Podcasts about business credit

Your biggest wealth leak is not your spending, your income, or even your investments. It is the way your debt is structured, and nobody ever taught you how to fix it. In this episode, we sit down with Josh Mettle to break down why every entrepreneur, investor, and small business owner needs a liability advisor. Just like you have asset advisors to grow your wealth, you need someone who helps you optimize the debt side of your financial picture so you can scale faster, protect your cash flow, and create long term stability. Josh reveals why today's lending landscape is built for chaos, how interest rate cycles silently shape your net worth, why inflation destroys badly structured loans, and why most people are playing defense when they could be playing offense. We also walk through real examples of how business owners, W2 earners, and real estate investors can use HELOCs, DSCR loans, bridge loans, and non traditional financing to unlock opportunities that traditional lenders overlook. If you are serious about building wealth, this conversation will change the way you think about debt forever. And if you want to understand how much money your current debt structure is costing you, schedule a complimentary dreams and goals call with Josh's team so you can evaluate your borrowing strategy and see where the hidden opportunities are waiting for you.https://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ RESOURCES

Everyone loves “free money” until they realize what it actually costs them. In this episode, we break down the silent wealth divide happening in real time and why the next decade will massively reward owners, investors, and creators while leaving everyone else behind. Headlines about new $2,000 stimulus checks and the introduction of 50-year mortgages make it feel like help is on the way, but moves like these quietly inflate the price of everything. They make housing more expensive, savings less valuable, and the wealth gap wider. We talk about how stimulus and easy credit made people feel richer in the moment but slowly eroded their purchasing power. The result is a growing chasm between people who own assets and people who only have income. We unpack why inflation punishes savers, why relying on a paycheck will never beat the speed of rising prices, and how the people who get ahead are the ones who understand leverage, equity, and asymmetric opportunity. Ownership isn't just a financial strategy. It is a survival strategy. We also dive into the mindset shift required to avoid becoming a casualty of the system and instead position yourself on the right side of it. If you feel like you're working harder but not getting ahead, or like the world is getting more expensive while your dollars buy less each year, this episode gives you the clarity you've been missing. The rules have changed. It is time to learn the game. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Have you ever wondered why some people can walk away from a comfortable career and bet everything on themselves? In this episode, Cory and Ryan sit down with former Rutgers football player and Wall Street trader turned real estate entrepreneur, Peter Tverdov, to unpack how an athlete mindset can completely change the way you approach money, work, and risk. Pete shares how growing up obsessed with football, grinding through division one practices, and then entering a rigid corporate environment showed him he was never wired for a safe nine to five. He walks through the moment he realized he would rather be unemployed than spend another year ignoring his potential, and how he used that same obsessive energy to quietly build a management and construction company that now oversees around one hundred million dollars of real estate in New Jersey. You will hear how property management became his real world classroom, why he believes most people are naturally meant to eat what they kill, and how living far below his means gave him the runway to take real swings. Pete also opens up about bringing his younger brother into the business, building systems so he could step out of day to day headaches, and designing a life where he can take vacations, drop his kids at school, and still play the long game in business. If you are an ex athlete, a high performer stuck in a corporate role, or someone who feels that unexplained pull toward something bigger, this conversation will show you what it actually looks like to bet on yourself and build a life you own. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Have you been telling yourself that you'll focus on your health once you make it? In this episode, Cory sits down with Las Vegas broker, investor, and host of The Mindful Agent, Michael Coxen, to unpack the dangerous lie high performers tell themselves: “I'll focus on my health once I'm successful.” Michael shares how grinding through long hours, stress, and “I'll do everything myself” thinking led to a life-threatening battle with ulcerative colitis that left him at 115 pounds and forced him to rethink everything he believed about work, wealth, and winning.Michael walks through how he rebuilt his life and business from that rock-bottom moment, shifting from work–life “balance” to true work–life harmony. He breaks down the simple mindfulness habits he uses daily including conscious breathing, journaling, Tai Chi, that allow him to run a real estate brokerage, build a portfolio, and stay healthy at the same time. He also opens up about how he and his wife quietly built over $1.5M in equity by living in, improving, and renting out three homes over 15 years, why he still loves Las Vegas real estate, and how he thinks about seasons of hustle versus seasons of rest. If you've ever thought, “Once I hit X income, then I'll take care of myself,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Health is wealth and if you don't protect it on the way up, you may never get to enjoy what you've built. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

In this powerful episode, Ty and Kesha Barnett share their incredible 23-year journey from teenage sweethearts to six-figure entrepreneurs and nationally recognized credit and funding experts. They open up about surviving incarceration, health scares, infertility, and job loss and how those challenges pushed them toward building a legacy through business credit, mentorship, and financial literacy.

Whether you're rebuilding, starting from scratch, or scaling your business, this conversation gives you the mindset, structure, and game-changing blueprint to access capital and rewrite your story.

Are you confused about the difference between a Business line of credit vs term loan and terrified of getting rejected by the bank?

Most people think the path is simple: get the degree, climb the ladder, save what's left. Lame Kinikini did the opposite. He dropped out one year before med school, went all-in on door-to-door sales, then used those skills to build a 9-figure short-term rental portfolio and help high earners legally slash their tax bills. In this episode, Lame breaks down the real journey behind the highlight reel. From growing up in a Polynesian immigrant family and marrying young, to making $200K in sales and realizing he still didn't own his time, to burning the boats after his father-in-law passed away unexpectedly. He talks about how he used Airbnb arbitrage to replace his income fast, scaled into management and operations, then shifted into owning the assets and becoming “the short-term rental tax guy” for high-income professionals. We also dive into the short-term rental tax loophole, why most people misunderstand it, and how smart investors are using it to offset active income while still buying properties that actually cash flow. Lame shares how he structures deals, why bigger and better amenities win in today's Airbnb landscape, and what changes when you see money as a tool to increase your capacity to serve—not a scoreboard. If you're stuck in that “comfortable” $200K income trap, curious about short-term rentals, or wondering how to turn your existing skills into a real portfolio and real freedom, this conversation will give you both the tactics and the perspective shift. Use Code WEALTHJUICE for 20% off your EZ Landlord Forms Orderhttps://www.ezlandlordforms.com/  RESOURCES

Most people want to build wealth but have no idea what “level” they are actually on. Wealth feels confusing when you cannot see the elevator you are riding or the floors ahead of you. In this episode, we break down the wealth elevator in a way anyone can understand. Each floor represents a stage of financial growth, from getting control of your money, to buying your first asset, to stacking rentals, to building real businesses and relationships that compound. We talk through the exact steps that moved us from the ground floor to building a multi-million dollar portfolio, and why each level requires a different identity, different habits, and different decisions. You will learn how to build your personal brand as a digital resume, how attention creates opportunity, and how to turn strangers online into clients, partners, and your future network. If you feel stuck between floors, doing the work but not seeing the jump in results, this conversation gives you clarity on where you are, what is next, and how to move upward with intention instead of guessing your way through the wealth game.Use Code WEALTHJUICE for 20% off your EZ Landlord Forms Orderhttps://www.ezlandlordforms.com/ RESOURCES

Before anyone hires you, partners with you, or invests in you, they look you up. That search either builds trust or kills it. Your personal brand is no longer optional. It is your digital resume, your virtual business card, and your competitive edge. In a world where attention is currency, how you show up online determines the opportunities that show up in your life. In this episode, we break down how sharing your story can open doors you do not even see yet. One post can reach the right person at the right moment. Credibility online leads to real conversations, real partnerships, and real wealth. We also walk you through the exact tools and workflows we use to create and distribute content consistently while running multiple businesses. From recording and editing, to organizing your content pipeline, to converting followers into community and clients, we show you how to build a system that works even when you are offline. This is not about going viral. It is about becoming impossible to ignore to the right people. If you know you are doing meaningful work and want more people to feel it, see it, and believe in it, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most people overthink the first step. They think they need more money, more experience, or the perfect timing. But our entire real estate journey started with one simple decision: we were willing to live differently than everyone around us. We didn't jump into big deals or come from family money. We started small by reducing our living expenses, renting out extra space, and learning how to manage people and problems in real time. That first property didn't change our bank account overnight, but it changed who we were. And that shift in identity is what made everything else possible. In this episode, we walk through how that one uncomfortable step slowly compounded into a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio. We share how one property led to the next, how we transitioned from side-hustle landlords into operators, and how our confidence grew deal by deal. It wasn't luck. It wasn't shortcuts. It was stacking simple plays with patience and discipline.The real hack isn't real estate. The real hack is being willing to live differently for a few years so you can live the rest of your life on your terms. If you feel stuck at the starting line or you know you're meant for more but don't know where to begin, this episode will give you the blueprint. Your first deal won't make you rich. But it will make you dangerous. And that changes everything. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Donald Trump fired him on national television, but he still went on to build Nevada's second-largest real estate brokerage with 585 agents. In this episode, John Gafford shows us how to escape the drift, turn pressure into fuel, and build a business that compounds. We go from his wild story appearing on the hit show, The Apprentice, to the systems he uses today to flip luxury homes, recruit at scale, and own every piece of the real estate transaction so profit doesn't leak. John explains why emotional intelligence beats raw intelligence in sales, how to evaluate risk so bold doesn't become reckless, and the leadership mindset that makes top talent want to run with you. We also unpack his book Escaping the Drift and the tough love framework that pulls you out of autopilot and back into intentional growth. If you feel like you're moving but not advancing, overwhelmed by hustle with no clear plan, or stuck in the same cycle year after year, this conversation hands you the roadmap forward.

This was one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had on camera. We flew down to Florida to sit in Rod Khleif's studio for an in-person interview that turned into a masterclass on wealth, mindset, and freedom. Rod built a $50 million real estate portfolio, lost it all in the 2008 crash, and came back stronger than ever. On his Lifetime Cashflow Podcast, he turned the mic on us to unpack how we built our portfolio from a single house hack to more than eighty units, a boutique hotel, and multiple income streams—all while working full-time jobs. We talk about the moments that changed everything, the systems that scaled our portfolio, and the mindset shifts that helped us level up from employees to entrepreneurs. If you are building your own version of financial freedom and want to learn how to create wealth that outlasts the money, this conversation will light the fire. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most entrepreneurs think hiring a Chief Financial Officer is only for big corporations, but that could not be further from the truth. Many small businesses are losing massive profits simply because they don't truly know their numbers. What if you could hire a part-time CFO to help you see what's really driving profit, cash flow, and scalability—without the full-time salary? In this episode, we sit down with Heather Parsons, a former Big Four accountant turned real estate investor and founder of a fractional CFO firm, to break down exactly what that means for founders and investors. Heather explains how most business owners rely on bookkeepers who look backward, while CFOs help you look forward—building dashboards, forecasts, and cash flow systems that lead to smarter decisions and consistent growth. You'll learn when to bring one in, how to know if you're ready, what it costs, and how this role can transform your business from reactive to proactive. If you're making money but still feel stuck in the weeds, guessing your numbers, or scaling without clarity, this conversation will show you how a fractional CFO can turn chaos into confidence and give you the financial control you've been missing. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Every time the government prints money the rich get richer, and now you can too. In this episode we sit down with Josh Mettle, who went from food stamps to a nine-figure real estate portfolio, to expose how the system really works. When the dollar loses value, assets rise, rents climb, and fixed debt becomes cheaper. That is how the wealthy win while everyone else falls behind. We break down why cheap mortgages are an asset, when to refinance or sell, and how to use real estate as an inflation hedge. Josh shares his personal strategy across real estate, gold, and Bitcoin and how he uses time and leverage to make compounding inevitable.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten. We live in a culture obsessed with instant gratification, chasing quick cash flow, fast promotions, and overnight results. But the truth is, real wealth, real health, and real impact are built over decades, not days. In this episode, we break down why the top one percent win simply because they play a longer game. We talk about how compounding works across every area of life from money and health to relationships and reputation, and why the small things done consistently today become the defining edge years from now. If you've been sprinting but still feel stuck, this episode will help you zoom out, realign your timeline, and start playing the game that actually leads to freedom. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Learn how to build business credit fast and access capital without destroying your personal credit Build business credit fast and unlock funding opportunities most entrepreneurs never discover—that's exactly what you'll learn in this game-changing episode with Ty Crandall, who runs the world's largest business credit coaching operation. Charles Gaudet and Ty dive deep into the critical mistakes business owners make when funding their companies, revealing why the worst time to seek money is when you actually need it. Ty shares his proven "3 C's Formula" (Cashflow, Credit, Collateral) that has helped thousands of businesses access over $30 million in funding monthly, and you'll discover how to separate your personal finances from business liability, build a fundable business credit profile from scratch, and tap into funding options ranging from $160K in 0% interest credit cards to 4% EIDL loans with 30-year terms. Ty Crandall is a military veteran, world-renowned business credit and financing expert, and successful entrepreneur who has transformed personal tragedy into a mission of service. As the author of two best-selling books on consumer and commercial credit, Ty is also a high-level business coach who helps entrepreneurs scale to 8-figures and beyond, and an international speaking sensation. After losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis—including his mortgage company, personal assets, and even resorting to passing bad checks to keep electricity on for his pregnant wife—Ty rebuilt from ground zero with a fundamental shift in purpose. His painful experience drives his commitment to educating business owners on building fundable companies while protecting their personal assets, making Credit Suite the go-to resource for entrepreneurs seeking capital access at favorable terms without personal guarantees. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The worst time to ask for money is when you actually need it—entrepreneurs should prepare and secure revolving credit lines before cash flow problems arise. Business owners should double their estimated startup costs and timelines, as ventures typically take twice as long and cost twice as much as anticipated. Building business credit is separate from personal credit and should begin the moment you start your business to avoid personal liability and guarantee requirements. The "3 C's Formula" determines funding eligibility: Cashflow, Credit, and Collateral—if you have all three, you qualify for SBA loans; if you have one strength, focus on lenders specializing in that category. Unlike personal credit, business credit scores (like Paydex) are based solely on payment history, inquiries don't hurt your score, and 90% of vendors don't report unless you're intentional about it. Entrepreneurs should stock up on revolving credit whenever available and when terms are favorable, even if they don't need it immediately, to prepare for economic downturns or unexpected opportunities. Alternative funding options beyond traditional banks include merchant cash advances, credit card stacking ($160K at 0% for 18 months), asset-based lending (stocks, 401Ks, cryptocurrency), and EIDL disaster loans at 4% for 30 years. Using brokers instead of going directly to lenders provides access to more funding options, better negotiating power, and often costs nothing extra since lenders pay referral fees to brokers.

Most people think real estate means fixing toilets, chasing tenants, or giving up your weekends.But what if you could earn cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits… without ever becoming a landlord? In this episode, we sit down with Shawn Winslow of Greenbriar Capital to break down how busy professionals and high earners can build wealth passively by investing in large multifamily deals as Limited Partners. Shawn manages tens of millions in assets and shares how syndications work, why he targets high-demand markets in New England, and how he helps everyday investors earn 18–20% IRRs without doing any of the dirty work. Together we walk through two deals that we recently executed as a team detailing how we boosted rents using Section 8 in New Hampshire and how we're attracting high-paying travel nurses in Vermont. You'll hear our exact strategy behind forcing appreciation and protecting investor capital. If you have capital but no time, this is the blueprint. No tenants. No headaches. Just passive income and equity upside.

The American Dream is disappearing before our eyes. Every day our purchasing power shrinks. Groceries that once filled a cart now barely cover a basket. Bills that once felt manageable now take a bigger bite out of your paycheck. Meanwhile, wealth flows to those who own assets while everyone else falls further behind. The numbers are staggering. The middle class is vanishing, leaving only two sides of the line: those who own assets and those who do not. The wealthy are not getting richer because they work harder. They are getting richer because they own scarce assets that rise in value while the dollar falls. The rest are left chasing a paycheck that buys less each year. In this episode we explain how money printing dilutes your savings, why inflation silently punishes those who sit on cash, and how you can get on the right side of the wealth gap before it's too late. All roads lead to real estate. The clock is ticking. The longer you wait, the harder it is to catch up. Let this episode be your wake-up call to start today. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most people think they can't invest in real estate because their local market is too expensive. Mike Buska proves that excuse wrong. He works full-time in private security and lives a market where finding cash flow is nearly impossible. Instead of giving up, he looked out of state.

He also explains how he tapped into a HELOC, using the equity in his primary home to fund multiple deals and accelerate his growth without draining his savings. Mike's story is proof that location doesn't matter when you have the right plan, the right people, and the discipline to take action. If you've been waiting for the “perfect time” or thinking your market is too expensive, this episode shows you how to start investing remotely, scale faster, and build wealth no matter where you live. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

What happens when a bakery pivot turns into a full-blown Airbnb empire? In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Llewellyn, an entrepreneur who went from scooping ice cream and selling blueberry muffins to running high-end short-term rentals in Louisville, Kentucky at the heart of bourbon country. Andrew shares how one property purchase changed everything, the systems he uses to run his Airbnb portfolio like a boutique hotel, and why creating memorable experiences for guests (from bachelor parties to corporate retreats) is the real key to success in hospitality. You'll learn how to spot opportunities others overlook, why experiences drive premium pricing, and what it takes to scale a short-term rental business beyond just “Airbnb side hustle” into a serious, sustainable venture. Whether you're curious about boutique hotels, real estate investing, or building a hospitality brand that stands out, Andrew's story is packed with takeaways you can apply right now. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
