What does it take to grow from a Craigslist rental to a $100 million real estate portfolio—and still stay true to your values?In this episode, we sit down with Michael Merideth, co-founder and CEO of VPG Enterprises in New Orleans. A former petroleum engineer and minor league baseball player, Michael's journey into real estate began with a bold leap—and a belief that his community deserved better. With fraternity brothers turned co-founders, he bootstrapped VPG from envelope-stuffing side hustle to one of the nation's fastest-growing real estate firms.We explore the mechanics behind that rise: creative financing, vertical integration, and building trust in a historically insular market. Michael shares the power of partnerships, how to spot a real opportunity, and what it means to do deals that make a difference. He also opens up about today's headwinds facing Black-owned businesses, and how he's evolving while staying rooted in mission.Whether you're building your first fourplex or scaling to institutional capital, this episode is a masterclass in grit, vision, and legacy.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyVPG Enterprises: vpgenterprise.comRead: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

We brought together two giants—Mel Robbins and Gary Keller—to unpack what it really means to let go and build a life that matters. Mel shares her “Let Them Theory,” challenging us to stop burning energy trying to control other people's opinions or the market. The real shift? Your happiness is tied to your own actions, not anyone else's.Gary takes that idea and anchors it in the real estate world: you can't control the market, your competition, or what people think of you. You can only control your own time, your lead generation, and your response to challenges. Both Mel and Gary agree—if you want a bigger business and a bigger life, let others do what they're going to do, and focus on what's actually in your control.And when it comes down to it, the answer is always love. Love people as they are, build your business by helping others, and remember: the only thing stopping you is giving your power away. Ready to live with more freedom and clarity?

From protecting Austin's live music scene to launching the University of Texas's largest NIL fund, Nick Shuley's career has always centered on impact—and on people.In this episode, we sit down with Nick to unpack how he found himself at the forefront of the NIL movement, fighting to ensure college athletes weren't just paid, but supported. He shares how he navigated the chaotic rollout of NIL legislation, why he made it a point to sit down with every athlete he worked with, and the financial and emotional lessons these young adults need long before they ever go pro.We also explore the parallels between sudden NIL windfalls and the experience of first-year entrepreneurs, the disproportionate impact on Black athletes, and what Nick wishes every donor and student-athlete would consider before signing a deal. He and Daniel also dive into the origin of the Third and Longhorn podcast—a platform that's helped athletes tell their stories, grow their brands, and in one case, even find a new home for a food truck.Whether you care about sports, social equity, or just love a good underdog story, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and heart.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Nick Shuley on Instagram: @nickshuleyConnect with Nick Shuley on LinkedInBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain with Hudson Santana, a powerhouse developer and agent whose team closes $150 million a year in the heart of Boston. Hudson's journey is anything but typical. Growing up in the Amazon in Brazil, he made his way to Boston, started out bartending, and—thanks to a push from his wife—jumped into real estate. What sets Hudson apart isn't just his volume, but also his knack for seeing potential where others see only what's in front of them.In this episode, Hudson shares how he built his business by becoming a master of spotting hidden value in properties, diving deep into zoning, and leveraging local knowledge to unlock profit others overlook. We get tactical about how you can start thinking like a developer—no deep pockets required—and how becoming the local expert on what's possible (not just what exists) changes the game for your business and your wealth.Hudson breaks down the systems, mindset, and everyday actions that led him from “just getting by” to building generational wealth, and how any agent can follow the same blueprint. If you've ever wondered how to take your real estate business from transactional to transformational, this is the conversation you don't want to miss.Resources:Santana Team – Hudson's companyEmail Hudson at Hudson@SantanaTeam.com for his free Zoom class on developmentOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

We're sitting down with Susan Lombardo, the “mayor” of her Atlanta neighborhood and a master of geographic farming. Starting with postcards, consistency, and an obsession with service, Susan built a $40 million solo business and then turned it into a $65 million team. Susan shares how she transitioned from a 20-year insurance career to earning Rookie of the Year in real estate by quickly building a hyper-local brand and trusted vendor network, becoming the go-to resource for homeowners in her community.We break down her farming playbook: sending big, bold, neighborhood-specific mailers every month (without fail), always leading with value, and following up for years to come.

When Buwa Binitie's father told him, “I didn't raise you to work for someone else,” it wasn't a critique—it was a challenge. In this episode, we hear how that moment became the catalyst for Buwa's transformation from suit-wearing employee to the founder of Dumas Collective, a multi-vertical real estate empire that has developed or financed over 8,000 units nationwide.Buwa takes us through the pivotal moments that defined his entrepreneurial path—from a childhood surrounded by Nigerian business owners to a leap of faith that led him from a tech collapse in San Francisco to lease auditing in D.C. He reveals how mastering real estate finance and unconventional deal structuring made him the go-to expert during the financial downturn—and how he scaled by investing in people before property.More than a story about real estate, this is a story about vision, ownership, and legacy. We explore Buwa's philosophy of empowering his team as CEOs of their own domains, and how he's redefining success through wellness, mentorship, and community impact.

Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is one of the world's leading experts on how resilience makes this happen.A celebrated scholar, international speaker, and author of Calm Within the Storm, Stress Wisely, and the upcoming I Hope So, Robyne joins us to share her five-pillar model of everyday resiliency—a framework grounded in 20 years of research, wrapped in stories you won't forget.We dive into her journey and her breaking points, from teen dropout to tenured professor to full-time resilience coach.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Coby Socher, visionary CEO of Speedy Offers and longtime real estate investor in Cleveland, Ohio, who made that pivot.Coby opens up about his early days hustling for commissions, how imposter syndrome followed his success, and the moment he realized he had the accolades, but not the assets. A single quote—“Real estate agents should be the wealthiest people on the planet, but they're not”—sparked a complete transformation.We walk through how Coby mapped out a 30-year, $350 million net worth plan and reverse-engineered every investment decision to support that vision. He breaks down his “Deal Hierarchy” for turning any property into a profit center—from wholesaling and wholetailing to full flips, rentals, and owner finance models—and explains why his buy box is the most powerful tool in his business.If you're a realtor stuck in the rat race, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about wealth, hustle, and leadership. It's not about working harder. It's about thinking bigger.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyInstagram: @cobysocherLinkedIn: Coby Socher – CEO of Speedy OffersCompany Website: Speedy OffersBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

You can do anything with the right community behind you, and this week's guest can testify to that. Lourdes was going through an extremely tough time - she was put through the ringer in the military, she found herself in $75k of household debt, and her (now ex) husband kicked her out of her own home. She needed to make a change and FAST. So she reached out to her community, including the Courage Driven Latina community, and her community came through for her.    Lourdes Fernando is a passionate advocate for veterans and a Chicago realtor specializing in VA loans. An 11-year Army National Guard veteran, she empowers fellow veterans, particularly women, to achieve financial independence and stability through the strategic use of their VA benefits. Over 90% of her business focuses on assisting veterans in securing homeownership. Beyond real estate, Lourdes actively engages in community initiatives, serving as chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at Keller Williams Realty. Her dedication has earned her recognition, including the REALTOR® Community Service Award, underscoring her commitment to supporting and uplifting the veteran community.   In this week's episode, Lourdes shares her story of building wealth and community after her military service. She was able to find herself a new home, invest in property, clear out her debt, and save $40k in just a few years. When her previous community fell through, she joined Courage Driven Latina and dove headfirst into studying the VA benefits that are available to her. Now, she helps other vets take full advantage of their benefits and build generational wealth. Listen to Lourdes's episode to learn how you can leverage your community even in the worst of times.  Follow Lourdes on: Instagram: @lourdes_lu_fernando Website: https://www.jlhomesforyou.com/    Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here.

How do you close 264 buyer transactions in a single year—without a massive team? That's exactly what Kari Wyrsch has done, and in this episode, she's walking us step-by-step through how she made it happen.Kari's not just a rockstar agent—she's a systems thinker, a buyer whisperer, and a deeply intentional business builder. With over 1,445 buyers represented in her career, she's turned what many agents dread—the buy side—into a predictable, scalable, and thriving operation.We sat down with Kari to explore her exact model for running a high-volume buyer business, from how she structures her “ultimate buyer strategy session” to how she built a lean team with laser-focused roles. Along the way, we dive into her transition from commercial real estate to residential, her decision to merge her team with Adam Graddy's, and how she leads with leverage so she can be fully present for her nine-year-old twins.She shares how she prequalifies every lead, leverages ISAs, and keeps a conversion rate so high it'll make your jaw drop. Kari also explains how she challenges the outdated perception that being a buyer's agent is “less than”—and proves how fiduciary-level service on the buy side is a game-changer for any serious business.If you've ever thought working with buyers was chaotic or unsustainable, this episode will flip that script. Kari shows us how it can be systematic, joyful, and wildly profitable.Resources:Order the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Color of Money, we sit down with David Zapata to unpack the misunderstood world of life insurance—and the immense financial potential hiding in whole life policies.  From losing his mother in Colombia to building a financial education company in the U.S., David Zapata has lived the kind of story that redefines how we think about money, legacy, and protection.We explore the difference between term and permanent coverage, why savings (not income) is the real problem for most Americans, and how the wealthy use whole life insurance to build liquidity, fund opportunity, and leave a legacy.David breaks down how whole life insurance offers guaranteed growth, liquidity, and borrowing power—making it a living asset rather than just a safety net. He shares real-life examples, frameworks for savings strategy, and why most Americans are thinking about life insurance all wrong.Whether you're a business owner, investor, or just someone looking to build a strong financial foundation, this episode offers a crash course in rethinking risk, wealth, and what it really means to protect your future.Resources:Learn how to build Tough Money and about the Tough Money EffectLearn more about Factum FoundationsGet in touch with David at factumfinancial.comLearn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
