David R. Priest walked away from a $13 million, 90-unit deal — and roughly $200,000 out of his own pocket — after discovering the partner set to sign his loan was flagged on Fannie Mae's ineligible list. Three years later, he's General Partner on over 2,000 apartment units and has personally raised $10 million in private capital for multifamily syndications across Texas. In this episode, Logan sits down with David to unpack how that early collapse became the turning point that redirected him into capital raising, the "DEAL" method he uses to screen a deal in under ten minutes — looking at location, operator, and debt long before he ever looks at the numbers — and why he'd rather give investors a "smooth ride" than chase the highest possible return. David also breaks down the counterintuitive reason he treats a $50,000 investor with the same respect as a $500,000 one, and what he's watching for in the Texas multifamily market over the next year. Whether you're trying to raise your first dollar of capital or place your next investment, this is a masterclass in credibility, discipline, and playing the long game.Five key takeaways:Turn failure into fuel. David's first deal — a $13M, 90-unit acquisition he tried to run himself — fell apart when his loan-signing partner turned out to be flagged on Fannie Mae's checklist, costing him close to $200,000. That failure pushed him to pivot into capital raising, where he's since raised over $10 million.Borrow credibility from proven operators. New to the business with no track record, David built credibility by affiliating with experienced, top-tier operators — using the analogy that everyone remembers Steve Jobs, not Apple's number two or three — and by putting his own money into every deal he raises for.Screen deals with the "DEAL" method, numbers last. David evaluates location, the operator's track record, and the debt structure before ever touching the underwriting — letting him say "no" to most deals in under ten minutes and save deep analysis for the one or two that actually deserve it.Communication beats the biggest return. A 2.5x return on a poorly-run oil and gas deal still cost David his willingness to reinvest, because the communication was bad throughout. He argues investors want a "smooth ride" more than they want a rollercoaster with a great payout at the end.Every investor deserves equal respect. A consistent $50,000 check-writer can be more valuable than a one-time $500,000 investor — and in David's own experience, treating a $50K investor well led directly to a referral for his first $500,000 check.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Convidado: Murilo Salviano, repórter correspondente da TV Globo e GloboNews em Londres. Nesta segunda-feira (20), o Reino Unido deu início a um novo capítulo de sua conturbada história política recente. O novo líder do partido trabalhista Andy Burnham assumiu o cargo de primeiro-ministro britânico – ele é sétimo a ocupar o posto nos últimos dez anos. Ele substitui Keir Starmer, que esteve à frente do partido em 2024, quando os trabalhistas conseguiram uma vitória esmagadora na eleição nacional, mas viu sua popularidade derreter nos últimos 23 meses: diante de uma inflação alta e de um escândalo que envolve o caso Epstein, sua rejeição atingiu 74%, a pior de um premiê britânico nos últimos 50 anos. Burnham ganhou o apelido de "Rei do Norte" devido à sua gestão muito bem avaliada como prefeito de Manchester e promete uma agenda mais popular – ele tem o desafio de barrar o crescimento da extrema-direita no país, que se saiu melhor nas eleições regionais britânicas de maio deste ano. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com Murilo Salviano, que fala diretamente de Londres. Murilo explica os pilares da derrocada de Starmer e da ascensão de Burnham. Ele descreve também a "gambiarra" política que levou o "Rei do Norte" ao centro do poder britânico.

The standard infertility timeline does not apply to every patient. When should infertility counseling begin, and when is it risky to wait? OBGYN Dr. Nicole Faulkner and REI specialist Dr. Jennifer Kulp Makarov discuss how age, irregular cycles, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, and male factor infertility should shape counseling and referral decisions on this week's episode of the BackTable Women's Health. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction02:37 - Launching a New Practice04:23 - When to Refer Patients06:23 - Basic Infertility Workup08:39 - Counseling Patients Over 4014:05 - Personalized IVF Protocols17:59 - Embryology and PGT-A23:54 - Egg Preservation Timing28:20 - Using Frozen Embryos Later31:36 - Components of Personalized IVF33:30 - Patient Experience and Education37:25 - Alternative Fertility Options40:46 - Approaching Recurrent Miscarriage42:28 - Key Takeaways --- More about this episode Dr. Kulp Makarov reviews when patients should be referred to an REI based on age, while emphasizing that earlier referral is appropriate for patients with irregular cycles, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, or known male factor infertility. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) testing can be a useful initial assessment, it should not delay specialist evaluation. The discussion also explores how advances in reproductive medicine have expanded fertility treatment options. Dr. Kulp Makarov highlights personalized IVF protocols, embryo banking, and preimplantation genetic testing, while emphasizing both the benefits and limitations of these approaches. She also shares practical guidance on egg freezing, pregnancy in the mid-40s, and when donor eggs, gestational carriers, or other fertility treatment options may be appropriate. Finally, she explains how REIs approach the evaluation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss. --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

This week, we sit down with Vania Nettleford to unpack every real estate investor's worst nightmare: a devastating house fire and the discovery that her insurance policy didn't actually cover what she thought it did. We walk through how Vania bought her first house hack—a two‑family property with a finished attic in Belleville, New Jersey—and turned it into a profitable mix of long‑term rentals and MTR arbitrage, going from paying the mortgage to getting paid to live there. Then we shift into the moment everything changed: the grease fire, the frantic calls, the damage, the claim process, and the emotional and financial toll of carrying a $3,000/month mortgage with no rental income. Together, we break down: The difference between homeowner and landlord insurance Why correct occupancy and coverage type (ACV vs. replacement) matter How to advocate for yourself with your insurance agent What we, as female real estate investors, can do this week to protect our portfolios We also talk about mindset—why Vania didn't quit real estate, how she leveraged relationships to sell the damaged property, and how to stay in the game when things go horribly wrong.       Resources: Book your spot at WIIRE Summer Camp before it fills up Follow Vania on Instagram See what Vania is up to next Get the deets on Steadily Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

IVF stimulation doesn't create egg quality. It reveals it. Most people think an IVF cycle starts on day one of stimulation. Biologically, that's already too late. You were told the protocol would be adjusted. Maybe the dose went up. Maybe they switched you to a different one entirely. And the result was the same, or close enough that nobody could explain the difference. Somewhere in it, you started wondering whether the cycle was ever really the variable. The follicles recruited in your cycle have been developing for weeks to months. They reflect the metabolic and inflammatory conditions that were present during that window. Stimulation doesn't override those conditions. It asks the system to perform under them. The same applies to sperm. His semen analysis came back normal, he got a high five from the REI, and nobody looked at DNA integrity or fragmentation. In this episode, I walk through three patterns we see with clients and why repeating a cycle without reassessing readiness often produces the same result. CHAPTERS 00:00 Why the cycle was decided before day one 01:00 Pattern one: egg and sperm quality are set before stimulation begins 02:00 The sperm side nobody looked at, and why stimulation amplifies what is already there 03:00 Pattern two: why pre-IVF prep fails when it is just supplements and timelines 04:00 Blood sugar, gut and immune signaling, and stress physiology 05:00 Pattern three: preparing for IVF versus auditing whether you are ready 06:00 The hierarchy, and whether now is the time to push the system 07:00 The reframe: clarity protects your time, energy, and biology EMBRYO AUDIT CHECKLIST If you're preparing for IVF or considering another cycle, the free Embryo Audit Checklist walks through the key systems that influence egg quality, embryo development, and implantation, so you can have a more informed conversation before moving forward.

Ich sag's, wie es ist: Wenn du als 5-jähriges Kind bei einem lauten Schluchzer von deinemPapa gehört hast: „Reiß dich mal zusammen“,  dann ist es kein Wunder, dass du heute ständig das Gefühl hast, zu viel zu sein.  Dass du permanent anzweifelst, ob deine Wahrnehmung und deine Reaktionen okay sind. Vielleicht kennst du das aus deinem Alltag:Du überlegst im Meeting dreimal, ob du wirklich was sagst.Du grübelst abends auf dem Sofa, ob du die richtigen Worte gewählt hast.Du fragst dich tagelang, ob deine Antwort auf die Bemerkung deiner Chefin „angemessen“ war. Das Paradoxe: Eigentlich weißt du tief im Inneren, dass du dir vertrauen kannst. Und trotzdem überrollt dich immer wieder dieser Zweifel an deiner eigenen Wahrnehmung. Warum das so ist? Viele leistungsstarke Frauen haben früh gelernt, perfekt zu funktionieren. 12 To-Dos, 37 Mails, 7 Meetings am Tag.  Gar kein Problem. Alles, was nicht reinpasst, wird weggeschoben. Weil Papa früher mit deinen Gefühlen nicht umgehen konnte, ist auch heute in deinem vollgetakteten Alltag kein Raum dafür. Aber die Emotionen verschwinden nicht.  Sie klopfen nach einem langen Arbeitstag an. Sie kreisen im Hintergrund wie ein ungewolltes, düsteres Mobile über deinem Bett und flüstern: „Was war das heute eigentlich?“Du kannst dir hier für 0€ meinen 10-Minuten-Grübel-Stopp herunterladen, um auf dem Sofa um 21 Uhr nicht mehr nur an das Meeting um 10 Uhr zu denken. Du wünschst dir, dass Arbeit einfach Arbeit ist und du sie mit dem Schließen der Bürotür hinter dir lassen kannst? In meinem 1:1 Coaching begleite ich dich dabei, unerschütterlich zu werden. Hier kannst du dir ein Kennenlerngespräch mit sichern: www.insauhlenkamp.com/coaching

In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit hinter die Kulissen einer der größten Entscheidungen meines Lebens: Warum wir als Familie für ein Jahr nach Mallorca gehen, was dieser Schritt emotional mit mir macht und weshalb Loslassen oft der Anfang von mehr Klarheit ist. Außerdem erwartet dich ein inspirierendes Gespräch mit Karriere- und Persönlichkeitscoach Ragnhild Struss. Wir sprechen darüber, warum sich ein Leben nach außen erfolgreich anfühlen kann und sich innerlich trotzdem nicht stimmig anfühlt. Es geht um Authentizität, Selbstwert, innere Konflikte und die Frage, wie wir Entscheidungen treffen, die wirklich zu uns passen.   Was du in dieser Folge erfährst warum wir für ein Jahr nach Mallorca auswandern und was mich gerade emotional beschäftigt weshalb Loslassen oft schmerzhaft ist und gleichzeitig Raum für Neues schafft wie wir erkennen, ob wir wirklich nach unseren eigenen Werten leben warum Unzufriedenheit ein wichtiger Hinweis für persönliche Entwicklung sein kann welche Rolle Emotionen bei guten Entscheidungen spielen weshalb Authentizität nicht bedeutet, dass sich alles leicht anfühlen muss wie du innere Klarheit findest, wenn verschiedene Bedürfnisse gleichzeitig laut werden HER KLUB EVENT-WAITLISTS – DON'T MISS! 29.

O capítulo 13 de Marcos é conhecido como o "Sermão Profético" ou o "Pequeno Apocalipse". O texto apresenta três temas principais: a queda de Jerusalém e a destruição do Templo, os sinais que precederão o fim dos tempos e o anúncio glorioso da segunda vinda de Jesus.A doutrina da segunda vinda de Cristo é o grande "motor" da santidade cristã no Novo Testamento. Jesus não nos deu os sinais do fim para satisfazer a nossa curiosidade sobre o futuro, mas para despertar a nossa consciência no presente. A certeza do retorno de Cristo deve nos impulsionar a viver uma vida de separação do mundo, vigilância e prontidão ativa.Cada cristão é um súdito do Reino que aguarda o retorno do Rei.Pr.

In this episode of the podcast, we get real about a question almost every female real estate investor faces at some point: “Is my market the problem… or am I just early?” We share the story of Jamie, a WIIRE community member who came to us ready to pivot to a new city. After talking through her situation, she didn't switch markets—she wrote an offer on an 8‑unit deal in the very city she was ready to abandon. We unpack exactly why. We walk through: Why quitting a market after 1–3 deals keeps you stuck in “Zillow beginner mode” The power of deep local knowledge—rents, ARVs, school districts, “weird” pockets, and neighborhood vibes you'll never see on Google Maps How long-term relationships with local lenders, realtors, and contractors can lower your costs, strengthen your offers, and get you access to off‑market deals Why consistency (even one deal every year or two) naturally moves you up the “totem pole” with agents, banks, and vendors How community and honest conversations with other women investors can stop you from burning it all down on a hard day If you've ever late‑night Zillow‑searched your way into believing “everyone else just has a better market,” this one's for you.       Resources: Book your spot at WIIRE Summer Camp before it fills up Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

For more than 15 years, Jeremy Puglisi has explored North America by RV, building a lifetime of experiences that have inspired thousands of campers through RV Atlas. In this episode of RV Out West, host Brooks Smothers sits down with Jeremy for an honest conversation about family travel, campground culture, and the lessons that only years on the road can teach.Jeremy reflects on how a simple decision to buy a pop up camper evolved into a career creating RV content while also giving his family countless opportunities to explore the United States together. He shares why RV travel remains his favorite way to vacation, the value of slowing down, cooking outdoors, and connecting with friends around a campfire.

SALMOS 29-30Nos salmos de hoje, contemplamos a voz poderosa do Criador na natureza e o testemunho íntimo de cura e livramento da morte; a soberania de Deus se manifesta tanto no macrocosmo quanto nas dores da nossa alma. O salmo 29 narra a Glória e o Poder da Voz do Senhor. Através de uma descrição poética impactante, o salmista convoca os seres celestiais a renderem glória a Deus e descreve a "Voz do Senhor" operando com poder sobre as grandes águas, despedaçando os cedros do Líbano e sacudindo o deserto, culminando com o Senhor assentado como Rei eterno que abençoa o Seu povo com paz. O salmo 30 relata a Ação de Graças pela Recuperação da Vida. Davi exalta ao Senhor por tê-lo tirado da cova e não permitir que os seus inimigos se alegrassem com a sua ruína. Há um reconhecimento de que a ira de Deus dura apenas um momento, mas o Seu favor dura a vida inteira, imortalizando a virada em que o choro da noite dá lugar à alegria do amanhecer, e o luto é transformado em dança.

What does it take to go from spending 18 months chasing your first commercial real estate deal to raising more than $12 million in private capital and participating in over 40 syndications? In this episode, Trevor Thompson shares the lessons behind his seven-and-a-half-year journey from passive investor to active sponsor and Vice President of Investor Engagement at Massive Capital. Trevor reveals how he raised $380,000 in just five days on his first capital raise, why commercial real estate is a team sport, and how focusing on his strengths in relationships and investor engagement helped accelerate his growth. He also discusses losing $75,000 on his first GP deal, the importance of choosing the right sponsors and partners, why investors must know, like, and trust you before they invest, and the critical shift from raising capital to attracting capital. Whether you're working toward your first deal or looking to grow your investor network, this episode delivers practical lessons on relationships, resilience, credibility, and building lasting success in commercial real estate.5 Key Takeaways1. Commercial Real Estate Is a Team Sport Trevor explains why investors and entrepreneurs don't need to master every aspect of commercial real estate themselves. Identifying your strengths, finding experienced partners, and becoming part of the right community can help you move forward without trying to do everything alone.2. Focus on Attracting Capital, Not Chasing It One of Trevor's biggest mindset shifts was moving from “raising capital” to “attracting capital.” He explains why desperation can push investors away and why consistently educating, helping, and building relationships creates stronger opportunities over time.3. Investors Must Know, Like, and Trust You First Trevor shares examples of investors who took anywhere from 10 minutes to three years before investing. His experiences demonstrate why every investor requires a different approach and why long-term relationships, education, referrals, and consistent follow-up matter.4. Failure Can Become Valuable Experience After losing $75,000 on his first GP deal and later walking away from another deal after losing $68,000, Trevor explains how setbacks can provide critical lessons, strengthen credibility, and help investors and operators make better decisions in the future.5. Take Action, But Choose Your Partners Carefully Trevor encourages investors to say yes to opportunities, keep learning, and continue moving forward—but not out of desperation. He emphasizes the importance of understanding who you're doing business with, evaluating sponsors carefully, and surrounding yourself with experienced people before committing to a deal.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail podcast, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with one of retail technology's most accomplished leaders: Julie Averill, former Chief Information Officer of Lululemon and REI, and author of the new book Chief Impact Officer: Real Transformation Comes from Human, Not Just Artificial Intelligence. Joining the conversation is Menachem Salinas, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Nimble, the expert AI web search platform making live web data enterprise-grade. A self-described "serial retail technologist," Julie's career spans the defining chapters of modern retail technology. She spent a decade at Nordstrom leading pioneering omnichannel initiatives, drove a technology transformation as CIO of REI, and then took a leap to a then-$2 billion company called Lululemon — where, over eight years as CIO, she helped power the brand's growth to $10 billion. Today, she runs her own advisory business focused on enterprise AI adoption, and her new book makes the case that real transformation comes from people, not just technology. Drawing on years of parsing signal from noise in the CIO chair, Julie delivers a masterclass in AI reality-checking. Her verdict on where retail stands in the AI journey? "Maybe the first inning." She argues the technology itself is now the easy part — the real reasons so many AI pilots fail are data quality, governance, workflow readiness and organizational capability. Julie shares the exact questions she asks to separate a slick demo from a solution built to survive contact with a real omnichannel operation: Whose data does this run on? What workflow actually changes, and for whom? Who owns the errors? What does this cost at scale? And she tells a cautionary tale of a board-driven AI pitch that promised everything — and why "yes, we can do everything" is the surest sign of an immature vendor. Julie also maps the future of the CIO role itself: from technology gatekeeper to curious, strategic business enabler. With AI tools now arriving through the browser, control is gone — the new job is curation, education and helping executives tell what's real. The businesses that win, she argues, will be the ones that learn to evolve continuously and dream about what was previously impossible. Menachem Salinas adds the vendor-side perspective, explaining how Nimble delivers real-time competitive pricing, digital shelf monitoring and out-of-stock intelligence across thousands of retail sites — and why he believes agentic commerce will transform e-commerce within twelve months. His candid ShopTalk Barcelona assessment: even the world's biggest brands rate no better than five out of ten on AI data readiness.

Adoração em Santidade | Dia 1 | Adoração | 08-07-2026Mais do que uma expressão espiritual, a adoração em santidade é um chamado poderoso, um desafio urgente e um imperativo divino. Ela é, ao mesmo tempo, uma estratégia - a maior e mais poderosa arma de batalha espiritual em nível estratégico. Adorar a Deus na beleza da Sua santidade é detonar os poderes do inferno e estabelecer o governo do Rei dos Reis sobre toda a criação.

LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA:  MATEUS 25:31-40 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: JÓ 36–37; ATOS 15:22-41 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Nos anos 1800, Elizabeth Fry chocou-se com as condições numa prisão feminina de Londres. Mulheres e seus filhos ficavam todos amontoados, obrigados a dormir no chão de pedra gelado. Embora não recebessem roupa de cama, uma torneira lhes fornecia gim. Durante anos, ela visitou a prisão e promoveu mudanças, forneceu roupas, abriu uma escola e ensinou a Bíblia. Mas, para muitos, sua maior influência era a sua presença amorosa com palavras de esperança. Com suas ações, ela seguiu o convite de Jesus para servir os necessitados. Por exemplo, no monte das Oliveiras, Cristo compartilhou várias histórias sobre o fim dos tempos, incluindo a chegada dos justos na vida eterna (MATEUS 25:46). Nesta história, o Rei conta aos justos que eles lhe deram de beber, o convidaram a entrar e o visitaram na prisão (vv.35-36). Por não se lembrarem de ter feito isso, o Rei responde: “quando fizeram isso ao menor destes meus irmãos, foi a mim que o fizeram” (v.40). Que maravilha! Servindo aos outros com a ajuda do Espírito Santo, servimos ao Senhor Jesus. Podemos seguir o exemplo de Elizabeth Fry: podemos servir em casa, por meio das orações intercessoras, ou enviando mensagens encorajadoras. Jesus convida-nos a amá-lo ao usarmos os nossos dons e talentos espirituais para ajudar aos outros.  Por: AMY BOUCHER PYE

We're sharing seven real-life wins and lessons from women inside the WIIRE community—and how you can apply them to your own investing journey.

You can't foreclose on an Indian casino — so how do you pull $20 million back out of one? In this episode of the HERO Capital Show, Logan sits down with Brian de Armas, CEO and founder of River Oaks Commercial Capital, a national private lending institution built for real estate investors who are tired of depository lenders cherry-picking only the best loans. Brian — the self-described "accidental banker" whose career took off after he made 100 cold calls in a world before the internet — reveals how he's fueled billions in commercial and residential production without ever taking a single commercial foreclosure. He unpacks what gives a deal real "substance," why he woke up in 2022 and decided to become his own lender, how he converts equity into debt to hand sponsors more leverage and less dilution, and where he's quietly moved his hunt for investors (off Meta ads and onto LinkedIn and private equity). From rescuing a syndication that handed its builder all the money up front, to the give-don't-take reality of working with Dubai family offices, to the one piece of software he says he couldn't run his business without, this is capital raising seen from the debt side of the table — and a candid case for why, as long as the market holds, Brian believes the future is "golden." If you raise money or fund deals, you can't afford to miss this one.5 Key TakeawaysControl your own capital. Brian's 2022 turning point was deciding to become his own lender and raise money to loan back out — because when deals don't get done, they destroy your reputation. Owning your capital source means you can close every deal you take on.Never release syndication funds all at once. The mistake he's actively bailing out right now: sponsors handed all the money up front. Tie every disbursement to completed, inspected milestones (permits, rebar, cabinets) so no one can skim or run off with investor capital.Show up lender-ready. Before approaching financing, have your money lined up, your deal ready, and your title, entitlements, and permits in hand — otherwise you force the lender to go hunt for money after you're already trying to close.Pick up the phone and show up in person. Relationships (and deals) are still built by calling your network and meeting face-to-face — Brian says he lands the deal roughly 99% of the time when he shows up in person, and that family offices reward you for how much you give, not what you take.Convert equity into debt for smarter leverage. From the debt side, Brian can turn 10–15% into significantly more leverage — reducing how many investors a sponsor needs and helping the principal keep more of their ownership.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Jeremy Phoenix aka Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, aka Javos, a Navajo-born, Amish-country-raised, REI-employed, grave-digging, Princeton-attending thru-hiker who completed the Colorado Trail in 15 days on his first ever backpacking trip and has been making up for lost time ever since.  In this one, Smitty walks us through completing the 24-hour challenge three separate times on the PCT, a free solo fall from 35 feet- that he just kind of walked off, getting stalked by a mountain lion, surviving shin splints for almost the full PCT, and a harrowing midnight ice traverse below Mount Whitney with no traction. He also shares what it means to be Navajo in America, including having code talker grandparents and introducing himself to the land before every new section of trail.  We wrap the show with a tribute to longtime Patreon supporter Bill Jensen, who recently passed away on the CDT, the biggest thru-hiking preparation mistake- according to Peg Leg, addressing the question of which direction people predominantly face in the shower, and the triple crown of things you can easily live without but nonetheless should be free for everyone.

What separates investors who thrive through multiple market cycles from those who get left behind? In this episode, Maureen Miles shares the real-world lessons behind acquiring more than 3,500 multifamily units, raising over $75 million in private equity, and strategically exiting most of her portfolio near the height of the market. Drawing from decades of experience in construction, property management, syndication, and asset management, Maureen reveals how she transitioned from buying small multifamily properties to scaling a portfolio worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She discusses the importance of operational excellence, conservative underwriting, recognizing market signals, building the right partnerships, and why education and networking have been instrumental throughout her journey. Whether you're acquiring your first deal or preparing to scale your portfolio, this conversation delivers practical insights from someone who has successfully navigated multiple real estate cycles.1. Operational Excellence Creates Long-Term Success Acquiring a property is only the beginning. Maureen explains why construction knowledge, property management, asset management, and controlling operating expenses are what ultimately determine a deal's success. 2. Market Cycles Reward Disciplined InvestorsMaureen shares the warning signs that led her to exit much of her portfolio near the peak of the market, including compressed cap rates, aggressive bridge debt, and pricing that no longer made operational sense. 3. The Biggest Deals Require the Right TeamMoving from small multifamily properties to large apartment communities became possible by partnering with experienced operators, surrounding herself with strong teams, and leveraging complementary expertise. 4.

What if building generational wealth wasn't about where you started—but about the decisions you make today? In this episode, Wendy Yee and Evon Mattison share how they grew from single-family investing into a multifamily portfolio of more than 600 doors valued at over $100 million. Drawing from over 40 years of combined real estate experience, they discuss their transition from LPs to GPs, the lessons learned from market downturns, the importance of transparency and credibility when raising capital, and why consistency, discipline, and taking action matter more than waiting until you're ready. They also reveal how they attract investors, build lasting relationships, leverage social media and education, and use multifamily investing as a vehicle to create freedom, stability, and a legacy that outlives them. If you're an investor or entrepreneur looking to scale your impact, strengthen your mindset, and build wealth with purpose, this conversation delivers practical insights you can apply immediately.5 Key takeaways from this episode1. Wealth Building Starts with Intention and Action Wendy and Evon emphasize that building generational wealth isn't about coming from wealth—it's about taking consistent action, staying disciplined, and committing to a long-term vision. 2. Credibility Is Earned Through Transparency Investors trust operators who openly share both wins and losses. The couple explains how honesty, transparency, and investing their own capital helped establish trust with investors. 3. Capital Raising Is a Skill That Can Be Learned Despite years of real estate experience, they initially felt uncomfortable raising capital. Through education, mentorship, and consistent practice, they learned how to confidently present opportunities and build investor relationships. 4. Strong Fundamentals Matter More Than Chasing Deals Their investing philosophy is rooted in conservative underwriting, risk management, and letting the asset speak for itself rather than pursuing deals simply to increase unit counts or transaction volume. 5. Relationships Drive Long-Term Success Whether with investors, partners, or tenants, genuine relationships are at the center of their business. Personal connection, consistent communication, and serving others create trust that compounds over time.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Rei Vardi is the Founder and CEO of Eon. He started it as a side project in his dorm room at Boston University and built it into a national EV mobility platform with 3,000+ cars in over 30 cities. He bootstrapped everything and reached scale without raising outside capital. Eon connects underused electric vehicles to people and companies that need flexible access. Renters get a simple way to drive an EV. Owners earn passive income through their virtual fleet model. The platform has generated over $10 million dollars for owners and helped save over 16 million pounds of CO₂. Rei's background is in biomedical engineering and he has always been interested in building real world systems. Eon grew out of that. Most of his work now is focused on improving automation, expanding their network, and making the experience as simple as possible for both renters and owners. In episode 685 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out when Rei knew he had to walk away from the "safe path" in life, what was the craziest thing that happened in the early days of his business, how college students will know when to go "all in" on their business idea, how he was able to create momentum as an entrepreneur, how bootstrapping the business made it grow stronger, how students should apply systems to grow their organization, what side hustles are available for college students today, and whether all cars will be subscription based in 10 years instead of owned. Enjoy!

What does it really take to scale from flipping houses to acquiring more than $300 million in real estate? In this episode, Paul Williams shares the lessons he learned after starting as a college student investor, building a trucking company, exiting that business, and going all-in on real estate. Paul breaks down his journey from single-family investing and high-volume house flipping to owning and operating nearly 2,000 multifamily units, while discussing capital raising, credibility, investor relationships, market cycles, and the opportunities he sees in today's multifamily market. He also shares candid insights on mistakes, lessons from both successful and struggling investments, why consistency matters more than speed, and how aspiring investors can build the track record, relationships, and confidence needed to grow in commercial real estate. If you're looking to raise capital, scale your portfolio, or learn from someone who has navigated multiple market cycles, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 5 Key TakeawaysWhy Paul Transitioned from Single-Family to MultifamilyAfter completing 20+ flips per year, Paul realized the constant transaction cycle was demanding and difficult to scale. Multifamily offered a path to larger-scale growth with greater efficiency. The Fastest Way to Build CredibilityEarly in his career, Paul leveraged the track records of experienced operators. Today, he emphasizes that consistency, relationships, and a proven track record are the strongest credibility builders in capital raising. How Organic Content Attracts InvestorsPaul shares how simple educational videos and consistent market visibility have generated investor interest, including reconnecting with people he hadn't spoken to in decades. Why Today's Market May Present a Major Buying OpportunityDespite investor caution following recent market challenges, Paul believes current market conditions are creating opportunities similar to previous strong buying periods, particularly for disciplined multifamily investors. The One Trait That Separates Successful InvestorsAccording to Paul, most people quit before they reach success. His advice is simple: stay in the game long enough, keep learning, keep building relationships, and eventually opportunities will compound in your favor.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

In this episode of the WIIRE podcast, we're getting personal about the mindset behind building a real estate portfolio as women, beyond the constant “hustle harder” messaging. Using Amelia's journey from taking almost a year off buying to closing on another 11‑unit, we unpack: How we define seasons of scaling and stabilizing in our businesses Why nonstop growth without a stabilizing season leads to burnout, chaos, and risky over‑leverage How we've used pruning (selling what no longer serves us) to create space and capital for better deals The role of divine timing, preparation, and working capital in landing the right opportunities How each property has been a building block, not a home run—and how those reps built our confidence We also share candidly about: Choosing to be the bigger person with tenants, contractors, and lenders Letting go of the need to “win” every conflict to protect our peace How masterminds and community helped us think bigger, invest in coaching, and normalize 7‑figure goals Why being in rooms with ambitious women investors completely changed our trajectory If you're a woman trying to decide when to push, when to rest, and how to think bigger in real estate, we recorded this episode for you.     Resources: Book your spot at WIIRE Summer Camp before it fills up Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram
