What if your biggest financial struggle became the turning point that changed your entire future? In this episode, we sit down with Camron Cathcart, a former pastor who found himself barely scraping by. He was checking his bank account before every grocery run and driving on tires worn to the wire. But a life-threatening emergency involving his daughter, followed by a $15,000 hospital bill, forced a mindset shift that changed everything. Cam shares the raw truth behind his pivot from ministry to real estate, how one “impossible” dream to live in Hawaii became reality, and how that journey led to buying Brandon Turner's personal home. Today, Cam not only lives that dream, but he also co-hosts The Better Life Podcast with Brandon and helps others build lives of purpose and wealth through real estate.We talk about the power of vivid vision, how mentorship and community are the real cheat codes to wealth, and why the key to success often lies in being present enough to realize you're living the good old days right now. Whether you're stuck in a season of struggle or searching for what's next, this episode is a powerful reminder that one bold decision can change everything. Free Rental Property Workshop: Learn how to buy your first (or next) rental property in 2025.

Knowing why you want to exit is crucial. Learn how to get the exit value you deserve. They Got Acquired offers great industry exit data. Revenue and income impact your exit value. Your “secret sauce” can increase your worth. Profit drives maximum exit value. A sustainable business model is essential. Revenue is vanity; profit is sanity. The Whisper Group helps you decide to sell or stay. The Exit Gap affects female-led businesses. Women-owned businesses get just 0.08% of exit dollars.

Why 99% of Businesses Get Denied for Credit — And How to Fix It

Everyone's chasing rentals and Airbnbs… but the best-kept cash flow secret might be self-storage. In this episode, we sit down with Steven May, a former nurse who walked away from healthcare and built a portfolio of seven self-storage facilities without millions of dollars in the bank or years of experience. Steven breaks down how he got started with house hacking, why he shifted into storage, and the exact cold-calling strategy that helped him land off-market deals. He shares his buy box, management systems, and what most investors get wrong when analyzing self-storage opportunities. We also get into real-world numbers, the role interest rates play, and how Steven's building long-term wealth by focusing on simplicity, cash flow, and execution over hype. If you've ever wanted a step-by-step look into how self-storage works and why more investors are quietly pivoting to it, this episode is your blueprint. Free Rental Property Workshop: Learn how to buy your first (or next) rental property in 2025.

Everyone wants work-life balance, but no one talks about the price you have to pay to get there. In this episode, we get brutally honest about what it really takes to build something meaningful.For the first four years, we worked nights, weekends, and poured everything into our business. We weren't chasing balance. We were chasing freedom. And now, in year five, we're finally seeing the payoff.In this episode, we break down why the work-life balance narrative is holding people back, the difference between burnout and buy-in, and why obsession (not balance) is what actually moves the needle. We also unpack why “follow your passion” is terrible advice if you haven't built the skills, cash flow, or clarity to support it (and what to focus on instead).This conversation explores the seasons of life and business, the value of building real skills over chasing passions, and why community and support are essential when you're in the trenches. We also get real about the mental battles, setbacks, and sacrifices it takes to stay the course because those struggles are what shape you. If you're trying to build a life 99% of people don't have, you're going to have to work like 99% of people won't. Free Rental Property Workshop: Learn how to buy your first (or next) rental property in 2025.
