From Apple News In Conversation: For the past few years, a campaign against sunscreen has been building — with social-media influencers claiming that sunscreen itself, rather than the sun, is damaging people’s skin and harming their health. The misinformation is working: More than 16 million adults have cut back or stopped using sunscreen because of it. Meanwhile, skin-cancer rates continue to rise. Brian Underwood, beauty and grooming director at Men’s Health and Women’s Health, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to share his reporting on who’s driving this movement, the confusing FDA report that helped fuel it, and what it will take to restore trust in sunscreen.

Most of our audience thinks about building wealth through real estate. Jon Ostenson thinks about it through franchises, and after this conversation, you might start looking at both differently. Jon is a top 1% franchise consultant in the U.S. and founder of FranBridge Consulting, where he connects entrepreneurs and executives with premier non-food franchise opportunities, think home services, health and wellness, pet care, and youth enrichment, not the drive-thru concepts most people picture when they hear "franchise." Before FranBridge, Jon spent 15 years in corporate America, including a run as VP of Sales at Carter's Inc. overseeing $350M in annual sales, followed by a stint as President of ShelfGenie, a national franchise system with 200 locations. He's also a multi-brand franchisee himself, so he's operating from firsthand experience, not just theory. In this episode, we talk about why non-food franchises can be one of the most overlooked paths to building a second income stream or an exit-ready asset, what actually separates a good franchise investment from a bad one, and how Jon's process helps people find a concept that fits their skills, goals, and financial targets, entirely for free, since FranBridge is compensated by franchise brands, not clients. We also get into how franchise ownership compares to real estate as a wealth-building vehicle, and why the data shows franchises often sell for a premium over independent businesses. If you've ever wondered whether there's a "buy box" for franchises the way there is for rental properties, this episode is your introduction. In this episode: Why non-food franchises are one of the most overlooked wealth-building opportunities How Jon's six-step process matches entrepreneurs with the right franchise Why franchise ownership is 100% free to the client (and who actually pays) How franchises compare to real estate as an investment and exit strategy What separates a good franchise fit from a bad one Jon's own path from Accenture to ShelfGenie to founding FranBridge Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

Chris White walked into the Wealth Juice Inner Circle with 6 doors. Today he's got 15, and he did it before turning 33.   In this episode, Chris joins us in studio to break down exactly how he made that jump. We talk about what his portfolio looked like when he first got involved with the Inner Circle, how expanding his network changed the deals he had access to, and how leveling up his game plan turned into a repeatable strategy across BRRRRs and flips in Philadelphia, Delaware, and Chester/Delaware County, PA.   This isn't a "get rich overnight" story — it's a real look at how someone actually scales a portfolio: the relationships that opened doors (literally), the strategy shifts that made growth possible, and the execution it took to go from 6 doors to 15 in a market most people think is too expensive or too competitive to build in.   If you're a W-2 professional sitting on a handful of properties and wondering how to actually scale, or if you're just getting started and want to see what's possible in your first few years, Chris's path is a blueprint worth paying attention to.   In this episode: Where Chris's portfolio stood before joining the Inner Circle How building the right network accelerated his deal flow His approach to BRRRR and flip strategies in Philly, Delaware, and Chester/Delaware County How he leveled up his game plan as his portfolio grew What it actually took to go from 6 doors to 15 before age 33 Lessons for anyone trying to scale a real estate portfolio while working a W-2 Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

From Apple News In Conversation: Testosterone prescriptions are at an all-time high in the U.S., and according to a survey by Men’s Health, 70% of men say their levels of the hormone are important to them. This increased attention to T has even reached the Pentagon, which announced mandatory testosterone screenings for troops over the age of 30. Michael Andor Brodeur, a Men’s Health contributor and author of the book Swole, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to explain how testosterone transformed from solely a medical treatment into a cultural obsession — and what that shift reveals about the pressures American men face today.

There's a corner of real estate most investors never think to look: properties tangled up in tax liens and clouded titles. Logan Fullmer built his entire business there. He's built a portfolio of companies around a strategy most investors have never even considered: solving problems for property owners who are stuck with tax liens and clouded titles, then turning those situations into real estate opportunities that cost a fraction of market value.   After graduating from Texas State's McCoy College of Business, Logan spent time in project management and oilfield services before moving into real estate, where he's worked as principal, LP, and GP across flex/industrial income property, land development, and distressed asset turnarounds. Today, his companies specialize in moving assets from inefficient to efficient markets through value-add strategies, ownership aggregation, workouts, and title curative solutions, essentially fixing the messy, complicated situations most investors walk away from.   In this episode, Logan breaks down what a tax lien actually is, how they end up attached to a property, and why they represent one of the most overlooked entry points into real estate investing. We talk about how he identifies these opportunities, what it actually takes to resolve a lien and unlock the property behind it, and why this strategy can be one of the lowest-capital ways to get started in real estate. If you've ever wanted a way into the market that doesn't require competing on price with everyone else, this conversation lays out a real, practical path.   In this episode:   What tax liens are and how they end up on a property Why "curative title" work is a massive, underused opportunity in real estate How Logan buys distressed and clouded-title properties for far less than market value What it actually takes to resolve a lien and turn it into a usable asset Why this strategy works with less capital than most real estate investing How Logan built a portfolio of companies around solving problems other investors avoid Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

There's a piece of the real estate wealth equation almost no one talks about — and it's not about the house at all. It's about the debt.   In this episode, I sit down with Jason Hartman - a 20+ year real estate investing veteran who's been through thousands of transactions and built his portfolio across 11 states and 17 cities — to break down a concept most investors have literally never heard of: inflation induced debt destruction. Jason walks us through how inflation quietly works in the investor's favor, eroding the real value of your mortgage debt while your asset appreciates, and why sitting on fixed-rate debt during inflationary periods might be one of the most underrated wealth strategies in real estate.   We also get into Jason's property tracking system and how he's used it to monitor and scale his portfolio over the decades, plus the specific decisions and mindset shifts that took his net worth from modest beginnings to where it stands today after 20+ years in the business. If you've ever felt like you were missing a piece of the real estate wealth puzzle, this episode connects the dots.   In this episode: What "inflation induced debt destruction" actually means (and why almost no one talks about it) How Jason uses property tracking tools to manage and grow his portfolio at scale The net worth trajectory Jason has built over two decades in real estate Why your mortgage might be your most powerful (and misunderstood) wealth tool Common mistakes investors make that keep them from seeing these benefits Jason has spent over 20 years teaching investors how to build wealth through income property, and he shares even more of this on his YouTube channel — go subscribe for ongoing market updates, investing strategy breakdowns, and deep dives just like this one.   Jason's Property Tracker: propertytracker.com Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

ohn McNellis didn't set out to become one of Northern California's most respected retail developers - he set out to avoid a courtroom. After a journalism degree at UC Berkeley and a detour through law school, John landed at a prestigious San Francisco law firm, hated litigation, and started flipping small duplexes on nights and weekends just to stay sane. Over half a dozen years, that side hustle quietly became a real business. 43 years later, John and his partners at McNellis Partners have developed more than 100 properties, mostly supermarket-anchored shopping centers, and he's distilled every hard-won lesson into the bestselling book Making It in Real Estate - now in its third edition and required reading at universities nationwide.   In this episode, John gets brutally honest about the arc of a four-decade career: the deals that built his reputation, the mistakes that nearly ended it, and why he believes "passive investment" in commercial real estate is one of the industry's biggest lies. We talk about what actually separates investors who last from those who flame out, why sticking to your "weight class" on deals matters more than chasing the big score, and how surviving - and winning - a down market comes down to discipline most people don't have. If you've ever wondered whether real estate is something you can realistically start on the side while keeping your W-2, this conversation is proof it's possible - and a clear-eyed look at what it actually costs to build something that lasts   In this episode: Why John walked away from law to bet on real estate part-time The "Ten Great Ways to Lose Money" he's learned firsthand What separates investors who last 40+ years from those who don't Why "passive investment" in CRE is a myth Surviving — and winning — in a down market The politics of City Hall and why real estate is never just about the deal Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice

This summer, the U.S. saw its largest cyclospora outbreak on record — with more than 22,000 suspected cases linked to contaminated iceberg lettuce, alongside a wave of other foodborne illnesses. Timothy D. Lytton, a law professor at Georgia State University and author of Outbreak: Foodborne Illness and the Struggle for Food Safety, joins Apple News In Conversation host David Greene to explain how America’s food-safety system actually works, how the system evolved, and what recent outbreaks reveal about the changes needed to make us all safer.

Mark and Keeley Toro didn't set out to build one of Tampa's most recognized real estate and development brands. It started with a bet Mark made on himself, walking away from corporate America with no guarantee it would work, and the discipline it took to turn that risk into a real business.   Today, Mark and Keeley run a design-driven real estate and development company in Tampa's urban core, known for full gut renovations that turn overlooked properties into standout homes. They've also built a mastermind community of local investors, all while running the business together as husband and wife.   We get into: The moment Mark decided to leave corporate America and what that bet actually looked like Their best deal, and what made it work so well Their worst deal, and the lessons that came out of it the hard way What it takes to build a real estate business as partners, both in life and in business How they built a design-first brand that stands out in a crowded market   If you've ever thought about betting on yourself but weren't sure you had the stomach for it, this conversation is proof it can be done, and what it actually costs to do it.

Rob Bergeron writes a free newsletter at five in the morning, five days a week, and has for years. One Saturday he sent it out saying he saw something happening between data and energy and wanted in. A reader named Mark, who had never once replied in five years, wrote back. That email became a data center company that has since shrunk the standard footprint by 92 percent. That is the whole method. Rob publishes in public, constantly and for free, and lets the right people find him. Rob calls himself the tilapia of realtors. He owns Winner Realty in Louisville, runs OffMarket.deals nationally, writes The Morning Bergeron five days a week, and is building what he hopes becomes the institutional standard for data centers. On paper that is four unrelated businesses. In practice it is one move, repeated. The wholesalers in Louisville were all convinced they were competing for the same buyers. Rob ran comps for them for years and never once took a deal off them. When he finally asked for their buyer lists, they handed them over. He merged those lists with his own, charged two thousand dollars only when he brought the buyer, and made forty two thousand in year one. That business is now OffMarket.deals. He posted on the BiggerPockets subreddit because nobody else was posting there. That produced David Greene. He sent one newsletter into the void about data and energy. That produced a partner, a connection to HKS, and a design that shrinks data center footprints by 92 percent, runs closed loop on 40 gallons of water a year, uses submerged cooling so it makes no noise, and routes its waste heat to farms. And he sends unsolicited letters of intent to listed properties and for-sale-by-owners on behalf of his clients' buy boxes. Direct mail hits at 1.1 percent and costs money. Rob hits at 2.1 percent and spends nothing. His frame for all of it: we are in the NIL era of real estate, where everyone has to earn everyone's business. Nobody is owed a repeat client. Rob also gives one percent of Winner Realty's net profits to Hand in Hand, which builds houses in Belize for about ten thousand dollars each. His stated legacy goal is one house every month, forever.

Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the Surgeon General of the United States under both Presidents Obama and Biden.   In that capacity, Murthy shaped the federal response to the opioid epidemic, the rise of e-cigarettes, the Flint, Michigan water crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Murthy has pushed to reduce access to social media for young children, pointing out the harmful effects of bullying, a lack of in-person interactions, and harassment.  Recently, Murthy has written about and spoken on the negative health effects of loneliness, calling it an “epidemic” that increases the risk of early death and other social problems. On April 16, 2024, Vivek Murthy came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk about how to combat loneliness with public radio journalist David Greene.

From Apple News In Conversation: Peak tick season is here — and the fastest-growing tick-borne illness in the country is alpha-gal syndrome, a condition that causes an often-severe allergy to red meat and other animal products. It’s primarily spread by lone-star ticks, once confined to the Southeast but now found as far north as Maine and Michigan. The syndrome can trigger a range of reactions — from hives to anaphylaxis — and at least one death has been attributed to it. New Yorker staff writer Burkhard Bilger, who has reported on the syndrome’s rise, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to explain how it was discovered, why it can take years to diagnose, and how it’s reshaping the way people eat, work, and spend time outdoors.

Before she was running a real estate private equity firm, Dani Lynn Robison was performing on cruise ship stages — no finance background, no built-in network, no obvious path to where she is today. In this episode, she shares how she made that leap anyway, and why she believes your starting point has almost nothing to do with what you're capable of building. Dani Lynn is the Co-Founder and CEO of Freedom Family Investments, the umbrella brand for Freedom Family Capital — a real estate private equity firm focused on recession-resilient, needs-based real estate like multifamily housing, senior housing, self storage, and build-to-rent. The strategy is designed to mitigate risk while compounding long-term, passive wealth, but the bigger conversation here is about permission: the permission to chase a life that doesn't look like the one you were handed.   We get into: Her jump from the cruise ship stage into the financial world, and what that taught her about betting on herself Why "needs-based" real estate holds up when the rest of the market doesn't How Freedom Family structures value-add deals to protect capital while increasing upside Her honest take on building a life and a portfolio you're actually proud of, regardless of where you started   Whether you're a W-2 professional eyeing your first deal or just need a reminder that your background isn't your ceiling, this one's worth the listen.

Hunter Schotts started building his real estate portfolio in Michigan, where he grew up, and in just three years he has grown it to eight units, all before turning twenty six. In this episode, Hunter shares how he built a homegrown portfolio from the ground up, the systems and teams he put in place to support it, and how he is now managing everything remotely after relocating to Colorado, with the help of family back home keeping things running smoothly.   We talk about his mindset around pursuing financial freedom while staying grounded in being a good person and genuinely loving the work, his future plans to expand into construction and development, and how joining the Wealth Juice Inner Circle helped push him to keep growing, including launching his own social media platform to document his journey. This is a story about building something real, staying disciplined at a young age, and creating a life around real estate on your own terms.   Go check out Hunter's journey on instagram @Hunterholdshouses Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wjpodcast/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice

From Apple News In Conversation: This year, the U.S. has seen more than 270 mass shootings — and firearms remain the leading cause of death for American children and teens. But solutions appear largely out of reach. New York Times reporter Mike McIntire, a gun owner himself, traces how we got here in his new book, Ricochet: Guns, Greed, and the American Way of Violence. McIntire talks to Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene about the surprising origins of the Second Amendment, how an obscure Democrat helped turn the National Rifle Association into a powerful lobby, and paths to reducing violence.

Most landlords don't find out what they did wrong until it costs them thousands of dollars, or worse, a lawsuit. In this episode, we sit down with Bonnie Galam, a real estate attorney with over a decade of experience who has also built a 100+ unit rental portfolio alongside her husband, all while maintaining her legal career. Bonnie brings a rare dual perspective to this conversation, having seen firsthand where landlords in the Philadelphia and South Jersey market run into trouble, and having lived the investing side of the business herself. We dig into the most common legal pitfalls new and experienced landlords make, what to actually look for before signing a lease or closing on a property, and the mistakes that quietly drain profits or expose investors to liability.   If you own rental property or are thinking about getting into real estate investing anywhere (but especially in the Philly or South Jersey area), this episode will change how you approach your next deal.

Bryan Driscoll started buying rental properties in Pittsburgh using the BRRRR strategy and quickly ran into the same problem every investor eventually faces, finding consistent motivated seller leads. Instead of competing for the same deals as everyone else, he taught himself paid ads, SEO, and PPC and started generating his own leads. That skill turned into Motivated Leads, a lead generation company that now helps real estate investors across the country find off market deals.   In this episode, Bryan walks through how he scaled his own portfolio to 14 units by staying focused on one zip code instead of spreading himself thin, the biggest mistakes investors make with their marketing, and how understanding attribution and KPIs completely changes how you evaluate a deal source. He also gets into the mindset side of building a high performance business without sacrificing family, and why he believes giving back through things like The Goodness Game isn't charity, it's strategy.   If you're trying to figure out how to consistently find deals instead of waiting for them to find you, this episode gives you the exact framework Bryan used to go from solo freelancer to running a business that fuels his own portfolio growth.

From Apple News In Conversation: President Trump earned more than $2 billion in his first year back in office. According to a mandatory financial disclosure released in June, most of that fortune came from cryptocurrency ventures. David Kirkpatrick, a staff writer at the New Yorker who has tracked Trump’s earnings for years, sat down with Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to unpack what the disclosure reveals about the president and his businesses — and the potential implications for everyday Americans.

This one isn't theory, it's four real deals our own Inner Circle members closed this year, and we're walking through the numbers on every single one.   Chelsea and Keith turned a vacant, squatter-occupied Akron property into their second BRRRR, learning the hard way that landscaping budgets matter. Hunter used a 24-hour acceptance window to win a Michigan duplex bidding war and push his portfolio to 8 units. Thomas finally pulled the trigger on his first duplex in Manchester, NH after almost a year in the community, proving that slow and steady still counts. And Bryan and Casey negotiated $34K off list on an upstate NY quadplex, then built a staggered rehab plan to force appreciation without draining their cash.   Four different markets, four different strategies, and four members who stopped waiting and took the next step. If you've been sitting on the sidelines wondering if this actually works for regular W-2 professionals, this episode is your proof.

Choosing the right brokerage is one of the most important decisions a real estate agent can make - and most people don't give it nearly enough thought.   In this episode, Cory sits down with his good friend, fellow agent, and real estate investor Anthony Scornaienchi, known as @casual_realestate on Instagram, for a candid conversation about why they both made the move to REAL and haven't looked back. This isn't a sales pitch - it's two agents who have seen what the industry looks like from the inside sharing why they believe REAL represents a genuine shift in what a brokerage can be.   They break down what makes REAL stand out for both new and experienced agents, from the technology and tools that actually make your day-to-day easier, to the culture of collaboration that most brokerages simply don't have, to the platform REAL has built that gives agents real leverage to grow their business and their income. Whether you're a brand new agent trying to figure out where to hang your license or a seasoned producer wondering if there's a better home for your business, this episode gives you an honest, boots-on-the-ground look at what REAL is actually like from two people living it.   If you've been thinking about making a move, this is the episode to listen to before you decide.

From Apple News In Conversation: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are being taken by millions of Americans. These medications have been approved for treating diabetes, obesity, and a small number of other chronic conditions. But even as experts are still learning how the drugs work, many people have found that they help with other disorders — from addiction to brain fog to arthritis — where anecdotal evidence is promising but the formal research hasn’t caught up. Julia Belluz, a contributing writer for the New York Times Opinion section and coauthor of Food Intelligence, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to explain why what’s unfolding right now may be the largest uncontrolled drug experiment in modern history.

Juan Munoz spent years building the kind of career most people would never walk away from. A first generation college graduate raised by a house cleaner and a pipe fitter, Juan became an electrical engineer, worked on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner program, and eventually joined NASA's International Space Station program before moving into aerospace leadership roles, including work on Sierra Space's Dream Chaser mini space shuttle.   But even with the credentials, stability, and career success, something was missing. In this episode, we talk about the moment Juan realized he wasn't wired for a life built around security and routine, and what it actually took to leave a NASA career behind and go all in on real estate.   Today Juan leads The Apollo Group at eXp Realty, the number one eXp team in Colorado and number five in the nation, with 135 five star reviews and zero ratings below five stars. We get into his engineer's approach to building a real estate business, why he believes real estate decisions are never just financial, and what it really takes to bet on yourself after years of following the safe path.   If you've ever felt the pull to walk away from something stable to build something more personal, this conversation is for you.

J Bencho didn't have to look far to find his real estate market. His family started investing in Pittsburgh back in 1925, and TJ has spent his entire career building on that legacy right there in his hometown. At 21 he took over a mortgage company while still a full time student at Duquesne University, and after graduating with a double major in finance and investment management, he spent the next 15 years running his own investment and property management companies before becoming a partner at SteelPoint Capital.   In this episode, TJ shares why he built his entire portfolio locally instead of chasing deals in other markets, and what that kind of deep market knowledge unlocks that outsiders simply don't have access to. We get into what it means to go all in on your business, why living below your means is non negotiable, and how he decides what actually deserves his focus. If you're weighing whether to build where you already have an edge or spread yourself thin across unfamiliar markets, this conversation makes the case for going deep instead of wide.

From Apple News In Conversation: The Supreme Court just wrapped one of its most consequential terms in recent memory — issuing major rulings on presidential power, birthright citizenship, and the rights of transgender athletes. But the story playing out in most headlines, legal analyst Sarah Isgur argues, is missing the bigger picture. Isgur is the editor of SCOTUSblog and the author of Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today’s Supreme Court. She joined Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to explain why she considers this the hardest term in the Roberts Court’s history, why Trump has lost far more cases than he’s won, and why the political framework most people use to understand the court tells only a fraction of the story.

Anthony O'Neal is a national bestselling author who has helped over 250,000 people get out of debt and take control of their finances. He built his foundation in the Dave Ramsey method, but has since evolved his message into something bigger: true freedom isn't just about paying off debt, it's about mental, spiritual, and financial freedom working together.   In this episode, we talk about his new book Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, why becoming debt free was never the finish line he thought it was, and what it actually takes to grow real wealth once the debt is gone. We also dig into money and marriage, how to align finances with a spouse, and the mindset shifts that separate people who stay stuck from people who build lasting freedom.   Anthony has grown a following of over 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube by delivering this message with clarity and conviction, and this conversation is packed with the same energy.

The Supreme Court just wrapped one of its most consequential terms in recent memory — issuing major rulings on presidential power, birthright citizenship, and the rights of transgender athletes. But the story playing out in most headlines, legal analyst Sarah Isgur argues, is missing the bigger picture. Isgur is the editor of SCOTUSblog and the author of Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today’s Supreme Court. She joined Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to explain why she considers this the hardest term in the Roberts Court’s history, why Trump has lost far more cases than he’s won, and why the political framework most people use to understand the court tells only a fraction of the story.

Distance stops most investors before they ever get started. Stella Han never let it. In this episode, I sit down with Stella Han, co-founder and CEO of Fractional, to talk about her journey building a real estate portfolio remotely from California into the Atlanta market - the deals, the lessons, and what it actually takes to invest in a market you've never lived in.   Stella's story is one of those that reminds you that geography is not the obstacle most people think it is. But the story doesn't stop at the portfolio. After running into a wall trying to raise capital for a larger deal - a painful and expensive lesson - Stella channeled that frustration into building Fractional, a platform designed to make raising capital and pooling resources with other investors faster, simpler, and more accessible than anything that existed before. What started as a personal problem turned into a company backed by Y Combinator that has helped operators raise hundreds of millions of dollars.   This one is a great listen whether you're an investor trying to figure out how to break into a new market, someone sitting on a deal that needs capital, or just someone who appreciates a great founder story rooted in real estate.

We have something under contract - and we wanted to bring you along for the ride. In this episode, we're giving you a raw portfolio update on our latest acquisition: a mobile home park in the Upper Valley NH/VT area, the same market where we've closed on our last four properties. This one is different though. Mobile home parks are a different asset class, a different due diligence process, and a different kind of opportunity - and we're walking you through all of it in real time.   This episode is purely about pulling back the curtain on how this deal came together, how we got it under contract, and what the due diligence process actually looks like on an asset like this. Sometimes the best deals find you, and this is one of those stories.   If you've ever wondered what it looks like when a real portfolio evolves into new asset classes, or how investors find and underwrite deals in markets they already know and trust, this episode is a front row seat to exactly that.

Most people either never buy a rental property or they become accidental landlords once ans stop there. They never trade up, never level up, and wonder why their portfolio never actually goes anywhere.   In this episode, Ryan and I break down the Monopoly Method -- the exact blueprint for building real, sustainable wealth by strategically trading up your equity from property to property. We're talking about starting with one "crappy" duplex and using it as the launchpad to get into bigger and better assets. $100K properties turn into $500K properties. $500K properties turn into $2M properties. Rinse and repeat.   This isn't theory. It's the same framework we've used ourselves and coached hundreds of investors through -- and it's the closest thing real estate has to a cheat code. If you've been sitting on equity and wondering what your next move should be, this episode is your blueprint.

From Apple News In Conversation: When New Yorker staff writer Jay Caspian Kang sat down to do his taxes, one question surfaced: Should he still be saving for his 9-year-old daughter’s college fund? What followed was a deeply reported series about the growing crisis in American higher education and the forces behind it — from AI to soaring tuition to a collapse in public trust in institutions. Kang speaks with Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene about what colleges are actually for, whether they’re still delivering on their promises, and what the future of higher education might look like.

Wow, Episode 400.. Thank you all for tuning in and being a part of our journey. We're just getting warmed up!   Rachel Covert spent fifteen years climbing the ranks of the fashion industry, eventually becoming VP of a nine figure business. From the outside it looked like the dream. She ran a team, traveled internationally in business class, and shaped the products millions of people wore. From the inside, the picture looked different.   In this episode, Rachel walks us through what it actually took to build that career, the moment she realized the climb wasn't sustainable, and how she used the principles of financial independence to walk away from fashion entirely by 36. We talk about what her investment portfolio looked like in the years leading up to that decision, the mindset shifts that had to happen before the numbers ever worked, and why she now spends her time helping others build the same kind of financial literacy she had to learn the hard way.   If you have ever wondered what it actually takes to trade a high pressure career for financial freedom, this conversation lays it out honestly, real numbers, real tradeoffs, and all.

Doron Levi arrived in the U.S. as a twenty-year-old immigrant with no safety net and barely enough money to get by. He worked every job he could find, learned the service industry from the ground up, and went on to build and exit multiple multi-million-dollar companies. Then he bet on himself again, this time in real estate, and skipped the typical fix and flip starting point entirely. His first project was a ground-up 25-unit development, turning a half-block warehouse into a $7M asset that later grew to $13M. That deal became the foundation for everything that followed.   Today Doron has over $70M in improved real estate across multifamily, commercial, and redevelopment projects, and he operates as a developer, builder, operator, investor, and mentor. In this episode we get into how he made the jump from running service businesses to ground-up development, why he believes relationships matter more than returns in this business, and how he evaluates deals and spots potential in land and people before it's obvious to anyone else.   We also talk about the human side of real estate investing: the role of trust, communication, and emotional intelligence in winning deals, and why Doron sees his work as building people and confidence, not just buildings. If you're trying to figure out how to scale past your first deal or you're curious what it actually takes to go from nothing to a $70M portfolio, this conversation is packed with real, lived-experience insight.

From Apple News In Conversation: The United States turns 250 years old this summer — and there’s no shortage of ways to mark the moment. One of the most revealing lenses through which to view the country’s history may be music. Anna Harwell Celenza, professor at Johns Hopkins University and author of On the Record: Music That Changed America, joined Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to discuss the hidden political history of American music — from why “The Star-Spangled Banner” became the national anthem to how “Strange Fruit” helped pass anti-lynching legislation — and what music still has to say about democracy now.

Bryan Cohen spent his college years locking down opposing scorers as a three time Defensive Player of the Year at Bucknell, then played professional basketball overseas. When his playing career ended, he didn't follow the typical post athlete path. He teamed up with his brother Aron and started buying and renovating single family homes in Philadelphia, learning the real estate game from the ground up. That early hustle turned into Full Court Development, a company that now handles everything from new construction single family homes to ground up multifamily projects, including helping developers build 89-unit buildings. In this episode, Bryan breaks down how the discipline and competitiveness from his playing days translated directly into business, what it actually takes to go from house flipper to full scale developer and builder, and the lessons he's learned scaling a construction company in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. If you've ever wondered what life after athletics can look like when you bet on yourself, this conversation is packed with insight on construction, development, and building something real with the people you trust most.   Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wjpodcast/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice

What if your biggest competitive advantage in real estate wasn't a market, a strategy, or a mentor - it was your spouse?   In this episode, Cory sits down with Ali and Josh Lupo, known as @theficouple on Instagram, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to build wealth as a team. Ali and Josh first appeared on the show years ago at the start of their real estate journey, and today they're back to share how far they've come - from buying duplexes and fourplexes to stepping back from active investing and moving into private money lending, all while building a business and community around financial independence.   They get into how they got aligned early on and made real estate a team sport, what it actually looked like to divide responsibilities and navigate the hard seasons of entrepreneurship together, and the mindset shift required to stop being an operator and start thinking like a capital allocator. From scaling their portfolio to launching a community built around the FI lifestyle, this conversation covers the full arc of what building a real business as a couple really looks like behind the scenes.   If you've been wondering how to bring your spouse into your investing journey — or how to scale beyond the grind of active management of a few rentals, this episode is your starting point.

Brendan Hunt, co-creator, writer, and star of Ted Lasso and cohost of the Apple News Original podcast After the Whistle, joins Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to talk about how he fell in love with soccer as an adult, the U.S. Men’s National Team players he’ll be watching, and whether the United States is finally a soccer country.

Most small business owners and investors are one Google search or ChatGPT prompt away from making a legal mistake that costs them thousands - and they don't even know it. In this episode, I sit down with Joe Prencipe, a former Wall Street M&A attorney who trained at the #1 international M&A law firm in the world and has overseen more than $100 billion in transactions.   Now he's bringing that same world-class legal firepower directly to small business owners who deserve better than a paper-pushing attorney or a chatbot telling them what's "probably fine." Joe breaks down the most expensive mistakes business owners make, what one bad clause in a contract can do to the best deal of your life, and why slowing down to get the legal stuff right is actually what lets you build bigger.   This isn't a boring legal episode - it's a masterclass in protecting your wealth while you grow it. If you own a business, invest in real estate, or plan to scale anything at all, don't skip this one.

Aaron Parsley, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, was there — and though he survived, his family suffered a devastating loss.

Now he’s out with a new essay and a podcast about what their recovery has looked like. Parsley joined Apple News In Conversation guest host David Greene to talk about grief, the evolution of his faith, and what survival really means.

Andy Neary was a pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. He did everything you're supposed to do - dedicated his life to the game, sacrificed everything for it — and still came up short. In this episode, Andy gets brutally honest about why he believes he failed at professional baseball, and more importantly, the identity shift he had to make to stop defining himself by a dream that was over.   What followed was a complete reinvention: mastering daily habits, building a personal brand from scratch, and becoming a best-selling author and business coach. If you've ever tied your entire identity to one thing - a sport, a job, a title - this episode will hit different. This is the conversation nobody has in the locker room but everyone needs to hear.   Andy's Brand Blueprint: https://completegameu.com/blueprint Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wjpodcast/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - revenued.com/juice

What if you could buy a cash-flowing short-term rental for $40,000? Not in a random flyover market, not with a ton of risk, but in one of the most visited tourist destinations on the planet.   That's exactly what Nick and Derek of Yuki Homes discovered after following their passion for skiing to Japan and spotting an opportunity most Western investors have completely overlooked. In this episode, Cory sits down with the duo to unpack how a shared love of powder days turned into a full-blown real estate operation, and how they built the team, systems, and infrastructure to allow investors from the United States and beyond to own and operate profitable short-term rentals in Japan, completely remotely.   We get into how Nick and Derek met, what drove them to build Yuki Homes together, and why Japan stands out as one of the most underrated STR markets in the world. Think affordable entry points, strong year-round demand, and a tourism market that keeps growing.   If you have ever felt priced out of short-term rental investing in the U.S., or you are simply looking for a creative way to diversify your real estate portfolio internationally, this episode is going to open your eyes to a market you probably never had on your radar.
