George Stefanou – First-generation Greek-American, Forbes “Best in State” Next Gen Wealth Advisor (2023, 2024), author of Two Comma Wealth, and founder of the financial planning firm Two Comma Wealth. Early Hustle: Grew up working flea markets, managing a coffee stand by 14, learning firsthand about hard work and margins (selling hundreds of cups from a single bulk bag of beans). Family stress on work ethic over formal education (first in his family to finish high school/college). Mindset & Upbringing: Dad: 4th grade education, Greek immigrant roots, championed U.S. for its opportunity. Education wasn't pressured but encouraged as a path out of manual labor — “you can make a lot more money owning the business than swinging the hammer.” Professional Beginnings: Started at CVS (Florida): progressed from cashier to store management, realized the corporate grind wasn't for him. Discovered financial advising, took the risk, and built a book of clients from scratch despite early financial hardship. Career in Financial Planning: Earned numerous certifications (to build trust while young). Stresses need for lifelong learning and combining IQ and EQ for real success with clients. About Two Comma Wealth (the book): Written for both consumers and industry peers. Focuses on actionable strategies for surpassing $1M net worth, but especially on what changes after you cross that threshold: Complexity, emotional swings with market volatility, nuances around distributions, withdrawal rates, taxes, and estate planning. Challenges of first-generation wealth (scarcity mindset, fear of spending, finding balance between living now and preserving legacy). Aims to demystify wealth management for “everyday millionaires.” Certified Financial Planner Career Path: Entry routes: Broker/dealer, fee-only/RIAs, or hybrid. Education/licensing: Can get entry-level securities licenses in months; advanced credentials (CFP, CFA) take years but build a valuable career “moat.” Highly front-loaded: Most start with low/no pay, lots of cold prospecting, high attrition/turnover. Significant success and six/seven figures possible for those that break through. Modern firms now offer more support, salary, and training versus the old eat-what-you-kill model. The Power of Having a Moat: High difficulty of becoming a trusted CFP means fewer competitors once you succeed, and deeper, more meaningful client relationships. Final Takeaways: CFPs and financial planners can have massive, positive multigenerational impact—if they combine technical skill with empathy and true service. The field is very challenging at first but extremely rewarding. Barriers to entry and trust are a signal that the opportunity is real.

This week, Paul continues the deep dive into blues guitar, building on foundation concepts from Episode 245. The focus shifts to soloing over a major blues progression—specifically, what scales to use, how to target chord tones, and the techniques that legendary blues artists like B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan employ in their solos.Key Topics CoveredRecap: Major vs. Minor Blues (12-Bar Blues Structure)Definition and structure of a 12-bar major blues progression using dominant 7 chords (A7, D7, E7).Why the turnaround bar matters, and options for looping or finishing the progression.Foundational Scale for SoloingWhy the A minor pentatonic scale (A, C, D, E, G) works so well, even over major blues progressions.The “bluesy” tension created by overlapping the scale's minor third (C) against the chord's major third (C#).Targeting Chord Tones for More Musical SolosRoot, third, and flat 7th notes of each dominant 7 chord (A7, D7, E7).How to start by simply hitting the root notes as the chords change, or add more complexity by incorporating other chord tones.Examples: bending C to C# for A7, sliding to F# for D7, emphasizing B for E7.Making Your Solos Sound More Interesting: Advanced Scale ChoicesMajor Pentatonic Scale: Adds brightness and connects with more chord tones.Blues Scale: Introduces the flat five (the “devil's note” for added tension).Mixolydian Mode: A sophisticated, more “perfect” match for dominant 7 chords.Blues Soloing Approaches of the LegendsB.B. King: Simple, expressive phrases in the “BB box,” blending major and minor pentatonic. Focuses on bending and vibrato over flashy scale runs.Stevie Ray Vaughan: Aggressive mixing of major and minor pentatonic, with embellishments like hammers, pull-offs, and expressive picking.Eric Clapton: Known for chord tone targeting, major-minor pentatonic blends, and signature licks that follow the progression.Practice TipsStart by jamming over backing tracks with A minor pentatonic.Progress to targeting root notes and other chord tones as the progression changes.Add in extra notes from the major pentatonic, blues scale, or Mixolydian mode as you become comfortable.Don't rush—focus on phrasing, feel, and emotion, not just speed and complexity.Resources & RecommendationsBacking Tracks & Playlists:Academy members: Check the dashboard's backing tracks section for new major and minor blues tracks.

What does it take to scale from a 38-unit syndication to 33,000 units across six states—and still never lose investor capital? Jeff Gleiberman of MG Properties breaks it down. In this episode, Jeff shares the core principles that helped his family-run firm grow into one of the top 50 apartment owners in the U.S. You'll hear how they've weathered multiple market cycles, why they're buying newer assets right now, and how disciplined underwriting, fixed-rate debt, and vertical integration have become their unfair advantages.
