What does it take to run a vertically integrated multifamily operation—and do it well? This week, we're joined by Michael Root, Co-Founder and Strategic Leader of Root Property Group, who breaks down the systems, strategies, and lessons behind managing nearly 1,000 doors in Chicago's north side.From understanding why “selling is a decision made before closing” to avoiding the trap of over-improving a property, Michael shares real, practical insights for investors who want to build long-term wealth the right way.Key Takeaways:3:07 – Michael's Core Roles: His three main hats are underwriting deals, asset management (executing strategies), and running the renovation crew.5:44 – Niche Strategy: Focusing on 10-unit, scattered-site buildings in core neighborhoods allows for hyper-accurate local data and pricing.10:26 – Tech for Efficiency: Software like ShowMojo automates scheduling and showings, eliminating phone tag and preventing lead loss.12:41 – Data-Driven Diligence: Use your own portfolio's data to accurately benchmark expenses against the seller's claims before touring the property.15:16 – Avoid Over-Improving: The worst mistake is over-investing in renovations, causing the property value to exceed what the local market can support ("meeting the market").17:02 – Legacy Transition: Buying the existing family business structure secured better lending credit and leverage for future acquisitions.19:55 – When to Sell: Consider selling if you've maximized value, plan no further capital investment, and wouldn't buy the asset back at the current market price.21:47 – Hindsight: Regrets include not networking more when younger and passing up "good deals" out of fear.Michael speaks Corwyn's "real estate dialect," diving deep into the world of multifamily acquisitions and the strategic vision needed to lead a multi-million dollar firm.Connect with Michael:Contact Number: 773 -904-1 383Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-root-6242a6a/Website: https://www.rootrealty.com//Connect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZAWebsite: https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/Shoutout to our Sponsor: Mellifund Capital, LLCNeed funding for your next real estate flip or build?

Visit digiCOACH.com and mention Darrin for special partner pricing.If you've followed high-level high school athletics—especially in Colorado—you've probably heard of Valor Christian High School. From state titles to nationally ranked teams, Valor has built a reputation for excellence. But what most people don't see is the intentional culture, systems, and faith-driven leadership behind the wins.In this episode, Darrin sits down with Keith Wahl, longtime coach and now Athletic Director at Valor Christian, to talk about building a mission-centered athletic program in the middle of NIL, transfer portals, club sports pressure, and sky-high parent expectations.Keith shares how Valor has stayed anchored to its founding mission and culture documents, how they rebuilt systems after a difficult season, and why he believes sports don't teach life lessons—people do.In this episode, you'll hear:Keith's journey into leadership at Valor ChristianFrom opening Mountain Vista High School as its first head baseball coach… to a “divine nudge” text from his wife… to becoming Valor's first head baseball coach and eventually Athletic Director.From “pioneer” to nationally respected athletics programHow Valor went from a brand-new school with a bold Christian mission to a MaxPreps Top 50-level athletic department—without abandoning its original vision and purpose.Culture documents, team plans, and the power of clarityWhy written team plans and an athletic handbook became game changers for culture, communication, and peace—and what happened when those systems disappeared (and then had to be rebuilt).Leading in the NIL and transfer eraHow NIL, club sports, and transfer rules have reshaped high school athletics—and what leaders can do to stay mission-focused instead of becoming purely transactional.Youth sports pressure and parent expectationsWhy today's parents often have less trust and higher expectations, and how schools can respond with value, transparency, and a holistic vision of sport.Faith, sport, and deeper meaning beyond the scoreboardKeith's work with Baylor's Faith & Sport Institute, their “Away Game” cohort, and what it looks like to build an athletic experience that forms character—not just winners.The trust triangle & the athletic leadership teamHow Keith uses the “trust triangle” (with authentic vulnerability at the base) to lead his internal team and create a second-family culture among his staff.Knowing your people: Enneagram, Working Genius & AIHow Keith uses tools like the Enneagram, Working Genius—and yes, even ChatGPT—to better understand his team and tailor his communication to each person.A powerful tribute to Coach Janie McHughThe story of longtime Valor volleyball coach Janie McHugh, her fourth straight state title, and why Keith believes deeply that knowing your people is one of the greatest gifts of leadership.Connect with Keith WahlValor Athletics: valoreagles.comSocial: @CoachWahl22 on all major platforms

Tim Lovell has spent his life around competitive amateur golf, from growing up on his grandfather's nine-hole course in Georgia to a “year of golf” as an exchange student in New Zealand and a memorable AmateurGolf.com Ireland trip. Now he's giving back in a big way—helping coach Lakeview Academy's high school team and spearheading one of the most advanced tech-driven programs in the state.In this episode, Tim and Pete dig into how Lakeview built a true golf studio on campus with Foresight “Sim in a Box,” GC3s, a GCQuad, TrackMan, and portable mats for wedge sessions on the football field. Tim explains why launch-monitor feedback turns practice into a “video game,” how the team uses data to become elite from 140 yards and in, and how donors and smart planning made the whole setup possible. They also talk Georgia high school golf's rising level, recruiting advantages, and an eighth-grader cornerstone talent, Hudson Justice, who could help redefine the program's ceiling.A great listen for coaches, parents, junior players, and anyone curious how technology is reshaping player development at the high school level.Explore Foresight's Sim-in-a-Box Packages → https://www.foresightsports.com/collections/sim-in-a-boxAmateur Golf Links:AmateurGolf.comSubscribeInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTube
Episode 133! Joining us in the studio today is Kellie Revoir. Kellie is a real estate agent and team leader who leads a team of realtors, closing 250-300 homes per year. She's also a real estate investor who does fix and flips, and buy and holds, and she speaks on stages, and coaches other agents on how to optimize their businesses.It wasn't always this way for Kellie, as in 2011 she got divorced and lost her job, while raising her two boys, ages 3 and 4. She lived for a time on welfare as she had no child support as part of the divorce decree, and yet, she made sure her boys never knew they were in financial hardship. Despite not wanting to join her mother's real estate practice, in 2013, Kellie got her real estate license and found she had a talent for it. The real estate business became #1 in their market, and the coaching business exploded, bringing significant financial success with it.In fact, Kellie and her boys were interviewed at a Tony Robbins event where they were sitting in $2k seats, as they wanted to interview the single mom who had been on food stamps and was sitting in their most expensive seats with her now teenage boys. Tune in to hear KELLIE share her perspective on how family, hard work, enthusiasm, and trust in God has enabled her to thrive despite the setbacks life has thrown at her.

https://teachhoops.com/ The legendary success of Bob Hurley's program at St. Anthony High School was, first and foremost, a product of an unshakeable culture of discipline and accountability. Hurley, a Hall of Famer, ran what he called a "benevolent dictatorship" built on a non-negotiable contract that every player and parent had to sign, outlining expectations for everything from academics to practice effort. This created a program centered on selflessness, toughness, and a "team-first" mentality. For Hurley, character was not a byproduct of winning; it was the prerequisite, and this foundation allowed him to demand a level of commitment and execution that few other programs could match. Strategically, Hurley's teams were famous for their defensive chaos and versatility. He built his teams on a "Multiple Defensive System," believing he could confuse opponents and dictate the game's tempo by constantly changing looks. While his base defense was a hard-nosed, fundamentally-sound man-to-man, he would fluidly switch into various presses, half-court traps, and "gimmick" defenses like a Box-and-1 or Triangle-and-2. He famously used these "surprise" defenses for a single possession or for an entire half, preventing opponents from ever finding a rhythm and forcing them to play in a constant state of discomfort. This complex system was only possible because of Hurley's relentless emphasis on fundamentals and his legendary, high-intensity practices. He believed the sport was "overcoached and under-taught," so he dedicated enormous time to mastering the basics of footwork, passing (famously using weighted balls), and ball-handling. His practices were meticulously planned and run at game-speed, with "WIN" stats charted to reward hustle plays like deflections and charges. By making his practices significantly harder than the games themselves, Hurley ensured his players were prepared, fundamentally sound, and mentally tough enough to execute his demanding system under pressure Learn more about your ad choices.

When Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited Washington this week, he shifted multiple paradigms. In an increasingly multilateral world, Mr. Bin Salman, backed by US President Donald Trump, suggested that the kingdom is claiming its place at the table as a geopolitical and geoeconomic powerhouse. US support gives (Mr. Bin Salman) more room to negotiate with big powers—US, China, and even Israel—on his own terms,” said analyst Hesham Alghannam. Seen through a geopolitical lens, Mr. Bin Salman's commercial dealings are about more than diversifying the kingdom's oil-dependent economy and turning it into a 21st-century, cutting-edge knowledge society. In Mr. Bin Salman's mind, the dealings are about putting Saudi Arabia on near-par with the United States, China, and India in a world that is multilateral rather than bipolar, with the US and China as the dominant powers, or tripolar, with India eventually added into the mix.

This week, Jason is joined by content creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most authentic and impactful voices in fashion, Remi Bader! From her viral realistic hauls that changed how millions think about clothing to launching her own size inclusive fashion line Edited by Remi Bader at Sam's Club, she has proven the power of authenticity and advocacy. Her collection was so successful, it expanded from a hundred stores to 200 and has continued that mission by building her own brand Fangirl. Remy has redefined what it means to merge influence with impact, showing how social media power can spark lasting change in the fashion industry. Remi Bader dives into the unconventional path that led her from PR and marketing to becoming one of the most recognizable names in fashion and content creation. She opens up about getting fired early in her career, why she initially thought fashion wasn't her space, and how creating videos during one of her lowest points unexpectedly launched her online success. Remi shares the full-circle moment of landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, how she spent all her early income on Uber and food delivery, and her resistance to being labeled an influencer. She details how UTA convinced her to go full-time into content creation, her days working as a fit model, and the whirlwind of balancing viral fame with mental health. Remi reflects on building her career completely on her own, the importance of never burning bridges, and how LinkedIn played a surprising role in her growth. She also gets candid about her collaboration with her dad (and why she'll never do business with family again), staying true to her values regardless of body size, prioritizing health, setting boundaries, and the story behind her brand, Fangirl. Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

A century ago, Jeff Braverman's grandfather opened a peanut shop in Newark, New Jersey. By the early 2000s, the family business was doing $1M in sales and struggling to stay afloat. Jeff had a high-paying job in finance, but walked away from it to reinvent the business. His strategy? The internet. Something his dad and uncle knew nothing about.What happened next is wild: an AdWords experiment that blew the doors off the budding online business; a slip on national TV where Rachael Ray accidentally renamed the company; 40,000 pounds of protest peanuts that crashed servers and landed them in the New York Times; a hilariously polarizing rap jingle; and a COVID surge that tested leadership—and humanity—every single day.This is the blueprint for transforming a dusty, low-margin business into a profitable, $100M+ direct-to-consumer brand—while keeping it family-owned. It's also a masterclass in earning trust, making risky bets, and scaling without losing your soul.You'll learn:The mechanics of a paid-search playbook that 10x'd orders overnightHow to win over skeptical family members (and when to demand the keys to the store)The exploding-deal etiquette of buying a premium domainHow an improvised rap-jingle can be stickier than a professional ad How Nuts.com built a robust B2B business alongside DTCCrisis leadership lessons from the COVID floor When and how a leader should hire their replacementTimestamps:00:07:08 — Cash registers, code words, and a Newark childhood inside the peanut shop00:13:42 — The “build a website” pitch at a Jersey diner 00:29:40 — December 4, 2003: from 3 orders/day to 30 00:31:19 — Dad panics –”shut it off!”– Jeff doubles down on demand and ops00:35:26 — Losing the storefront to a hockey arena—and going all-in online00:42:29 — Jericho fans send 40,000 lbs of peanuts to CBS: press, links, and leverage00:48:38 — Rachael Ray calls them “Nuts.com” by accident… and the $700k domain deal that followed01:00:51 — The notorious Nuts.com rap jingle: how an earworm took hold01:03:11 — Offices, microbreweries, and building a sticky B2B engine01:05:08 — COVID hits: 70% call-outs, factory safety, and leading from the floor01:10:18 — Handing the reins to a new CEO: leaning into strengths, not egoThis episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.
