In this episode, Joe Crane sits down with Ryan Hogan, a Navy veteran who transitioned from enlisted aircrewman to Surface Warfare Officer while building a career as an entrepreneur. With 15 years of active duty experience and a tenure in the Reserves, Ryan discusses the "trial-by-fire" lessons learned from early ventures like WarWear and Run For Your Lives, emphasizing the unique challenges of managing a business while serving on active duty. The conversation centers on Ryan's success as the co-founder of Hunt A Killer, the high-growth mystery game he eventually sold. He credits much of his scaling success to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and peer-to-peer learning through Vistage, which helped him transition from a founder-led startup to a systems-driven organization. Following the sale, Ryan launched Talent Harbor to fix the inefficiencies he encountered in the hiring industry. He introduces the "Recruiting as a Service" (RaaS) model, which replaces traditional high-commission headhunting with a transparent, flat-fee monthly rate. By treating recruiting as a core operational competency rather than a one-off task, Ryan is now helping other founders build more efficient systems for finding and retaining top-tier talent. Episode Resources: Talent Harbor Ryan Hogan - LinkedIn   About Our Guest Prior to founding Talent Harbor, Ryan Hogan co-founded Hunt A Killer, a subscription-based interactive murder mystery experience. In 2019, Hunt A Killer was named by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies. In 2020, Inc Magazine named it the fastest-growing CPG company. Ryan started his career enlisting in the U.S. Navy as an MH-53E aircrewman, and transitioned to officer where he served as a Surface Warfare Officer onboard various warships. Along the way, Ryan founded WarWear and Run For Your Lives, honing the entrepreneurial skills that he would use in Hunt A Killer, and now Talent Harbor.   About Our Sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union   Navy Federal Credit Union offers exclusive benefits to all of their members.

Antonio Bonfiglio, GWOT Iraq combat veteran, in Episode 231 of the Transition Drill Podcast explores transition and identity for veterans and first responders navigating the messy middle between “who I was” and “who I'm becoming.” You'll hear Antonio on combat deployments, what it takes to rebuild your life, and working for the Wounded Warrior Project.The episodes begins by naming a lie he's told himself on repeat: that he's tough. Not tough in the “I can handle anything” way, but tough as a posture, a defense he learned early. He grew up the short, sickly kid in a loud, old school household, always trying to prove he belonged. His family story is its own wild thing too: his dad was 30 years older than his mom, and Antonio grew up with three much older half-siblings who were closer in age to his mom than to him.He was born in New Jersey, raised in South Florida, then got pulled back to New Jersey at 13 and hated it. Hockey was his identity in Florida, and when that fell away, he started chasing status in the wrong places. He talks about a going-away party, getting caught with weed when the cops showed up, and how fast one “stupid decision” can change how your parents see you and what doors stay open.In 2003, he enlists in the Marine Corps on an open contract and ships off to Parris Island. He goes from boot camp to Marine Combat Training to combat engineer school, then hits his first unit in November 2003: 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. His first deployment is January 2005, was to Fallujah right after Operation Phantom Fury. To the question “where did you grow up,” Antonio often says, “Iraq.” He shares the kind of stories that sound funny until you feel what's underneath them.After the Marines, Antonio runs into the next kind of fight: school, work, relationships, and trying to fit into normal life while still acting like everything's a mission. He talks about using education benefits, clashing with a professor, trying to get hired by the NYPD, and watching his life drift into dead end jobs, partying, gaining weight, and a layoff in the 2009 economic collapse. The throughline isn't perfection. It's the honest look at how a “tough guy” identity can protect you early, then trap you later, until you finally decide to change how you're living.Today he's turned his life around, he's now married and has a couple children. He's been working for the Wounded Warrior Project for the past 6 years, and though he's helping other's who, “raised their right hand” as a physical fitness instructor, he's found his own treatment helping others through their journey. His new passions are sailing and jiu-jitsu, both he found through veteran non-profits.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service.

This episode was recorded a few years ago.James Fetzer, a former Marine Corps officer and philosophy professor who founded Scholars for 9/11 Truth, argues that the official 9/11 story is fundamentally wrong. His main theory is that the Twin Towers weren't brought down by plane crashes and fires, but were actually destroyed using mini or micro nuclear devices placed in the buildings' core columns. He reckons these nuclear weapons had "dialable radii" and were directed upward to blow the towers apart from the top down, creating the appearance of a collapse whilst actually converting the buildings into fine dust.James also argues that none of the official aircraft actually crashed on 9/11 - no planes hit the towers, the Pentagon, or crashed in Pennsylvania. What sets him apart from other 9/11 researchers is that he doesn't just focus on how the buildings were destroyed, but also insists on addressing who was responsible and why it happened. ✉️ Please subscribe to my addictive newsletter

A quiet prayer opens the door to a pointed, practical conversation about how faith shapes free people. We move from gratitude to responsibility, drawing on a Marine Corps habit—bring courses of action, not complaints—to chart a path from personal virtue to public courage. The through-line is simple and demanding: if we want liberty to last, we must live the principles that guard it, starting at home and moving outward into our towns.We lay out concrete steps you can take this week. Support your local sheriff, district attorney, firefighters, and EMS with training and equipment. Build ties with neighboring communities that share a commitment to ordered liberty, and show up in schools as a steady, serving presence. Scripture provides the moral compass: Matthew 15 exposes the hollowness of man-made traditions, Psalm 19 restores wonder and wisdom, and Proverbs 4 draws a clean line away from the path of evildoers. A Medal of Honor story illustrates duty under pressure—courage that moves toward fire for the sake of others.Benjamin Rush's words on education anchor the episode's claim: without religion there is no virtue, and without virtue there is no liberty. We explore how Christian principles cultivate humility, equality, and self-denial—qualities a republic needs to resist tyranny and sustain trust. Along the way, we reflect on marriage through Song of Solomon and return to the basics: prayer, integrity, service, and community readiness. The goal is not alarm but stewardship—faith that speaks through action and builds resilience before the storm arrives.If this conversation strengthens your resolve, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a rating or review to help others find the show.

In our second "Industry Episode" we're learning about a company almost every service member has at least noticed on their installation: BeaverFit.And if you've been confused about the odd company name, don't worry, we get that history right away. Tom Beaver, founder of BeaverFit UK, built his first outdoor training rig in 2006 while preparing for the grueling Enduroman Arch to Arc, an 87-mile run from London to the English Channel, a swim across the Channel and a 180-mile bike ride to Paris.A few years later, the Special Air Service teams from Hereford — just a stone's throw away from the Beaver family farm in Shropshire — spent a day with Tom training on his unique outdoor rig and immediately asked him to build them one.Our guest for this discussion is Jason Clark, BeaverFit's Director of Education and Training. Jason is a Marine Corps combat veteran and former drill instructor. He later went on to work in the fitness industry and then as a strength and conditioning director for the Marine Corps HITT program. He also served on the advisory board for human performance at HQ Marine Corps. Since this is one of our “industry episodes” our conversation will be more focused on BeaverFit than Jason himself, but the Any Given Day podcast just published an episode that's much more personal, so if you want to learn more about the guy, check it out!

Recorded at: SGF's First Gathering at Polyface (2021) In this episode, Jordan Green shares the foundational mindset and practical decision-making required to become a true farm builder.

In this episode of the Ultimate Journey of Self-Care, Alison had the privilege of speaking with Steve Gallegos, a multi-faceted guide who wears many hats: an attorney, author, speaker, and consultant. With his newly published book, Unshackled, they delved deep into how individuals can redefine their self-care practices by reevaluating their core beliefs and narratives that shape their lives. Steve's journey from overcoming a troubled youth to thriving in various professional roles exemplifies that personal transformation is possible through conscious choice and awareness.Steve shared his personal journey including the pivotal moment during his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he discovered the power of looking beyond himself to help others. This experience served as a cornerstone for his understanding of self-worth and value, leading him to advocate for a mindset shift in how we perceive our lives and the stories we tell ourselves. They explored how many of us often unconsciously act out scripts written by societal norms and past experiences. With insights from his book, he provides a framework to help people rewrite those scripts and take charge of their narratives.Steve shared profound insights about overcoming feelings of unworthiness and imposter syndrome, which can hold individuals back from pursuing their true potential. Common themes emerged regarding why people seek guidance: many grapple with the belief that they are not deserving of happiness or success. He encourages listeners to recognize that these beliefs are often rooted in childhood experiences, and he advocates for awareness as a key first step towards transformation.Moreover, they touched on how societal pressures and the pursuit of happiness can lead to a sense of competition rather than collaboration. By creating an environment of support, individuals can thrive instead of just surviving. Throughout their conversation, Steve reiterated the importance of envisioning what a fulfilled life looks like and the necessity of taking small, actionable steps towards achieving it.Listeners will gain valuable takeaways from this episode, including the message that change does not always require massive leaps but can often begin with a simple yes or no to opportunities that come our way. Steve's heartfelt commitment to helping others through his work and community initiatives reflects a genuine desire to empower individuals to take ownership of their lives.HIGHLIGHTS:16:06 Unshackled: The Book24:13 The Pursuit of Happiness26:14 Tips for Transformationconnect with Steve:website: https://www.steviegsuccess.comfree resources: https://www.steviegsuccess.com/learning-loungeUnshackled (book): https://a.co/d/aYHhbsWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

Send us a textWhat happens when a retired Marine takes the discipline of the military and applies it to faith, fitness, and community? In this episode of The Days Grimm, Paul Linberg returns for round two to share the incredible growth of his mission and the impact it is having on men across the country. After retiring from the Marine Corps, Paul realized the civilian world often lacked the "tribe" mentality essential for growth, leading him to co-found Ruck and Rosary, a program designed to challenge the mind, body, and soul.Paul breaks down the origin of Ruck and Rosary, which combines a five-mile weighted ruck with the five decades of the rosary. This isn't just a workout; it is a structured environment where men discuss the pillars of being a better man, a better husband, and a better father. Paul explains how these "universal truths" are shared through both biblical scripture and the wisdom of Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, proving that the pursuit of discipline is a timeless human endeavor.A significant portion of this conversation focuses on the power of community in personal transformation. Host Brian  Day shares his own journey of returning to the Catholic church at St. Benedict Cathedral after 25 years, a move directly inspired by the support and brotherhood he found within Paul's rucking group. This episode highlights how a simple invitation to "ruck" can lead to profound spiritual and personal changes.This conversation goes deeper than fitness. Paul opens up about combat experiences, traumatic brain injuries, and the long-term mental health challenges faced by veterans. The group discusses why talking openly, doing hard things together, and building consistent routines can be life-saving, especially for men who struggle to slow down or ask for help.The episode also takes a deep dive into Paul's military history, specifically the events of December 15, 2006, in Ramadi. Paul recounts the harrowing details of a VBIED attack involving a cement truck filled with explosives and the complex ambush that followed. His "Alive Day" story serves as a powerful reminder of the perspective gained through service and the resilience required to keep moving forward when the "RPMs" of life feel overwhelming.Finally, Paul discusses his newest project, The Watch and the War podcast, and how he manages a life filled with family, ministry, and security training. Why podcasting can be therapeutic, and how connecting the right people at the right time can change lives. From stoicism and faith to addiction, discipline, and family priorities, this is an honest, grounded conversation about building a life with purpose after service.Whether you are a veteran seeking a new tribe or someone looking to balance high-intensity life with spiritual peace, Paul's insights on routine and "standing in the breach" offer a compelling roadmap for the modern man.This episode offers real-world insight.no fluff, no shortcuts.KEY TOPICS COVERED:* The origin and mission of the Ruck and Rosary program* Building a resilient tribe after the Marine Corps* Mind, Body, and Soul: The structure of a 5-mile spiritual ruck* Comparing Stoicism and the Gospe[The Days Grimm Podcast Links]- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDaysGrimm- Our link tree: linktr.ee/Thedaysgrimm- GoFundMe account for The Days Grimm: https://gofund.me/02527e7c [The Days Grimm is brought to you by]Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)

She built HomeFront Haven™ after experiencing mental health struggles during her husband's deployment in 2023. During that period, Patty found that there was a critical need for evidence backed care focused on supporting positive mental health outcomes among military spouses and partners. During the deployment, Patty kept hearing “You knew what you signed up for” and friends would reassure her that she'd be “ok.” Instead, Patty found herself exhausted, anxious, and feeling incredibly alone.  To ensure that others wouldn't have to experience the same journey, she sought to advance a preventative approach to mental health.HomeFront Haven™'s model prioritizes community-based support as a critical strategy to reduce reliance on crisis care systems. Instead of asking spouses and partners, “Didn't you know what you signed up for?” this program asks, “How can we support you, so you don't have to carry the home front alone?”Links Mentioned During the EpisodeHomeFront Haven Web SitePsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is The PsychArmor course Accessing Health Care.

In this episode of the Targeted Lead Generation Podcast, Coach Manny discusses the importance of listening skills in business and personal interactions. He shares insights from his book "Stop, Listen, and Lead" and emphasized the value of genuine interest, maintaining eye contact, and embracing silence during conversations. Manny provides practical exercises to help listeners improve their listening skills, including counting to ten before responding and practicing note-taking without formulating immediate responses. He also addresses the "itchy pants syndrome" - the urge to interrupt others - and encouraged listeners to catch and redirect this impulse. Through personal anecdotes and examples, Manny demonstrates how effective listening can lead to better business outcomes, deeper relationships, and personal growth. Manny@mannynowak.com Coachmanny.com Book Avaliable on Amazon https://tinyurl.com/3x9jcvkt   Super Listening for Leadership Success Manny discussed the importance of listening in business and personal life, quoting Stephen Covey that people often listen to reply rather than understand. He shared a story about a school incident where miscommunication led to 2,550 students receiving false detention notices, emphasizing how better listening could have prevented the situation. Manny introduced his book "Stop, Listen, and Lead" and outlined the first key to becoming a super listener: being genuinely interested. Enhancing Genuine Listening Skills Manny discussed the importance of genuine interest in listening, drawing from Dale Carnegie's principles. He emphasized that successful listeners are fully present and engaged, using eye contact, nodding, and other positive cues to show genuine interest. Manny encouraged participants to reflect on their own listening habits and suggested a simple exercise to improve their listening skills moving forward. Enhancing Active Listening Techniques Manny shared techniques for improving listening skills, emphasizing the importance of note-taking, maintaining eye contact, and practicing mindfulness during conversations. He encouraged participants to focus entirely on the person they are speaking with, comparing it to a surgeon's concentration during an operation. Manny advised keeping a log of experiences to reflect on and learn from, stating that practice is essential for mastering these skills. Active Listening and Personal Reflection Manny discussed the importance of personal reflection and active listening, sharing his experience of transforming his listening skills during Marine Corps boot camp. He emphasized the value of truly hearing others and the impact it can have on relationships and success. Manny also introduced the concept of "being quiet" and using silence effectively in conversations, quoting Albert Hubbard's insight about the significance of understanding silence. Strategic Use of Silence in Sales Manny discussed the importance of allowing silence in sales conversations, explaining that people often talk too soon and miss opportunities by rushing to fill silence. He shared examples of how silence can be used strategically, such as in negotiations and dating scenarios, and emphasized that giving others time to think can lead to better outcomes. Manny noted that many people view silence as taboo, but he suggested that allowing silence can reveal important information and help close deals. Embracing Silence in Conversations Manny discussed the importance of embracing silence in conversations, particularly in sales contexts, to encourage people to share more information. He suggested trying a simple exercise of leaving silence during conversations with a spouse, partner, or friend, and noted that people often fill silence to avoid discomfort. Manny emphasized that allowing silence can lead to richer conversations and provide valuable insights, as people may share more than intended when given the space to reflect. The Power of Silence in Communication Manny discussed the importance of silence in communication, explaining that it can lead to valuable insights and help close deals. He encouraged listeners to practice counting to ten before responding to questions, noting that this often leads to the other person providing information. Manny shared a personal experience where a four-second pause after a pitch led to a client discussing financial data, demonstrating the power of silence in gathering information. Embracing Silence in Communication Manny discussed the importance of embracing silence in communication, explaining that it can lead to better learning and business outcomes. He shared personal experiences where clients unexpectedly made decisions during silent moments. Manny encouraged listeners to practice remaining quiet during conversations, documenting their experiences and noting any feelings of anxiety. He emphasized that patience is key and that often, valuable information follows periods of silence. Silence as a Sales Strategy Jessica, a seasoned sales representative, faced a challenge during a meeting with a potential client, David, who was hesitant about upgrading their CRM system due to cost and implementation concerns. Despite feeling the pressure to fill the silence, Jessica recalled a training lesson and chose to remain quiet, allowing the silence to linger. This decision helped David process the information, and he gradually became more receptive to the benefits of the upgrade. Empowering Clients Through Listening Manny shared a story about Jessica's successful sales approach, where she used silence and active listening to help David overcome his concerns about a new training system. Through careful questioning and allowing space for thought, Jessica helped David realize the benefits of the system himself, leading to his decision to sign the contract. The story illustrates how effective listening and silence can empower clients to reach their own conclusions, resulting in successful outcomes. Enhancing Listening for Leadership Manny discussed the importance of effective listening in team and client interactions, referencing his book "Stop. Listen. and Lead" and offering a half-day seminar on listening skills. He introduced the concept of "Itchy Pants Syndrome," which describes the urge to immediately respond to questions or situations, and emphasized the value of patience in uncovering hidden secrets. Manny encouraged attendees to apply these lessons to improve their professional interactions. Active Listening: Key to Success Manny discussed the importance of active listening in team discussions and sales interactions. He explained that when people start formulating responses, they stop listening effectively, which can lead to missed opportunities and poor decision-making. Manny shared a story about a project manager who failed to listen to her team's feedback, resulting in project delays. He suggested exercises to help people overcome the tendency to interrupt and focus on listening instead. Enhancing Active Listening Techniques Manny discussed strategies for improving listening skills, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and redirecting the "itchy pants syndrome" - the urge to interrupt while someone else is speaking. He advised writing a note to oneself when this happens and focusing on active note-taking during conversations without planning responses. Manny also highlighted the value of allowing silence after someone finishes speaking and encouraged patience until the speaker indicates they are done. Active Listening: A Business Opportunity Manny discussed the importance of active listening and shared a personal story about a missed business opportunity due to interrupting a client and failing to understand their priorities. He encouraged listeners to practice active listening techniques and offered resources, including an audio version of the podcast and a book, for further learning. Manny concluded by inviting feedback and encouraging listeners to subscribe and share their thoughts.

The war didn't end overseas. It followed them home.Justin Governale joined the U.S. Marine Corps at 17, driven by the aftermath of 9/11 and a chaotic upbringing in Laredo, Texas.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereWaayyyyy back in Episode 13 (which apparently was nearly four and a half years ago even though it feels much longer than that), I covered the funeral of President John F. Kennedy. At that time I said that I would probably get around to telling the story of how he became eligible for burial at Arlington (I'm talking about his military service, not his election to President of the United States) and that time has finally come. But before we get to his service in the Navy, here is a little bit about his childhood; while it may have seemed idyllic from the outside, it was anything but.The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.For more information about the podcast visit: ·       The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com    ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast·       Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

In this episode of the Finding Discounted Property Podcast, host Michael Pinter sits down with Tim Street, real estate investor, licensed agent, and creator of Foolproof FSBO, to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in real estate: selling your home without an agent.Tim shares his unconventional journey from the Marine Corps and federal air marshal work to tech sales, real estate investing, and eventually building a system that helps homeowners sell their homes themselves the right way. While most people believe FSBO listings fail because sellers lack exposure, Tim explains the real reasons — pricing mistakes, emotional attachment, and poor positioning.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why 90% of FSBO listings fail — and why most sell for less than agent-listed homesThe personality test that determines whether selling by owner is right for youHow emotional attachment destroys pricing and negotiationsWhy price — not marketing — is almost always the reason a home doesn't sellHow to create buyer competition and bidding wars without the MLSHow FSBO sellers can still attract buyer's agents and pay commissions strategicallyThe hidden incentive problems in traditional real estate listingsWhen you should absolutely hire an agent instead of going DIYTim also explains his zero-risk FSBO blueprint, including a guarantee that protects homeowners if they try to sell on their own and fail — and how learning the FSBO process can make you a stronger investor and a smarter seller, even if you never sell by owner.Whether you're a homeowner looking to save tens of thousands in commissions, or an investor who wants to better understand pricing psychology and negotiation, this episode delivers practical, no-nonsense insights you can use immediately.Hope You enjoy it I offer other products thanks for listening

On the last Angry Planet of 2025, novelist and Marine Corps veteran Phil Klay returns to reflect on a year of spectacle and cruelty.Between the Pentagon's boat strikes and the administration's constant barrage of grotesque memes, it feels like America is a crueler and cruder place. For better and worse, the Presidency sets a moral standard for the country and Trump has lowered that standard. Klay wrote about all this in a piece at The New York Times and he's here with us today to talk through it.“It's too easy to condemn.”The project is spectacles of cruelty“You're not supposed to be joining a gang of thugs.”What is this doing to us as a nation?The lust for cruelty and dominationKlay's review of Hegseth's first yearWar vs. Defense“Read long things.”Living in the Hell of opinionsEnding on a high noteWhat Trump Is Really Doing With His Boat StrikesTrump Admin's Racist Halo Memes Are ‘A New Level of Dehumanization of Immigrants'Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists.

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, Gary sits down with Terry Roberts, a seasoned mortgage broker with over 15 years of lending experience and a deep specialization in VA loans, investor financing, and non-traditional mortgage strategies. Terry shares his powerful journey—from homelessness, being a high school dropout, and a teenage father, to serving nine years in the U.S. Marine Corps and ultimately becoming a nationwide mortgage broker with access to 160+ lenders. His unique background in military leadership, business operations, and mortgage innovation gives him a rare perspective on how financing really works behind the scenes. Throughout the conversation, Terry breaks down why working with a mortgage broker vs. a retail bank loan officer can dramatically expand financing options for buyers and investors. He explains how veterans can strategically use VA loans to acquire duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes with little to no money down, how eligibility truly works, and how military families can build long-term wealth through real estate. We also dive deep into investor-focused loan programs most agents don't even know exist—such as asset depletion loans, rental-income-based financing, and loans that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or traditional income documentation. Terry explains how these options open doors for 1099 earners, real estate agents, retirees, developers, and foreign investors looking to invest safely in U.S. real estate. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on interest rates, Fed rate cuts, the 10-year Treasury, refinance strategies that actually make sense, and why trying to time the market often costs investors more in the long run. Whether you're a real estate agent, investor, veteran, or buyer trying to navigate today's complex lending landscape, this episode delivers clarity, strategy, and practical insights you can apply immediately.     What You Will Learn: How mortgage brokers unlock better loan options than traditional banks The real difference between a broker and a retail loan officer How veterans can use VA loans to build wealth with little to no money down Using VA loans for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes How VA entitlement actually works (and why it's not based on property count) Investor loan options that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs How rental-income-based loans work for investors and 1099 earners Asset depletion loans for retirees and high-net-worth investors Financing strategies for real estate agents who can't qualify traditionally Loan options for land, development, and mixed-use projects Can foreign nationals invest in U.S. real estate? (Yes—and how) Why Fed rate cuts don't directly control mortgage rates Why the 10-year U.S. Treasury matters more than Fed announcements When refinancing makes sense—even if your interest rate increases How refinancing can eliminate high-interest debt and improve cash flow Simple ways to lower monthly payments without refinancing Why relationships—not transactions—drive long-term success in real estate     Links & Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TerryRobertsNMLS397987 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mortgagetipdaily LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrydroberts/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mortgagetipdaily Website: terryroberts.com Email: troberts@emortgagecapital.com Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?
