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.

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. If you're ready to think differently about debt, money, and what freedom really means, this episode is for you.

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.

We speak with David Greene (former co-host of NPR's Morning Edition) about the new documentary film "Louder than Guns," which draws together people with strong disagreements over the issue of guns and gun safety - with music used as a means for finding common ground. The film is in limited theatrical release. The only midwest showing scheduled at this point is at the Wayfarer Highland Park this Wednesday evening at 7:00.

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.

Brian Decker didn't just stumble into the investing world - he earned his way there. Starting in the mortgage industry in 2004, Brian climbed to become one of the Top 10 Loan Officers in the entire country out of more than 500,000, eventually founding his own mortgage bank, Modern Lending, in 2019. But Brian didn't stop there. He took everything he learned about money, leverage, and wealth creation and built a diverse investment portfolio spanning real estate, crypto, and beyond - and now runs one of the top investing communities on Skool.   In this episode, Brian lays out his step-by-step investing plan for the next five years, what the current market is telling him, and why the moves you make right now will define your financial position for the decade ahead.

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.

From Apple News In Conversation: On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flooding tore through Central Texas, killing more than 130 people and destroying communities along the Guadalupe River. Aaron Parsley, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, was there — and though he survived, his family suffered a devastating loss. His harrowing account of what happened when floodwaters overwhelmed their house and ripped them apart won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.

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.

One bad insurance policy can erase months of cash flow before you even realize what happened. In this episode, Cory sits down with Guffy Wright, a national leader in multifamily portfolio insurance with over 18 years of experience protecting real estate investors across the country.   Guffy breaks down exactly what the right insurance policy looks like for rental property owners, the most common and costly mistakes W-2 investors make when they're just getting started, and why having the wrong coverage isn't just risky - it's actively costing you money every single month. We've had our own experience with insurance policies and the right ones are an absolute MUST.   Whether you own one rental or a growing portfolio, this episode will change the way you think about protecting your assets.   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.

Most people wait until they've "made it" to start talking about what they want. Lorenzo Mercado isn't most people.   Lorenzo is a registered nurse turned real estate investor who has done three house flips, two of which didn't go the way he planned, and one that did. Now he's setting his sights on something entirely different: boutique hotel acquisitions. He hasn't bought one yet, but he's telling everyone he will, and that's exactly what makes this episode worth your time.   We talk about the power of getting in the right rooms, why putting your aspirations out loud before you've "earned the right" to say them is actually a strategy, and what it looks like to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of a real estate journey in real time. Lorenzo is already plugged into a hospitality investing community that collectively owns over 40 hotels nationwide and is being coached by one of the top names in the boutique hotel space. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a lane they didn't choose, who wonders if it's too late to pivot, or who thinks they need a perfect track record before they can go after something bigger. You don't.   Lorenzo's story proves that showing up, being honest about where you are, and surrounding yourself with the right people is the whole blueprint.   Follow Lorenzo on Instagram: @lorenzo.mercado_ 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 the thing standing between you and financial freedom wasn't a lack of opportunity - it was the story you were telling yourself?   In this episode, I sat down with Kam Dasani (@ProfitWithKam), a futures and options trader who generates $3–5 million per year through his algorithmic trading platform, built with a team of ex-Goldman Sachs traders. But before the seven-figure income and the system, there was a version of Kam who had to demolish every limiting belief he had about money, markets, and what he was actually capable of.   We get into all of it: how he built a skill set from scratch, how the platform actually works, why most people never get there (hint: it's a mindset problem before it's a strategy problem), and what it really takes to treat trading like a business instead of a gamble.   If you've ever thought options trading was too complex, too risky, or just not for someone like you, this episode will make you rethink that entirely.   Tune in and follow Kam on Instagram: @ProfitWithKam   Get working capital for your business - revenued.com/juice Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

What if retirement was not a finish line at 65, but a number you could hit in your twenties?   In this episode, Cory sits down with Cody Berman, entrepreneur, real estate investor, personal finance educator, and author of "Retire by 30: How to Build Wealth, Gain Freedom, and Live Life on Your Own Terms." The conversation goes well beyond tactics. Cody breaks down what financial independence actually means, how he learned to optimize his life around what he loves instead of what society expects, and why getting your time back is the ultimate asset, not the number itself.   This one hits differently than a typical money episode. Whether you are a W-2 earner grinding toward your first investment or someone who just wants more control over your days, Cody's framework is a reminder that retirement is not an age, it is a number, and that number is more achievable than most people think.   Pick up Cody's book "Retire by 30" wherever books are sold.

You get one of the most credible and compelling voices in the personal finance space today. In this episode, Cory sits down with Rajat Soni, CFA, a former finance professional turned full-time Bitcoin and personal finance educator with over 5.5 million YouTube views and nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. Rajat breaks down exactly why he believes Bitcoin is the hardest asset in the world, why the traditional financial system is quietly failing everyday investors, and what the math of retirement actually looks like when you factor in fiat currency debasement. This is not a hype conversation. Rajat brings the institutional credibility of a CFA alongside a perspective most financial advisors will never give you, and it may completely change the way you think about building long-term wealth. From why he left a decade-long finance career to how Bitcoin fits into a real personal finance strategy, this episode covers the retirement math no one in finance talks about and why everyday W-2 earners may be the biggest beneficiaries of the hardest asset ever created.

When Ryan and I launched Wealth Juice (was called Weekly Juice back then for the OG's) six years ago, we had a why. It made sense at the time. It got us moving. But if we're being honest, it doesn't look anything like what drives us today.   In this solo episode, we're pulling back the curtain on something we don't talk about enough - the evolution of our purpose. What started as a pursuit of financial freedom and passive income has morphed into something deeper, more personal, and in a lot of ways more meaningful than we ever expected when we hit record for the first time.   We get into what originally motivated us to build this brand, the moments that quietly shifted our thinking, and what actually gets us out of bed every morning now. This one isn't about strategy or deals. It's about the real conversation behind the brand - and why we think your why is allowed to change too. You can directly apply this into your business, goals and life in general - hope you enjoy one of our favorite conversations Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

This one is fresh. Michael Hyun literally just quit his software engineering job at Amazon this month, a role paying $300,000 a year, and real estate is what made it possible. Over the last six years, Michael built a $4.5 million portfolio while working full-time in tech, quietly stacking properties and creating enough passive income to make the leap. Now at 29, he's all in. In this episode, Michael breaks down exactly how he did it, the strategy, the mindset, and what most high earners get wrong when they try to turn a paycheck into long-term wealth. If you've ever thought about what it would take to actually walk away from your W-2, this is the episode you need to hear.

A TON people talk about real estate. They actually did it. In this episode, we sit down with Dedric Polite and Krystal Polite, the husband and wife duo behind Polite Properties and stars of the hit show 50/50 Flip. They break down how they went from corporate jobs and zero experience… to building a real estate portfolio of nearly 100 doors, launching multiple businesses, and creating true financial freedom for their family.    We dive into the early days of investing over $25,000 into education before closing a single deal, the moment they finally broke through with their first wholesale checks, and how one deal turned into over six figures and completely changed their trajectory. They also share how they used real estate as a vehicle to fund bigger opportunities including leveraging one property into launching a franchise business and why real estate is just the starting point, not the end goal.    This episode goes beyond strategy. It is about mindset, partnership, and taking action before you feel ready. You will hear how they divided roles as a couple, why “jump and build your wings on the way down” became their philosophy, and how they are building generational wealth with intention so their kids don't just inherit money… they inherit the mindset that created it. If you've been waiting for the “right time” to start… this is your sign that it's already here.   Polite's Free Deal Flow Bundle: https://politewealthportal.com/dealflowbundle?contact_id=0mrrWePS5n5CxH1atXPc Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most people blame their past. He used his to build his future. In this episode, we sit down with Kolaiah "Fuzzy" Jardine, a Hawaii-based real estate investor, developer, and co-founder of the HUI Mastermind who went from federal prison to building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio focused on affordable housing. But this is not a get rich story. It is a change your life and bring everyone with you story. Fuzzy opens up about growing up in Hawaii, falling into the wrong environment, battling addiction, and ultimately using prison as the wake-up call that forced him to rewrite his future. From there, he became obsessed with learning, surrounding himself with the right people, and taking action when most people would have stayed stuck.    We break down how he went from cleaning windows for nine dollars an hour to building over 100 affordable homes, using creative strategies like other people's money to scale, and focusing on ethical investing through what he calls the “Pono Way.” His mission is bigger than himself. He is committed to helping locals stay in Hawaii despite rising costs, showing his community that ownership, investing, and generational wealth are actually possible for them too.   We also dive into his book, Priced Out of Paradise: How to Build Wealth Investing in Real Estate the Pono Way, where he lays out a practical roadmap for investing in Hawaii and breaking into real estate even in one of the most expensive markets in the world. This episode is packed with real strategy, mindset shifts, and a step-by-step look at how he built his business from nothing. If you have ever felt behind, stuck, or like your past defines you, this conversation will challenge that belief and show you what is actually possible.

Most new investors hear "hard money lending" and immediately think it's too expensive, too complicated, or only for seasoned pros. John Robbart is here to change your mind. In this episode, Cory sits down with John, Managing Director at Renovo Financial, to break down what hard money lending actually looks like in the real world and why it may be the most powerful tool you're not using yet.   John shares how he built his lending business, what separates great lenders from transactional ones, and why the true cost of hard money is far more reasonable than most investors assume. Whether you're on your first deal or your fifth, this conversation will reframe the way you think about financing and show you that access to capital is closer than you think. If you've ever let the fear of financing stop you from pulling the trigger on a deal, this episode is exactly what you need to hear.

While everyone's chasing deals in Nashville, Tampa, and Phoenix, two Milwaukee insiders are sitting on one of the most overlooked rental markets in the country. In this episode, Cory sits down with Ty Ash and Nick Harrington, real estate agents and investors behind Horizon Homes, to pull back the curtain on why Milwaukee deserves a serious look from out-of-state investors right now. Ty and Nick share their personal journeys into real estate, what got them started, what they've learned as both agents and active investors, and why they believe the Milwaukee market is criminally underrated. From cash flow potential and entry-level price points to the neighborhoods flying under the radar, they break down exactly what makes this market so compelling for investors looking to build a rental portfolio without the feeding frenzy of the coastal markets. If you've been told you need to invest where properties are expensive and competition is fierce, this episode will challenge everything you think you know. Milwaukee might just be your next move.

What happens when loans fall through, appraisals don't pan out, and the deal you worked months for starts to unravel? For most people, that's where the story ends. For this Wealth Juice Inner Circle member, it's where his real investor journey began. In this episode, we sit down with a Philadelphia-based investor who, after joining our mastermind, went on to acquire a triplex he house hacks and an Airbnb, all within his first year. But the path was anything but smooth. He faced financing setbacks, deals that nearly died on the table, and moments that would've stopped most first-timers cold. Instead, he pushed through, leaned on the community, and closed twice.   If you're in the middle of a deal that feels like it's falling apart, or you're wondering if the mastermind is worth it, this episode is your answer.
