In this episode, Adrienne breaks down the four pathways every business can use to fund growth: debt, equity, revenue power plays, and asset leverage. She explains why under-capitalization kills more businesses than bad ideas and shares the mindset and structure required to become “fundable.”Key Takeaways: You cannot scale without funding. Capital is strategy, not luck. Debt preserves ownership; equity accelerates growth. Revenue power plays can create cash-on-demand without outside capital. Fundable companies have clean financials, predictable revenue, capable owners, and clear systems. Capital flows to companies that look prepared, not desperate. What You'll Learn: The 4 capital pathways every CEO must understand How to choose the right funding method for your next stage How to prepare your company to receive capital What lenders and investors really look for The financial mistakes that kill funding opportunities Resources: Mogul Chix Guide to Getting VC Funding- https://mogulchix.com/product/mogul-chix-guide-vc-funding/Funding School ™- http://academy.mogulchix.com/funding-school/

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Joel Kraut, co-founder and managing director of BRRRR Loans, to explore the realities of long-term real estate investing, private lending, and sustainable financial decision-making. Drawing on decades of experience as an investor, lender, and former Wall Street trader, Joel challenges popular investing shortcuts and explains why slowing down and mastering fundamentals is often the fastest path to real wealth. The conversation dives deep into the limitations of the FIRE movement, the dangers of over-leverage, and how emotional decision-making derails otherwise solid deals. Joel shares lessons from market cycles, early BRRRR strategies, and hard-earned mistakes, emphasizing that success in real estate is far more about people, preparation, and honesty than chasing the newest strategy or acronym. Listeners will gain practical insight into what lenders actually look for in borrowers, how to present deals professionally, why organization and credit discipline matter, and how long-term relationships—not hype—drive consistent success in real estate. In this episode, you will hear: Why the FIRE movement often overlooks patience and foundational investing How Joel's early real estate and refinancing experience shaped his lending philosophy The real dangers of over-leverage and market-specific concentration risk What private lenders look for beyond credit scores and projections Why honesty, preparation, and organization matter more than clever deal structures How long-term relationships create repeat business and lasting wealth Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Tobias built Altitude Finance after running into the classic DeFi lending trade-off: either borrow conservatively and unlock very little capital, or borrow aggressively and risk liquidation when markets move fast.In this episode, we break down how Altitude makes loans more capital-efficient while keeping users at a safer LTV, how their vault automation rebalances positions during volatility, and why their best users love the “self-repaying loan” experience.We also cover Tobias' take on what changes in DeFi to watch in 2026—especially around token value being tied more tightly to protocol value, and why “stablecoins backed by risky strategies” could be the next blow-up.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Intro: Altitude traction, TVL, DeFi trends for 2026[00:01:00] Tobias' journey: Ethereum → DeFi Summer → full-time crypto [00:02:00] The lending trade-off: capital efficiency vs liquidation stress [00:03:00] What Altitude does: low LTV + protocol adds leverage to ~60% [00:04:00] Differentiation: efficiency, peace of mind, simplified UX [00:06:00] 2025 recap: whitelisted → public vaults, surviving volatility [00:07:00] 2026 focus: simpler onboarding, wallets, on/off-ramps [00:08:00] Automation: rebalances as prices move, keeps vaults healthy [00:09:00] 2026 DeFi trend: tokens aligning more with “common stock” value [00:10:00] Stablecoin warning: risky strategies behind “stable” pegs [00:12:00] Adoption driver: the “self-repaying loan” dopamine [00:14:00] Real-world use cases: Tesla, land, iPhone, engagement ring [00:18:00] Founder advice: simplify, avoid overwhelming choice [00:22:00] AI in DeFi: useful for insights, not autonomous execution (yet) [00:26:00] GTM: reach long-term BTC/ETH holders across better channels [00:29:00] Roadmap: wallets + off-ramps + mainstream user journey [00:31:00] Ask: try the product, give feedback, help simplify onboardingConnecthttps://app.altitude.fi/https://www.altitude.fi/https://www.linkedin.com/company/altitude-labs-defi/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiasvanamstel/https://x.com/AltitudeFi_https://x.com/tobiasvanamstel?lang=enDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research. It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share this podcast with a friend.Get featuredBe a guest on the podcast or contact us – https://www.web3pod.xyz/

Send us a textYou can't fake perspective. It's earned in the lows that most people won't talk about: childhood chaos, addiction, grief that knocks the air from your lungs, and careers capped by glass ceilings. We sat down as owners and team leads to tell the truth about how those lows forged our leadership, sharpened our empathy, and set the tone for how we build brokerages that actually serve people.We start with raw origin stories and the flip from victimhood to agency—therapy before tactics, faith before funnels, and mentors who make you fix your life before your lead gen. Then we break down the real market from 2023 to 2025 without spin: morale is a metric, culture is hard work, and smaller wins keep teams moving. You'll hear how we cut break-even side plays, killed bad spend, and focused on what we do best so our people could keep winning even when the weather turned.Looking ahead, we outline a clear 2026 plan.

  In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Understanding why life insurance loans are not income Questioning glossy tax-free income pitches Keeping life insurance simple and purpose-driven Testing illustrations and setting clear expectations   Key Takeaways:  Loans from a life insurance policy are not income, just as bank loans are not income. They are tax-free only because they must be repaid, not because they create earnings. Calling them "tax-free income" is a misleading sales framing. Many life insurance illustrations rely on optimistic assumptions and attractive projections. High internal fees and commissions often benefit the agent more than the client. If a pitch sounds too good to be true, it usually deserves deeper scrutiny.  Life insurance works best when focused on its core purpose: a tax-free death benefit. Level term coverage maximizes protection while minimizing cost and complexity. Avoid products with indexes, market ties, or unnecessary moving parts. Running illustrations at 0% growth reveals the true impact of fees and loan costs. This stress test shows whether a policy can sustain itself over time. Life insurance should be positioned as protection, not a tax-free income strategy.   "With life insurance, you buy the most death benefit you can for the least amount of money. It's that simple." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of “Push the Leading Edge”, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most anxiety‑provoking parts of EFT: when the caregiving system red-lights right in the middle of beautiful vulnerability. Drawing on attachment theory and years of EFT training experience, they explore “caregiving nightmares”—those predictable moments when a partner can't respond with comfort, even when their loved one is wide open and reaching. They unpack how pursuers and withdrawers each bring their attachment strategies into the caregiving role: withdrawers often “loan out their avoidance” as a form of love, and pursuers “up the ante” as their way of fighting for the bond. Rather than shaming these moves or bypassing them to “get to the heart,” James and Ryan show how to move toward the blocks themselves as emotional material, validating the attachment logic inside them and using structured, attuned interventions to help partners reclaim their caregiving systems. With rich clinical examples, regulation strategies for therapists, and practical language you can use tomorrow, this episode helps you trust the process, trust the caregiving system, and stay with the red lights long enough for new attachment experiences to emerge. Main Points from the Episode Framing: “Caregiving Nightmares” & Red Lights  - Focus on stage 2 / step 6 caregiving positions, and the “back half” of vulnerable enactments.    - The “red light” is the blocked caregiving system: the partner can't offer simple comfort even when they want to. Predictable Attachment Patterns in Caregiving  - Withdrawers as caregivers:    - “Loan out their avoidance” or self-reliance: advice, positivity, “be comfortable in your own skin.”      - This is a form of love and responsiveness, but often misattuned.    - Pursuers as caregivers:      - “Up the ante”: test, push, or kick the tires on vulnerability (“it's just words,” “you only do this in here”).      - Driven by hope and fear of being dropped again. Therapist Regulation & Preparation  - Pre‑regulate before couples sessions; expect blocks as part of the process, not a failure.  - If the therapist dysregulates, you now have three protection systems in the room. Working with Withdrawer Red Lights  - Steps:    1. Regulate yourself.        2. Offer an attuned, assertive interruption (contain the cycle).        3. Give 3–5 concrete validations of the withdrawer's strategy as attachment‑driven care.        4. Reframe the strategy's attachment function (“this is how you love/protect”).        5. Then gently move toward the part that wants to reach.      - Don't bypass the strategy; work with it as emotional material. Working with Pursuer Red Lights  - Normalize that pursuers often lash out or test the first vulnerabilities they've begged for.    - Validate their vision, hope, and fight for the relationship (3–5 validations).      - Help them notice their somatic/empathic response to the partner's pain (1% of reach or comfort).      - Avoid shaming language like “you're going to your head.” Use of Numbers & Repetition  - “Magic” 3–5 validations to regulate a nervous system.    - Sue Johnson's idea: clients often don't really hear you until about the 5th repetition. Tourniquets & Sender Protection  - After a strong send + strong red light, layer tourniquets on the sender so they:    - Feel caught and not blamed.        - Are reinforced to risk again.      - Never make the sender give up their experience just to soothe the blocked caregiver. Trusting the Caregiving System  - Leanne Campbell's idea: trusting the process = trusting the caregiving system.    - People do know how to care; the cycle paralyzes access.      - Our job is to create conditions for that caregiving instinct to re‑emerge experientially. Hope, Respect, and Attachment Change  - Both pursuer protest and withdrawer avoidance are hopeful, survival strategies.    - Change often comes through “begrudging respect”: seeing a partner fight their old pattern for the relationship.

Dan and Steve discussed the launch of "Call the Mortgage Guy," an extension of "Call the Underwriter" that focuses on non-QM loans. Steve explained that non-QM loans cater to borrowers who don't meet traditional mortgage criteria, such as self-employed individuals and those with non-traditional income, similar to seller finance borrowers. Dan noted the growing popularity of non-QM loans, which have increased from 1-2% to over 8% of the mortgage market in the last 2 years, as lenders target underserved markets. The expansion into mortgage brokering, enabled by mortgage licensing in states like Colorado, Texas, and Florida, aims to address this growing demand.

In this episode, Carl sits down with Chris Kloc, a Chattanooga based loan officer who is just four years into the business and on pace to close roughly 175 loans in 2025.

He explains how accountability, consistency, and being highly active and visible in the market drove both his purchase and refinance production. The conversation also dives into team structure, buying back time, and why knowing your real job as a loan officer is critical once production starts to scale. Chris outlines how he built leverage around himself so he could stay focused on lead generation, consultations, and leadership. If you are early in your career or stuck at a few loans a month and want a clear picture of what it really takes to scale quickly without burning out, this episode delivers practical lessons you can apply immediately.
