Cash flow is what saves investors during downturns. On The Vinney And Beau Show, Vinney (Smile) Chopra and Beau Eckstein share one of the most important principles in investing: consistent cash flow. Beau Eckstein explains that markets will always fluctuate, but if you own assets that produce steady income, you gain the ability to ride out downturns and stay invested long term. Vinney Chopra reinforces this mindset with lessons from decades in real estate—showing why disciplined investors prioritize sustainable assets rather than speculation. In this clip you'll learn: • Why cash flow protects investors during market volatility • How long-term investing beats short-term speculation • Why consistency builds real wealth When your investments generate income, market swings become much easier to handle.

While there's still a lot of money chasing most quality real estate assets, great opportunities exist for those willing to take more risk with heavier value-add assets. One of the best examples is office buildings in rebounding markets that are selling at 10 to 20 cents on the dollar. Another example is well-located indoor malls that have rebounded and thriving since the pandemic. Travis King is Founder and CEO of REALM, an exclusive investment collective consisting of 100+ ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and foundations. REALM is dedicated to direct real estate investing including multifamily, Mobile Home Parks, office and malls.

Imagine replacing an entire rental property portfolio with just one “small” commercial asset. You can either manage 80+ rental units or just one building, with a fraction of the tenants, turnover, and headaches. Saul Zenkevicius did just that. He netted $250,000/year in cash flow from one small bay industrial real estate deal which quickly replaced the entire cash flow from a rental property portfolio he'd built over the years.  These small bay properties still have strong demand in most markets, with limited supply, and durable cash flow potential that institutional investors are finally starting to recognize. Saul made the leap and is now investing heavily in the small bay sector. He shares his exact buy box, the demographic signs of a strong market, and the biggest mistakes beginners can make in small bay warehouses.  Saul's contrarian thinking doesn't stop at small bay. We get his profitable take on why malls may be the most underrated investing play around. He's got real numbers to back it up—malls aren't dead; instead, they can be converted into cash flow machines.  Insights from today's episode: How Saul replaced an 86-unit rental portfolio with just one small bay investment  Still undersupplied? Why small bay may see strong demand for decades to come  Saul's point-by-point buy box of what to look for when buying a small bay warehouse  Mall conversions: Saul's contrarian investment strategy that's seeing huge payoffs  The market conditions that destroy small bay cash flow—and Saul's exact process for avoiding them — Connect with Saul on LinkedIn Sign Up for Saul's Newsletter Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

In this episode, we sit down with California-based multifamily real estate advisor Joseph Silva to explore why appreciation can often outperform cash flow when it comes to long-term wealth creation. Joseph specializes in helping investors evaluate their current real estate holdings, understand how their equity is performing, and strategically reposition their portfolios to unlock new opportunities. Drawing on his experience advising investors across California, Joseph explains how appreciation in high-demand markets can create massive equity growth that can later be leveraged into larger multifamily assets. Throughout the conversation, we break down how investors can analyze return on equity, use tools like 1031 exchanges, and redeploy capital from older or underperforming properties into stronger investments that align with their long-term goals. Joseph also shares real-world insights from the California market that demonstrate how appreciation - when paired with disciplined strategy - can dramatically accelerate portfolio growth. If you've ever wondered whether you should prioritize cash flow or appreciation in your investing journey, this episode offers a compelling case study on how strategically trading up equity can transform a real estate portfolio.   Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

What separates businesses that scale from those that stall? In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan sits down with Ken Wentworth — also known as “Mr. Biz.” After a successful corporate career at JP Morgan, Ken left the corporate world to become a fractional CFO and business strategist, helping companies uncover hidden opportunities inside their financials. The conversation explores what many founders miss when building a business: strong financial fundamentals, leadership mindset, and the willingness to challenge the way things have always been done. Ken breaks down how improving cash flow, budgeting discipline, and margins can dramatically change the trajectory of a company. He also shares what he sees across the companies he works with — from why many businesses stay stuck at slow growth to how economic downturns can actually create major opportunities. Ryan and Ken also dive into the evolving role of technology and AI in business, the mindset needed to scale companies, and why many entrepreneurs underestimate the value of listening to their team. Topics Covered • Why many business owners are great at their craft but struggle with the business side • Ken's transition from JP Morgan executive to fractional CFO and strategist • The three financial pillars every company must master: cash flow, budgeting, and margins • Why economic downturns can create major opportunities for growth • How mindset determines whether businesses stagnate or scale • The biggest mistakes companies make when trying to expand locations • Why great companies prioritize employees first • How AI is beginning to impact operations and decision making in business Connect with Ken Wentworth Website: mrbiz.com Instagram: @MrBizSolutions Book: Don't Fake the Funk: F Being Average Connect with Ryan Alford Website: ryanisright.com Instagram: @RyanAlford Listen to Collector Nation

In today's episode, Leonie and the brilliant Tamara Protassow are back together — crystals in hand, Lemurian energy activated — for a deliciously honest conversation about what actually moves the needle in your business.Tam shares the results of her bold 2026 experiment: marketing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (yes, even when it's inconvenient, even when life is chaotic, even when she's run out of words by 5pm). The results? WILD!Then Leonie — your favourite unicorn business coach and self-confessed membership obsessive — finally pulls back the curtain on the business model that has quietly generated over $10 million, served tens of thousands of members, and given her the freedom to run her multi-million dollar business from some of the most beautiful places in Australia.She's been running memberships since 2010. She's the OG. And she's sharing WHY she's never really talked about it before (unconscious competence is a wild thing, bestie), why she FLIES in the face of conventional membership advice, and why her renewal rates sit at a jaw-dropping 80% year after year. She also shares how her Academy members go on to become raving fans, long-term friends, and enthusiastic affiliates — a model that has sent $878,000 to small business women around the world instead of to Facebook ads.We cover:Marketing every single day — even imperfectly — compounds into real results within weeks, not years. Tam doubled her income in six to seven weeks.For AUDHD brains, an all-or-nothing approach is a feature, not a bug. Use it. Make marketing the ON switch that never turns off.The inner work IS the business work. Before Tam could market consistently, she had to examine her beliefs about visibility, consistency, and being seen.Revenue solves most business problems. Cashflow gives you the space to fix systems, hire support, and make better decisions. Focus there first.Memberships mean you never start the month at zero. Recurring revenue is financial security, creative freedom, and deep impact — all in one.Leonie's 80% annual renewal rate isn't an accident.

Are short-term rentals still a good investment in today's market? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke talks with real estate investor and Short-Term Shop founder Avery Carl about what's really happening in the short-term rental market in 2026. Despite headlines claiming "Airbnb is dead," Avery says the market is stabilizing after the post-COVID boom. Inventory is higher, deals are easier to negotiate, and experienced investors are still finding profitable opportunities. They discuss how vacation markets like Destin, the Smoky Mountains, and Myrtle Beach are performing, what kind of income investors should realistically expect today, and why buying the right property in the right location still matters most. Avery also shares common mistakes new investors make, how to evaluate short-term rental numbers, and why amenities and over-leveraging can quickly destroy cash flow. If you're thinking about investing in a vacation rental—or wondering if the short-term rental boom is really over—this episode breaks down what investors need to know now.

It's crazy when you think about it, but less than 1% of entrepreneurs ever sell their companies. Even fewer do it intentionally, strategically, and on their terms. If you're building a business without preparing for a future exit, you may be leaving millions on the table or worse, creating a company that can't function without you.Stephen Scoggins knows this firsthand. He is a speaker, author, and host of the Build podcast who created multiple companies — including one that grew to nine figures in annual revenue and successfully exited in 2023. But his story isn't just about a financial win. It's about faith, leadership, identity, and learning how to structure a business so it can scale beyond you and create meaning and purpose in your life.You'll hear what Stephen believes most entrepreneurs get wrong about selling their business, and the tax strategies he's now implementing after a massive liquidity event. We also dive deep into his journey from sleeping in his car to building companies that employ hundreds — and how faith shaped every turning point along the way.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why most entrepreneurs wait too long to prepare their business for sale and what Stephen recommends for runway time prior to an exit.✅ How quality of earnings can dramatically impact your final valuation and why buyers use it to justify lowering your multiple.✅ The difference between asset sales versus stock sales and why an F reorganization can have a dramatic impact on value.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/281Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

He is trained as a scientist at Oxford University and Harvard University, and then he became the vice president of Global Business development for a biotech company. During the pandemic, he found himself in a unique situation which led him to start his Amazon e-commerce business. He became a seven figure seller in just 11 months and now has a new business model of acquiring distressed assets, and he also owns a boutique Amazon account and launch management agency. So welcome to the podcast, Pradeep.Pradeep 00:00:36  Thank you so much.Josh 00:00:37  I love that you made the mention of when we go to conferences. And as you listen to speakers speak on stage or even listening to podcasts time and time again, we hear the same optimization strategies and the same keyword strategies, and it's just a new tool that people are using. But instead what you're saying is like, the hard stuff is what people aren't necessarily talking about. People aren't getting into the weeds of cogs and negotiating with suppliers and renegotiating on an ongoing basis, and the finer details of logistics and where you're warehousing things.Josh 00:01:14  And with Amazon, you know, reducing inventory limits across the board for people. What are people doing now to kind of prepare themselves for a world where Amazon does limit you completely and with maybe 1 or 2 months worth of inventory and that's it. And how are you staging your inventory and still winning on Amazon in that environment and then cash flow? I mean, all of these things are such great topics. So yes, let's do a deep dive into each of these. Let's start with the cogs first.Pradeep 00:01:45  Yeah, sure. so what we see is quite interesting with cogs. the cog numbers to start off with, sometimes a minimum, we say 3 to 5, but as Amazon and e-commerce goes more expensive, I think it's about 8 to 10. So if you're buying something for $1, you should be above 8 to 10 in terms of selling prices, if not more, right? What we see is again and again people are saying, hey, we have particularly beginners, hey, we have this 3 to 4, but with inventory, PPC, shipping and all these things, it's just the profits are gone.Pradeep 00:02:21  Before the pandemic or during the pandemic is very profitable. And this is, by the way, experienced. This sounds stupid. I find I find myself finding myself stupid explaining this to someone, but we actually see it every day. Seven, eight, nine figure sellers saying you want this brand because the cogs have gone too expensive because they haven't worked out. Fundamentally, the multiples and the multiples have to be really strong now and the bigger multiple margin to sell. So those cogs are fundamentally negotiable, and you have to have the right product and the cogs are cheap. Price number one. It sounds stupid, but that's what we see. Number two is the negotiation. Hey, we bought 100,000 units. Next time we're going to have three 400,000 units. But you're still selling for the same price. Why? Your your factory should be giving you a note or, you know, handle cash flow or a cheaper price because they're getting raw material cheaper. And what we see is, you know, I sign NDAs, but what we see is some of these aggregators and others who are famous when they go back and some of these factories are quite savvy, say, hey, you raise X amount of money.Pradeep 00:03:29  All of a sudden your cogs are gone up. So, you know. So I think that's again how you negotiate and how you have exclusive agreements for a period of time, particularly on your best selling products. We do this in pharma and other business tools all around the world. You want it for five years. This is the price. If the if if inflation goes down or if the market changes, this is going to be a price. We have the power to change it not you. So it might be having exclusive agreements. And that's how sophisticated you guys we have to get in e-commerce. Because this is no longer a, a mom and pop kind of operation. This has to be sophisticated. Even if your mom and pop or a guy in a basement. That's how you should be thinking. you know, solar. It could be a corporate on your own, but you've got to think like that. So, cogs and how you define the first cogs, the renegotiate the cost is very important.Pradeep 00:04:19  Then thirdly, how are you people storing cogs, right. How are you doing unit economics and how are you storing Excel sheet or software and so forth. And that has to be updated on a daily basis. we see fundamental mistakes and we see fundamental errors as well. You can pick it out straight away from, profit and loss statements as well. so that's something people have to be aware of. And it gets really hard because if you have multiple brands, multiple products, multiple inventory, you know, it's all over the place.

Building wealth through mobile home park investing is much less about timing the market or finding the “perfect” deal and far more about operating with precision, discipline, and a long-term vision. Too often, solid acquisitions are undermined by a series of avoidable missteps, not because the opportunity was flawed, but because operations were. Few understand this better than Brad Johnson, co-founder of Vintage Capital, who has closed more than $3 billion in acquisitions to date. Across 20-plus years of commercial real estate investing experience, Brad has had to wear several hats. Today, he primarily focuses on curating portfolios of cash-flowing assets and compounding investor capital, but he's also been a hands-on operator. In this episode, he shares insights on creating systems from the ground up, building a 30-person property management team, and working tirelessly to improve net operating income (NOI). For those who can master operations (or partner with reliable operators), Brad believes there will always be money to be made in mobile home parks. With artificial intelligence disrupting the job market and the affordable housing crisis continuing to affect millions of Americans, it remains perhaps the “most exciting” asset class, not just over the next few years but for decades to come. Insights from today's episode: The number one reason why mobile home park investments fail Small, silent “killers” that erode a mobile home park's cash flow Operational insights on building out a large property management team Why the mobile home park industry has been slow to “consolidate” Why mobile home parks are the “most exciting” commercial asset right now Checks and balances that prevent you from overpaying for park deals — Connect with Brad on LinkedIn Invest with Brad and Vintage Capital Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

On today's podcast, we're joined again by James Hwang, co-founder of Stellar Housing Solutions in New Jersey, where he and his partners operate 20+ midterm rentals through a mix of ownership, co-hosting, and arbitrage. James breaks down how he's expanded his reach far beyond his own units by building a local MTR network—a WhatsApp group of New Jersey operators who share leads, referrals, and vendors. That collaboration acts like a “third OTA,” keeping units booked even in slow seasons and opening doors to new co-hosting and arbitrage deals. We dig into arbitrage in today's market—where it still works, where it doesn't, and how James structures profitable deals. He targets solid but slightly less “premium” areas near hot markets, negotiates creatively around rent vs. deposits, and positions himself as the stress-free solution for landlords. James also walks us through his landlord conversation playbook: speaking as a fellow owner, addressing pain points like non-payment and property damage, and demonstrating how midterm rentals can mean early, automated rent and better-maintained units. That credibility often leads to repeat opportunities and more doors. If you're looking to scale midterm rentals, tap into community instead of competing, or revive arbitrage with smart analysis and systems, this episode with James is a masterclass in doing MTRs the right way.     Resources: Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Get in touch with Envy Investment Group Connect with James on Instagram Get the deets on Stellar Housing Solutions Find out more about MTR Office Hours Listen to Episode 193 Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Andre Oliveira, founder of Splash N Color, a bootstrapped 3D printing e-commerce business selling consumer goods on Amazon. The two cover a lot of ground — from how Andre went from running 40 FDM printers out of South Florida to offshoring manufacturing to China, to how he's using Claude Code to automate inventory management and generate supplier RFQs across 200+ SKUs. The conversation stretches into bigger territory too: the San Francisco AI scene, the rise of AI agents and what they mean for the future of the internet, whether local on-device AI will eventually replace cloud-based tools, and why building physical products will stay hard long after software becomes easy. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation between two self-taught builders figuring things out in real time. Follow Andre on X: @AndreBaach.Timestamps00:00 — Andre introduces Splash N Color, his Amazon-based 3D printing e-commerce business and explains the grind of running 40 FDM machines in South Florida.05:00 — The conversation shifts to Claude Code and how Andre built an inventory automation system to manage sales velocity and RFQs across 200+ SKUs.10:00 — Stewart and Andre compare notes on Opus 4.6, debate Codex vs Claude, and Andre breaks down the new Agent Teams feature in Claude Code.15:00 — Discussion turns to the San Francisco AI scene, the viral OpenClaw launch event that drew 700 people, and what's capturing the city's imagination right now.20:00 — The pair wrestle with data privacy, the illusion of it since 2000, and whether full transparency of personal data might actually serve people better.25:00 — Stewart pitches his vision of local on-device AI replacing cloud tools entirely, and they debate the 10–15 year timeline for mainstream societal adoption.30:00 — Andre traces his origin story: a high school dropout from Brazil who spotted a 3D printing opportunity on Facebook Marketplace and got lucky timing with COVID.35:00 — They explore whether AI-generated 3D models and DfAM will automate physical manufacturing, and why proprietary specs keep the space stubbornly hard.Key InsightsLifestyle businesses deserve more respect. Andre spent months feeling inadequate scrolling through Twitter watching founders announce funding rounds, before realizing his cash-flowing, location-independent business was already the goal. The social media version of entrepreneurial success warped his perception of what he actually had built.Claude Code is becoming an operating system. Stewart describes running Claude Code as having a second OS on top of MacOS — one that makes the underlying machine legible in ways it never was before. Both guests use it not just for coding but as a primary interface for understanding and operating their businesses.Agent Teams changes how work gets done. Andre explains that Claude's new multi-agent feature lets you assign a team lead and specialized roles that communicate with each other in parallel, essentially running an autonomous task force inside your terminal — a meaningful leap beyond single-instance prompting.Physical manufacturing will stay hard. Even as AI-generated 3D models improve, tolerances of 0.5 millimeters can mean the difference between a product working or not. Design for manufacturing is a separate discipline from design itself, and proprietary specs mean open source models rarely hit commercial quality.The internet is heading toward agents. Both guests agree that AI agents will increasingly handle tasks humans currently do manually online — booking services, making payments, coordinating logistics — with the human internet potentially becoming secondary to a machine-to-machine layer.Iteration is the real value of 3D printing. Andre pushes back on 3D printing as a business unto itself, framing it instead as a prototyping tool. The true value is rapid iteration on housing, tolerances, and fit — not the printer, but the speed of the feedback loop it enables.Technology compounds in layers. Andre closes with a tech-tree analogy: each generation normalizes the tools of the previous one and builds the next layer on top. Agentic coding today is what the internet was in the 90s — the foundation for something we can't yet fully see.

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview Why would a shop that has been open for over a decade, has loyal customers, strong brands, and steady traffic have stalled growth or even a decline in business? In this second installment of the Retail Mystery series, I share the fictional case of a home decor shop owner who feels stuck after 13 years in business. Profits are still coming in, but not at the level they once did. The owner points to the economy, weather, rising wages, and shifting customer habits. All valid concerns. But when the deeper investigation begins, a different pattern starts to emerge. This episode invites experienced shop owners to pause and look beyond external factors. If business feels harder than it used to, I'm offering practical clarity on where to look and what may need to shift inside the store itself. Our Key Topics What happens when you stick with "comfortable" and "easy" when it comes to inventory planning Why you need to keep up with modern customer needs based on your goals: social selling, social media, e-commerce, etc. What happens when you blindly stick to the keystone method of pricing your goods (100% mark-up, 50% profit margin) Why you need to be properly priced Key Takeaways around Inventory and Pricing 1. Evaluate whether each brand is earning its keep on the shelf and per square foot. Doing this will help you determine which brands are making you money and where you may be able to better utilize the space by bringing in something your customers will love. 2. Keep inventory fresh, especially for loyal local customers who have already purchased. Are you attending market to find out what the newest trends are? 3. Update merchandising so customers continue to notice and engage with what is new. Build new displays to keep things fresh. Revamped displays, even with the same merchandise, will help regular customers see things differently. 4. Price properly. The keystone method for pricing isn't cutting it anymore. If your customers won't pay what you need to charge to make the product worth carrying in your shop, it's not a viable product.   "Being nicely priced will put you out of business." - Wendy Batten Take a moment this week to look at your shop with fresh eyes and consider what areas may be ready for a thoughtful shift.
