Most people talk about investing in real estate. Ray Murphy actually did it — in just 90 days. At 28 years old, Ray was on the fast track at a prestigious architecture firm, but after watching senior leaders chained to their desks for 80 hours a week, he realized he didn't want that to be his future. So he made a decision: build wealth now — not someday. In this episode, Ray breaks down how he went from analysis paralysis to buying a $400K triplex in Philadelphia using just 5% down. He shares the mindset shift that made real estate feel non-negotiable, how mentorship gave him the blueprint, and the exact systems he used to take action without burning out. Ray opens up about the fear of starting, the process of moving cities to house hack, and how investing in himself changed everything. If you've ever said, “I want to invest in real estate… I'm just not ready yet,” Ray's story will change the way you think — and show you exactly what's possible when you stop waiting and start moving. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most people never take the leap — not because they can't, but because they're waiting to “feel ready.” In this episode, we dismantle the most dangerous lie holding you back: the belief that someday you'll feel more confident, more qualified, or more prepared than you do right now. We break down the real reason people stall on life-changing decisions — whether it's starting a business, buying their first rental property, hiring a coach, investing in themselves, or leaving a job that no longer serves them. You'll hear personal stories, uncomfortable truths, and hard-earned lessons about why action always beats perfection. If you've ever said “I'm not ready yet” or felt paralyzed by fear, this is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. The clock's ticking. Success doesn't wait. Neither should you. RESOURCES

Benjamin Dennehy is an engaging and entertaining trainer and speaker who blends humour, psychology, and raw insight to challenge everything you think you know about sales. Known as The UK's Most Hated Sales Trainer—a title he unapologetically made up for marketing purposes—Benjamin isn't here to coddle. He's here to disrupt. With brutal honesty and sharp observations, he holds up a mirror to the sales industry, exposing uncomfortable truths that many recognise… and few want to admit. Originally called to the bar as a qualified Barrister in New Zealand, Benjamin never planned on a career in sales—like most people in the profession. Very few dream of sales as kids, yet somehow find themselves selling by default, not design. Young, articulate, and presentable? That's often all it takes to land a sales role. But doing a job you never truly wanted? That's a recipe for mediocrity, and Benjamin is on a mission to change that. Through his no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud style, Benjamin helps sales professionals break out of autopilot and into purpose. He doesn't teach gimmicks—he teaches mindset. Whether speaking from a stage or leading a training session, he'll leave you thinking, laughing, and maybe just a little bit uncomfortable. And that's exactly the point.   During the show we discussed: Spotting high-value prospects quickly Leading sales conversations with confidence Building a top-performing sales mindset Sales script vs. process — what works best Disqualifying prospects faster and smarter How prospects deceive you—and what to do Creating a consistent sales pipeline Opening calls with clarity and purpose Handling objections without losing control Following up without sounding desperate Mindset shifts to earn more with less effort   Resources: https://uksmosthatedsalestrainer.com/

Eric's journey into the financial world was born from personal experience. Growing up, he watched his hardworking father battle a debilitating illness and saw the financial strain it placed on his family. It became clear to Eric that many hardworking professionals, like his parents, were navigating a complicated financial landscape without the personalized guidance they needed. This realization sparked his lifelong mission: to become the trusted advisor families could count on during life's most challenging moments. With a degree from the University of Rhode Island, Eric began his career at Merrill Lynch in Retirement Plan Services, laying the foundation for his expertise in long-term financial planning. He later joined Bloomberg, LP, where he deepened his knowledge and expanded his ability to deliver impactful financial solutions. Over the last 13 years, Eric has helped clients save millions in taxes and move confidently toward financial independence. What sets Eric apart is his empathy-driven approach. He takes the time to understand each client's unique story and crafts personalized strategies that align with their goals and values. His mission is to provide more than just financial advice—he offers clarity, security, and peace of mind, helping clients transform uncertainty into confidence and turn aspirations into lasting legacies.   During the show we discussed:  Tax planning vs. tax prep: the big misconception How tax strategy can save millions—and why few use it Real client example of proactive tax savings Why advisors must show up in tough times, not just wins Common financial traps before hiring an advisor The overlooked human side of financial advising Balancing ambition and risk in high-stakes decisions An investment to avoid—and the reason behind it Why one-size-fits-all advice is risky Crafting strategies based on life, not just income How empathy shapes better financial plans   Resources: https://www.emangold.com/
