats. This led to franchising the concept under Laundrelab, where he experienced the franchise ecosystem's inefficiencies firsthand, particularly the high, unregulated commissions (up to 60%) paid to franchise brokers. This lack of transparency and incentive misalignment inspired him to create Franzy. Franzy's three pillars are Educate, Discovery, and Support, aiming to democratize the process with transparency, data, and a flat-fee model (around 40% of the fee) that removes the incentive to push higher-paying brands.10 Key Takeaways Entrepreneurial Inspiration: Alex's father's advice to "work for yourself or have people working for you"heavily influenced his career path. College Business Success: His college laundry business, WakeWash, grew from $25k to $250k in annual revenue after securing a booth at orientation week and leveraging a subscription/gym-membership model with 70% margins due to breakage. Consulting Burnout & Motivation: Alex found corporate consulting at Ernst & Young unfulfilling, realizing he was optimizing for working less rather than doing fulfilling work, reinforcing the need to work for himself. 2U Laundry & Vertical Integration: The "Uber for laundry" concept, 2U Laundry, raised $33 million in VC, eventually requiring vertical integration by building expensive physical laundromats ($1 million each). Laundrelab Franchising: The solution to scaling the expensive laundromat model was franchising the brick-and-mortar business, Laundrelab, and layering the delivery service on top. Franchise Brokerage Pain Point: Experiencing the high (up to 60%), unregulated commissions and lack of disclosure in franchise brokerage was the direct inspiration for Franzy. Franzy's Transparency Model: Franzy addresses broker conflicts of interest by implementing a flat-fee structure(around 40% of the franchise fee), making the fee consistent across all brands, removing the incentive to push the highest-paying brands. Franzy's Three Pillars: The platform focuses on Educate (blogs, podcasts), Discovery (AI-driven matching from 4,000+ brands), and Support (lending, legal, real estate intros). Franchisor Value Proposition: Larger brands like Driven Brands use Franzy because it offers a high ROI—finding good operators for a fraction of their lifetime value (estimated at $500k to $1 million+). Advisory Approach: Franzy's role is to advise and guide prospective buyers, providing data and disclosing risks (like those associated with emerging brands), but ultimately leaving the decision to the individual.

Joshua Smith joins me for a wide open conversation on production at scale, money versus time, and why picking the right mountain matters more than raw hustle. He walks through his early years from 40 deals in year one to 300 a year, the painful lessons on cash flow and margins, and the moment he realized he was running adult daycare without a sellable asset. We get into his decision to shut down other ventures, move to eXp, and rebuild from zero with a simple daily plan and strict tracking. We break down exactly how he recruits. Ten cold texts every day. Four conversations on average to a yes. About seven focused hours per recruit. A no pressure intro script that anyone can run. Weekly leader masterminds and a one to many eXp overview for newer agents. He also shares the five stages agents move through money time residual income legacy and building legacy for others and how to tailor the conversation to where someone really is. You will hear the wins and the scars. Keeping B players too long. Caving on splits. Running a brokerage with all the risk and none of the joy. Then flipping the model to build a brokerage inside a brokerage with leverage stock and recurring income while pouring coaching and systems into the people who say yes. If you want a practical blueprint to grow your business and your organization without fluff this one gives you the scripts the math and the mindset.   Connect with top real estate agents, gain valuable insights, and grow your business—all for free.

#661: When your income drops, debt spikes, and a rental property starts bleeding cash, it can feel like your entire financial foundation is cracking beneath you. Veronica, our first caller, is navigating all of it at once, from a near-foreclosure to a luxury car payment that's strangling her budget. Her question is simple but enormous, how do you rebuild when you're overwhelmed and out of margin? Once we work through her path forward, we shift to a listener on the opposite end of the spectrum. Daniel has maxed his Roth IRA, HSA, 401(k), and 457, and now sits on growing surplus cash. We talk about where extra money belongs when you're aiming for early retirement and wondering whether to invest, save, or crush a low-interest mortgage. And to close, we take on a question dominating every financial feed right now, what if AI stocks really are in a bubble? We break down what it means to short the market, whether put options are actually a “safe” bet, and how to position a portfolio if you're worried about tech valuations. Listener Questions in This Episode Veronica asks (02:06): How do I dig out of debt, repair my credit, and stabilize my rental after nearly going into foreclosure. Daniel asks (28:17): What should I do with my surplus side hustle cash when I already max tax-advantaged accounts and have a 3.5 percent rental mortgage. Scarlet asks (49:20): If AI stocks are in a bubble like the dot-com era, is there any relatively safe way to profit from a crash, such as put options. Key Takeaways Why tackling the right problem first can change the entire trajectory of a debt recovery plan. How downsizing one major expense can unlock breathing room you didn't realize you had. The surprising factor that often matters more than interest rates when choosing between investing and debt payoff. Why flexible money becomes essential when planning for early retirement. What most people misunderstand about betting against a bubble, especially in fast-moving tech sectors. The simple portfolio shift that can help calm bubble anxiety without trying to time the market. Resources and Links GreenPath Financial Wellness – nonprofit credit counseling and debt management support for people overwhelmed by payments and afraid of bad actors in the debt relief world.
