When you first enter the medical world as a caregiver, everyone around you hits the ground running. The nurses and doctors know exactly how to get started, and yet, you might be left feeling overwhelmed and powerless.  This is what makes social workers so important: they support the family holistically, encourage communication, help bridge information gaps, and empower you to become an important member of your child's medical team.

Henry works with families who have extended admissions in the heart center, and Megan extensively prepares families for admissions and hospitalizations in the epilepsy center.  They are the superheroes in a medical team, meeting families where they are and making their experience in the hospital remarkably better.

After losing someone close to us we are usually told about the five stages of grief and how each of them will show up. But grief often shows up differently for everyone, skipping and cycling through stages in unique ways. My guest today is Sara Ward, and she knows a thing or two about grieving. After unexpectedly losing her father to a heart problem as a teenager, her 9-month-old adopted son was diagnosed with a rare and terminal disease and given a very short time to live.  Instead of choosing to focus only on the hardships of grief, Sara committed to looking for unexpected gifts in her journey. Since then, she's written a book titled, Made for Hope: Discovering Unexpected Gifts in Brokenness, which is aimed at helping others navigate their grief journey. She's sharing her story on how community, faith, hope, and gratitude got her through some of the hardest challenges of life.  This episode is perfect for anyone who's in the thick of their grief journey or knows someone who is to feel less alone in this very difficult season of life.  Key Takeaways with Sara Ward Processing grief as a child or teenager Dealing with a sudden and unexpected loss  How the stages of grief are unique for everyone  The anticipatory grief that comes with terminal illnesses Seeking help through grief groups  The importance of rest for caregivers  Leaning on faith & community When parents have different coping mechanisms  Feeling guilt after the loss of a child  Focusing on the blessings in the midst of pain  Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/80.

Juli Boit is no stranger to helping those in need. She's an author, family nurse practitioner, and international non-profit director of Living Room International, dedicated to providing palliative care services to adults and children in western Kenya.  After going through an adoption journey with her son Ryan, whose parents had recently passed, and consequently adopting his siblings, she found herself needing some help of her own when two of her kids required transplants far from their Kenyan home.  These transformative experiences made Juli see her work through a different lens: that joy can be found in both giving and receiving and that without the pain, we cannot experience joy.  Today, Juli is sharing her experience in the hopes of making someone else's journey of navigating children's treatments, ICU admissions, and surgeries feel a little more manageable.  Key Takeaways with Juli Boit Navigating an international adoption process How motherhood changes your perspective on helping others The importance of community & the feeling of belonging  Creating community in a new phase of life Asking for help when you feel vulnerable or scared Guiding others through shared experience  Making room for grief to experience joy  Practices to help you feel present and grounded Navigating a transplant and ICU journey  How traumatic experiences affect your faith  Welcoming people who feel like they've never been welcome anywhere Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/78.

How are parents meant to believe that the loss of a child is all part of God's plan? Grief is a difficult journey for everyone, but it can feel especially challenging when it's accompanied by a feeling of losing yourself or your faith. My guest today, Emily Ann Adams, had this exact experience after the passing of one of her twin boys, Aidan.  Faced with three little children under 5 to look after, including Aidan's brother Alan who was born at 32 weeks, Emily made a courageous decision; to dive deep into her grief to understand it better. In the process, she helped dozens of other families navigate their own grief through her incredibly moving book: Is There No Other Way?: Exploring Growth Through Grief.

One of the only certainties about having children is uncertainty: we can't find out beforehand how a pregnancy or birth experience will go, or who our children will grow up and become. Add in a premature birth, an illness diagnosis, and a NICU stay to the mix, and it can lead to overwhelming worry and anxiety. My guest today, Meg Helgeson, is certainly no stranger to this. Her twin girls Ellie and Leah, who are now healthy 12-year-old girls, had to be flown to the NICU at Comer's Children Hospital at only 5 days old to receive a meningitis diagnosis. Looking back, Meg is now able to share her advice for parents going through similar situations: from the nerves of discovering you are having twins, to the heart-wrenching experience of caring for them in the NICU. She shares helpful tips on allowing others to be there for you, remembering to care for yourself, managing expectations, and dealing with overstimulation.  If you're a “recovering perfectionist” trying to balance that with the beautiful chaos of parenthood, then this episode has some goodies for you.  Key Takeaways with Meg Helgeson The highs and lows of finding out you're having twins  Setting healthy boundaries throughout pregnancy  Managing and grieving pregnancy & birth expectations  The importance of accepting help from friends and loved ones Taking care of yourself through the NICU journey  Accepting that it is normal not to know everything  Avoiding comparison in the NICU Treating siblings (especially twins) as separate individuals  How nursery nurses make the experience less daunting  Celebrating non-traditional milestones to help find joy  Dealing with overstimulation around small children  Letting go of perfectionism  Giving yourself “second chances” to get things right  Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/74.

When a parent learns that their child has been diagnosed with a serious illness or condition, it's difficult not to be consumed with worst case scenarios.  But as Bekah Bowman will tell you, you have two choices: either allow your past and future to steal joy from your present, or embrace joy in the present moment, no matter what it looks like.  And Bekah is no stranger to this concept: her two boys, Titus and Ely, were both affected by a rare genetic disease (CLN2) that leads to the quick loss of skills and eventual passing in childhood.  After her oldest son passed away Bekah wrote Can't Steal My Joy, a book dedicated to helping those whose life path has taken an unexpected turn to rediscover joy.  Today, Bekah shares some of her strategies on how to manage anticipatory grief, learning to make the best of the present, the importance of making time to grieve, leaning on your faith, and the power of acceptance.  Key Takeaways with Bekah Bowman Ways to process a difficult diagnosis  Managing anticipatory grief Learning to focus on the present & enjoy each moment  Dealing with feelings of numbness  The power of acceptance and embracing joy  Why you should consider scheduling “grieving sessions” Leaning on your faith through grief  The importance of honoring date nights with your partner Finding community in extended family and friends  Learning to flex your “Joy Muscle”  Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/73.

Even though symptoms and conditions are always unique, there is one thing most people who've recently been diagnosed with a difficult condition have in common: the search for hope and answers to many questions.

Most people will face personal and professional challenges at some point in their life. Whether it's an addiction, cancer, or even just bad luck, everyone has a story that isn't always told or known. And today, we're focusing on 4 traits that successful people all seem to have that have helped them not only survive but emerge on the other side with incredible careers and success. My guest today is Caleb Johnson. He's been an entrepreneur since he was 18; he's done five real estate multifamily syndications and is now a full-time real estate investor and business owner. He's also the host of From Trial to Triumph podcast, where he talks to people about the challenging times they've faced in life. With that in mind, Caleb joins me today for a wonderful conversation about the four traits that accelerate success in life and business: responsibility to others, giving, making decisions, and never quitting. If you're ready to make these traits your own–and find out how others have used them to make it through extraordinary circumstances–this episode is for you.  Key Takeaways with Caleb Johnson How Caleb went from being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” as an antisocial, troubled teen to finding joy and inspiration in life.  Why most successful entrepreneurs have been through some form of hell on earth to get to where they are now.  Why these four characteristics define so many people who survive challenges and emerge successful and triumphant on the other side.  The power of living in triumph and happiness and joy–no matter your circumstances. The dangers of settling for the comforts of the unknown when you need to push your life forward. Want the Full Show Notes?

In 2020, we were afraid to go anywhere. 2021 turned into the greatest year for real estate of all time. In 2022, we watched interest rates spiral out of control and dramatically shift the market, and we're now living in the wake of these major shifts, both positive and negative. So, what can we expect moving forward? To help answer that question, I'm talking to Neal Bawa. Neal is the founder of UGro and Grocapitus and known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily with a $1B real estate portfolio and over 900 investors. Based in the Bay Area, he uses cutting edge analytics and tech tools to give himself–and his students–a powerful edge in the world of multifamily investing. In today's conversation, Neal and I talk about why we're all better off buying properties now than we were 18 months ago, why this may be our best opportunity to buy since 2009, and what the future holds for our industry. Key Takeaways with Neal Bawa Why Neal is still extremely bullish about multifamily. How to frame today's market as a winning opportunity for your prospective investors and limited partners.  Why syndicators should be worried about overpaying–and why now's a great time to invest in investor education. What to expect in 2024, why so many syndicators are going to be out of business a year from now, and how to do your best to not become one of them.  Want the Full Show Notes?

Purchasing any property comes with a certain amount of risk. And that's undoubtedly true with multifamily real estate investing. But if you never take any risk, you're not growing your portfolio or your business. And if you spent 10 years working on Wall Street like today's guest, you'd understand investment risk very well and how to manage it. Craig Berger is the Founder of Avid Realty Partners and has been an active real estate investor for over 15 years. He oversees deal sourcing, underwriting, fundraising, capital markets, operations, and asset management. Since 2015, Avid Realty has grown its portfolio with approximately 2,000 multifamily units worth more than $275M. Prior to founding Avid Realty Partners, he worked for over 10 years as a highly acclaimed semiconductor equity research analyst at Smith Barney Citigroup and FBR Capital Markets, among others. With his expertise, he's guided Avid Realty through 6 exits with zero realized loss and a 33% average IRR.  In our conversation, Craig shares what it takes to have incredible success as a real estate investor. In his words, it takes persistence, grit, determination, and being able to analyze deals to minimize risk while being willing to go all in and be willing to fail. If you find yourself getting caught up in the headlines and fears about inflation, you'll miss out on opportunities that are available. Key Takeaways with Craig Berger Why fears about inflation should be nearing the end and why there will be great opportunities in the next 12 months. Why Craig has focused on building his portfolio in Texas and how state laws factor into those decisions. How real estate investors need to have grit and determination to be truly successful. Taking risks is essential in real estate investing, but minimizing risk helps to ensure a successful outcome. Want the Full Show Notes?

If you're new to real estate investing, would you step up to the plate and swing for the fences? Or would you rather take that first pitch, give it some thought, and take a more comfortable and calculated swing with your money on the line? While it's important to have big targets and big goals, trying to make everything happen all at once and hit a home run right off the bat is rarely a recipe for success–and today's guest knows this well. I'm thrilled to be talking to Arn Cenedella, Founder of Spark Investment Group. He's a real estate expert with 35 years of experience as a broker and investor and owns 1100 multifamily units with over $138M AUM.  In today's conversation, Arn walks us through the last deal he closed and why fixed-rate debt is so important in our current economy. We'll also talk about why the finish line is always years away and how having just one or two great relationships from the start can make a huge difference in building a $100M+ portfolio. Key Takeaways with Arn Cenedella Why you shouldn't swing for the fences and try to pack an entire career's worth of success into one deal. What makes long-term bank and agency financing so important. Why Arn prefers build-to-rent opportunities after completion. The best ways to buy entire rental communities after they've been developed. How one or two relationships can take you from nothing to a $100M portfolio. Want the Full Show Notes?

I've got some exciting news to share, so I decided to jump on the mic and talk about it with all of you today.  We recently acquired a nice little 28-unit apartment property called 28 Riverside. You'd probably want to ask, "Josh, after doing 19 syndications and buying 4,500 units, several 300, 500, and 700+ unit buildings, why would you bother with such a small building?"  The answer is very simple: good deals go fast and are hard to find. And no matter how many residential or small multifamily deals you've done, a property like 28 Riverside is a great starter deal or a perfect deal for someone like me.  In today's episode, I want to give you a clear explanation of the why behind 28 Riverside. I'll walk you through the strategy we're using to add value fast and how to get a similar property cash flowing in your portfolio within a year.  Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why deal size doesn't matter when you have full-time employees you need to keep busy. The one thing I'm always looking at when I underwrite deals. How to make sure your financials set you up to cash flow and turn a profit.  How we found 28 Riverside–and how you can find a similar deal. Want the Full Show Notes?

We often talk about raising capital, but how do you bring in big money? As in really BIG money? We're talking more than $2 billion from broker-dealers and investment advisors? Joining me to talk about one of my favorite aspects of real estate investing is my new friend Brad Blazar. Brad is the author of the fantastic book Winning at the Capital Game and a highly sought-after speaker when it comes to raising capital and with good reason.  Don't take my word for it. In fact, before recording this podcast, Brad was leading a bootcamp with people who'd traveled as far as England and Australia just to learn from him.  So, if you're looking to buy your next $100 million asset by leveraging broker-dealers, Brad knows precisely how to do it and is here to share his secret sauce. In this conversation, we talk about why there's no better investment than real estate (and how to prove it to your potential investors), how to go from raising $2 million to hundreds of millions, and the common mistakes you don't want to make on your way up.  Key Takeaways with Brad Blazar How rising interest rates have actually made things better for Brad.  Why you're never going to raise $2 billion by yourself–and how to scale with syndication. How to survive due diligence with broker-dealers in a notoriously litigious industry.  What broker-dealers want to see in a potential deal. How Brad transitioned from being a landlord to raising money for himself. Want the Full Show Notes?

Imagine that you're still in your twenties for a moment. You've got no track record, no ownership experience, little to no equity, and nothing to your name other than some student loan debt. Perhaps you were in the same boat before your first deal. Here's where things get interesting. Will Matheson and his twin brother were in this exact situation in 2017 when they decided to start their own company at Matheson Capital. Six years later, they've acquired over $100 million in real estate, done over a dozen multifamily and student housing deals, and delivered an astounding 40% internal rate of return for their investors.  I absolutely love hearing success stories like this and I'm thrilled to share this conversation. In today's episode, we dig into what exactly he's doing differently in his business that has led to his success, how he started small and built a proven record of success, and how the market (and his deals) have changed post-COVID.  Key Takeaways with Will Matheson Why it's so much harder to find deals set up to cash flow quickly post-COVID. How Will underwrites deals and picks and chooses markets. The five things to NOT do when you're starting a business or overseeing a deal. How the current market has gotten “cowboys” out of the space, creating a better market for serious investors.  How to structure your company's growth in a sustainable, holistic way.  Want the Full Show Notes?

What does success as an entrepreneur mean to you? Does it mean having a million dollars in the bank? Is it all about building a 7 or 8-figure income? Or does the journey as an entrepreneur mean much more than that? Today's episode is a very special one because we'll be talking about what we like to call, the entrepreneurial cheat code. And my guest, Mike Gleba, is a great friend and former colleague. Mike is the Founder and CEO of One 10 Media, a highly successful digital marketing agency that helps DTC eCommerce brands run paid social, email, and SMS ad campaigns.  I've known Mike since high school, and he was my Chief Marketing Officer and Strategic Real Estate Coach here at Freeland Ventures for about 10 years. He's since gone on to have tremendous success, and as you'll hear, we have a lot of catching up to do. You'll probably learn more about me and my entrepreneurial journey in our conversation than his. We dig into the importance of relationships, what we learned from putting on successful live events back in the early days, and how we're applying those lessons to what we're doing today with our businesses.  Key Takeaways with Mike Gleba How having a cheat code was instrumental in Mike's success on his entrepreneurial journey. The importance that relationships have had in both of their lives. The role that Kolbe strength assessments had in their businesses and increased their self-awareness. How Josh's ACER exercise was a powerful tool for Mike and still helps others set goals, both short term and long term. What motivates Josh today now that he's achieved so much which will resonate with anyone, especially entrepreneurs. Want the Full Show Notes?

Over the past year, there's been plenty of uncertainty with a potential recession, rising interest rates and inflation, and a very competitive housing market. Could we be seeing signs that the markets are bouncing back? Once again, I'm excited to check in with my good friend Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com. He always delivers the goods with information and data that is beyond helpful to anyone wondering what is happening in the marketplace and what we can expect to see in the short and long term. In this conversation, we dig into how interest rates have affected the housing market, where housing prices should be relative to income, the contradictory nature of our economy, and the surprising places where Daren sees distressed and discounted assets for sale.  Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist Why Daren believes we're seeing a bounce back in the housing market in spite of soaring interest rates.  Why the market has made it all but impossible to build to fix our supply and demand problems.  How consumer sentiment is still strong despite high prices and layoffs in tech.  Why Western markets, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas are all suddenly seeing an influx of distressed and discounted assets.  Want the Full Show Notes?

If you've been following the podcast, it should be no secret that my favorite real estate topic is raising capital. And today's guest is considered one of the leading experts in the industry when it comes to attracting high-net-worth investors and raising capital online. Yakov Smart is the leader of the Investor Attraction Academy and the author of Disrupting LinkedIn. He's also shared the stage with Samantha DeBianchi from Bravo's hit TV show, Million Dollar Listing, and is a highly sought-after authority who helps real estate entrepreneurs build out their automated funnels for attracting new investors.

The power of the one-to-many webinar for fundraising. Why LinkedIn is the very best platform for recruiting high net worth individuals.

In today's episode, I wanted to jump on the mic and take you through a property we call 220 Chevy. I'll walk you through everything we did, from the beginning to how we're nearing the completion of a true value-add. When we bought the Forest Ridge Apartments complex in April 2021, it was generating $115,000/month on 200 occupied units. Fast forward to 18 months later, we're bringing in $184,000 a month and have raised its value from $11.65M to $18.4M.  You'll learn how we successfully filled our vacancies, raised rents by an average of 70% across units, and created long-term wealth for our investors and forever passive income.  Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell What made 220 Chevy such an appealing property and investment opportunity. The challenge of filling units during the winter in Ohio.  How taking management quality from C- to A makes it easy to raise rents without dealing with evictions or move outs.  How we structured the 220 Chevy deal to create substantial wealth for our investors.  Want the Full Show Notes?

When I first got started in real estate, back in my house flipping days, I would worry about a lot of things. I'd worry about the interest rates, turning a profit, getting into the deal at the right price, and how I would exit the deal. Sound familiar? Eventually, I got tired of doing flips and the sleepless nights that came with it and found a way to build a nine-figure portfolio of forever passive income. Fast forward to today, I'm sleeping much better and not worrying about how I'm going to pay my bills. In today's episode, I want to tell you how I did it. You'll learn why I gave up on residential investing, what I needed to know to break into multifamily, and how I use these techniques to create more income and equity in one year than I could ever get out of ten years of residential investing.  The Forever Passive Income Live Virtual Event The next FPI Live Virtual Event is coming up on May 19-21, 2023 where I'll be sharing the step-by-step blueprint on how we raised tens of millions in capital and acquired over 4,300 units. Buy your FPI tickets today by visiting ForeverPassiveIncome.com  Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why commercial multifamily is much easier to scale than residential investing. How I learned to underwrite commercial multifamily deals, read T12s and T3s, and raise the capital to make our deals work. Why commercial multifamily protects you from rising interest rates, needing to find buyers, and allows you to achieve so much more in so much less time.  Want the Full Show Notes?

One thing that many real estate investors have in common is they have multiple income streams. Whether it's W-2 income, businesses they own, stock, or real estate, however you're making money, you need to understand the two types of taxes. Here's the thing: our tax code is set up to benefit the elite. It punishes employees and employers alike–and is designed to work this way.  In today's episode, I'll explain why people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk would choose to take home a salary of $1 (spoiler alert: it's not because they're feeling charitable or selfless!), why the elite are playing a completely different game when it comes to taxes, and why true passive income gives you the power to turn a profit while reporting a loss. The Forever Passive Income Live Virtual Event The next FPI Live Virtual Event is coming up on May 19-21, 2023 where I'll be sharing the step-by-step blueprint on how we raised tens of millions in capital and acquired over 4,300 units. Buy your FPI tickets today by visiting ForeverPassiveIncome.com  Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why business owners, the wealthy, and the super-rich never want to take a W-2. The key difference between W-2 and capital gains income–and what makes capital gains better. Why true passive income comes to you tax-free and can even help you achieve a negative K-1 on positive cash flow.  Want the Full Show Notes?

If your first real estate deal involved buying a simple single family home or duplex, lining up financing and then quickly escalated into getting overly involved with every step of the process, you probably thought to yourself, “This isn't a new financial future–this is another job!” Well, today's guest, Flint Jamison, had this exact feeling–and that's why he got into multifamily and build-to-rent communities. He spent 20 years in the aerospace industry and managed a $120 million program modifying aircraft for the military, but has been in real estate since 2018.  Now, at Vestus Capital, he's helping his partners break free from the Wall Street rollercoaster and find financial freedom and peace of mind through multifamily investing. And the best part is, he's sharing how he does it with us here today. In this conversation, we get into the 94-unit townhome community he's raising capital on right now, the three phases of build-to-rent communities, and how to make sure you're not giving yourself an extra job as you build your real estate portfolio.  The Forever Passive Income Live Virtual Event The next FPI Live Virtual Event is coming up on May 19-21, 2023 where I'll be sharing the step-by-step blueprint on how we raised tens of millions in capital and acquired over 4,300 units.

How much Flint invests in these properties, and how he increases value in each development phase.  How failing on his first partner syndication drove Flint to focus on capital raising. Why having a great relationship with your builders will make every part of your life easier.  How Flint delivers for his investors–and why successful syndications became a pillar on his journey to financial freedom.  Want the Full Show Notes?

If there's one thing I love about what I get to do every day, it's speaking to other real estate investors and medical professionals who have already helped so many others and want to use their success to give back and help others. And this is one of those episodes where today's guest is doing precisely that. Jason Balara is the CEO and co-founder of Lark Capital Group.

In our conversation, you'll hear about his new passion project of creating his first fund to combine real estate opportunities for limited partners and give back to other veterinarians and help them achieve financial freedom.

How challenging 2023 has been for real estate investors as deal flow has slowed since last year.

Anyone who has built a portfolio with real estate is likely familiar with the venture capital and syndication worlds. But today, we're going to talk about how high-net-worth investors can add alternative assets to diversify their portfolios with higher returns. Today's guest is Andy Hagans. Andy is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of WealthChannel, and the host of the Alternative Investment Podcast. He's created a platform that connects high-net-worth investors and sponsors with alternative investment deals.

If you're looking to add alternative investments to your portfolio without getting burned, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways with Andy Hagans Why more non-institutional investors are embracing alternative investments than ever before. Why even many traditional financial advisors are starting to embrace a 50/30/20 model including alts. How to meet possible partners, sponsors, and GPs if you've never done a deal before.  How alts protect investors from market volatility and banking collapses. Why you can't simply write a check and expect to get rich–but you can find great deals that take advantage of your passion and expertise.  Want the Full Show Notes?
