Brian Tibbs is on a mission to serve people by leveraging his skills and experience in building significant wealth. He is eager to hear your story and walk alongside you in your wealth-building journey. From a young age, it was evident to both Brian and those around him that he was destined to be a businessman. By the age of 26, he had already begun investing in real estate, was an executive in his father's financial services company, and co-owned a small online retail business. However, Brian felt called to a different path. Over the next three years, he married Jill Bramhall, resigned from his father's company, sold his online business, liquidated 60% of his real estate portfolio, and moved—sight unseen—to Guatemala.For the next 16 years, Brian built a team that recruited and trained 380 leaders to plant 96 churches across 11 countries. Together, they raised over $20 million for their cause and constructed more than 150,000 square feet of churches and related facilities. Despite dedicating themselves to ministry, Brian and Jill earned very little money. When calculated against their total working hours, their earnings equated to just $9.20 per hour—less than the legal minimum wage in most states.Even with their limited income, they successfully built a multi-million dollar net worth. They no longer rely on jobs to pay their bills but instead have the financial freedom to choose work on their own terms. Their modest salary forced them to develop a wealth-building philosophy that didn't depend on a high income. It was through this financial constraint that the HACKER Method was discovered and implemented, enabling the Tibbs family to achieve financial independence by Brian's 44th birthday.Although Brian has stepped away from full-time missionary work, his passion for serving others remains strong. He launched The Unexpected Investor with the singular goal of helping people who feel financially constrained transform into wealthy, powerful, and generous investors using the HACKER Method.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Current Economic Perspectives04:46 Investment Strategies in Changing Markets08:39 Brian Tibbs' Journey and Experience12:18 Key Metrics in Short-Term Rentals16:04 Navigating Airbnb's Algorithm and Reviews19:40 Regulatory Landscape for Short-Term Rentals22:41 Navigating the Challenges of Short-Term Rentals25:08 The Value of Specialization in Real Estate26:44 The Growth Potential of Short-Term Rentals27:57 Exit Strategies in Short-Term Rental Investments29:00 The Hacker Method: Building Wealth31:50 Educational Resources for Short-Term Rental Investors34:26 Due Diligence in Passive Investing36:43 Supporting Emerging Entrepreneurs37:41 Investing in Others: A Personal Touch39:02 outro RANDY SMITHConnect with our host, Randy Smith, for more educational content or to discuss investment opportunities in the real estate syndication space at www.impactequity.net, https://www.linkedin.com/in/randallsmith or on Instagram at @randysmithinvestorKeywordseconomy, investing, short-term rentals, Airbnb, market trends, passive income, real estate, Brian Tibbs, The Hacker Method, community building

Highlighting the profound connection between correct nasal breathing, jaw development, and overall health, this episode offers invaluable information for parents aiming for holistic health solutions for their children. With the development of Toothpillow, Dr. Miraglia extends his expertise globally, providing remote dental care that focuses on growth and natural development rather than immediate corrective remedies. Key Takeaways: Early Intervention: Begin addressing dental development as early as age 3 to promote proper jaw growth and prevent long-term orthodontic issues. Avoid Tooth Extraction: Tooth extraction can lead to bone loss and collapse. Focus instead on techniques that preserve natural tooth structure. Nasal Breathing and Oral Health: Proper nasal breathing is vital for physical health; mouth breathing can lead to various health issues in children. Remote Access to Care: Toothpillow.com provides access to remote assessments and care for children, bridging gaps where local resources may be limited. Educational Resources for Parents: Parents are encouraged to research and choose airway-focused dental professionals who support growth-based orthodontics.

Discover expert tips, high-quality traps, and valuable insights that will help you tackle mole problems effectively. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this episode is packed with useful information to enhance your pest control skills. Mastering Mole Trapping with Mole Reaper Traps Join wildlife control consultant Steven Vantassel as he dives into the world of vertebrate pest control, focusing on mole trapping in this episode of the Living the Wildlife podcast. Special guest Anthony Hellbo shares his journey into the field and his extensive experience with mole traps, particularly his own brand, Mole Reaper Traps. Introduction: Diving into Mole Trapping In this episode, Steven Vantassel introduces Anthony Hellbo, a dedicated mole trapper who began his journey around 2008-2009. Anthony's entry into the world of mole trapping started with a simple problem—moles in his yard. Faced with this issue, Anthony turned to research and experimentation, leading him to discover the effectiveness of the Molinator trap. This initial success sparked a deep interest in mole trapping, and he soon found himself helping friends and family with their mole problems. What began as a personal challenge quickly transformed into a budding business. From Hobby to Business: The Early Days Anthony's journey from hobbyist to professional mole trapper was marked by a commitment to learning and improvement. Initially, he offered his services with a no-catch-no-charge policy, a strategy that allowed him to build his skills and reputation without financial pressure. This approach proved successful, and as his expertise grew, he transitioned to charging per mole caught, starting at $40-50 each. Balancing his full-time job as a machinist with his growing mole trapping business, Anthony emphasized the importance of quality traps and continuous learning. His dedication to mastering mole trapping techniques set the foundation for his future success. Launching Mole Reaper Traps This year marked a significant milestone for Anthony as he launched a store dedicated to providing high-quality mole traps and educational resources for both amateurs and professionals. The store, Mole Reaper Traps, offers a range of products designed to meet the needs of trappers at all skill levels. Anthony's goal is to provide not only the best tools but also the knowledge needed to use them effectively. The store features a variety of traps, including those that are not commonly found in large retail chains like Lowe's or Home Depot. Educational Resources and Customer Support One of the key aspects of Mole Reaper Traps is the emphasis on education. Anthony understands that having the right trap is only part of the equation; knowing how to use it effectively is equally important. To this end, he has created numerous tutorial videos available on his website and YouTube channel. These videos offer practical, hands-on advice and demonstrate the proper use of different traps in real-world settings. Anthony's commitment to education ensures that both amateur and professional trappers can benefit from his extensive knowledge and experience. In addition to educational resources, Anthony places a strong emphasis on customer support. He is available to answer questions and provide guidance via text, ensuring that customers can get the help they need to solve their mole problems. This level of support is a testament to Anthony's dedication to his customers and his desire to see them succeed. Catering to a Diverse Client Base Mole Reaper Traps caters to a diverse client base, including both professional trappers and homeowners.
