Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with returning guest Dan Zitofsky, an author, entrepreneur, retired law enforcement and military veteran, health advocate, and full-time real estate investor with 36 years of experience in the business. Dan has done it all - fix and flips, buy and hold, single family, multifamily, capital raising - and is now one of the most respected voices in seller financing and self-financed notes, having realized that the best seat in real estate investing is being the bank. Dan shares how he transitioned from house flipping to a passive income model built on self-financed notes and long-term single-family rentals, why he believes most people fail simply because they never take action, and where he sees investors getting seller financing and subject-to deals dangerously wrong right now. He also opens up about his new focus on teaching financial literacy to families, helping them retire early. In this episode we discuss: ✅ Why single-family rental investing is not dead (and how to still make it profitable) ✅ The right way to structure seller-financed notes as an actual business ✅ Subject-to deals and creative financing: where investors are getting it wrong ✅ Lessons from over 4,000 real estate transactions and 36 years in the business ✅ Using AI as a tool without losing your personal brand and relationships + more Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced investor working in residential, commercial, land development, wholesaling, or fix and flip, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons on due diligence, raising private money the right way, and building a real estate business that lasts decades instead of one that burns out in a few years.   Connect with Dan: www.zitofskycapitalmanagement.com/ Dan Zitofsky on Instagram Dan Zitofsky on Facebook Dan Zitofsky on YouTube Dan Zitofsky on LinkedIn   Become a real estate investor with Dan Zitofsky Facebook group --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Podcast@NickNickNick.com Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

What if you could make six, seven, or even eight figures on a piece of land - without ever picking up a hammer? In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Cody Bjugan, founder of VestRight and creator of the LDP (Land with Development Potential) model, to break down the most overlooked niche in real estate investing: land entitlement. Cody built a $900M+ portfolio by controlling raw land, walking it through the city approval process, and exiting to national homebuilders - often doubling his money without spending a dollar of his own on construction. He shares exactly how the LDP model works, how to source off-market land deals, how to negotiate with landowners, and how to win over difficult city councils and NIMBY neighbors during the entitlement process. But before the tactics, Cody gets real about the mindset work behind the money - losing 90% of his net worth in the Great Recession, quitting alcohol, redefining his identity outside of wealth, and learning to lead with faith and humility instead of ego. This episode is part real estate masterclass, part personal development deep-dive for entrepreneurs chasing their next level. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What "LDP" (Land with Development Potential) actually means and why it's called the best-kept secret in real estate ✅ How to control land without owning it, and exit through a double closing with a homebuilder ✅ Why the hardest, most restrictive markets often produce the highest returns ✅ How to navigate city planning, zoning boards, and NIMBY opposition without burning bridges ✅ Why chasing money without purpose leads to emptiness - and what to chase instead   Connect with Cody: www.codybjugan.com Cody Bjugan on Instagram Cody Bjugan on Facebook Cody Bjugan on YouTube Cody Bjugan on LinkedIn Cody Bjugan on Twitter Cody Bjugan on TikTok   Connect with VestRight: www.vestright.com VestRight on Instagram VestRight on Facebook VestRight on YouTube VestRight on LinkedIn VestRight on TikTok   GET YOUR FREE LDP CALCULATOR HERE!   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Podcast@NickNickNick.com Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers  

In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Brandon Mccaghren (aka "B Mac") - double black belt under Eddie Bravo of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and Carlos Machado, head instructor at 10th Planet Decatur, elite grappling commentator for EBI, CJJ, UFC Fight Pass, and co-founder and commissioner of the Professional Grappling Federation (PGF) - for a conversation packed with mindset gold, business wisdom, and Jiu Jitsu philosophy. Brandon opens up about the blunt conversation with his wife that got him on the mats in the first place, the eight years he spent as a youth minister before finding martial arts, and how a "corny little redneck" from Lawrence County, Alabama became one of the most recognizable teachers and voices in grappling. He shares why he refuses to build his identity around any one title, how his background as a musician shaped the way he teaches and improvises on the mat, and why first principles thinking - not memorizing moves - is what actually creates mastery. Brandon also gets into the real story behind PGF, the league he's building with co-founder Keelan, Five Finger Death Punch's Zoltan Bathory, and Gracie family member Heather to become the first true team-and-season sports model Jiu Jitsu has ever had, and why he believes it's the key to finally giving grapplers a sustainable career path. In this episode you'll discover: ✅Why taking feedback without tying it to your identity is the real key to growth ✅The first principles approach to teaching that makes complex moves simple ✅How his background as a musician shaped his creativity and improvisation on the mat ✅The "document don't create" philosophy that built his personal brand ✅Inside the Professional Grappling Federation and the plan to scale to 32 teams This isn't just a story about Jiu Jitsu. It's about mentorship, reinvention, first principles thinking, and building something built to outlast you.   Connect with Brandon: bjj365.club Brandon Mccaghren on Instagram Brandon Mccaghren on Facebook Brandon Mccaghren on YouTube Brandon Mccaghren on LinkedIn Brandon Mccaghren on Twitter Brandon Mccaghren on TikTok Brandon Mccaghren on Threads   Connect with Professional Grappling Federation: pgf.world PGF on Instagram PGF on Facebook PGF on YouTube PGF on LinkedIn PGF on Twitter PGF on TikTok PGF on Threads PGF on Kick   Connect with 10th Planet Decatur: www.decaturbrazilianjiujitsu.com 10th Planet Decatur on Instagram 10th Planet Decatur on Facebook 10th Planet Decatur on Twitter   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Text Nick (516)540-5733 Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

What does it really take to overcome rejection, self-doubt, mental health struggles, and still perform at the highest level? In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Elec Simon - world-renowned percussionist, former STOMP performer, professional event MC, motivational speaker, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor, and entrepreneur - for one of the most emotional and inspiring conversations we've ever recorded. Elec opens up about growing up watching his mother struggle financially, the audition that got him cut from STOMP just days before opening night, the suicidal thoughts he battled during his darkest moments, and the phone call two years later that brought him back for good. He shares how faith, family, and gratitude pulled him through, why he now speaks in schools nationwide on anti-bullying, and how jiu-jitsu became an outlet for his anger and anxiety. Elec also gets candid about the entrepreneurship hustle culture - why "get rich quick" mastermind influencers are misleading people, why there's no shame in working a W-2 while building your dream, and what real mentorship from people like Mark Evans, Bobby Castro, and Lewis Howes actually looks like. In this episode you'll discover: ✅How Elec went from busking in NYC subways to becoming a full-time STOMP performer ✅How he manages anxiety, mental health struggles, and self-doubt while performing for thousands ✅Why authenticity matters more than fame when building your circle of mentors ✅The truth about fake "gurus" and predatory masterminds in the coaching industry ✅How Brazilian Jiu Jitsu became a tool for emotional healing ✅Balancing a 9-5 with a thriving entertainment career This isn't just a story about success. It's about resilience, perseverance, gratitude, faith, discipline, and discovering purpose through life's hardest moments.   Connect with Elec Simon: Elec Simon on Instagram Elec Simon on Facebook Elec Simon on YouTube Elec Simon on LinkedIn Elec Simon on Twitter Elec Simon on TikTok Elec Simon on Threads Elec's ISSA Certified Personal Trainer page   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Text Nick (516)540-5733 Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

What does it really take to get approved for six and seven figures in business credit - and what happens when life throws you off a cliff, literally? In this episode of The A Game Podcast, host Nick Lamagna sits down with Merrill Chandler, founder of Get Fundable Solutions and one of the only non-FICO employees with direct insider access to how FICO's underwriting algorithms actually work. Merrill survived a horrifying motorcycle accident - driving off a 70-foot cliff - and lived to tell how the exact business credit strategies he teaches his clients are what saved his business, his finances, and ultimately his life during recovery. This isn't your typical "improve your credit score" conversation. Merrill breaks down why your credit score is nearly irrelevant to loan approval, what lenders and banks are really looking for in 2026, and the 150 "borrower behaviors" FICO's decisioning platform actually measures before a human ever looks at your file. If you're a real estate investor, entrepreneur, or small business owner trying to unlock unsecured business lines of credit, this episode is a masterclass in business credit strategy, fundability, and financial resilience. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why an 800+ credit score does NOT guarantee loan approval - and what actually does ✅ The 3 stages every lender uses to approve or deny you (and why your score only matters in stage one) ✅ How real-time credit reporting and utilization thresholds secretly affect your approval odds ✅ The "statement close date" trick most borrowers get wrong - even if they pay their balance to zero ✅ Why business credit cards like Capital One Spark can silently hurt your personal credit profile ✅ How to build $100K-$1M+ in unsecured business lines of credit that never touch your personal credit   If you're serious about real estate investing, business funding, credit optimization, entrepreneurship, financial freedom, or scaling your business, this episode delivers practical advice you can immediately put to work.

In this installment of our Defend Nonprofits Defend Democracy Series, you'll get a deep dive into one of the least-discussed but most important democracy issues facing nonprofits and philanthropy today: attacks on ballot initiatives and direct democracy. Elizabeth DiLauro of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation joins Rusty Stahl to discuss how ballot measures have become critical tools for advancing health equity and why efforts to restrict citizen-led initiatives threaten both democracy and the nonprofit sector.Liz shares how RWJF is funding organizations defending ballot access in multiple states, helping other funders understand the legal pathways for engagement, and why funders using their public voice matters as much as their grantmaking right now. The conversation also explores democratic backsliding, gerrymandering, philanthropy's role in this moment, and why protecting democratic participation is foundational to every social justice mission.Download the edited transcript as a .pdfGuest Bio:Elizabeth DiLauro serves as a Senior Policy Officer with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, where she shapes strategy and grantmaking at the state level to advance long-term change in the social policies that impact our nation's health and well-being. Previously, Liz served as the senior director of advocacy at ZERO TO THREE, where she led the organization's advocacy strategy to advance a policy agenda for young children and families. Earlier in her career, Liz worked with the Pew Charitable Trusts where she crafted state campaigns to increase access to children's dental care, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry where she advanced strategies to support children's mental health policy. She has also worked in federal and state advocacy with Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) USA.Liz holds a Master of Public Administration from the Robert F.

Welcome to another episode of The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna, where we dig deep into the mindset, strategies, and stories of today's most successful entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and entertainers. This week, Nick sits down with the high level real estate investor who achieved financial freedom on the highest level Toby Mathis.   He has a foundation as a tax attorney and entrepreneur as well as co-founder of Anderson Advisors and founder of Infinity Investing where he helps people to uncover the proven wealth‑building systems that everyday people can use to achieve financial freedom.  He also recently opened One Kick Gym in Las Vegas with the legendary Nick Blomgren! Toby studied thousands of tax returns and balance sheets from some of the wealthiest individuals in America and found the blueprint to financial freedom where he copied it himself first and proved it WORKS for everybody.  He now shares those strategies with us to teach you how to make enough cash flow to cover your lifestyle through your assets and to preserve wealth through Tax and Asset Protection.   With over 300 doors in real estate, multiple streams of cash flow, and decades of experience in stocks, syndications, and turnkey properties, Toby has built a blueprint for success rooted in data, discipline, and long‑term strategy. In this episode, he shares how you can copy the same patterns used by millionaires to grow wealth steadily and sustainably. But this conversation goes far beyond numbers. Toby's background in martial arts and combat sports has shaped his philosophy on resilience, discipline, and pushing forward when life hits hard. Toby has lived the fighter's mentality both inside and outside the ring. He explains how the lessons learned in combat sports—like staying in the fight when things get tough—translate directly into business, investing, and personal growth.

On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Din Thomas — UFC pioneer, elite coach, commentator, storyteller, comedian, actor, and one of the most unique minds in the fight game by building skills not excuses. Din is the definition of reinvention. From early MMA days and building a life through grit and constant pivots, to coaching world-class athletes (including champions like Amanda Nunes) and becoming a standout voice in combat sports media, Din breaks down what it really takes to succeed when the path isn't clear and he is proof that legends aren't born, they're molded—in backyards and barber shops with VHS tapes and a whole lot of grit. He went from a former barber to cell phone activator to fighter and is a martyr for amateur mma in Florida even getting put in a cage for having people fight in one before it was a sanctioned thing!  He made a bold decision to bet on himself leaving the well known ATT gym in Florida and went solo to follow his own vision for athletes he can mold and has made quite a name for himself as he went from the fighter to the coach and the business man now coaching up and comers and champions. You can find him everywhere including behind the mic on UFC BJJ events, Karate Combat events, behind the desk at UFC events and on Dana White's Looking for a fight with Matt Serra.  Please welcome a true MMA original,  the fighter, the philosopher, the master of reinvention This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and anyone chasing personal growth: ✅  How mental toughness is built (not inherited) — and how to develop grit through "small bites" and patience ✅  Why decision-making is the ultimate success skill in business, investing, and fighting ✅  The real secret behind top performers: saying "yes" fast, then adapting and pivoting when needed ✅  How to handle feedback and criticism without ego — and use it as fuel to grow ✅  Why social media can be a competitive disadvantage — and how Din protects his focus ✅  Communication, performance, and confidence: how Din used skills like acting/improv to level up in life and career ✅  Betting on yourself: leaving comfort, creating space, and letting the next opportunity find you Whether you're building wealth through real estate investing, scaling a business, trying to get your mindset right, or you're a UFC/MMA/Jiu-Jitsu fan who loves the behind-the-scenes journey of champions — this episode delivers.

WWE superstar Daria Berenato aka Sonya Deville joins Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast for a high-performance conversation that hits real estate, entrepreneurship, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and UFC mindset all in one episode. From being a scrappy multi-sport kid from South Jersey to stepping into combat sports when women weren't welcomed on the mats, Daria shares how "being different" became her superpower—and how that same mentality helped her build a life beyond the ring. You'll hear the real story behind her journey from MMA + BJJ to being selected Top 13 out of 11,000 on WWE Tough Enough, and what it takes to perform under pressure, stay disciplined, and keep showing up when motivation disappears. But this isn't just a wrestling interview—Daria gets into the money too. She breaks down her real estate investing journey (rentals, appreciation, short-term rentals, buy/renovate/rent), the lessons she learned the hard way on her first flip, and why so many athletes and entertainers are turning to real estate for financial freedom and "life after the spotlight." The theme is simple: whether you're building a portfolio, training for a fight, or reinventing your brand… it's all the same fundamentals—goals, community, resilience, and the ability to pivot. Catch her featured in multiple new movies out now and of course her fantastic podcast Unwrapped with Daria and Toni If you're into real estate investing, business growth, personal development, UFC/BJJ culture, or WWE wrestling stories, this one is loaded with actionable mindset takeaways—and a reminder that success is often just "failing forward" faster than everyone else. In this episode, you'll learn:      ✅  The mindset Daria used to go from MMA/BJJ to WWE stardom      ✅  How elite performers set small, measurable goals that stack into big wins      ✅  The importance of community (on the mats, in business, and in real estate)      ✅  Real estate lessons from rentals, short-term strategy, and flip gone sideways      ✅  How to handle career reinvention, and burnout without losing momentum      ✅  Why the most successful people don't avoid failure—they recover faster  

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with his guest Jordan Fleming! On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Jordan Samuel Fleming — real estate investor, SaaS founder, and the co-founder of smrtPhone, the all-in-one cloud phone system and power dialer built for real estate investors and high-volume sales teams. Jordan's story is anything but typical: a classically trained musician turned tech strategist who went from building systems in the Podio ecosystem to helping thousands of businesses tighten their follow-up, track every touchpoint, and scale from a couple deals a month to consistent high volume without burning out. You'll hear the real "behind the curtain" conversations that matter to investors right now:   ✅  Why most investors stall at 1–2 deals/month (and what the best operators do differently)   ✅  The fortune-in-the-follow-up framework: lead buckets, consistent touchpoints, and why your CRM is full of "found money"   ✅  How power dialing, call logs, recordings, and team accountability can expose leaks and immediately increase conversions   ✅  Real talk on cold calling, texting, and communication compliance — and why doing the basics well still wins   ✅  Where AI in real estate is going next (and how voice + automation will reshape acquisitions) Jordan also shares insights from his new book "Click. Call. Scale." — a practical playbook for building a phone-first sales system that helps real estate investors close more deals through better conversations, better data, and better process.  He also hosts the hit podcast That Real Estate Tech Guy.
