In today's episode, I'm having a conversation with Peter Conti, author of the bestselling book, Only When I Step on It. Peter shared his incredible journey hiking over 2,000 miles of the Appalachian Trail, despite suffering from severe, chronic pain due to a shattered hip and crushed nerve received from a motorcycle accident. Inspired by the movie "Wild," Peter turned his pain into power, divided the trail into manageable sections, and adapted every step of the way. His memoir is a beacon of hope for anyone dealing with chronic pain, emphasizing that small steps and persistence can lead to monumental achievements. Here are the top three Better Health Maxims to live by in this episode:Embrace and Adapt to Your Limitations: Inspired by Peter Conti's journey on the Appalachian Trail, it's crucial to acknowledge your physical and emotional boundaries. Focus on what you can do rather than what you can't. Break down large, overwhelming goals into smaller, manageable steps, and don't be afraid to modify your approach as needed. Conti's method of section hiking rather than pushing for long, strenuous days exemplifies this maxim in practice.Persist Through Challenges with Flexibility and Ingenuity: Flexibility and problem-solving are key elements of overcoming adversity. For Peter Conti, the shift from traditional long treks to a structured, personal system of hiking highlights how ingenuity can turn seemingly impossible tasks into achievable feats. Whether you're managing chronic pain, like Conti did, or facing any formidable life challenge, persistence paired with creative solutions can lead to success.Find Simple Joys in Focused Activities: Conti found healing through the simplicity of hiking, an activity requiring focus and offering a break from modern life's complexities. This maxim encourages you to seek out activities that provide mental clarity and physical engagement. The act of walking in nature, rhythmic and purposeful, can be both therapeutic and fulfilling. Whether it's paced walking for older adults or any other mindful activity, finding joy in simplicity greatly enhances your overall well-being.Tune in for an inspiring story of resilience and self-healing.Get your free gift, 7 Simple Steps to Help Seniors Stay Healthy, from Peter by clicking here.

Description: Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy. In this thought-provoking episode, Paul and Chris delve into the profound concepts of individual agency, self-sabotage, and the power of alignment between our inner experiences and external realities. They explore strategies for breaking free from limiting beliefs, overcoming procrastination, and harnessing the transformative potential within each of us. With real-life examples and actionable insights, this episode equips listeners with the tools to become the architects of their personal operating systems and achieve their most audacious goals. Key Takeaways: The Banister Principle: Our beliefs shape our reality, and by shifting our mindset, we can break through self-imposed limitations and accomplish seemingly impossible feats. Self-Verification Loop: Our thoughts drive our actions, which reinforce our beliefs, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. To effect change, we must interrupt this loop and align our experiences with our desired outcomes. Overcoming Self-Sabotage: Procrastination and self-sabotage often stem from misaligned goals or a desire for dopamine-driven stimulation. By identifying our true desires and managing distractions, we can stay focused and motivated. Empowering Teams and Building Culture: Effective leadership involves creating a shame-free environment, empowering teams through mindful communication, and prioritizing effectiveness over being right. Authenticity and Transformation: Letting go of the ego and embracing authenticity allows us to access a deeper sense of purpose and facilitates profound personal transformation. Coaching for Alignment: Transformative coaching provides a supportive framework for individuals to confront their limiting beliefs, align their inner and outer experiences, and achieve remarkable personal and professional growth. ► Resources How can I help you?

Maybe you’re the next. Today’s guest is Adam Gilbert, the president of The Firm Commercial, where he leads a team of agents specializing in commercial real estate sales, leasing, land acquisition, development, government relations, and value-added land entitlement development deals. Any real estate agent developer or investor will generate a consistent income through positioning themselves to receive a continuous flow of deals that are coming across their desk. Adam has a unique way of doing this in the realm of commercial real estate as discussed during this episode. And we also dive deep on how to become a real estate developer covering details of a few recent development deals and we also touch on the Palm Springs, California Real Estate market. So, I was doing some research for our show here and I found that you’ve recently exited your vacation rental business. So, I’d like to begin right at that point if we could, and maybe you could touch on how you built the business, how it operated at scale, and then what was the ultimate reasoning that led you to selling and exiting. Adam: Sure. So, quick background, I’m born and raised here in Palm Springs, and I left for school. I came back in about 2011, which was an interesting time in the market for a variety of reasons. But that summer, I had stayed in this new thing called an Airbnb in 2011, Washington, DC. We had spent the summer in New York and my wife was like, “We’re going to spend the night in someone’s room at their house? This is crazy.” I’m like, “We did it. This is the future, honey. This is going to be amazing.” And so, when I moved back to Palm Springs, there we have like a long history of vacation, rental properties for 50-60 years, but not on the platform of Airbnb. So, I was one of the ones who got just a couple of condos on the platform and they just started crushing. Absolutely amazing because this whole new marketplace of people were looking for properties on Airbnb. So, it kind of just grew organically. I was like, “Okay. Well, I’ve got a housekeeping service, I’ve got a handyman, I know how to do these reservations, and we just built this business.” By the time 2018 came around, I had 35 full-time properties. We had like, 50 around the time Coachella came. It was a great business. It’s a very labor-intensive business and it takes a lot of time, and it’s holidays and all that kind of stuff. So, at that point in my real estate investing career, it was just a little bit too much. And so, I made a deal with TurnKey, who’s a venture-backed vacation rental company out of Austin, Texas and they were acquiring small companies like mine at the time. I made an exit and focus my attention on other ventures. Dan: Okay, so was it more of a freedom thing? Or was there some timing and pricing that also made it worthwhile? Adam: There were a few factors in there. Just the perils of running a business, partners, all that kind of stuff. I think it was more timing. I had to decide. It was that point when I had 35 properties, I would have needed to invest in the business, in terms of employees. I did some calculations, I wasn’t going to make any money again until I got 75 properties, and I’m like, “Okay. Is this what I want to spend my time doing?” So, it’s kind of an 80/20 principle thing of “Where am I going to focus my time to have the best ROI?” Dan: Got you. So, what’s been the focus of your career? Since 2018, you exited, you jettisoned the responsibilities, which was kind of what I was expecting an answer there. So, what’s been the focus since then? Adam: Yeah. So, mostly since then, it’s been building of my real estate brokerage, both commercial and residential, here. It’s mostly commercial, but on the residential side, I do specialize in short-term vacation rentals, which the Palm Springs Market is well known for and has been absolutely blasting since COVID. Palm Springs has been a great market since that’s happened and then, I’m also working on my own deals and I have a little niche in value-add entitlement deals and zone changes. And so, I spent a lot of my time kind of doing that and entitlement work.

One of the most common misconceptions people have when it comes to real estate is they need to be an expert before they can start. Today’s guest can attest it’s definitely not true. In this episode, Tom interviewed expert real estate investor and coach, host of “Your Do Over” and “Epic Real Estate Investing,” podcasts, and author of the book “Do Over,” Matt Theriault. From earning a 7-figure income, Matt once found himself earning just $7/hour bagging groceries. Fortunately, he was able to recreate the former life he enjoyed and achieve financial freedom through real estate (even though he knew nothing about it when he first started). If you want to give real estate investing a try but unsure if you have what it takes, this episode is for you. Nothing like learning from someone who started from square one at 34 and successfully reclaimed the financial freedom he once enjoyed through real estate. RESOURCES: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.

Courage isn't about being fearless. Courage is about feeling the fear but ‘saddling up anyway.' When Peter Conti bought his first duplex, he admits that he was shaking. But Peter knew that he had to make a change to life the life he wanted, to be free from the humiliation of a boss who reprimanded him for drinking coffee meant for ‘customers only.' Peter was highly motivated to leave his job as a mechanic and become a multifamily real estate investor, and that deep desire for financial freedom propelled him to take action. Peter went from auto mechanic to self-made millionaire in just over three years, using creative financing to invest in both residential and commercial real estate. He started small, buying a duplex, a couple of 4-units, and a 12- and 24-unit before working his way up to shopping centers and 300-unit complexes. He has mentored thousands of investors all over the world and supported many more through his books on multifamily and commercial real estate investing. Today, Peter sits down with me to describe the moment he decided to take charge of his own financial destiny. He walks us through that first investment in a duplex and the meeting at Chucky E. Cheese that inspired him to invest in a mentor. Peter offers advice around mitigating risk via exit clauses and acquiring property through seller financing or the use of a master lease. Listen in to understand Peter's unique approach to recovering from a serious motorcycle accident and what he learned in the process that applies to multifamily investing specifically—and life in general!

During his ten year prison sentence, Dan “Tito” Davis penned a 700-page manuscript, which chronicled his thirteen year period on the run from the United States federal government. His writing provided a glimpse into staying alive and out of prison while mixing it up with major drug cartels in Colombia and Mexico; crossing the Darien Gap the worlds most dangerous passageway, sneaking into Germany, getting interrogated in Cuba, and building a resort in Venezuela the same time Hugo Chavez was calling President Bush “the devil” at the United Nations. And while Davis’s exploits were stunning, there was only one problem—he wasn’t a writer. While living in a halfway house in Wyoming, Davis met with writer Peter Conti and quickly tapped him to “write his story the right way.” For a year the two worked diligently to turn Davis’s raw material into an action-packed memoir, which includes Davis’s life before he went on the lam—how he was making $200,000 a week in college manufacturing White Crosses (speed) and distributing them across the country via the Bandidos motorcycle gang; when he was trafficking thousands of pounds of high grade pot through tunnels and on horse trailers; and how he was set up by his childhood friend.
