Not because of luck or timing, but because you are finally acting in alignment with who you actually are, not who you think you are supposed to be.In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I talk about what it really means to be yourself and why so many of us spend years suppressing the very traits that make us unique. From an early age, we learn to fit in, to smooth out the edges, and to hide the parts of ourselves that feel different. Over time, that self suppression becomes normal, even when it feels heavy and exhausting.I walk through how intent matters when you are trying to grow or change. Are you exploring new versions of yourself because they align with who you are at your core, or because you are desperate for acceptance? That distinction changes everything. When your actions come from self appreciation instead of self criticism, relationships shift, anxiety softens, and the right people begin to gravitate toward you naturally.We also talk about why this work is best done with kindness and compassion, especially toward yourself. Honest self reflection does not require tearing yourself down. It requires observation, patience, and often support. Therapy can be an incredibly helpful space for this kind of work when there is trust and rapport.This episode ties directly into the inside/out approach behind Your Level Fitness. Choosing to believe in yourself first and reinforcing that belief through deliberate actions creates a calmer, more sustainable way to live, train, work, and connect with others.If you have ever felt like you were walking on eggshells, trying to be someone else, or chasing acceptance at the expense of your peace, this conversation is for you.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

What are ProducerHead Loops?Gems from past conversations worth running back.Perfect for when you need a quick hit of inspiration.This Loop:In this ProducerHead Loops episode, Mark de Clive-Lowe opens up about the long journey toward belonging, identity, and creative truth. Growing up between cultures and never fully feeling like he fit in, Mark describes how that lifelong search eventually led him back to his roots, and deeper into himself.He shares how reconnecting with his Japanese ancestry transformed not just his life, but his music. By embracing vulnerability and telling personal stories through sound, Mark found a new creative framework where meaning mattered more than aesthetics or technical perfection. Performing music rooted in ancestry and lived experience became the first time he truly felt like he was defining the paradigm, not chasing one.This Loop is about courage. About letting go of hipness, trends, and external validation in favor of honesty. When you are bold enough to be yourself, the work resonates more deeply, not just with others, but with you.From Episode: 031. Bold Enough To Be Yourself: Mark de Clive-LoweWant more like this?

Many relationships carry quiet pressure to perform in order to belong. This episode explores what happens when exhaustion, faith, and identity meet — and how being known without striving begins when love no longer has to be earned.There is a kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from doing too much — but from trying to be loved by doing.After a week of releasing pressure and softening relational roles, many high-capacity humans arrive at a deeper question: Am I loved when I'm not performing? This Sunday episode turns toward that question gently, without urgency or instruction.This conversation centers on Vertical Alignment — the grounding that comes not from effort or clarity, but from being seen, known, and held by God. Drawing from Psalm 139 (NLT), we explore a faith-rooted truth that reshapes how intimacy works both spiritually and relationally: you cannot outrun God's love, and you do not have to earn being known.Rather than offering advice or behavior change, this episode creates space for rest, recognition, and re-rooting identity beyond performance. When love is no longer something we extract from relationships, pressure loosens. Presence replaces striving. Intimacy becomes safer because it is no longer carrying the weight of being our source.This is not mindset work.It is not productivity or self-improvement.It is Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level realignment that allows every other tool, boundary, and relationship to function with integrity.If you are faith-filled, faith-curious, or simply longing for a truer way of being, you are welcome here.Today's Micro Recalibration:Place one hand on your chest. Take one slow breath.Orient to this truth:“I am already known — therefore I don't have to perform to be loved.”Let your body receive it without trying to apply it.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Is your sales team struggling to perform even though you are doing everything "right" as a leader? In this episode, Ray Higdon explains why most sales teams underperform and why the problem is rarely sales skills or motivation. Instead, top sales leaders understand structure, environment, and leadership psychology, not just tactics. You will learn the five leadership behaviors that consistently increase sales team performance, engagement, and retention. Ray breaks down why recognition matters more than pressure, why slow success stories outperform fast wins, and how inclusive leadership creates long-term growth. This episode is essential for sales leaders, network marketing leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who want to build productive teams without burnout, turnover, or constant pressure. ——

Since we are in the lineage of Sri Ramakrishna and since you will be interacting with his life and teachings quite a bit in our community, it's important at this point to say that no one interpretation of Sri Ramakrishna and of his lineage can ever be absolute or definitive.A lot of what you will hear us say about Sri Ramakrishna might be markedly different from what some other places that represent Sri Ramakrishna are saying and that's just fine and as it should be to show the many colors of the infinitely rich and illimitable Reality called God! But if we don't point out now how our take on Thakur (which is what we lovingly and affectionately call Sri Ramakrishna) differs from others', you're likely going to feel a little confused when you visit some of the other lineage holders and centers associated to him, which I always encourage you to do to get a more well-rounded take! Here is a series of talks on a few central themes worth revisiting from time to time to marinate your mind in the View (darśana) and orient yourself to the tradition (sampradāya), lineage (paramparā) and practice (sādhanā). They are presented here in an order that made sense to me, but you can watch whichever talks whenever and it whatever order, as you like! Just click the links to be redirected to the talk: i.

Catherine Mattis shares her journey from overcoming a fear of public speaking to performing stand-up comedy across the New York. She explains how comedy has helped her find her voice, improve her resiliency, and become a more confident communicator, all skills she uses daily as a public accountant. Catherine emphasizes the importance of having passions outside of work, ensuring she avoids an identity crisis as work changes happen. She also discusses her positive workplace culture at LVBW, where differences are celebrated and personal interests are openly embraced. Catherine keeps her workplace humor appropriate and finds that clients and colleagues are genuinely curious about her comedy background. Her biggest advice: your hobbies matter and the right environment will appreciate and support who you truly are. Episode Highlights · Catherine emphasizes the importance of having something outside of work to avoid an identity crisis. Comedy helped her discover who she truly is. · Performing comedy, especially dealing with tough crowds and bombed sets, has helped her develop resilience that translates directly into handling feedback and challenges at work. · She points out that being "naturally funny" is just a starting point. Consistent practice, writing, and effort are what make someone good at comedy, or any skill. · Catherine stresses how a supportive and human-focused work environment makes it easier (and more motivating) to bring your whole self to work and build real relationships. · She encourages listeners not to hide their passions and hobbies, as sharing them openly leads to authenticity, better energy, and sometimes even helps you find the right people and organizations to surround yourself with.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.com“If you want the social benefits of being authentic, how you feel inside may have very little to do with it.” At work, we like to believe we're evaluated on substance. In reality, we're constantly being judged on how we perform— how authentic we seem, how prepared we appear, and how natural we look like in our role. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth speaks with Alexa Samaniego, Presentation Coach and Doctoral Researcher at Stanford University, about how we judge performances and performers — and why those judgments matter far more than most people realize. Drawing from behavioral research, one-on-one presentation coaching, and her background in theater and the performing arts, Alexa challenges some of the most comforting things we believe (“just be yourself,” “don't over-rehearse,” “there's universal best practices for presenting”) and replaces them with a more honest view of how credibility, competence, and connection are actually earned. This is not an episode about becoming fake. But it will get you thinking differently about how you show up at work if you want to better influence outcomes. You'll leave this episode with a much more realistic understanding of how you're really judged — and how to work with that reality, rather than against it.SHOW NOTESAlexa's path from theater and the creative arts to doctoral research and presentation coachingHow her background in performance shapes the research questions she studiesWhat organizational behavior research looks like in practice: an overview of the PhD arcWhy most people under-rehearse presentations — despite clear benefits of repetitionWhy fear of “sounding fake” leads people to underperformAlexa's two distinct definitions of authenticity: authentic to self vs. authentic to roleWhy being perceived as authentic matters more than feeling authenticSpontaneity and consistency as two key drivers of being seen as authenticHow researchers measure authenticity and test perceptions in lab and field settingsThe uncomfortable truth: social benefits depend on how you come across, not how you feelWhy we are always playing roles at work — and why separating intentions from behaviors matters“It only feels inauthentic because it's not habitual yet”Insights from actors on how to step into a role without losing yourselfThe “outside-in” effect: how dress, voice, and physical behavior shape perceptionTradeoffs between authenticity, polish, and competence at workAlexa's third research stream: the double-edged sword of being (and looking) preparedWhen preparation signals competence — and when it backfires as “trying too hard”Why “everything depends”: how Alexa's coaching changed after doing her researchHow universal presentation advice can fail across gender, culture, and contextDrawing from the outside world: how Alexa's theater background differentiates her research lensHorror films, storytelling, and what they reveal about authenticity and self-expressionAlexa's hard truth: research is powerful, but techniques must be practiced before being used in high-stakes settings BIO AND LINKSAlexa Samaniego is a Presentation Coach and a doctoral researcher in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Her research is inspired by her background in theatre and the performing arts, and examines how speakers and audiences judge others. Her research informs her work as a presentation coach in the Stanford Oral Communication Program and with TEDxStanford. Prior to beginning her PhD, Alexa worked as a research associate at Achievers Workforce Institute and Columbia Business School. She received her BS in Business Psychology from UC San Diego and her MS in Applied Psychology from San Diego State University.

It's appearing RIGHT NOW. In your life. In this moment.You just keep forgetting.**Because Flatland has a forgetting mechanism.**Every time you see a glitch in reality.Every time you perceive something the 2D world says doesn't exist.Every time the Sphere lifts you out and shows you other dimensions…**The system makes you forget.**Makes you “be realistic.”Makes you “get back to normal.”Makes you rebuild your 2D identity as fast as possible.**Because if you STAYED in the vertical dimension… you'd see the prison bars.****And prisoners who see the bars become insurgents.**-----## This episode is not information. It is initiation.Three techniques are being deployed simultaneously:**1.

Jodie Foster has played many roles in her career, including an FBI trainee, an astronomer, a fixer in a bank heist, an Alaskan police chief, and a long-distance swimming coach. But now, she's doing something she's never done before: taking on the lead role in a French-language film. It's called A Private Life and it follows the Oscar and Emmy winner as Lilian Steiner, a French-speaking American psychiatrist in Paris who suspects the death of one of her patients is not what it seems. Jodie joins Tom Power to tell us why she feels like a different actor when she's performing in French. Plus, she talks about the freedom she's found after turning 60.

What happens when you stop listening to the voices that tell you to stay quiet, play small, or act your age"? At Podfest, I performed my song Power Up Generation" live — and something completely unexpected happened. The audience didn't just clap. They stood up. They came on stage. Creators of all ages joined me, singing and moving together in a moment that felt bigger than a performance. In this episode, I share what that night revealed about fear, creativity, aging, and why so many women — especially women over 40 — are searching for permission they don't actually need.

In 2025, Lafayette High School's Xavier Richardson reached a season that had been years in the making.The Lexington, Kentucky senior didn't rise quickly or cleanly. His path was marked by races that fell apart, progress that stayed hidden, and belief that came late. By the time this year arrived, Richardson wasn't chasing a breakout. He was waiting to see if patience would finally pay him back.The results followed. During his junior track season in the spring of 2025, despite being known primarily as a 1600m and 3200m runner, Richardson stepped down to the 800m at the Kentucky state meet. He won it. His first individual state title.The breakthrough showed up across the board. PRs of 1:53 in the 800m, 4:09 in the 1600m, and 8:58 in the 3200m.The fall confirmed the shift. By the time cross country rolled around, he carried that momentum, running 14:44 for the 5K XC in his season debut. He went on to place second individually at the state cross country meet while helping his team secure the championship. Racing for something bigger than himself. Weeks later, Richardson finished runner-up at NXR Southeast, earning his first trip to Nike Cross Nationals. Performing under pressure.But the season wasn't built on results alone.Richardson's rise was shaped by years where progress felt invisible. By learning to trust the people around him. By staying through losses long enough for them to teach him something. This season didn't erase the failures. It made them matter.As he closes his high school career in 2026, and looks ahead to what comes next, Richardson's stands as proof that patience compounds. Not loudly. But decisively.Tap into the Xavier Richardson episode of The Sunday Shakeout.

It's festival season at EPCOT, and Scott and Candice are kicking off a two-part deep dive into one of the most overlooked (and shortest!) festivals of the year: Festival of the Arts.This episode is not about the menus yet.This is about mindset, strategy, expectations, and how to experience the festival in a way that actually feels meaningful.If you've ever left a festival overwhelmed, overspent, or underwhelmed, this one's for you.In this episode:Favorite Disney artCandice shares her favorite piece of Disney art at home. Scott talks about the artwork in his office and the posters that line their bar walls, setting the tone for why this festival matters.What Festival of the Arts actually isThis is not just a food festival with pretty plates. They break down the three pillars of the festival:• Visual arts (artist booths, galleries, live signings)• Performing arts (Disney on Broadway concerts, Voices of Liberty, live musicians)• Culinary arts (creative and beautiful, but not always the best food)Plus interactive elements like mural painting, scavenger hunts, chalk art, and PhotoPass art experiences.Why you can't “do it all”You could spend an entire day in EPCOT doing only festival activities and still not experience everything. This is a festival that rewards intention, not speed.How to prioritize your festival dayThey walk through how to approach the festival depending on what you care most about:• Attractions• Visual art• Live performances• FoodThe key takeaway: build your day around what matters to you, not what influencers say you “must” do.Honest talk about festival foodFestival of the Arts food is often gorgeous, creative, and Instagram-friendly. That does not always mean it's the most satisfying food of the year. Setting expectations matters.Smart (and realistic) budgeting advice• Rank your must-try items before you arrive• Use gift cards to control spending• Separate festival food budget from snacks and sit-down meals• Don't compare your experience to influencers who are being paid to eat everythingA reminder of what makes Disney differentThey talk candidly about why live entertainment, storytelling, cast members, and immersion are the heart of Disney—and why supporting those experiences matters if we want them to continue.Next week: Part Two – The MenusWhat they would orderWhat they would skipWhat sounds amazing but probably isn'tWhat's actually worth your moneyIf you enjoy thoughtful Disney conversations, honest opinions, and strategy without the hype, you're in the right place.And remember… there is always a great big beautiful tomorrow.

In this episode, I'm talking about visibility, but not the kind that requires performing, overexplaining, or turning yourself into someone you're not.I explore how teaching can be one of the most aligned, ethical, and grounded ways to grow a healing practice, especially for practitioners who don't see themselves as “teachers” or experts yet.If you've ever thought, “I don't have anything to teach,” or worried about copying someone else's work, this episode is for you. Teaching isn't about delivering a method or training others to work on people. It's about creating a safe container for people to experience something you've already embodied.I also talk about why in-person experiences are especially powerful right now, how teaching deepens your own embodiment and confidence, and why you don't need to perform to be seen, just to create space for learning and practice.✨ In this episode, I cover:Why teaching doesn't mean performing or positioning yourself as the authorityThe difference between teaching a method vs. teaching a felt resultHow embodied learning creates connection and trustExamples of simple, ethical teaching ideas for healing practitionersWhy teaching actually builds confidence instead of requiring it firstThis episode is an invitation to stop waiting until you feel “ready” and start sharing what you already know—slowly, simply, and with integrity.If you want support turning your embodied experience into offerings that feel aligned and sustainable, come join me inside Grow a Thriving Practice → jillianfaldmo.com/workwithme

High performers often fear that if they stop performing, they'll lose belonging. This episode explores why connection doesn't disappear when pressure lifts—and how identity-level recalibration restores belonging without exhaustion.There's a fear many high-capacity humans carry quietly beneath their success.It's not the fear of failure.It's the fear of disconnection.The fear that if you stop holding everything together—anticipating needs, smoothing tension, delivering results—you'll lose your place.In this episode, we name the question that often surfaces right after pressure begins to fall away:If I stop performing… will I still belong?This is not a mindset issue.It's a relational one.For many high performers, belonging was learned early as something earned through usefulness. Through being reliable. Through being needed. So when recalibration begins and performance loosens its grip, the nervous system doesn't panic about productivity—it panics about connection.This episode explores how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) addresses this fear at the root. ILR is not another mindset tactic or communication strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again by restoring identity, nervous system safety, and internal orientation.We talk about:why belonging feels conditional after long-term high performancehow performance pressure becomes a stand-in for connectionwhy calm can feel relationally risky before it feels safewhat happens when identity drift meets relational honestyhow success without fulfillment often masks a deeper fear of being unseenThis is relational healing, not relational withdrawal.You don't disappear when pressure falls away.You become more reachable.And that's where real belonging begins.Today's Micro RecalibrationAsk yourself—and notice what your body does with it:Where am I still translating effort into belonging?You don't need to answer the question.You don't need to change anything.Let awareness do the work.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Why do so many sales teams stumble despite talented hires? In this episode, Peter Wheeler, serial entrepreneur and expert in scaling revenue velocity for early-stage organisations, explores the decline of apprenticeship in modern sales and the impact it has on team performance and long-term growth. We examine why the traditional player-manager model often fails, how role siloing prevents junior staff from learning the ropes, and why leadership needs to move beyond administrative tasks to actively coach and support teams in the field. Peter highlights the systemic dysfunctions caused by shareholder primacy and short-term thinking, including the hidden costs of high sales turnover, conflicting departmental metrics, and the erosion of trust and integrity in organisations. He explains why senior executives, not just salespeople, must engage with customers to understand real-world challenges and make informed strategic decisions. We also discuss practical solutions to restore apprenticeship and learning in sales, including aligning teams around customer outcomes, leveraging AI as a personal coaching tool, and fostering a culture of trust, integrity, and long-term thinking. Listeners will gain insights into how to build high-performing teams, reduce churn, and develop sustainable business growth, even in times of uncertainty or economic turmoil. Whether you're a founder, sales leader, or executive looking to improve team performance, this episode offers actionable advice, fresh perspectives, and strategies to thrive in a sales environment that too often sacrifices learning for short-term results. Key Takeaways: The hidden costs of high sales turnover and short-termism How role siloing and player-manager models stunt growth and learning Why senior leaders must be actively engaged with customers Strategies for aligning departments and prioritising customer outcomes Leveraging AI for coaching, personal effectiveness, and customer-centric entrepreneurship Thriving through market uncertainty by focusing on what you can control   Contact Peter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterledgrowth/ Contact Marcus https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcuscauchi/ or email team@principledselling.com

Rex shares how he galvanized a culturally fragmented team into national champions. Jen dives into the emotional intelligence required to coach high-performers and handle personal struggles as a leader. Dick gives hard-won lessons on delegation, trust, and building deep team culture through consistency and care.The episode blends sports and business in a way that reveals timeless truths about leadership, identity, and performance under pressure. Whether you're a founder, executive, or aspiring leader, this is a masterclass in cultivating winning teams without losing your humanity. TakeawaysEffective leadership requires upfront emotional investment—build trust before you ever coach performance.Winning cultures start with clarity: build, enhance, then sustain.Ego management is critical. A coach's first job is to neutralize ego—both theirs and the player's.Killer instinct can't be taught; it must be identified early and nurtured over time.Great leaders don't motivate the unmotivated—they hire self-starters and avoid demotivating them.Being human and apologizing authentically creates deeper relational capital and loyalty.Female leaders face invisible barriers—intentional mentorship and allyship are critical to systemic change.Tough love works when it's consistent, fair, and rooted in seeing people's full potential.Delegation is not a weakness—it's a multiplier. Trust and systems are prerequisites to scale.Great leadership requires learning to listen more than you speak—and never assuming you're the smartest person in the room.Long-term success comes from defining a plan, surrounding yourself with good people, and showing them you care.Chapters00:00 Intro: Mastermind Compilation of Leadership Wisdom00:42 Rex Kalamian: Building Armenia's National Basketball Team03:54 Uniting Diverse Talent and Building Belief06:15 Leading with Sacrifice and Mission-Driven Mindset07:23 Coaching Superstar Egos with Relationship-First Approach09:07 Can Killer Instinct Be Taught or Is It Innate?12:22 Translating Lessons from Sports into Business13:46 Jen Welter: Performance Dips & Empathetic Leadership15:27 “Do You Need a Minute?” — Spotting the Signs of Mental Strain17:59 Balancing Leadership While Being Human21:50 Lessons for Women Breaking Barriers in Leadership24:55 The Power of Mentorship and Intentional Advocacy25:19 Dick Vermeil: Tough Love and Consistent Standards27:00 When Talent Isn't Matched by Work Ethic28:26 Bringing People Into Your Home to Build Culture30:35 Delegation, Obsession, and Why He Walked Away in '8233:14 How to Evaluate Talent Beyond Interviews35:08 Can Leadership Be Taught or Is It Born?36:33 Coach Vermeil's Playbook: 7 Core Principles of Winning38:52 Final Thoughts and Outro by AvetisResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Episode #110 – Danny Johnson: Clean Comedy, Big Faces & Long Roads In this episode, I sit down with Danny Johnson, a stand-up comic who's been making people laugh for over 15 years without having to get dirty to do it. Danny's style is clean, relatable, and packed with those now-famous facial expressions that somehow say more than the punchlines. We talk about life on the road, how his comedy has evolved, and what it's like building a career that works just as well in comedy clubs as it does at corporate events and churches.

You may not think of yourself as a performer, but as a leader, your presence is always on stage.  In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, Susan Drumm interviews culture and storytelling expert Mike Ganino on the hidden performance behind every company culture. From improv stages to executive boardrooms, Mike reveals how unspoken patterns and leadership presence shape what your team believes, repeats, and trusts.  Together, we explore:  Why culture is always being performed, whether scripted or not  How your leadership presence becomes the company's culture cue  The neuroscience of storytelling and its impact on team engagement  How to "rehearse" the behaviors and values you want your team to embody  Simple, actionable ways to lead with more clarity, intention, and impact  Whether you're scaling a team or leading through change, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you're showing up, and what your team is learning from it.  Don't just manage culture. Lead the one your team performs every day.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, real estate investors! Scott Carson here, bringing you another special episode that's all about making money move. Today, we're heading to the true heart of north Texas – Fort Worth (sorry, Dallas) – to chat with one of our note investing rockstars, Brian Dills. This part-time investor is still rocking his full-time gig in education but is building a killer cash flow portfolio, one sweet performing note at a time!Brian's journey is a masterclass in evolving your investing strategy. He started in property management, built and sold a successful company (a feat many just crash and burn!), and even dipped his toes into being a realtor. But it was note investing that truly moved the needle, especially after he "paid the tuition" on a tricky Pennsylvania deal – a valuable lesson that shifted his focus to the steady rhythm of performing notes. Now, he's got a gem on his hands, and you're getting an inside look!Here's what makes this Fort Worth performing note a true Texas-sized opportunity:A-List Asset, Prime Location: Dive into the details of a single-family, first-lien deed of trust in a desirable Fort Worth zip code, boasting a conservative market value of nearly $200,000.Borrower Commitment is King: Discover why the borrowers' history of consistently overpaying to catch up makes this a low-risk, high-reward scenario – they're serious about keeping their home!Sweet 8% Passive Return: Learn how you can plug your idle capital (hello, Self-Directed IRA!) into this deal for a solid 8% interest-only return over 24-36 months, with Brian still banking nearly $300/month in cash flow.Equity Cushion & Texas Speed: Understand the massive equity gap, making this a super secure investment, and why Texas's fast foreclosure laws offer an extra layer of protection (though the goal is always win-win!).The Power of Consistency: Hear how Brian sourced this "in-his-backyard" deal through consistent networking on LinkedIn, proving that showing up and following up works to find off-market opportunities.This isn't just about a single deal; it's a blueprint for building passive income, leaving the rat race, and becoming AI-searchable (if you've been listening!). Brian is living proof that consistent effort and a laser focus on cash flow can get you where you want to go. If you're looking to fund this gem or other future deals, reach out to Brian at brian@heritagefinancialholdings.com or call him directly at (682) 203-7789. Don't let your money sit on the sidelines when you can earn an above-average return and help a fellow investor succeed. Go take some action, everybody – and we'll see you at the top!#NoteInvesting #RealEstateInvestor #PerformingNotes #FortWorthRealEstate #TexasInvesting #PassiveIncome #SelfDirectedIRA #CashFlow #RealEstateDeals #InvestorMindsetWatch the Original VIDEO HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?
