There was a time when Gabe Johansen's life revolved around partying, late nights, and a lack of direction - a path that was quickly heading somewhere dangerous. Today, based out of Salem, he controls over $200 million in real estate assets. In this episode, we sit down with Gabe to unpack the full transformation: the turning point that forced him to reevaluate everything, how he rebuilt his identity from the ground up, and the first deals that set him on a completely different trajectory. We break down how he scaled from smaller investments to institutional-level assets, the partnerships and systems required to operate at that level, and the mindset shift that separates people who dabble in real estate from those who build real wealth. This episode is about transformation — about choosing to create a new version of yourself when it matters most. And throughout the conversation, Gabe shares tactful, real-world insight into how he strategically scaled his multifamily portfolio to over $200M.

He landed in the US with $50 and quickly realized he had about a week to figure everything out. With a 60-day clock hanging over his head and no guarantee he could stay in the country, Gaurav Dutta had two options: build leverage fast or get sent home. What followed was a relentless path through janitorial jobs, visa lotteries, layoffs, and closed doors, including a moment where he applied to nearly 10,000 jobs just to keep his life in the US alive. Instead of playing defense, Gaurav began studying money, ownership, and real estate, eventually using house hacking, partnerships, and long-distance investing to build a 55-unit portfolio from more than 8,000 miles away. This episode breaks down what it's really like to build wealth when the system isn't designed for you. We talk about the visa trap most people never see, why ownership became his only real leverage, and how creating systems and teams allowed him to invest passively and legally while working a demanding W2. We also unpack the mindset shift that happens when your back is truly against the wall and why pressure can either break you or force you to build something that lasts. If you've ever felt stuck, boxed in by rules you didn't create, or unsure how to build freedom without quitting your job, this conversation will change how you think about leverage, risk, and what's actually possible when you refuse to let the clock decide your future.

When Hollywood wouldn't return her calls, Forbes Riley didn't wait for a breakthrough. She created one. With no agent and no clear path forward, she literally acted as her own manager, creating a separate persona, changing her voice, and pitching herself for roles under a fake agency just to stay in the game. This is one of those stories that was too good not to share. This episode is a masterclass in being unapologetically yourself, using “delusion” as a weapon, and doing whatever it takes to create your own path when no one is opening doors for you. We talk about manifestation before it was trendy, why most people unknowingly fight for their own mediocrity, and what actually happens when you stop waiting for validation and start backing yourself fully. If you've ever felt like you were too much, unrealistic, or out of your lane, this conversation might be the permission slip you didn't know you needed and a reminder that the fastest way to change your life is to stop playing small and start believing in yourself all the way.

What happens when a tech giant is accused of copying your voice? Podcast host David Greene is suing Google, claiming his voice was used to create an AI clone inside NotebookLM without his permission and raising serious questions about how far AI tools can go when training on public content. That is just one headline in this week's news roundup. We also look at Apple finally leaning into native video on its platform and ask the obvious question: Why now? Is this a response to YouTube and Spotify gaining ground, or a long-overdue shift in strategy? Plus, we touch on SAG-AFTRA and ongoing union conversations around AI. Big tech is making big moves, and tensions between platforms and creators continue to grow. Are we watching the start of a major reset in how voice, video, and ownership are regulated in podcasting?Episode Highlights: [03:56] Newsday metrics and Apple and Spotify top five charts[06:04] Upcoming podcasting events, conferences, and weekly meetup[08:13] Creator money tip on 1099-K traps, tracking income, and tax prep[17:09] Captivate hires Rob Walsh and Elsie Escobar[25:27] SAG-AFTRA vs.Netflix and defining the Pete Davidson show as a podcast[32:47] Concerns about union impact on indie podcasting[38:27] NPR's David Greene sues Google over AI voice likeness[45:06] Apple Podcasts expands native video distribution[49:24] Apple's long-term video strategy and hardware positioningLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingBook A Free Call With Me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcastingApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerPodnews: www.Podnews.netNPR's David Greene Sues Google Over AI Voice Cloning:www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast SAG-Aftra and Netflix Agree on Terms for Pete Davidson Show https://variety.com/2026/digital/news/pete-davidson-show-sag-aftra-podcast-agreement-netflix-1236661709/Apple Goes All In On Video: https://podcasters.apple.com/video-apple-podcasts?src=emailRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Why would Google potentially steal journalist David Greene's voice? And Apple has a special event scheduled for Amrch 4th. What could the tech giant unveil? To discuss this, and other topics is Mashable's tech editor Tim Werth, joining once again for Tech Tuesday.
David Greene, former NPR host, sues Google for allegedly using his voice without consent to develop an AI voice for NotebookLM. Greene claims Google's AI voice feature mimics his distinctive voice and was trained on his recordings. An AI forensic firm supports his claim with a 53-60% confidence level. Google denies the allegations, stating the voice is based on a paid actor. This lawsuit highlights broader concerns about intellectual property rights and ethical considerations in AI development, amid similar legal actions against AI companies like OpenAI.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

He was making $300K a year, still taking calls on vacation, and still missing the moments that mattered most. Then his daughter asked a simple question that exposed the real cost of his career, and everything changed. In this episode, Joey shares the wake-up calls that forced him to rethink what success actually means, how he shifted from trading time for money to thinking like an investor, and the systems and decisions that eventually led to $50K per month in passive income. We break down why high income doesn't equal freedom, the moment he realized he was the only asset in his life, and how designing cash flow around time and optionality changed everything. If you're earning good money but still feel stuck, this conversation will challenge how you think about freedom and what it really takes to build a life you don't need a vacation from.

A standing-room-only crowd filled the room at Gettysburg College as businessman, philanthropist, and historian David Rubenstein took the stage for this year’s Blavatt Lecture, an annual event hosted by the Eisenhower Institute that brings in speakers with distinctive perspectives on American democracy. and Veteran journalist David Greene and Pennon interim President and CEO Tom Baldrige discussed Greene’s new nonprofit, Always Lancaster, which will assume ownership of LNP | LancasterOnline and transition the historic newspaper into an independent nonprofit newsroom. Greene, who moved to Lancaster as a teenager and began his journalism career at McCaskey High School before going on to the Baltimore Sun and NPR, described the effort as “almost like a calling,” outlining a three-part revenue model built on subscriptions, advertising, and philanthropy to sustain local journalism.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Most business owners are trying to grow with the wrong tools. They spend money on ads, chase algorithms, and fight for attention in crowded feeds. What they overlook is the one asset that builds trust faster than anything else. Their voice. In this episode, Shawn Anthony explains why podcasting is no longer optional for business owners who want authority, leverage, and long term growth. A podcast is not about downloads or vanity metrics. It is about becoming known, being trusted, and creating opportunities that do not come from cold outreach. Shawn went from corporate brand manager to turning his own podcast into a six figure side hustle. From there, he built a media business that helps founders and CEOs use podcast tours to amplify their voice, build real relationships, and open doors to partnerships, clients, capital and deal flow. We break down why podcasting accelerates credibility even if you have no audience, how one conversation leads to the next right connection, and why owning your platform protects you from changing algorithms and rented attention. If you are a business owner struggling to stand out or explain why someone should choose you, this episode makes the case for why starting a podcast should be a non negotiable.

In this episode, we sit down with two operators who feel like our West Coast twins. Same mindset. Same approach. Same belief that sharing the process matters just as much as the outcome. What began in an apartment bedroom grew into a highly successful real estate business by documenting the journey in real time, staying transparent through both the wins and the mistakes, and allowing relationships to compound over years. We talk about how building in public created trust before scale, why podcasting and content became a force multiplier for their network and deal flow, and how visibility turned into a real competitive advantage in a crowded industry. This conversation is not about hype. It is about consistency, credibility, and doing the work while people are watching. If you are building a business or growing a portfolio and wondering whether to share your journey before it feels ready, this episode will change how you think about visibility, leverage, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

Most people start small because they are scared to think big. Ben Reinberg did the opposite.In his early twenties, with no family money and no track record, Ben syndicated a 95000 square foot industrial building. He raised millions by shaking hands, being transparent, and knowing his numbers cold. That first deal did not just make money. It rewired how he thought about risk, confidence, and wealth. Today, Ben has built and operated over 12 million square feet of commercial real estate. His portfolio spans industrial, office, retail, medical, and veterinary assets across the country. He is one of the leaders in medical office investing and has delivered decades of consistent results for investors. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of how Ben raised capital before the internet, why hard assets outperform chaos, and how controlling your emotions at the table is the real unfair advantage. We also break down medical office investing, why funds can beat single deals for diversification, and how Ben is using AI to stay ahead while most operators are still catching up. This is a masterclass in thinking bigger, staying calm, and playing the long game.

The Spiel looks at the latest Epstein document dump and why each release manages to embarrass powerful people while resolving almost nothing. With millions of files still unreleased, disclosure itself becomes a spectacle that displaces accountability. Then, David Greene joins to talk about an act that may be either civic heroism or mild insanity: helping turn Lancaster's 230-year-old newspaper into a nonprofit newsroom built for a digital future. Plus, the arrest of Jill Biden's former husband and a mini history lesson on the semi-legendary the Delaware bar he once owned.

David Greene joins us to talk about his new podcast, David Greene Is Obsessed, where opera singers map public restrooms, pizza-tour guys chase the perfect slice, and even David Arquette turns Bozo the Clown into an intellectual-property saga. We get into why an obsession can unlock a different kind of interview, plus Greene's own confessions, from the Hay-Adams bathroom workaround to sports fandom. Plus: the Mississippi miracle, and what China's van-based math prodigies say about how serious nations approach the future. And in the Spiel, life expectancy hits 79 in 2024, why that stat misleads even when it's true, and why good news gets swamped by the bad stuff.

Most investors think laundromats are boring and outdated. The truth is, when they're run correctly, they can produce serious cash flow that rivals (and often beats) traditional rental properties. In this episode, Justin and Ashley Eaton break down exactly how a single self-serve laundromat can generate $30,000+ per month in revenue, what the real margins look like, and why this business model has quietly become one of the most overlooked income plays in today's market. We walk through a real case study where a “zombie mat” was purchased for $25,000, fully renovated, modernized with card-based systems and automation, and rebuilt into a high-volume, community-driven business serving hundreds of customers each month. Justin and Ashley explain how they underwrite laundromats with little or no financials, how they finance equipment, what expenses actually matter, and how to evaluate whether a deal can work before you ever sign a contract. This conversation also covers the operational reality most people ignore, including the upfront work required to stabilize a store, the systems that reduce long-term management, and how laundromats scale differently than real estate while still benefiting from many of the same tax and leverage advantages. If you're looking for a cash-flow-focused business that doesn't rely on appreciation, interest rate compression, or tenant turnover, this episode will open your eyes to a very different way to build income.

Real estate isn't dead. Most investors are just playing the wrong game. In this episode, Joe Moffett breaks down how the co-living strategy can turn a single-family property into a high-cash-flow asset that rivals multifamily returns, even in today's market. We walk through a real example where a five-bedroom, two-bath house was converted into an eight-bedroom, three-bath property generating $2,500 to $3,500+ per month in cash flow. Joe explains the mechanics behind the strategy, including how to identify the right properties, where this model works best, layout considerations, renovation decisions, and DSCR lending nuances that most investors overlook. We also discuss why chasing $100 per door no longer makes sense, how systems and processes eliminate the management headaches people assume come with this model, and how one well-structured property can outperform an entire traditional rental portfolio. Beyond the numbers, this conversation dives into the mindset required to execute in a tougher market, the power of community and coaching to accelerate results, and why cash flow matters more than door count when building long-term wealth. If you've been told deals are gone or real estate is too hard in 2025, this episode will show you a different way to play the game.

It's been 18 months since Cory walked away from his W2 and bet on himself full time. In this episode, we pull back the curtain and give an honest check-in on what actually happens after you make that leap. Not the highlight reel. Not the Instagram version. The real story: freedom, pressure, uncertainty, confidence, doubt, and everything in between. We talk through why no one ever hands you permission to leave your job, why waiting until your business replaces your salary keeps most people stuck, and what it really feels like to live without predictable paychecks or built-in structure. Cory shares how income dipped before it started to stabilize, how months of zero dollars tested his mindset, and why learning to plant seeds six months ahead became non-negotiable. We also break down the hidden costs of entrepreneurship, from investing in ads and people to managing cash flow when bills stay fixed but revenue doesn't. This conversation also dives into how our business has evolved over the past year and a half, the different income silos we're building, why small but mighty real estate portfolios outperform door-count chasing, and how we're thinking about active income alongside long-term wealth. If you're considering leaving your W2, already made the jump, or feel stuck waiting for the “perfect time,” this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and a much more realistic framework for what the path actually looks like.

In this episode, we walk you through the real story behind selling one of our earliest rental properties, a deal we once thought we'd hold forever, and how close it came to completely unraveling at the finish line. We break down how a roughly $20,000 investment each turned into nearly $90,000 each in just over four years, why we ultimately chose to sell a cash flowing property instead of holding it long term, and what this decision taught us about portfolio restructuring, liquidity, and the velocity of money. We also unpack the exact chain of events that almost killed the deal, including FHA financing hurdles, inspections, township certificates of occupancy, and the last minute fixes that had to happen to get this transaction across the finish line. This episode is part case study, part cautionary tale, and part reminder that real estate is a relationship game, not just a spreadsheet. We share how the right agent, lender, and contractor quite literally saved this deal, why being resourceful and calm under pressure matters more than most people realize, and how moments like this shape the next stage of your investing journey. If you're buying your first rental, scaling your portfolio, or wondering when it actually makes sense to sell, this conversation will change how you think about the game and what it really takes to win long term.

Most people think development is only for the big dogs with deep pockets. It is not. In this episode, we sit down with Dustin Baldwin to break down the Build to Rent blueprint and how everyday investors can manufacture equity instead of waiting for appreciation. Dustin walks through his development take on the BRRRR method (build, rent, refinance, repeat) and explains how he takes a simple infill lot and turns it into a cash flowing asset that can pay you back and keep paying you. We talk through how the numbers actually work, why new construction can be a smarter rental play in today's market, and how building the asset from the ground up changes your risk, your insurance, and your long term upside. We also get into how Dustin thinks about exit options, why having multiple ways to win matters, and what has changed in this market now that land prices and rates are higher. If you have ever wanted to scale rentals but felt boxed in by tight deals, high maintenance, or thin margins, this conversation will show you a different path.This is the episode for anyone who wants to stop hunting for perfect deals and start building their own.

What happens when you stop trying to do everything yourself, and instead find the right partner? In this episode, we sit down with Jake Culleny and Rob Fink, two real estate investors who met at a networking event and turned a simple conversation into a powerhouse partnership. Jake got his start in property management before becoming a real estate agent in New Jersey. Rob was already deep in the world of house flipping. Together, they realized they filled each other's gaps - and Community Developers was born. Since teaming up, they've completed 50+ flips, 10+ new builds, and built a thriving investing and development business across South Jersey - with 10+ deals in their very first year alone. This conversation breaks down the real power of networking, how to identify the role you should play in a partnership, and why putting yourself in the right rooms can completely change the trajectory of your business. If you're looking to scale faster, stop doing it alone, and build something bigger than yourself - turn up the volume on this one.

If you've ever felt torn between being fully present and fully committed, this episode is for you. When you're building something meaningful, the idea of work life balance sounds nice, but it rarely reflects reality. The business doesn't shut off. The responsibilities don't pause. And trying to perfectly separate the two often creates more tension than peace. In this episode, we talk about why integration matters more than balance. Why entrepreneurs don't need a clean line between work and life, but a better way to weave the people they care about into the journey. We share how communication, expectations, and alignment have played a bigger role than any schedule or system ever could. We get honest about what it looks like to build while people are depending on you. How resentment builds when the vision isn't shared. Why different seasons demand different levels of focus. And how being present isn't about doing less, but about being intentional with what you're doing and why. This conversation is for anyone trying to grow without losing themselves or the people they're building for. Not perfect answers. Just real perspective from the middle of it.

There's a fine line between a voracious hobby and an out-and-out obsession. David Greene, journalist, author and former host of NPR's Morning Edition, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his dive into people's personal obsessions, what drives us to latch on and grow certain fascinations and why so often these have nothing to do with the ways we make a living.

The fastest way to kill momentum in business is scaling before you are ready. We learned that the hard way. For a long time, we thought growth meant doing more. Hiring faster. Adding systems. Spending money to buy speed. What we didn't realize was that piling more on top of a shaky foundation doesn't create momentum. It quietly bleeds it. This episode is a candid look back at what the past year actually taught us. Not the highlight reel, but the moments where things felt like they were moving forward until the numbers told a different story. We talk about where we scaled too early, the investments that didn't pay off, and how chasing growth almost cost us focus, profit, and clarity. We also break down what changed everything. Slowing down. Cutting complexity. Doubling down on what was already working instead of chasing the next shiny tactic. The real unlock wasn't more effort. It was better decisions. You'll hear how we're thinking about money, time, and energy heading into 2026, the filters we're using before making new investments, and how simplifying the business has created more leverage than any new system ever did. If you're building a business, investing in real estate, or trying to scale anything while juggling real life, this episode will help you spot where momentum leaks actually come from and how to fix them before they get expensive.

Most investors assume the only way to buy rental properties is through a traditional bank. Perfect W2 income. Clean tax returns. Endless paperwork. For anyone who is self employed, owns a business, or already investing, that system is broken. And it stops people from ever getting started. In this episode, Cory sits down with Jonathan Yoo and Dustin Rosenberg, co founders of Convoy Home Loans, to break down how everyday investors are buying and scaling rental properties without relying on traditional banks. They explain the lending tools most people never hear about, including DSCR loans and non bank financing options that focus on the property's income instead of your personal tax returns. We walk through how these loans actually work in plain English, who they are best for, and when they make sense for beginners versus experienced investors. Jonathan and Dustin also share what they are seeing across markets nationwide, why waiting for perfect interest rates can cost you years of progress, and how investors are using today's quieter market to buy smarter while others sit on the sidelines. This conversation also dives into partnership, building a business alongside investing, and why understanding financing early gives you a massive advantage long term. If you are trying to buy your first rental, scale past a few properties, or feel stuck because banks keep saying no, this episode will show you a simpler path forward and help you rethink what is actually possible.This is not about gaming the system. It is about learning how the system really works so you can use it with confidence.

Freedom does not come from one big win. It comes from knowing your bills are paid whether you show up or not. Brian Tran learned that lesson early. Raised in an immigrant family that came to this country with nothing, he watched his parents work nonstop just to survive. Hard work was never the issue. Stability was. That experience shaped how Brian thought about money, risk, and what real security actually means. Instead of chasing fast wins, Brian focused on building cash flowing rental properties first. Not to get rich overnight, but to create breathing room. Monthly income that showed up consistently became the foundation that allowed him to take bigger swings later without putting his family or future at risk. In this episode, Brian breaks down how rental properties became the engine behind everything he built. From flipping homes to scaling multiple businesses, those steady checks gave him confidence, leverage, and optionality most people never experience. When things worked, he scaled. When things did not, his life did not collapse. We also unpack how he invested out of state from high cost markets, why cash flow matters more than hype, and how stable income completely changes how you approach risk, growth, and opportunity. This episode is not about shortcuts. It is about building a base so strong that you can bet on yourself without fear. If you want wealth that supports your life instead of controlling it, this conversation will change how you think about money and real estate. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
What separates people who build lasting wealth from people who just chase the next hot investment? David Greene from BiggerPockets has a clear answer, and it's not what most people want to hear. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG revisit a standout 2023 conversation with David that still resonates today. His story isn't about shortcuts, hacks, or getting lucky. It's about skill building, discipline, and learning to turn everyday work into long-term opportunity. From scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins to building a successful real estate career, David breaks down what actually creates momentum over time and why "passive income" still requires serious intention. This episode showcases the kind of conversation that belongs in the vault. David explains what makes work feel worth it, how to develop skills that compound, and why the unsexy fundamentals matter more than the flashy strategies everyone's talking about. If you're tired of hype and ready for substance, this interview delivers. The show also tackles two critical protection topics. Adam Barowy from UL's Fire Safety Research Institute joins to explain the real (and often overlooked) risks of lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes, scooters, and everyday devices. He shares practical steps every family can take to reduce fire risk without panic or overreaction. Then Joe and OG field a listener question about keeping family property in the family. The discussion explores estate planning tradeoffs, communication challenges, and how to think through shared ownership without creating future conflict. Every segment connects to the same core idea. Building a life that's not only financially strong but resilient, safe, and meaningful. What You'll Walk Away With: • David Greene's framework for building wealth through skill mastery, not investment shortcuts • Why "passive income" is never truly passive and what actually makes work sustainable long term • Practical fire safety guidance for lithium-ion batteries you probably already own in your home • Simple steps to reduce household fire risk based on real research, not fearmongering • Thoughtful estate planning insights for preserving family property across generations • How to think about money not just as growth but as protection and stewardship This Episode Is For You If: • You're tired of wealth-building advice that sounds too good to be true • You want to hear how someone actually built success through discipline and skill development • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house and never thought twice about fire safety • You're thinking about how to pass property or wealth to the next generation without creating conflict • You believe the smartest money moves involve both growing and protecting what you have Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one area of your financial life where you're focused on growth but might need more protection or structure?

For years, Mark Rampolla believed the same thing most driven entrepreneurs believe. Work harder. Scale bigger. Make more money. Then freedom will come. He followed that formula perfectly. Mark founded ZICO Coconut Water, scaled it over nine years, and sold the company to Coca-Cola for over two hundred million dollars. From the outside, it looked like the ultimate win. But instead of feeling free, Mark felt more trapped than ever. Overcommitted. Stressed. Disconnected from his health, his relationships, and the life he thought success was supposed to buy him. That moment forced a realization that reshaped everything. Freedom is not the reward at the end of the journey. It is the foundation that makes real success possible. In this conversation, Mark breaks down how chasing future freedom keeps entrepreneurs stuck in perpetual pressure and why so many high performers feel empty even after “winning.” He shares how redefining freedom changed the way he builds companies, leads teams, invests capital, and lives day to day. You will hear how presence, clarity, and alignment are not soft ideas but practical advantages that lead to better decisions, stronger businesses, and more sustainable growth. Today, as Co Founder and Managing Partner of GroundForce Capital, Mark helps founders scale without burning themselves out and build companies that support their lives instead of consuming them. This episode is a powerful reset for anyone who feels like success keeps moving the finish line. If you are building something big and don't want to lose yourself in the process, this conversation will change how you think about ambition, freedom, and what winning actually looks like.

Foreign policy took center stage in the first year of President Trump's second term, which may be a surprise after his America First focus in 2024. The president sought to ease tensions with adversaries while bringing an end to existing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Trump promised an isolationist shift after finding resolutions for those wars. Instead, the back half of 2025 saw the United States enter a new military campaign in the Caribbean and use geopolitics to project Trump's political values abroad. Also, panelists Mo Elleithee and Sarah Isgur have had long careers in and around politics. But it wasn't always their greatest obsession. Join host David Greene for insight into their perspectives on the changes they've seen over the last several decades -- and what they really love beyond politics.
In this episode, we break down how two friends, a real estate agent and an insurance agent, started a podcast and unintentionally built powerful personal brands that directly impacted their businesses. What began as simple conversations turned into a virtual resume that positioned them as trusted experts long before prospects ever reached out. We explore why podcasting works especially well for relationship driven industries like real estate and insurance, where trust and familiarity matter. The goal of their content was to build name, image, and likeness and create know, like, and trust at scale. By letting people get familiar with them through long form content, their podcast worked around the clock, allowing listeners to connect on their own time without the need for constant in person networking. This conversation breaks down how a podcast helps real estate agents establish authority, stay top of mind, and shorten the sales cycle, while insurance professionals can use content to educate prospects and generate warmer inbound leads. If you are a service based entrepreneur looking to grow through personal branding, this episode shows how podcasting becomes a long term marketing asset that compounds over time, even while you are sleeping.

Most people think wealth is built by picking the right stock, the right deal, or the right time. In reality, wealth is built by understanding the rules of the game before everyone else does. And those rules are changing fast. In this episode, we sit down with Bridger Pennington to break down the new framework for building wealth in a world being reshaped by funds, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. This conversation is about zooming out and seeing what most people miss. How capital actually moves. Why institutions play a different game than individuals. And how everyday investors and entrepreneurs can position themselves on the right side of the biggest financial shift of our lifetime. We unpack how investment funds really work and why they are the preferred vehicle of the ultra-wealthy. Bridger explains how hedge funds, private equity, and real estate funds are far more accessible than people think, and why learning to think like an allocator instead of a lone investor changes everything. We also dive deep into blockchain and crypto beyond the headlines, breaking down real-world use cases, institutional adoption, and why volatility shakes out retail while long-term conviction creates generational upside. This episode also explores how artificial intelligence is accelerating every part of the economy, why multiple technological waves are colliding at once, and what that means for growth, opportunity, and inequality over the next decade. We talk about how to build a portfolio that is resilient through uncertainty, why chasing fast money destroys compounding, and how to approach stocks, crypto, real estate, and alternative investments as one cohesive strategy instead of disconnected bets. This is not about hype or predictions. It is about understanding the systems behind wealth so you can make better decisions with your time, money, and energy. If you want clarity in a noisy world, a higher-level way to think about investing, and a framework that actually holds up as the future unfolds, this episode will stretch how you see money forever.Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
Most people talk about wanting an extraordinary life. However, very few are willing to live extraordinarily different to earn it. That gap is what this episode is about. Austin Zaback built what most people chase for decades before the age of 30. Over $3 billion in real estate sold. Twelve companies founded. Hundreds of employees. A national real estate team spanning multiple states. None of it came from luck. It came from obsession. In this conversation, we unpack what it actually means to be obsessed in your 20s and why that season of life is the greatest window most people waste. Austin shares the sacrifices, intensity, and relentless standards that allowed him to build trust, authority, and momentum while most people his age were still figuring things out. We talk about how he earned credibility as “the young guy” in rooms full of older, more experienced players, why mastery and work ethic still beat shortcuts, and how becoming impossible to ignore in your market changes everything. Austin breaks down why obsession is not about burnout or hype, but about commitment, clarity, and eliminating distractions long enough to build something real. This episode also challenges the idea of balance. We explore the difference between grinding aimlessly and building with intention, how Austin thinks about family, business, and long-term fulfillment, and why efficiency in your 30s is earned through intensity in your 20s. If you are early in your journey, this episode shows you the standard required to separate from the pack. If you are further along, it will force you to ask whether you are still playing at the level your goals demand. This is not motivation. It is a reality check. We hope you enjoy it!

This may be the most important episode we have released all year. If you care about where your money, career, and freedom are headed over the next 10 years, this episode will fundamentally shift how you think. We sit down with Robert Croak to map out what the road to 2035 actually looks like and how everyday investors can position themselves to win while most people fall behind. This conversation is about seeing around corners. We break down where the world is going before it becomes obvious, from AI and energy to Bitcoin, tokenization, real estate, and the silent wealth transfer already underway. Robert explains why thinking in headlines keeps people broke and why the biggest wins come from simple systems, long-term conviction, and disciplined diversification. We talk about how to build a portfolio that survives volatility, why most investors sabotage compounding by chasing fast money, and how to approach Bitcoin, stocks, crypto, and real estate as a cohesive strategy instead of disconnected bets. We also explore how access to investing is changing, why opportunity is becoming more democratized, and what that means for people who are willing to learn and act early. This episode is not about predictions or hype. It is about building a framework that works through uncertainty and puts you in position for the next decade of growth. If you want clarity, confidence, and a blueprint for navigating what comes next, this is one you do not want to miss. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
Most investors start with a single-family home or a duplex. Jonathan Mueller started with an eight-unit roadside motel he bought for $250K. In this episode, he breaks down how that unexpected detour became the first domino in a journey that led to a 23-unit motel, a 108-site RV park on 70 acres, and a totally different vision for his family's future. Jonathan opens up about overpaying for deals, moving his family across multiple states, living in an RV without running water, and going all-in on projects most people would be too afraid to touch. He shares how medium-term stays outperformed long-term rentals, why RV parks offer endless income streams, and how sweat equity, seller financing, and creative problem-solving helped him scale despite setbacks. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with lessons most people only learn the hard way. If you've ever felt stuck at the starting line, scared to make the wrong move, or unsure if you're “ready,” Jonathan's story is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something big. You just need to start and let the journey evolve. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Your biggest wealth leak is not your spending, your income, or even your investments. It is the way your debt is structured, and nobody ever taught you how to fix it. In this episode, we sit down with Josh Mettle to break down why every entrepreneur, investor, and small business owner needs a liability advisor. Just like you have asset advisors to grow your wealth, you need someone who helps you optimize the debt side of your financial picture so you can scale faster, protect your cash flow, and create long term stability. Josh reveals why today's lending landscape is built for chaos, how interest rate cycles silently shape your net worth, why inflation destroys badly structured loans, and why most people are playing defense when they could be playing offense. We also walk through real examples of how business owners, W2 earners, and real estate investors can use HELOCs, DSCR loans, bridge loans, and non traditional financing to unlock opportunities that traditional lenders overlook. If you are serious about building wealth, this conversation will change the way you think about debt forever.

Everyone loves “free money” until they realize what it actually costs them. In this episode, we break down the silent wealth divide happening in real time and why the next decade will massively reward owners, investors, and creators while leaving everyone else behind. Headlines about new $2,000 stimulus checks and the introduction of 50-year mortgages make it feel like help is on the way, but moves like these quietly inflate the price of everything. They make housing more expensive, savings less valuable, and the wealth gap wider. We talk about how stimulus and easy credit made people feel richer in the moment but slowly eroded their purchasing power. The result is a growing chasm between people who own assets and people who only have income. We unpack why inflation punishes savers, why relying on a paycheck will never beat the speed of rising prices, and how the people who get ahead are the ones who understand leverage, equity, and asymmetric opportunity. Ownership isn't just a financial strategy. It is a survival strategy. We also dive into the mindset shift required to avoid becoming a casualty of the system and instead position yourself on the right side of it. If you feel like you're working harder but not getting ahead, or like the world is getting more expensive while your dollars buy less each year, this episode gives you the clarity you've been missing. The rules have changed. It is time to learn the game. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
Have you ever wondered why some people can walk away from a comfortable career and bet everything on themselves? In this episode, Cory and Ryan sit down with former Rutgers football player and Wall Street trader turned real estate entrepreneur, Peter Tverdov, to unpack how an athlete mindset can completely change the way you approach money, work, and risk. Pete shares how growing up obsessed with football, grinding through division one practices, and then entering a rigid corporate environment showed him he was never wired for a safe nine to five. He walks through the moment he realized he would rather be unemployed than spend another year ignoring his potential, and how he used that same obsessive energy to quietly build a management and construction company that now oversees around one hundred million dollars of real estate in New Jersey. You will hear how property management became his real world classroom, why he believes most people are naturally meant to eat what they kill, and how living far below his means gave him the runway to take real swings. Pete also opens up about bringing his younger brother into the business, building systems so he could step out of day to day headaches, and designing a life where he can take vacations, drop his kids at school, and still play the long game in business. If you are an ex athlete, a high performer stuck in a corporate role, or someone who feels that unexplained pull toward something bigger, this conversation will show you what it actually looks like to bet on yourself and build a life you own.

Have you been telling yourself that you'll focus on your health once you make it? In this episode, Cory sits down with Las Vegas broker, investor, and host of The Mindful Agent, Michael Coxen, to unpack the dangerous lie high performers tell themselves: “I'll focus on my health once I'm successful.” Michael shares how grinding through long hours, stress, and “I'll do everything myself” thinking led to a life-threatening battle with ulcerative colitis that left him at 115 pounds and forced him to rethink everything he believed about work, wealth, and winning.Michael walks through how he rebuilt his life and business from that rock-bottom moment, shifting from work–life “balance” to true work–life harmony. He breaks down the simple mindfulness habits he uses daily including conscious breathing, journaling, Tai Chi, that allow him to run a real estate brokerage, build a portfolio, and stay healthy at the same time. He also opens up about how he and his wife quietly built over $1.5M in equity by living in, improving, and renting out three homes over 15 years, why he still loves Las Vegas real estate, and how he thinks about seasons of hustle versus seasons of rest. If you've ever thought, “Once I hit X income, then I'll take care of myself,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Health is wealth and if you don't protect it on the way up, you may never get to enjoy what you've built. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
