Here's the truth nobody talks about: investing isn't about saying “yes” to every shiny opportunity that comes your way. It's about discipline. It's about mastering the art of saying “no.” It's about boring consistency, and yes, sometimes it feels plain, but that's where real wealth is quietly built. Paul Moore's journey from rags to riches didn't just end with his financial exit. He wiped out his debt and embraced the mindset that no matter what, you never stop giving. Because giving fuels growth, relationships, and opportunity in ways money alone never can. What if saying “no” more often is actually the key to unlocking your financial freedom? Are you prepared to keep giving, even when it feels like you've given enough and things get tough? In this episode, founder of Wellings Capital Paul Moore, joins me to talk about real estate investing, how he went from rags to riches, and why the way out is to always give.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Learning to say NO The most successful investors achieve their results by saying no to nearly every opportunity. How can learning to say no improve decision-making and long-term success? -The real housing crisis Many real estate developers prioritize luxury apartments, overlooking the growing demand for affordable housing. What is the impact of this unbalanced supply and demand? -Warren Buffett: rules for real estate Warren Buffett emphasizes investing in real estate with a long-term mindset, focusing on value, not hype. How can adopting a long-term, value-focused approach improve real estate investment strategy? Guest Bio Paul Moore is the Founder of Wellings Capital. After graduating with an engineering degree and then an MBA from Ohio State, Paul entered the management development track at Ford Motor Company in Detroit. After five years, he departed to start a staffing company with a partner. They scaled and sold the company to a publicly traded firm five years later. After a brief “retirement” in his early 30s, Paul began investing in real estate in 1999 to protect and grow his own wealth. He completed over 85 real estate investments and exits, appeared on HGTV's House Hunters, rehabbed and managed dozens of rental properties, and developed a subdivision. After completing three successful real estate developments, including assisting with the development of a Hyatt hotel and a very successful multifamily project, Paul narrowed his focus to commercial real estate in 2011. Paul is married with four children and lives in Central Virginia. Visit https://www.wellingscapital.com/resources for more information.

X: @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Bill Yeargin, President/CEO of Correct Craft, an iconic and innovative American boat manufacturing company based in Orlando, Florida. The conversation is focused on America's exceptionalism and the nation's unique entrepreneurial spirit which fuels economic opportunities, economic growth and spurs private philanthropy and volunteerism. Natasha Srdoc, Joel Anand Samy and Bill Yeargin take time to reflect on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, and how Americans sacrificed much to defend freedom and liberate millions around the world from tyranny. The American "just" intervention saved millions of people and ended the extermination of Jews by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. The timely broadcast also highlights how Correct Craft and its leadership heeded the call from General Eisenhower during a critical moment during World War II and stepped forward to build more than 400 boats in some 19 days. The record-breaking time to build these Storm Boats was done under the leadership's commitment to keeping the Sabbath. This incredible story led the National Geographic to call it a "Miracle Production." Correct Craft's Storm Boats saved the lives of 15,000 American soldiers and hastened the end of World War II in Europe. The Storm Boats were vital for the U.S. military in crossing the River Rhine, the last major natural barrier in Germany as the troops were heading to Berlin. This year, Correct Craft celebrates its 100th anniversary and plans to bring a replica of the Storm Boat used in World War II to Washington, DC. This celebration symbolizes the significant role of an American company, heeding the call to advance freedom, and how its leaders over the course of the past century fueled economic growth for the nation. The discussion highlights how Bill Yeargin and the leadership at Correct Craft navigated through major challenges and took the company from $40 million in sales in 2009 to over $1 billion today. Bill Yeargin is the author of six best-selling books including “Making Life Better,” “Education of a CEO” and the most recent “Faith Leap.” Visit: Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/stores/Bill-Yeargin/author/B08QTP52ZT?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=37583848-78bd-4875-8ea2-c413c16567b4) americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

“So, we're on the elevator—and we're angry.”In this raw and revealing follow-up to last week's episode, Lauren picks up right where they left off: the hotel hallway tension, the slammed door, and the unforgettable, rage-fueled sex that followed. Clothes were ripped off, bodies thrown against walls, and a deep desire to be chosen and wanted took over.Lauren and Trey reflect on the erotic electricity of that night—what made it so charged, why they've never had sex like that before, and how it left them both breathless… and then laughing when Trey had to wear Lauren's sweatshirt home after the fire alarm went off. (Yes, really.)But this episode isn't just a sex story. They unpack the difference between hot and healthy. They name the ingredients that made that encounter intense and why they've agreed not to repeat it. Together, they explore the psychology of angry sex, make-up sex, and what happens when arousal is driven by disconnection instead of desire.They then shift into what's coming next: their plans for an upcoming Manhattan rendezvous—one that blends familiarity and mystery—and Lauren's exciting speaking gig at Soho House. She opens up about her growth, the mantra she's holding—"I am good enough"—and how she's preparing to do Live Sex & Relationship Coaching on stage.Trey shares his excitement and support for Lauren's so-called “National Tour,” and they talk about what it means to keep showing up for each other, especially when the stakes are high.This conversation blends sexual healing, relationship advice, and emotional intimacy, offering tools for couples who want to better understand the intersection of sex and conflict. Whether you're curious about sex after a fight, make-up intimacy, or how communication can turn rage into repair, this episode delivers insights you won't hear in couples therapy or your group chat.

Our conversation focuses on America's borders and the efforts of the US Border Patrol in safeguarding the American people from terrorists and their weapons, drug smugglers, and the illegal entry of undocumented aliens. We also focus on sanctuary cities and states and the efforts of USBP and ICE to arrest and deport illegal alien criminals. The conversation also addresses the threats emanating from dangerous cartel groups smuggling illicit drugs and terrorists. We also delve into reports of the recent increase of interdiction of illicit drugs (including fentanyl), drug proceeds and weapons — as patrol agents are re-directed to focus on their primary responsibility, and instead of dealing with the mass invasion chaos of illegal aliens in the Biden-Harris era, to confronting the evil schemes of the cartels. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @USBPChief @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this vulnerable follow-up to last week's episode on opening up their relationship, Lauren and Trey share how they're really doing—and the deeper attachment patterns that were activated in the aftermath.Lauren opens up about her coach's reflection that she often strives to “do it all” to protect Trey from pain. Trey reveals his own avoidant tendencies, formed in childhood, to escape disappointment and judgment when others fail him. Together, they explore how these strategies, shaped by their families of origin, play out in long-term partnership.They unpack why words from outside voices—coaches, mentors, and therapists—can land differently than when they come from within the relationship, and how external perspectives help them grow as individuals and partners.This episode dives into the quiet pitfalls of committed relationships: fusion, business-mode, the death of mystery, and the pressure to keep each other comfortable. Lauren reflects on how “the unknown” is part of her erotic landscape, and why being curious—and remaining unknown—to each other keeps their desire alive.They quote their friend and colleague Dene Logan: “The desire to keep another comfortable is not love, it is attachment.” From here, they explore their biggest turnoffs (Trey's is caretaking, Lauren's is sameness), and at minute 17:20 Lauren asks a pivotal question: What's the difference between caretaking and offering support? The answer leads them to a powerful realization about infantilization, helplessness, and the ways gendered expectations keep us stuck.They close with an honest conversation about asking for help, why men often don't, and how true partnership means a dynamic flow of giving and receiving—where no one has to carry it all alone.Timestamps:00:00 – How last week's episode impacted them06:15 – Childhood wounds & attachment strategies11:40 – Why outside voices matter14:50 – Fusion, sameness & the death of mystery17:20 – Caretaking vs. offering support23:00 – The fear of asking for help26:30 – Challenging “women's work” and old beliefs

This week, Lauren and Trey dive into a big, juicy topic: breaking up—but not with each other. (Don't worry, they're still together!)When Trey invites Lauren to share about a date night she requested, the conversation turns deeply personal. Lauren opens up about a core pattern in her attachment style: the fear of being “too much” and the impulse to protect others from her bigness—especially when she's on the edge of growth.She shares the origin of that story, the somatic response our bodies have to perceived threats to attachment, and how those old beliefs can sneak into even the most loving partnerships. As her business, Sex Ed for You, takes off—and more people ask her to write a book—Lauren admits that even sexy texts from Trey on her weekend off can feel like pressure, not pleasure.Trey offers a surprising solution: "What if we just broke up?"Not with each other—but with outdated roles and stories.In a twisty, tender, and hilarious conversation, they explore the freedom that comes with redefining relationship agreements. Trey reflects on his own experience in football operations, how watching the NFL used to feel like work—and how that mirrors what Lauren's going through now.He reminds Lauren that he wants her to chase her dreams—that "that's" the woman he fell in love with.✨ This episode is a heartfelt, real-time unraveling of the beliefs that keep us stuck—and a powerful reminder that sometimes, love means letting go… of everything except each other.

What do you do when your partner's ego takes the wheel? In this deeply honest episode, Lauren and Trey explore how to handle ego in real-time partnership. Trey opens up about recent struggles with his inner critic, replaying imaginary arguments, and how it's made him short-tempered. Lauren gently suggests this might not be "stupid" behavior—but actually part of the work of real, evolving partnership.They unpack a pivotal moment that came to a head over ice cream, when Trey's defensiveness flared in response to their 14-year-old. Lauren accessed anger in a way she rarely does, and for the first time, Trey dropped his walls. What followed was a meaningful, healing conversation that helped them both grow.Lauren connects this moment to Trey's childhood patterning—specifically, the safety-seeking behaviors he developed when his mother would yell at him in the car. She wonders if “The Baby” might actually be the healing balm for his mother wound. Trey admits Lauren can provoke him like no one else—and maybe that's a good thing.Later, they share details from a playful, connected date where they revisited the 3-Minute Game. The experience was so profound that it might have sent them into a state of DROP—a physical, emotional, and chemical crash that can follow intense pleasure. Lauren explains how the nervous system reacts to intense intimacy, why we sometimes feel disoriented or exhausted afterward, and how important it is to close the container.They wrap up by discussing what they'll do differently next time to stay connected and grounded—and how to better support each other through the mess and magic of long-term love.

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey share how they've learned to say "No" to sex — without creating distance, resentment, or feelings of rejection.They start by introducing a powerful game from Dr. Betty Martin 's WHEEL OF CONSENT: -Like A Pro Training called "No Three Ways," and reflect on how it helped rebuild trust between them after a traumatic experience at a tantra party earlier that year. (Catch that story HERE)Lauren and Trey explore:- How childhood experiences around "No" shaped their adult relationships- How they're working to honor their 14-year-old's boundaries- Personal responsibility for orgasm (and why it matters!)- How they navigate saying "No" inside their partnership — and when it does or doesn't feel like rejectionThey also model different communication tools they've found incredibly helpful, like:➔ "Not now, but then"➔ "Not that, but this"➔ "I'm interested"➔ "This benefits me"The conversation gets juicy as they discuss why touch and sex often get conflated — and how unspoken "No's" can create distance over time. They even do about 8 minutes of role-playing, modeling how to gracefully decline sexual invitations while still keeping intimacy alive.At 43:00, they shift into an honest conversation about the differences between solo sex and partnered sex — and why they aren't in competition.Trey asks at 45:15, "If I fantasize about another woman or use porn to orgasm, why don't you take it personally?"

In this vulnerable and emotionally-rich episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey unpack a recent argument that started with Trey's new hairstyle—but quickly spiraled into deeper feelings of not being heard, not feeling prioritized, and long-standing insecurities.Trey bravely shares how hurt he felt when Lauren made a seemingly small but painful comment, and how it led to a moment where he didn't feel safe taking his hat off in public. Lauren opens up about her fear of “angering the dragon,” and the shame that creeps in when she feels like she's going to be “found out” as not good enough—especially in moments she's trying to help, like with his hair.Together, they explore the anatomy of an argument: the initial misstep of not knowing who the gift was for, the breakdown in communication around expectations, and the importance of renegotiating in real time. They talk through how they navigated Sunday morning's repair conversation—not by obsessing over the accuracy of memory, but by focusing on the tools and connection they wanted to rebuild.Trey reflects on how easily this could've turned into a deeper rupture, and what it would've meant for the relationship if Lauren had doubled down instead of getting curious. They touch on gaslighting, the emotional weight of small comments, and how to reframe conflict as an invitation to move closer rather than farther apart.With humor (hello, dragon jokes) and heart, this episode is a raw, real-time example of how to argue with love—especially when one partner doesn't feel heard and the other feels insecure.✨ If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who's learning to fight fair—and don't forget to rate and review the podcast so more folks can find us.
