Bestie, let's keep it all the way real—success in real estate is not just about cute listings and closing day selfies.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Sage (Erik Larson), a logistics veteran with over 20 years in the industry, from owner-operator to SPI agent. He shares how the 2008 recession nearly took him out and how his decision to go all-in on freight brokerage reshaped everything.  We talk about the grind, working to master the over-dimensional niche, building custom trailers, and moving 70+ complex loads a year. Sage also breaks down how he built long-term carrier relationships without using load boards, his transition from independent brokerage to the SPI model, and why freight volume is tied to global trade shifts and oil prices.  If you're serious about operational excellence, niche specialization, and adapting your freight business, you'll want to hear this one!   Connect with Sage YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SageOutcastX

Hello and welcome back to The Psychology Sisters Unfiltered!!Love and leaves Love – Carmen's black truffle popcorn Leaves Dyson vacuums Aimee's peek: time with family and friends lately and pit: experiencing social awkwardness and anxiety, which is very new and uncharted waters to navigate. In a clunky stage of life at the moment!! Also, illness has plagued me!Kat's pit: slapped in the face with sneaky burn out that crept up. Struggling with motivation, exhaustion, struggling to show up for work and life and not prepared for the busyness of work. Doing a lot of inner work to let go of perfectionism and high expectations. Peek: giving myself permission to not please, to honour the parts of me that need aloneness and disconnection to fill my cup. It has been healing to let go and disconnect. In celebration of our 5 year business anniversary, we are sharing Our top business lessons!1. Communication is key and own your mistakes. Accountability is leadership. Owning your mistakes doesn't make you less professional, it makes you trustworthy. It signals to your clients, your team, and your community that you're human, that you care, and that you're willing to do better. The truth is, your clients, and your community feel safer around someone who can own their impact.Being direct, firm, assertive and honest in communication. Being able to trust and rely on other people to hand over control. Reliability is SO important.2. People will judge you - do it anyway! The simple truth is that people will judge you, however, when we are led by fear of judgement we restrict our own growth and prevent ourselves from taking opportunities. The purpose is not to be universally liked, it's to take the opportunity whether you're liked or not.You take back your power when you stop trying to please everyone and connect to vulnerability.  3.Time is your greatest commodity and resource, protect it! Your time is sacred, audit your calendar like your life depends on it. Giving away your time without intention is like stealing from your own business. Boundaries are a practice of self-respect.If you want to go fast go alone - if you want to go far, go togetherThe health of our business depends on the health of our friendship, it's hard to separate but leaning into our very different strengths and working to our strengths is helpful. Going into business together has been our smartest investment to date. You can find more of us here: Our Online Psychology practice: Did you know we have online appointments available with our amazing therapists Lisa or Maddie.

#183: Accountability can feel like a loaded word—especially when it comes to our relationships. All too often, we either shoulder all the blame or refuse to see our part in painful patterns. But what if accountability could be an act of self-love rather than self-punishment?In this deeply reflective episode, I explore the liberating side of taking responsibility for our relationship patterns. I share my personal journey of recognizing how I've abandoned myself to keep others comfortable, confused emotional chaos with passion, and chased unavailable people because of unhealed wounds. The most powerful insight? When someone triggers us, they're often holding up a mirror to something we haven't fully addressed within ourselves.This isn't about blaming yourself for others' harmful behaviors. No one deserves abuse or mistreatment. Rather, it's about honestly examining what you've allowed, what you've ignored, and how you might be trying to heal old wounds through your current relationships. Through this compassionate self-reflection, we gain the power to make different choices moving forward.Whether you're struggling with repeated relationship disappointments, trying to break free from toxic patterns, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this episode offers a gentle but transformative perspective on how accountability can set you free. Remember, you're allowed to be both a work in progress and worthy of love right now. Your journey of becoming is just that—a journey, not a destination you've somehow failed to reach.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

Watch Here: https://youtu.be/n8w08TJMPdIAbout the Guest: Fadi Malouf is a strategic buyer, advisor, and capital partner focused on buying, growing, and exiting companies with scale potential. His career began in the fitness and wellness space before shifting into software, tech, and eventually structured M&A. Now the founder of FM Capital and FM Advisory, Fadi partners with operators and investors to fund deals, implement systems, and position companies for high-value exits. He is currently raising a $100M fund and works with over 60 independent advisors across his network.Summary:In this episode of the How to Exit Podcast, Ron sits down with Fadi Malouf, a seasoned M&A strategist and founder of FM Capital and FM Advisory. Fadi shares a refreshingly candid look into his evolution from personal trainer to software company exit, to advising and funding acquisition deals in the lower-middle market. The conversation covers not only how Fadi thinks about deal structure, ownership vs. control, and turnaround risk—but also how his personal values and lived experiences shape the way he buys and builds businesses.Listeners will find this episode especially compelling if they're trying to bridge the gap between being an operator and becoming an investor. Fadi doesn't hold back on his disdain for turnaround deals, his belief in control over ownership, and his obsession with systems, delegation, and operational execution. But what makes this interview resonate is the philosophical undercurrent: businesses are problems to be solved, but you better love solving them.Key Takeaways:Buy with an exit in mind – Fadi learned the hard way that starting a company without thinking about its eventual exit is a recipe for pain and lost value.Turnarounds are not for amateurs – He strongly advises new buyers to avoid turnaround deals unless they have the capital, team, and turnaround-specific experience.Control beats ownership – Fadi prioritizes control over equity, emphasizing results and alignment rather than maximizing ownership at the expense of execution.The real bottleneck is often the founder – Companies under $3M in revenue are frequently hampered by owners who haven't fired themselves from key roles.Invest in systems and delegation early – Fadi emphasizes the importance of building a company that runs without you; hire people smarter than you and get out of the way.Culture kills or scales – If you buy a company with entrenched staff resistant to change, expect a battle. Culture change is slow and hard.Capital without credibility is a deal killer – Bringing money to the table means nothing if the operator can't prove capability or relinquish control.Fall in love with the problem – You'll face chaos, adversity, and setbacks. If you don't love what you're doing, it'll break you.--------------------------------------------------Contact Fadi onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fadimalouf/Website: https://fadimalouf.com/--------------------------------------------------

Owning a smartphone before age 13 is associated with poorer mind health and wellbeing in early adulthood, according to a global study of more than 100,000 young people. The study was published earlier this week in the peer-reviewed Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, and found that 18- to 24-year-olds who had received their first smartphone at age 12 or younger were more likely to report suicidal thoughts, aggression, detachment from reality, poorer emotional regulation, and low self-worth. OECD data in 2018 showed that New Zealand youth used digital devices 42 hours per week on average, compared to 35 hours globally, and studies have shown that children's screen use has increased since then. So how can parents and caregivers manage screen time? Kathryn speaks with Jackie Riach, psychologist and country lead for Triple P New Zealand which provides parenting programmes nationwide.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Renting isn't a waste, but long-term ownership could save you millions—here's how to tell when it's time to make the shift.

You'll learn how to zoom out beyond monthly costs, understand the long-term wealth gap, and see why the first year of ownership might feel hard—but pays off big over time. The Mullens bring data, compassion, and clear examples to help first-time buyers shift their mindset and see the math behind the move.Quote: “If you're telling me it's too expensive to own because it'll cost $1.5 million over 35 years, you've got to answer what rent costs on the other side of that equation.” — Brady MullenHighlights:How to tell when renting is still a smart moveWhy the first year of homeownership feels like a loss—and what happens afterWhat the Mullen brothers' graphs reveal about real cost differences over timeWhy interest rate fears are overblown in 2025How to shift from emotional fear to fact-based planningReferenced Episodes / Resources:Book: Real Decisions: The Financial Impact of Renting and Owning by Dan and Brady MullenConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

What if claiming your victimhood was the first step toward real empowerment? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal coaching moment that completely changed the way I relate to anxiety, trauma, and the fawn response. I'll explore how naming your pain isn't weakness—it's wisdom. And how what looks like self-sabotage is often your body's most intelligent form of self-protection. I dive into:

Can nice guys really finish first in business?My producer, and good friend, Dave Aizer slid into the host seat this week and grilled me about the one edge that never goes out of style: running a company with rock-solid ethics.I walk through how we grew YMP Real Estate from a single duplex to $1.5 billion in assets while raising 11 kids, why I've turned down seven-figure paydays that didn't feel right, and how over-communicating lets me sleep soundly even on the craziest days.

Owning the building may be more powerful than working inside it. That's the revelation Dr. Chiagozie Fawole had when she looked around the hospital and realized true freedom wasn't just about earning more. It was about owning more.  In this high-energy episode, Dr. Felecia Froe pulls back the curtain on how Dr. Fawole, a physician-turned-investor, took her on-call hours and turned them into a real estate portfolio that now funds her freedom. From flipping homes in residency to launching a real estate coaching business for doctors, Dr. Fawole shares how mindset, strategy, and bold action created generational change, and how other professionals can do the same. If you've ever felt the pull to invest but didn't know where to start, this episode is your blueprint. 00:00 – Why This Matters: Physicians and the path to freedom 01:30 – Her First Flip: From med school to real estate contracts 05:40 – Mindset Shift: Leaving scarcity and income ceilings behind 10:15 – The Power of Short-Term Rentals: How Dr. Fawole replaced her income 18:00 – Scaling Up: Moving from residential to commercial deals 24:00 – The “Savvy Docs” Mission: Teaching doctors how to build wealth differently 30:15 – Advice for the Risk-Averse: How to start smart 35:00 – What Wealth Really Means: Ownership, freedom, and choosing your future

Constraints breed innovation—and in LATAM, it's become a competitive edge. In this episode of Owning the Outcome, we hear from Cecilia Hayafuji, who saw cracks in the system and built HAL into an elite HubSpot partner agency. From her early days navigating global tech giants to launching her own firm at 50, our guest has lived through every major shift in the industry—and is now leading the charge into AI-powered growth across Latin America. Cecelia shares how constraints shaped strategy, why quality beats scale, and what makes LATAM one of the most fertile grounds for AI adoption today. If you're thinking about building in uncertain times, scaling with precision, or leading through change—this one's for you.

What's better: FIRE or “flow”? Owning rentals or investing in syndications? Jim Pfeifer and Scott Trench (former CEO of BiggerPockets) go head-to-head in a friendly but fiery debate about cash flow, control, diversification, and what financial freedom really looks like. Scott explains why, even as a FIRE advocate, he can't bring himself to follow the traditional 4% withdrawal rule—and why most retirees don't either. He shares the logic behind his personal portfolio strategy, which includes mostly unlevered Denver real estate, plus a small allocation to syndications and debt funds. Jim brings a counterpoint: for investors who aren't handy or don't want to actively manage properties, passive syndications can offer better risk-adjusted returns and geographic diversification. Together, they explore how goals, personality, and life stage shape the right mix between active and passive investing. If you've ever struggled to decide between owning properties or being a limited partner, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Why most FIRE adherents don't actually draw down their portfolios The psychological and practical barriers to decumulation What makes real estate cash flow feel “spendable” vs. stock dividends Why Scott prefers unlevered rentals in Denver When syndications make sense—even for hands-on investors The power of credit/debt funds (especially inside an IRA) The risks of concentration vs. the benefits of control How your skills, lifestyle, and market shape your investing strategy Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

AI Is a Game Changer—But Not for EveryoneHire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanAI isn't coming—it's already here. But while small business owners can use it to grow and innovate, corporate executives may find themselves being replaced by it. In this episode, Pete Gilfillan explores how AI is reshaping both the entrepreneurial landscape and the corporate world—and what executives need to do now to stay ahead of the curve.In this episode, Pete discusses:Why AI Favors Entrepreneurs From automating repetitive tasks to personalizing customer experiences, AI gives small business owners a cost-effective edge in efficiency and scalability.The Corporate Downsides of AI For large companies, AI often leads to downsizing, skill gaps, and job disruption—especially in traditional white-collar roles.How to Leverage AI in Business Ownership Pete shares real examples of how franchisees and small business owners are already using AI to innovate and outperform competitors.Why Executives Should Be Preparing Now AI is accelerating change. If you're in a white-collar role, it's time to explore options that offer control and security—including franchise ownership.Key Takeaways:AI boosts productivity for business owners—but threatens corporate jobs.Small businesses can adapt quickly; corporations often eliminate roles.Job security is eroding in the age of automation.More white-collar roles are being replaced, not reassigned.Entrepreneurship is a future-proof path.Owning a business gives you control that no employer ever will.Start preparing now—before AI forces the decision for you.“AI is a game changer—and business owners will win.

Brady, a former financial advisor, and Dan, a CPA specializing in real estate tax, share what they learned about the enormous—but often overlooked—financial power of homeownership.They explain why real estate is usually left out of “holistic” financial planning, how renting compares to owning over time, and why most homebuyers are left to figure out these massive decisions alone. The Mullen brothers share insights on tax advantages, inflation protection, and how your first mortgage payment will be the worst one you ever make (yes, that's good news). This is a must-listen episode for anyone who's been told that renting is the smarter choice.Quote"You can buy 30 years of shelter at today's prices—and the bank will give you a loan to do it." – Brady MullenHighlightsWhy financial advisors can't give you real estate adviceThe financial industry's blind spot when it comes to shelterThe difference between being sold real estate and being educated about itHow landlords pass hidden costs onto rentersWhy renting might seem cheaper—but costs more over timeUnderstanding inflation and your mortgage as a financial toolThe truth about maintenance, taxes, and “rent being easier”How owning gives you control over your housing costsWhy your first mortgage payment is your most expensive—and what happens afterReal estate's role in building long-term net worthConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Why Clarity, Not Confidence, Is the Key to Your Next Level   This week on She Talks Business, I'm joined by the extraordinary Nick Nanton—someone who's built a career on doing work that only he can do. Nick is a 22-time Emmy Award–winning director and producer who has created more than 60 documentaries and worked with some of the most iconic names in the world—think Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Larry King, Magic Johnson, Dolly Parton, and more. His films have streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and have even taken us into the heart of human trafficking raids in Haiti. He's also a bestselling author, gold record-earning songwriter, and host of the docuseries In Case You Didn't Know. But today's conversation isn't about celebrity. It's about clarity. We dig into the mindset behind Nick's success, the self-doubt he's faced, the comparison traps he's escaped, and how he's learned to identify and operate from what Dan Sullivan calls a “unique ability.” This concept from Dan is something we both operate our business and structure our time with this in mind.  If you've ever wondered whether you're good enough, ready enough, or "doing it right," this episode is for you. Dealing With Imposter Syndrome At The Top Yes, even people with 22 Emmys have moments where they wonder if they belong. Nick shares how imposter syndrome has followed him into rooms filled with billionaires and why reframing those moments has been essential to his growth. You'll hear how that shift can quiet the noise and help you step fully into your own potential. Tune Out The Comparison Gene We all do it—scrolling, spiraling, stacking ourselves up against someone else's highlight reel. This part of the conversation is a refreshing reminder that comparison isn't just unproductive, it's often a complete illusion. If you've been feeling behind, this will help you realign and reset. Tune Into Your Unique Ability What are you world-class at? Nick and I talk about the Dan Sullivan concept of “unique ability”—the zone where your passion, skill, and natural genius collide—and how it takes time to tune in and prioritize it as you grow your business. Nick shares how identifying his unique ability helped him stop chasing opportunities that didn't fit, and start building a business around what only he can do.  Whether you're leading a brand, running a business, or simply trying to get clear on your next step, this episode is a reminder that you already have everything you need. You don't have to be everything to everyone. You just have to know what's uniquely yours and be brave enough to start with what you know, your experience, and then build from there.   What's In This Episode Moving beyond celebrity to focus on excellence and skills Approach to interviews: creating space for vulnerability and authentic conversations  Creating valuable, enjoyable experiences for clients and collaborators  The importance of sharing foundational knowledge and starting “at the beginning” Common hangups in personal branding (impostor syndrome, undervaluing personal gifts) Navigating creative industries: knowing your place and supplementing with experts The importance of self-awareness in professional growth Opportunities and challenges of integrating AI in filmmaking, songwriting, and business   What To Do Next Visit lisalarter.com/e187 for all resources from this episode.

Do you compare your current decisions with an ideal outcome that did not happen? Today, I am flying solo to dive deep into the concept of comparison and its impact on our happiness and decision-making. I will explore how we often measure ourselves against idealized outcomes or imagined scenarios rather than focusing on our unique journeys. I will also introduce the “rewind button” exercise, encouraging you to reflect on your past decisions and consider whether you would make the same choice again, armed with the knowledge you have now.  This episode of The Greatness Machine will emphasize the importance of owning our choices, even when the outcomes aren't what we expected. This will also highlight how cultivating gratitude for the lessons learned along the way can transform our perspective and foster personal growth.  Topics include: The downside of comparing yourself to idealized or imagined outcomes The rewind button exercise for gaining clarity on past decisions Owning your choices, regardless of the final outcome Cultivating gratitude in hindsight for both the challenges and successes Practicing conscious leadership by being aware of your decisions and their impact Focusing on the present moment and maximizing its potential And other topics… Sponsored by: Constant Contact: Try Constant Contact free for 30 days at constantcontact.com.
