108R | Brad and Jonathan talk through the various methods of calculating a yearly savings rate and the numbers necessary to do so, and review Monday’s episode about setting up special needs accounts. Jonathan is back from 20 days with family in Zimbabwe, and Brad recaps his Christmas vacation. Brad and his family added 12 board games to their collection. William, from Monday’s episode, set out a road map for people who want or need to safe guard finances for special needs children or other dependents. Key: fund your trust as a part of executing your will to minimize tax liability. Start with a 529 Able, but as you reach $100k, begin to look at the next steps. Comment from Rebecca, that the 529 Able accounts in Nevada have higher fees than she preferred, so she’s funding a traditional 529 Plan and will eventually rotate it into a 529 Able. Every state currently has its own set of 529 Able options. Voicemail from Penny, who has a special needs trust and was on disability for 16 years, but has been back to work for the past 12 years and is now working to help her parents with their healthcare and financial needs. Financial independence is the ability to do the things that bring you joy, whether they bring in money or not. In 2019, ChooseFI is bringing in experts to answer specific, technical questions. William is helping to build the website, and a more user-friendly local group site. Brad is going to Camp FI in Florida soon. How to calculate your savings rate: Three different ways to calculate: Gross total compensation divided by how much you saved or invested. Take-home pay divided by how much you saved or invested. After-tax compensation divided by how much you saved or invested. Brad uses an excel sheet with three tabs: Profit & Loss (P&L), Net Worth, Accounts. In the Accounts tab, Brad records savings in each account at the beginning and end of the year, and totals up monthly expenses (cost of electric in Jan., Feb., Mar., etc.). Does Brad track every one of his credit card expenses? Net worth = add up all your assets and all your liabilities.

Brad catches up with Guinness World Record holding ultra-endurance athlete Tom Seabourne, a professor of Exercise Physiology at Northeast Texas Community College who has pushed the limits of human endurance with numerous finishes in what Outside magazine calls the toughest athletic event in the world: The non-stop solo bicycle Race Across America (RAAM). Tom and Brad reminisce about the old days where Tom was on the cheapest crew in the history of the race, while Brad was part of Johnny G’s most expensive crew in the history of the race. Tom was 103 miles from the finish line at 3,000 miles when he was eliminated on time. Heartbreak, but it got him “addicted” to the event, which he went on to finish several times. Cycling over 300 miles for 22 hours a day is pretty tough, but Tom’s crew follies were epic. Once, his team lost him in the California desert soon after the start. Another time his relay team members bailed in Utah! Tom also set a Guinness World record for the longest stationary bike ride of 185 hours - over 7 days (watching The Office re-runs helped pass the time)! The record performance, notwithstanding the “urine explosion” incident, that you have to hear to believe. As a “horrible carb addict” during his ultramarathon cycling days, Tom actually developed Type 1.5 diabetes (fasting glucose 450!) despite being at 5% body fat. He also developed atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, which are now becoming commonplace maladies among extreme endurance athletes. Learn what’s happening in the mind of an ultra king during these long efforts, which Tom describes as a flow-like experience. Brad welcomes Tom Seabourne who is doing amazing athletic exploits while battling various health conditions. [00:00:16] What is the Race Across America (RAAM)? What was Tom's experience? [00:01:45] How did Tom's plantar fasciitis get cured? [00:08:28] What is entailed in being on the crew for this race? [00:09:45] Never try something without having the training or having sponsors for it! [00:16:26] He had a history of horrible eating. [00:20:53] What about calories in and calories out? [00:23:35] What happened when Tom did the record-setting ride on the Spinner bike? [00:25:01] Tom talks about his atrial fibrillation. [00:31:35] Has Tom changed his approach to training since the heart problems? Is he addicted? [00:35:33] Does Brad think about going back to the triathlon? [00:39:07] Is something special about the sort of meditative experience we have when riding? [00:40:57] What is a Type 1.5 diabetic? How is he handling it? What is the difference between Type 1 and 2? [00:53:27] What is the ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation? Don't wait too long to take care of yourself. [01:01:08] Check out Tom’s book on Amazon called, Glitches Into Gold LINKS: Glitches Into Gold: https://www.amazon.com/Glitches-into-Gold-Live-Champion/dp/0998833967/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1530055780&sr=8-1&keywords=glitches+into+gold Race Across America: http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/ QUOTES: Never try something without having training for it! We are nothing more than the space between our thoughts.
In today’s conversation, you’ll hear from Brad Larsen. Brad is the owner of RentWerx, one of the fastest-growing property management companies in the San Antonio, Texas area. He’s also the host of the Property Management Mastermind podcast, an army veteran, and one of my mentors. He has an abundance mindset and shares all his secrets. Brad will share what he would do if he had $10,000 for his business, sharing ideas involving LeadSimple as well as automated free market estimates. We’ll also talk about the lead funnel that Brad uses, as well as how he follows up when leads come in (as well as the role that LeadSimple plays in Brad’s follow-up process). I hope this conversation will inspire you to keep detailed records! You’ll learn that Brad tracks a whopping number of different lead sources: Google, web leads, owner referrals, agent referrals, all property management, walk-ins, Yelp, BiggerPockets, Facebook, Angie’s List, inside sales team, and others. You’ll also hear how he tracks various aspects of these leads, including paid versus organic. If you think this is overkill, keep in mind that Brad has already added 66 new signed agreements this month so far, so he’s clearly doing something right! Brad will also share his thoughts on things including RentRange, Facebook versus Google ads (and how to stand out in both), how open leads differ from new leads, whether Brad tries to push people toward in-person or phone appointments, tracking your net promoter score, and much more.

Today’s show is sponsored by Marc Cunningham of Grace Property Management. Marc has created some amazing products for property management companies, which we can say firsthand as we’ve implemented his systems here. Visit their website and try out their products! To get a 10% discount on any of Marc’s products, use the promo code “Brad”! We’re also sponsored by LeadSimple and Fourandahalf. Together, they’ve come up with one of the best conferences for property managers, called the PM Grow Summit. This event is laser-focused on growth strategies and brings together some remarkable thought leaders from around the country. I attended last year and was thoroughly impressed all around -- and that was just their first year! The next conference will be in San Diego in 2018, and I’ve already booked my spot. Go to pmgrowsummit.com to learn more, and enter promo code “Brad” to get a $100 discount on your ticket! That description of the upcoming conference is a perfect introduction to today’s two guests, Alex Osenenko and Jordan Muela. Together, they represent the two companies coming together to put on the summit, with Alex coming from Fourandahalf and Jordan coming from Lead Simple. Of course we’ll talk about the summit in depth, with Alex and Jordan going over some of the remarkable speakers who will be attending, talking about the venue, and explaining why the weather alone should be a persuasive reason to attend! Before that, though, we talk about many other topics relevant to anyone in the property management industry. We start off with a discussion of LeadSimple and its value for property managers in terms of efficiency, then cover various recent and upcoming trends within the industry. We address fee maximization and discuss the fact that customers are increasingly happy to do their showings themselves. Tune in for all this and much more with these two influencers in the property management world! Here’s where you can find Alex and Jordan: Alex Osenenko on LinkedIn Alex Osenenko at Fourandahalf Alex Osenenko on Facebook @PMGrowSummit on Twitter Jordan Muela on LinkedIn @ManageMyProperT on Twitter Show Notes [02:56] - Alex gives us a quick intro to who he is and what he does. [05:23] - Brad chimes in to tell a quick story about his first attempts to implement LeadSimple, and his return to it later. [06:02] - Jordan tells us about who he is and what he does, explaining that he’s the CEO of LeadSimple. [06:59] - One of the things that Brad likes about LeadSimple is that it prompts you with a list, allowing his staff to work straight off that list every day. [09:36] - We hear a reminder that the consumer has different criteria than we have as experts in the property management industry. We also get advice on what to do once someone requests the analysis that Brad has just been talking about. [12:41] - Brad explains that the part of his website that talks about free market estimates shows the graphic that people are going to get, which improves his capture rate. [15:30] - We learn about how inbound call tracking and texting can function within the process that Brad, Alex, and Jordan have been talking about. [16:52] - Brad shifts us to different trends, bringing up the topic of fee maximization. [18:07] - Alex has been thinking a lot about fee maximization lately, he reveals, and shares his thoughts and perspective on the topic. [19:49] - How does Brad set his pricing? He answers, and then offers a tip to listeners about using a flat-fee, tiered pricing system instead of percentages. [21:33] - Brad steers Alex and Jordan to talk about the conditioning of customer expectations in terms of not needing to talk to anybody and have privacy.[25:33] - Does Brad know offhand how many states what he’s been describing about co-brokering is relevant for? [26:32] - Alex points out that the one-star reviews that every property manager gets are from tenants who never got a showing. [28:00] - Brad admits that a lot of property managers, including himself sometimes, are very hesitant to implement things. [30:38] - You’re often competing against the status quo, Jordan explains. [32:17] - Brad transitions to talking about PM Grow Summit, offering Alex the opportunity to explain why this is such a valuable event and resource for property managers. [36:07] - We hear about Brad’s personal experience at last year’s PM Grow Summit, in terms of both having a great time and making valuable connections with people he still speaks with today. [37:30] - Alex and Jordan spend a huge amount of time vetting and interviewing potential speakers for the summit. [39:06] - We hear more about the personal development aspect of the summit. [41:46] - The venue for the summit is the US Grant Hotel in sunny San Diego, which should be a pleasant relief in terms of temperature in January! [43:40] - We learn about the impressive caliber of speakers who will be present at the summit, with Alex and Jordan listing a few of the most noteworthy speakers and talking about their qualifications and areas of expertise. [53:13] - Where can listeners learn more about the PM Grow Summit? At pmgrowsummit.com for the upcoming event, or at 2017.pmgrowsummit.com for last year’s event.

Being a huge sports fan, when I learned Brad Schy has been to all major sporting events from the Super Bowl, World Series, and the Masters while also running his own business selling tickets online, I knew I had to get him on the show.
