Skip and Julie Whis drove seven hours to be in the studio. That tells you something right there about the kind of people they are. These two are chiropractors. Married chiropractors. Running a successful practice together. Teaching their kids about legacy. Doing it all differently than everyone else in their field. Here's the truth about chiropractors. Most of them are terrible business people. They either stay broke playing the insurance game. Or they become frantic stress cases running from room to room treating patients like dollar signs. Skip and Julie figured out something different. They built their practice around experience. Not adjustments. Skip knew from sixth grade he was going to be a chiropractor. Marry another chiropractor. Have two kids. All before age 30. Julie had the same vision. Red house with a turret. Boy and a girl. They manifested every single piece of it. But the real story isn't just about the practice. It's about what they're building beyond it. They don't sell adjustments. They sell experiences. Patients don't pay them for cracking backs. They pay for the transformation. For getting their kid back. For finally having a newborn that doesn't cry all night. For understanding their child with special needs. That's what people actually want. Not another $27 exam from some stressed out doc in a dirty office with last week's newspaper. But the real conversation today goes beyond business. It's about legacy. Not the kind where you want people to remember your name. The kind where you give your kids opportunities you never had. Where you teach them money is available. Money is energy. Money works for you. Not the other way around. This conversation covers everything. How to read people fast. Why integrity matters more than money. The difference between weak money that leaves easy and hard money you earn. Why patients pick up on neediness immediately. How to create proximity instead of distance in relationships. What it means to give back to the community that trusts you. Skip and Julie get it. They're not Alan from Two and a Half Men living on someone's couch. They're building something that matters. Teaching their kids to build something that matters. Showing other chiropractors how to stop being broke and start creating real value. That's legacy.We Meet: Julie and Skip Wyss, Prime Family Chiropractic CentersConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Julie and Skip: http://primefamilycenters.com/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Julie:Badass business coach, client experience mentor and curator, CEO/CFO/Owner of Prime Family Chiropractic Centers, Black Diamond Club Certified Coach, Mom of 2 Teenagers, Serial Investor, Real Estate Investor, Speaker, and Chairman of The Spine Project.About Skip:I am a pediatric, prenatal, and pregnancy chiropractor.

Rebecca Thompson transformed her first real estate investment by strategically subdividing a Philadelphia duplex. After joining the WIIRE Community post-divorce, she discovered an off-market property for $265,000 with significant potential. Navigating the subdivision process, Rebecca worked closely with township officials and an engineering firm, investing $7,000 to convert the duplex into two marketable units. Her total renovation cost of $75,000 strategically positioned her for success, ultimately generating $35-$40,000 in profit. What distinguishes Rebecca is her problem-solving approach and commitment to learning. By leveraging community mentorship, she overcame the typical obstacles faced by beginner investors. Her method focused on understanding local housing needs, building critical relationships, and remaining adaptable throughout the investment journey.Rebecca's story illustrates that successful real estate investing isn't about perfection, but about persistent learning, strategic thinking, and willingness to take calculated risks.

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Dave Seymour, a former firefighter turned real estate mogul who got his start in the industry during the 2008 crash. Dave shares how financial hardship and an exhausting 120-hour work week led him to invest $27,000 in real estate education—despite being in pre-foreclosure. That investment marked a turning point, igniting a transformation fueled by mindset and implementation. He recounts his first wholesale deal that earned him $5,000 and how it validated his new path, ultimately leading to a successful career in flipping, wholesaling, and multifamily investing. Dave emphasizes that implementation and accountability are more valuable than inspiration alone, reflecting on how few of his peers followed through after the same training. As the conversation evolves, Dave discusses the strategic progression from small real estate deals to larger multifamily acquisitions and eventually into capital management and lending. He attributes his success to building the right team, leveraging partnerships, and continuously expanding his toolset. He stresses the importance of personal growth, faith over fear, and staying grounded through values rather than ego. Dave also critiques the over-saturation of so-called "experts" online and urges aspiring investors to live a life worthy of storytelling. He closes by explaining how today's market requires wealth protection over quick returns, and that long-term success comes from steady, intentional investing—especially in multifamily real estate.

In our 200th podcast episode, we're revealing our five-year journey from corporate jobs to successful real estate investing. Starting with zero experience in 2020, we quickly learned that success comes from persistent action and strategic learning. Our early years were marked by hustle and extreme frugality. We quit our corporate jobs within two years, acquiring multiple properties through creative financing and bold negotiation. Each mistake became a valuable lesson in building our investment portfolio. By 2022-2023, we shifted from pure acquisition to developing systematic approaches. We hired property managers, created business infrastructures, and learned to work smarter. Our 2024-2025 strategy focused on portfolio refinement, including selling high-maintenance properties, diversifying investments, and exploring passive income streams such as short-term rentals. Our biggest takeaway? Real estate success is a journey of continuous learning and strategic risk-taking. We went from being scared first-time investors to confident entrepreneurs, proving that with determination and the right mindset, financial freedom is achievable. For female investors feeling intimidated: if we can do it, so can you. Your financial independence is waiting!   Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
