"No enemy is worse than bad advice."~Sophocles In a culture where anyone can publish anything with no more experience than an internet connection, certain platitudes are taken as gospel. With thousands of "life coaches" posting advice, the same tired advice gets repurposed ad nauseam. In this episode, Frank Cava and Ian Mathews take a contrarian stance on some commonly accepted wisdom.In this episode:· Maybe you shouldn't "follow your passion"· Hard work alone has a ceiling· Translating what a manager really means when they say you should "be patient"· What goes unspoken when someone tells you that "you can be anything you want to be"· Why balance is only a function of your ambition· How to explain a short stint on your resume· If you don't toot your own horn, who will?· No one wants to hear how things were done in your old company
The coach of an NFL football team hired a strength and conditioning coach, and all hell broke loose. Frank Cava and Ian Mathews break down how this questionable decision went horribly wrong and play Monday morning quarterback on what the Jacksonville Jaguars and head coach Urban Meyer could have done differently.
“Leave the gun, take the cannoli.” ~Clemenza It would be fair to assume that Frank Cava and Ian Mathews started a podcast just for episodes like this. While most see The Godfather as a gangster movie, Frank and Ian see a masterclass in business. In true Godfather fashion, they recorded so much content that they needed to break this episode into a three-part trilogy that Francis Ford Coppola would be proud of. In this episode, they discuss key concepts, such as asking for favors, the only thing a manager wants to hear when they delegate something, your star performers might not make great managers, and losing your temper quickly loses its effect when overused. They also touch on taking advantage of downtime in your career – it is okay to “go to the mattresses!” as well as how Frank used an interviewer's ego to win his first VP promotion.
“If you are afraid of confrontation, you are not going to do very well.”—Bill Parcells, Hall of Fame football coachThink of any mentor you've had in your entire life. Whether it was a parent, teacher, coach, or manager, they probably had a special way of getting under your skin. They coached hard, not mean-spirited, but demanding in a way that convinced you to raise your personal standards. Tough coaching gets a bad rap today, but Ian Mathews and Frank Cava make a case for a style that got the most out of us:Also, in this episode:· "You can't be tough on Millennials" and other nonsense myths· You have to earn the right to be tough· The problem with emulating famous coaches· There is a time to be tough and a time to back off· Managers who mask their insecurities with "toughness"· What it means to be "pleased, but not satisfied"· You can be tough and still be likable· Criticize in private, protect in public· You can be tough on any generation· Passive-aggressive is not the same as tough; it's the opposite· How to praise a star in public
Frank Cava runs a vastly profitable and growing real estate business. But when he left a cushy executive job in 2010, he had an old truck, a couple of townhome rentals in Charlottesville, and plenty of free time. In this episode, we explore what Frank might have done differently when starting his business, based on what he knows today. Frank's first advice for startup founders – Find somewhere to go every day and get out of your houseSet up regular business expenses to motivate you to find revenueDon't discount your experiences just because they happened at a large companyHow quickly should you hire employees?How Frank would think differently about finances if starting overYou are not really in business until you can consistently generate and convert leadsWhat the first months feel like when you leave a big company to start your own thing (what really happens)The only type of people you should take advice from when you startWhy it is easier for others to see your problems than seeing them yourself as a startup founderEnjoy the slow moments when you are starting out (you will miss them)Pace is less important than direction when starting a business“Do for a decade what others won't and you will live the rest of your life the way others can't”

Real Estate Investing Profits Master Series with Cory Boatright
My guest today – Frank Cava – is easily one of my favorite people. We met awhile back as part of our mastermind group, and we’ve been swapping secrets ever since. I’m excited to have him on the show today because his particular real estate investment strategy is killing it in three different markets right now: rentals, fix-and-flips, and wholesale. How can one guy do so much? Not only is he one of the smartest guys I know (seriously, listen to him break down the numbers), he’s also one of the best guys to work with and for. [youtube]https://youtu.be/oLqgzowmTjw[/youtube] Frank says he owes his success to the fact that he runs his business like a real business and not like a hobby. He’s got a real office and a real staff - a team of 9 that he’s hired, trained, and still manages, and he talks today about what it’s like to take the time to build a team like that. Firstly, you have to be honest about what you know and what you don’t know. Only then will you be able to find the right people to fill in the gaps of your investment strategy. You’ve also got to know when to give up control so you can put new controls in place. His amazing anecdotes about his team and the way they work together will really get you thinking about how to best hire your staff. [Tweet "I really realized the most important thing in this business is lead generation. - Frank"] On top of his management skills, Frank’s also got a keen and clear real estate investment strategy – he puts out more mailers than anyone else! No one sends more snail mail than this guy, and he’s generating the right leads and getting in touch with the right people who are willing and able to sell their properties. Frank’s consistent presence in the market makes his name more recognizable than anyone else out there, and his amazing flipping team and their unbelievably fair wholesale and rental prices keep his brand and reputation trustworthy and reliable across his niche.
