The Philadelphia Eagles traded AJ Brown to the Patriots yesterday, ending his four-year run with the team. James Seltzer and Eliot Shorr-Parks give their full thoughts on the move, the return Howie Roseman got and Brown's legacy as an all-time Eagles receiver.

In this latest Legacy Podcast - we sit down with Chief of the Patrol, Colonel Joe Williams, and his son, Trooper C.J. (Clancy) Williams. We're highlighting family relationships on the patrol and this one goes all the way to the top. C.J. talks about watching his father serve on the patrol and how that shaped his decision to join as well.  They also talk about what it means to serve side by side. 

Most companies don't lose money because of bad ideas. They lose it in the gaps — the quiet space between marketing, sales, and operations where reports never get compared and insights never get shared. In this episode, Paul Dio sits down with Anam Jawad, founder of TCSC (The C-Suite Consultant), to talk about what she calls "the missing dollar" — the revenue and ideas that disappear when departments work in isolation. The tension she keeps running into: businesses that look healthy on paper but are quietly leaving exponential growth on the table. Anam walks through how she works with founders and executives to integrate data across siloed tools, build a true bird's-eye view of the business, and then translate that view into pricing strategy, customer segmentation, and smarter marketing spend. She shares her process — about a month and a half of studying customer behavior before adjusting pricing or subscriptions — and explains why flexibility, not certainty, is what separates the companies that grow from the ones that stall. The legacy thread running through this conversation is mindset. Anam is clear that no system, dashboard, or consultant can fix a business where employees are punching a clock and leaders aren't open to suggestions from the bottom up. The companies that build something lasting are the ones that let teams meet across departments, surface ideas without executives in the room first, and then trust leadership to take those ideas seriously. It's a quieter kind of leadership — but it's the kind that compounds. For founders, operators, and executives, Anam's takeaway is direct: profit lives in the connections between your departments, not inside any one of them. Audit where your data isn't talking. Be willing to change pricing. Segment your customers before you spend another marketing dollar. And measure profit, not just revenue — because in one of Anam's recent engagements, that shift alone produced a 78% increase in profit.

It's a powerful conversation about family, commitment, and legacy.

Most businesses don't start with a perfect idea they start with a problem that can't be ignored. In this episode, Santiago Galvez, founder of Pet Cultures, shares how a personal challenge saving his dog after a severe health issue turned into a fast-growing international brand. After trying dozens of products that didn't work, Santiago realized something deeper: the market was filled with solutions that sounded good but failed in execution. Leveraging his background with major CPG companies like Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo, he partnered with a chemist to create a better formulation one rooted in effectiveness, not marketing. But what makes this conversation powerful isn't just the product it's the strategy behind the growth. From understanding consumer psychology to expanding internationally, Santiago breaks down how different markets think, buy, and adopt products. For entrepreneurs, this episode highlights a critical truth: the best businesses don't chase trends they solve real problems better than anyone else.

Most people don't lack good intentions they lack the tools to handle conflict. In this episode, Kimberly Best, founder of Best Conflict Solutions, shares a powerful journey from trauma nurse to conflict resolution expert—revealing how life's most intense moments shaped her understanding of human behavior, communication, and legacy. Through personal experiences, including witnessing end-of-life reflections and navigating her own difficult divorce, Kimberly developed a deep belief: your story is your legacy and unresolved conflict becomes part of that story. This conversation explores why people avoid conflict, how binary thinking traps us in false choices, and how learning to navigate differences can transform relationships, families, and businesses. For entrepreneurs and leaders, the takeaway is clear: conflict isn't the problem avoiding it is.

Every founder is great at selling—until they're not. In this episode, Summer Poletti, founder of Rise of Us, breaks down one of the most common (and costly) challenges in business growth: transitioning from founder-led sales to a scalable sales system. Summer shares her unconventional path—from growth-stage operator to coach to consultant—and how her experience across multiple business functions gives her a unique edge in solving revenue problems holistically. This conversation uncovers why most sales hires fail, why founders unknowingly stall their own growth, and how the "messy middle" is actually where real businesses are built. For entrepreneurs, the key takeaway is clear: your business doesn't stall because of effort—it stalls because of structure.   Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction & Episode Context 00:01:40 – Summer's Non-Linear Career Path 00:03:58 – Transitioning Into Consulting 00:04:08 – Early Clients & False Momentum 00:06:52 – Lessons From Early Career Mistakes 00:07:19 – Identifying Ideal Clients 00:09:46 – Favorite Project & Sales System Success 00:11:42 – Hiring Salespeople the Right Way 00:12:29 – Toxic Salespeople & Cultural Impact 00:15:24 – Using Data to Diagnose Sales Problems 00:16:55 – Founder-Led Sales Bottlenecks 00:18:57 – When Founders Should Step Out of Sales 00:19:25 – The Impact of Helping Businesses Scale 00:20:49 – Where to Find Summer & Rise of Us   Episode Resources Dive deeper into how Summer helps founders transition from unpredictable, founder-led sales to scalable revenue systems that actually support growth: https://theriseofus.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

Most entrepreneurs start a business chasing freedom—but many end up recreating the same constraints they were trying to escape. In this episode, Patrick Brown, founder and CEO of Unity Communications, shares a different approach: designing a business around life first, not the other way around. Patrick opens up about leaving the corporate grind to be present for his kids—and the disciplined tradeoffs required to make that decision work. From waking up at 4 AM to restructuring his entire day, this conversation highlights the intentional sacrifices behind building a life-centered business. As Unity Communications scaled, Patrick reveals how global talent, particularly in the Philippines, became a turning point—unlocking both operational efficiency and meaningful opportunity for others. This episode goes beyond business strategy. It's about redefining success, building with purpose, and understanding that legacy isn't just what you build—it's how you show up while building it.

Access to capital remains one of the biggest constraints for small business owners—yet it's often misunderstood. In this episode, Adam Benowitz, founder of Vox Funding, breaks down the real reason traditional banks fail entrepreneurs—and what alternative funding models are doing differently. Adam shares how Vox Funding built a fintech-driven lending platform designed to solve one of the most critical challenges in business: cash flow timing. From subcontractors waiting months to get paid to restaurant owners facing urgent expenses, this conversation reframes how capital should actually work in the real economy. Beyond the mechanics of lending, this episode dives into what it takes to scale a company from a small startup to a multi-city operation and how building the right team becomes the true growth engine. For entrepreneurs, this is a powerful reminder: growth isn't just about revenue, it's about access, timing, and execution.   Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction & Podcast Overview 00:00:55 – Adam Benowitz & Vox Funding Origin Story 00:01:21 – From Wall Street to Small Business Lending 00:02:57 – Why Construction & Subcontractors Are Underserved 00:05:09 – The Opportunity in Small Loan Markets 00:05:52 – How Vox Underwrites Deals Differently 00:07:30 – Scaling From 5 Employees to 100 00:09:36 – Early Hiring & Team Evolution 00:10:38 – Real Business Impact Story (Driving School Growth) 00:12:04 – Life Before Vox Funding vs Today 00:13:30 – Working With Real Economy Entrepreneurs 00:14:17 – Legacy & Long-Term Impact 00:15:35 – How to Connect With Vox Funding Episode Resources Explore how Adam and Vox Funding are redefining access to capital for small businesses—and how faster funding can unlock growth when timing matters most: https://voxfunding.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

What if the business you built actually gave you your life back instead of taking it? In this episode, Paul sits down with Robin Agricola, Founder and CEO of Birdhouse Marketing, who has redefined what it means to build a modern business. Running her company remotely from a sailboat, Robin shares how she intentionally designed both her business model and lifestyle to work together — not compete. What started as a response to a life-altering health event became a complete rethinking of how work should function. Instead of accepting long commutes and rigid schedules, Robin built a fully remote marketing agency long before it became mainstream and scaled it into a thriving, multi-person team. This episode dives deep into the evolution of marketing itself — from predictable funnels to fragmented, multi-touchpoint ecosystems and why businesses must now focus on brand, presence, and consistency across channels. But at its core, this conversation is about something bigger: building a life-first business. Robin shares how she created a company that not only supports her lifestyle, but also empowers her team to live fully proving that success isn't just about revenue, but about freedom, fulfillment, and intentional design. For entrepreneurs, this episode is a blueprint for aligning business growth with life quality — not sacrificing one for the other.   Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:13 – Building a business from a sailboat 00:02:17 – The health event that changed everything 00:05:23 – How marketing has evolved over the years 00:07:30 – The breakdown of traditional funnels 00:09:01 – Multi-channel strategy and brand importance 00:10:21 – Customizing marketing across different markets 00:10:31 – Identifying ideal clients 00:11:49 – Long-term vs short-term marketing expectations 00:13:04 – Building the business over time 00:15:51 – Creating a lifestyle-first company culture 00:18:03 – The moment it all felt worth it 00:19:47 – Where to find Birdhouse Marketing Episode Resources Explore how Robin Agricola builds scalable marketing systems while designing a business that supports freedom, flexibility, and long-term growth: https://birdhousemarketing.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

Hiring the right people can either slow your business down or completely change the trajectory of your growth. In this episode, I sat down with Nick Guerrero and Angelica Cemor, the founders of To Elevate, to break down how virtual assistants actually work, the biggest myths that hold business owners back, and how you can hire A+ talent for around $2K/month instead of overpaying for roles that don't drive revenue. We talked about how to audit your time, what tasks you should be delegating immediately, how to properly train and manage remote talent, and the exact mistakes most entrepreneurs make when hiring a VA that cause it to fail. //CONNECT WITH NICK & ANGIE Website: toelevate.com Phone: (434) 373-0970 Instagram: @toelevate.co YouTube:  @toelevate  If you're trying to scale your business, free up your time, and focus on the highest dollar-producing activities, this is a conversation you need to hear.

In Episode 254, Paul sits down with Roberta Perry, President of Scrubs Body Skincare Products, to talk about what it means to build a brand through heart, creativity, and community. What began as an "accidental entrepreneur" story mixing product in jars at home and selling at local fairs evolved into a thriving skincare business rooted in experience, personalization, and care. Roberta shares how she pivoted away from wholesale when she realized the true power of her brand wasn't just the product it was the connection. Through in-store experiences, custom scents, one-on-one relationships, and a space that feels more like a gathering place than a shop, Scrubs Body became something much bigger than skincare. This episode is also a deeply human conversation about grief, resilience, family, and legacy. From losing her sister and business partner to continuing the brand with love and intention, Roberta's story is a reminder that sometimes the strongest companies aren't the biggest they're the most meaningful. For entrepreneurs, this episode is a masterclass in knowing what kind of growth you actually want.

Is this the biggest opportunity in multifamily real estate in the last 15 years? In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Rod Khleif to break down the current market shift, why many investors are struggling, and why experienced operators are getting aggressive right now. There's a lot of fear in the real estate market right now. Interest rates are up. Deals are struggling. And many operators that bought in 2021–2023 are feeling serious pressure. But markets like this create opportunity. In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with multifamily investor, mentor, and host of the Lifetime Cashflow Through Real Estate podcast, Rod Khleif. Rod has been through multiple real estate cycles, and we talk about why this moment could be one of the biggest opportunities in multifamily in the last 15 years. If you're an investor trying to understand where the market is headed — or wondering whether now is the right time to buy — this conversation will give you perspective from someone who has navigated multiple cycles. The investors who win long term aren't the ones who chase hype. They're the ones who understand cycles and know when to act.

What if artificial intelligence could actually make us more human at work? In Episode 253, Paul sits down with John Betancourt, Founder and CEO of Humantelligence, to explore how personalized AI coaching is reshaping leadership, hiring, collaboration, and workplace engagement. John's career spans global corporate leadership, executive search for private equity firms, and multiple startups. Through decades of observing culture fit, leadership failures, and executive misalignment, he uncovered a powerful insight: skills are commodities but psychology, culture fit, and behavior determine long-term success.  Humantelligence was  born from that realization. By combining psychometrics with AI, John is helping organizations scale leadership development and team effectiveness in ways that were previously only available to top executives. But this conversation goes deeper than business. It touches on resilience, exile, identity, spirituality, fatherhood, and what legacy truly means. This episode challenges entrepreneurs to think beyond revenue and ask a bigger question: How do we build companies that develop people, not just profits?

Orthopedic surgeon turned real estate investor Tyson Cobb joins me on the Legacy Podcast to break down the framework behind his book Wealth by Design and the BONES Method, a step-by-step approach high-income professionals can use to build wealth through real estate and alternative investments. Tyson built an incredibly successful career in orthopedic surgery but eventually realized that the traditional financial advice many professionals follow can lead to what he calls the "golden handcuffs"—high income, high taxes, and very little freedom. In this episode, Tyson and I talk about the mindset shifts that helped him transition into real estate investing, how networking and masterminds accelerate growth, why taking action is one of the most important steps for building real wealth, and how serving others often leads to even bigger opportunities. Tyson also shares his journey from working full-time as a surgeon to raising capital for real estate deals and building a scalable investment business. If you're a high-income professional, real estate investor, or entrepreneur looking for a framework to grow your wealth and create more freedom, this conversation will give you a lot to think about.

What if the business you're building is quietly costing you the life you actually want? In Episode 252, Paul chats with Jonathan Chen, Chief Catalyst of Blue Tide Catalyst, six-time entrepreneur, and executive coach focused on helping founders build exceptional companies for exceptional lives. Jonathan shares the hard truth many entrepreneurs don't confront: revenue is not value. Eighty-five percent of businesses that go to market never sell, and most founders have 80% of their net worth trapped inside their companies. Without structure, clarity, and alignment, many business owners reach the finish line exhausted and empty-handed. Through powerful analogies from youth soccer chaos to professional teams, and a deeply moving story from Honduras Jonathan unpacks what it really means to build a company that scales without sacrificing family, purpose, or personal fulfillment. This episode challenges entrepreneurs to redefine success not just as financial growth, but as impact, alignment, and legacy.

How do you close 70 real estate deals a year while living 3,000 miles away from your market? In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Brad Bone to break down remote operations, systemized deal flow, and how AI follow-up is increasing closings. Most investors think deals "come when they come." That's the wrong way to think about it. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Brad Bone — a real estate investor doing 70+ transactions a year in Jacksonville, Florida… while living in California. We break down: • How he built systems to operate 3,000 miles away • Why tracking daily lead counts changed everything • The shift from "hoping deals close" to controlling revenue • How shortening your revenue cycle increases stability • The real difference between flipping and wholesaling • How AI follow-up is adding 2–3 extra deals per month If you're serious about scaling — whether that's wholesaling, flipping, multifamily, or commercial — this episode is about becoming an operator instead of a deal chaser. Control the controllables. Track the numbers. Shorten the cycle. Build systems that don't depend on you. Brad Bone Website: https://riverxi.com Email: brad@riverxi.com

Why do some law firms scale effortlessly while others stay stuck even when they're getting the same advice? In Episode 251, Paul sits down with Brooke Lively, founder of Scaling Law and a fractional CFO turned EOS Implementer exclusively for law firms. Brooke shares how her data-driven analysis uncovered a surprising pattern: performance differences weren't about intelligence, strategy, or effort they were about execution. That discovery led her deep into the Entrepreneurs Operating System (EOS) and ultimately into building a national community helping law firms implement structure, delegation, and predictive metrics to scale sustainably. This conversation dives into delegation, decision-making paralysis, predictive data, and the emotional difficulty of "letting go of the vine." For law firm owners and entrepreneurs alike, this episode is a masterclass in systems thinking, leadership maturity, and building a business that can grow beyond the founder.   Timestamps 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:19 – What Is Scaling Law 00:02:00 – The Three Performance Buckets 00:03:24 – Discovering EOS as the Differentiator 00:07:33 – Letting Go of the Vine 00:11:06 – Killing Off the Hero Complex 00:12:20 – Bad Habits That Keep Firms Stuck 00:15:43 – Rewiring the Expert Mindset 00:19:17 – Self-Audit Questions for Law Firm Owners 00:21:14 – Identifying the Right Predictive Data 00:23:20 – Eyeballs to Cash Explained 00:24:33 – Where to Start Episode Resources Discover how Brooke Lively helps law firms implement EOS, eliminate bottlenecks, and build predictable growth systems: https://scalinglaw.com Legacy Podcast: For more information about the Legacy Podcast and its co-hosts, visit https://businesslegacypodcast.com Leave a Review: If you enjoyed the episode, leave a review and rating on your preferred podcast platform.

Private notes, seller financing, and data intelligence are changing how smart investors get to deals before the competition. In this episode, I break down how to control real estate without owning it — and how to position yourself ahead of everyone else in today's market. Most investors chase deals after they hit the MLS. By then, it's already competitive. The real advantage comes from understanding how banks structure deals, how professional note buyers think, and how to use private mortgage notes and seller financing to control assets without taking on unnecessary risk. In this conversation, we cover: - Why banks control real estate instead of owning it - The difference between investment-to-value and loan-to-value - How to structure private notes correctly - When seller financing makes sense - Why most investors look for the wrong signals - How behavioral data can help you get to opportunities before your competition If you're serious about building long-term cash flow, creating smarter exits, and gaining an edge in today's market, this episode will expand your thinking. //CONNECT WITH NICK Learn more about data intelligence and custom intent audiences at: https://dataaviator.com

What happens when you walk away from one identity and completely reinvent your life? In this episode, Paul sits down with Nathaniel Allenby entrepreneur, circus performer, author, and founder of Cirque Quirk and The Cycle of Kindness. Nathaniel's journey is anything but conventional. From becoming an international gaming champion to cycling 28,000 miles across 10 countries, to performing as a circus entertainer around the world, his life has been shaped by risk, resilience, and radical growth. But beneath the adventure is something deeper. This conversation explores growth mindset, identity shifts, endurance, fatherhood, and what it truly means to build a legacy rooted in service rather than ego. Nathaniel shares how adversity forged resilience, how performance taught him emotional intelligence, and why kindness is not weakness it's power.

Teenagers flipping houses? Bill Allen is teaching financial literacy and real estate investing to the next generation of entrepreneurs. In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Bill Allen to talk about building a $4M real estate business, navigating a $1.5M payroll when revenue went to zero, redefining what "scale" really means, and why he's now focused on helping kids build wealth through real estate instead of just leaving them an inheritance. We get into: - Scaling from 1 deal to 200+ deals per year - What COVID taught him about leadership and margins - Why "scale" can actually hurt your lifestyle - Teaching teenagers to flip houses - Legacy vs. leaving millions behind - The mindset that matters more than money Bill is the founder of Seven Figure Flipping and the creator of Teenage Tycoon and the TV show Kids Who Flip. He's built businesses in real estate, education, and media — and now he's helping the next generation think differently about money. If you're an entrepreneur, investor, or parent who wants to build real wealth and legacy, this one's for you.

This is the final episode in our 3-part deep dive on self-directed accounts, and this is where entrepreneurs can really move the needle. I'm back with Amanda Holbrook from Specialized Trust Company to break down small business retirement plans like Solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs—and how business owners use them to contribute significantly more each year while keeping control of how the money is invested. We cover: - Which plan fits your business structure - How much you can actually put away - Roth vs pre-tax options (and why Roth matters long-term) - Leveraging retirement accounts without triggering UBIT - Borrowing from a Solo 401(k) for short-term liquidity - Asset protection, creditor protection, and beneficiary rules - How investors like Peter Thiel used retirement accounts to create massive tax-free outcomes If you're an entrepreneur, investor, or business owner who's ever said "I don't really have a retirement plan," this episode will change how you think about that. This episode is brought to you by Smart Management — our operating system for real estate operators who want better visibility, tighter controls, and stronger cash flow across their portfolio.

In episode 2 of this 3-part series, I'm back with Amanda Holbrook from Specialized Trust Company to break down two of the most overlooked tax-advantaged accounts out there: HSAs and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. Most people think HSAs are just a place to park money for medical bills. They're wrong. We talk about how HSAs can grow tax-free like a Roth, how investors self-direct them into real estate and other assets, and how they can cover expenses most insurance won't touch. We also dive into Coverdell ESAs—how they work for K–12 and higher education, how family members can contribute, how they compare to 529 plans, and how they fit into a bigger legacy strategy for your kids. This episode is all about using accounts you already need—for healthcare and education—in a smarter, tax-advantaged way. Next week, we wrap the series with small business retirement plans (SEP IRAs and more), including how to put significantly more money away and protect it long-term. //CONNECT WITH AMANDA Amanda Holbrook Key Account Executive at Specialized Trust Company

In this episode of the Business Legacy Podcast, Paul Dio sits down with Evan Marshall, COO of Black Menswear, a cultural impact agency that began as a visual storytelling project and evolved into a nationwide movement and top-of-funnel agency for brands.

Self-directed accounts let you take control of retirement money and invest beyond the stock market—if you follow the rules. In episode 1 of this 3-part series, I'm joined by Amanda Holbrook from Specialized Trust Services to break down the self-directed Roth IRA: how it works, who it's for, common myths, and the compliance mistakes that can get you in trouble. We also get into real strategies: the backdoor Roth, using Roth contributions as a safety net, starting Roth IRAs for kids (legitimately), what "self-dealing" actually means in real estate, and how people partner accounts the right way without commingling. Next week we'll cover specialty accounts (Coverdell ESAs, HSAs, and more). Then we'll hit small business retirement plans (SEP IRAs and other owner plans) and how to load more cash into tax-advantaged accounts.

Residential assisted living is one of the most misunderstood — and fastest-growing — housing models in the country. In this episode, I sit down with Isabelle Guarino to break down the real costs of aging care, why traditional facilities are failing, and what families and investors need to understand before it's too late. I'm joined by the Queen of Residential Assisted Living to unpack a topic most families avoid until they're forced to deal with it. We talk about the real cost of caring for aging parents, why in-home care is often far more expensive than people realize, and why large institutional assisted living facilities are struggling while smaller, residential models are thriving. Isabelle breaks down how residential assisted living works, why it feels more like a home than a facility, and how this model solves both a family problem and a massive supply-and-demand issue that's coming fast as baby boomers continue to age. Whether you're an investor, a business owner, or someone thinking about how you'll care for your parents — or yourself — this conversation will change how you think about assisted living. //CONNECT WITH ISABELLE Website: RAL101.com IG: @ralacademy YouTube:  @RALAcademy   Buy Isabelle's book Living Legacy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Legacy-Community-Creating-Significant/dp/1734315385

In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, we break down how some real estate investors use life insurance as a tool to store cash, borrow against it, and fund deals—using real numbers and clear examples. Most investors hear "life insurance" and immediately tune out. I get it. I did too. So in this episode, I wanted to slow everything down and actually understand how some investors are using life insurance as a financial tool—not as a product pitch, not as a hack, and not as a replacement for real estate. I sat down again with Chris Miles and asked the questions I know most real estate investors are thinking but don't always get clear answers to. We talk through: - How investors use life insurance to hold cash differently -What it really looks like in the early years (costs, break-even, growth) - How borrowing against a policy actually works - How this compares to holding cash, CDs, bonds, or money markets - When this makes sense for real estate investors and when it doesn't - We use simple dollar examples, real scenarios, and honest trade-offs. No hype. No pressure. Just clarity. This episode isn't about convincing you to do anything. It's about understanding another tool so you can decide whether it belongs in your overall strategy. If you've ever wondered where to safely park cash, how to keep money working while still using it, or why some investors structure things differently—this will help connect the dots.

Smart investors aren't chasing upside anymore — they're prioritizing predictability, downside protection, and cash flow. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, I sit down with longtime friend and lender Mike Zlotnik (‪@TempoInvestments‬ ) to break down how experienced operators are navigating today's real estate market. Mike and I go deep on what's actually working right now — why heavy value-add and new construction have burned so many investors, how interest rates reset the entire multifamily landscape, and why capital is flowing toward industrial, open-air retail, and long-term leases instead. We also talk candidly about investor psychology after the 2020–2022 run, what LPs are demanding today, how to think about risk vs. reward as your portfolio matures, and why staying in your lane matters more than ever in volatile cycles. This is a conversation for serious investors who want to protect capital, generate real income, and build wealth that lasts through multiple market cycles. Topics we cover: Why chasing upside is costing investors money How interest rates reshaped multifamily, retail, and industrial The importance of positive cap-rate spreads What predictable cash flow looks like today Investor sentiment after the last market peak Staying focused instead of chasing shiny objects Connect with Mike: Website & Podcast: https://bigmikefund.com Want help building a more predictable real estate portfolio?

AI can help your business grow, but only if your data, systems, and compliance are dialed in first. In this episode, we break down how serious operators actually use AI without risking revenue or shutdowns. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Jordan Fleming, co-founder and Chairman of smrtphone.io — an all-in-one communications platform used by thousands of real estate operators. Jordan and I go deep on where AI actually creates leverage in a business — and where it quietly introduces risk if your systems aren't ready. We talk about clean data, outbound sales, compliance, AI agents, and why most operators try to scale before fixing the fundamentals. This isn't AI hype. This is what works in the real world when you're running teams, managing deal flow, raising capital, and protecting revenue. If you're serious about scaling — not just experimenting — this episode will change how you think about systems, communication, and AI. // CONNECT WITH JORDAN Social Media: @jsamuelfleming Website: smrtphone.io Get a FREE copy of Jordan's book: https://clickcallscale.com/legacy-podcast

In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, host Paul Dio speaks with Adam Rosen, founder and CEO of Email Outreach Company (EOC), a service helping startups and businesses scale their outreach through strategic, professional cold email. From landing Fortune 500 clients like Amazon and Bank of America to getting replies from Mark Cuban and Ajay Banga, Adam shares real stories that prove email is still one of the most powerful tools in business if you know how to use it. He breaks down what's changed (and what hasn't) in the email landscape, especially after the crackdown by Google and Microsoft on poor practices.

This week I sat down with my buddy Sam Primm, a powerhouse real estate investor out of St. Louis who flips over 300 houses a year, owns about $50 million in rentals, and has built one of the strongest personal brands in the industry. We talk about his entire journey—from buying his first couple rentals on the side while working a W2 job, to going all-in and scaling through consistency and smart partnerships.  Sam shares how joining masterminds changed the trajectory of his business, why he intentionally stayed in the Midwest, and how he built a team of 55 people (many of them lifelong friends) who rarely leave because they're allowed to grow wealth alongside him. We also break down flipping vs. rentals, why most investors quit too soon, and the two core skills every real estate investor must master: finding deals and finding money.  We also get into the social media side of things. Sam now racks up 30–35 million views a month across platforms, and we talk about how brand building is becoming a requirement for investors in 2025, not a luxury. His authenticity, consistency, and willingness to share the real side of the business have created massive opportunities—from deal flow to private money to a thriving coaching platform.  Sam is one of the good guys. He leads with value, he builds his community, and he's built systems that allow him to scale without sacrificing his life.

From helping his daughter grow into a leadership role within the family business, to launching a nonprofit-driven Be Better Movement, Peter's mission is clear: create scalable businesses that also make humans better.

This episode is a masterclass in why real estate matters far beyond the money, the units, or the portfolio size. Andrew Schlag has been open about the adversity he's faced—losing over $3 million, climbing out of debt, rebuilding from zero—and how those seasons completely shifted his definition of success. At the core of his entire business is a simple belief: wealth should give you the freedom to serve more. Whether it's building homes and schools in other countries, supporting local charities, funding kids' meals, or helping new investors escape the rat race, Andrew's whole mission is about using real estate as a way to lift others up. We talk about the habits that helped him rebuild, why gratitude is the secret multiplier in business, and how designing a life of purpose changes the way you invest forever. If you're an investor who believes success is about more than stacking doors—and that the highest calling in business is impact—this conversation will hit home.

Most entrepreneurs say they want to sell their business someday… but the truth is, 80–90% of owners are completely unprepared for an exit. They don't have recurring revenue, they don't have systems, and the whole business depends on them showing up every day. That's why I brought in my buddy Zac Jennings, who helps business owners turn chaotic operations into real, sellable assets. In this episode, we break down what makes a company sellable, what kills valuation, and how to prepare years before you ever think about selling.We get into the emotional side of it, the financial side, and the stuff nobody talks about—like what happens when your business isn't sellable and life forces your hand. If you've ever wondered: "Could I actually sell my company for real money?" …this is the episode you need to watch. //CONNECT WITH ZAC Website: https://southernexits.com LinkedIn: Zachary Jennings — https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-jennings

On this episode of the Legacy Podcast, we explore this compelling idea with Daniel Burrus, a renowned futurist, author, and speaker. Dive into the art of foresight as Burrus explains the power of combining anticipatory strategies with an understanding of hard and soft trends.

Short-term rentals aren't just about cash flow — they're one of the most powerful tax strategies available to W-2 earners and entrepreneurs. In this episode, Lamè Kinikini breaks down how STRs can offset active income, create long-term wealth, and why most investors misunderstand the opportunity. Lamè is the guy behind Elk Ridge Investments and one of the best operators I know in the short-term rental space. He's built a portfolio across 15 states and carved out a niche helping investors use STRs to reduce their tax liability, build equity, and buy properties the right way. We talked about his family's immigrant story, the mindset he built from watching his grandfather chase the American dream, and how door-to-door sales unexpectedly launched him into real estate. Then we got deep into the STR tax loophole, cost segregation, depreciation, and how everyday W-2 earners use these investments to offset active income. If you've ever wondered how the wealthy actually use tax strategy to get ahead — this episode will open your eyes. //CONNECT WITH LAMÈ Instagram: @lamekinikini
