Meet Jeff Fenster, a serial entrepreneur, problem solver, and relationship builder who's scaled multiple businesses by identifying problems worth solving - and assembling the right team to tackle them. Inspired early on by A Shark Never Sleeps, Jeff set out to become a sports agent, only to pivot right after law school and dive into entrepreneurship. His first venture began with a bold move - calling his employer's bluff and walking out to start his own company, only to face a major hiccup when payroll checks were accidentally sent to clients. Through trial, error, and big wins, Jeff has honed his entrepreneurial philosophy: “If you can live in your greatness, success is guaranteed.” That philosophy was put to the test when he dreamed up what would become Everbowl. Despite critics pointing out he wasn't a chef - and that most restaurants fail - Jeff saw the opportunity. Why? Because business owners, not chefs, build successful restaurant brands. From that insight, he coined: “Experience is the most overrated prerequisite to starting a company.” From the lessons of building Everbowl, Jeff launched his latest venture - WeBuild - a company that helps others bring their physical business ideas to life by streamlining construction and buildouts. Jeff also shares insights weekly on his podcast, The Jeff Fenster Show, where he interviews top performers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and creators about what makes them great.   In this episode, we talk about: • How Jeff approaches building multiple businesses at once • The role of self-awareness in entrepreneurial success • His 5 core principles for life and business • His latest book, Relationship Capital, which dives into the power of networking, mentorship, and building value through people • Business relationships with names like Neil Patel, Drew Brees, Shaq, and the GoFundMe founders • Why he believes investing in people is the ultimate multiplier • His new venture, WeBuild, and what he's solving next • And the power of storytelling through The Jeff Fenster Show   Plus, we get into tacos (of course): Jeff's favorite taco spot: Casero Taqueria His taco order: The al pastor, shrimp, and whatever the weekly special is.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we get a fresh Pirates Perspective with our favorite fellow Category Pirates Eddie Yoon and Katrina Kirsch on why Relationship Capital is the most underrated form of wealth. In business, success is often attributed to strategy, skill, and spreadsheets. But the truth is, it's deeply personal. The strongest careers and ventures are built not just on solo efforts but on shared battles, purpose, and risks. This is where Relationship Capital comes into play—an intangible but invaluable form of wealth that defines long-term success. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Business is Radically Personal Many people believe that business is purely transactional, but the truth is that all business is personal. The deals you close and the partnerships you build are deeply rooted in human connections. It's not just about numbers; it's about trust and loyalty. Legendary careers are built not just on talent or hard work but on meaningful relationships. By investing genuinely in people, you create alliances that stand the test of time and challenges. When people trust you, they are more likely to go to battle with you and for you. Shared Purpose Builds Unbreakable Bonds Relationships that transcend transactions are grounded in shared purpose. When people come together for a common cause, the bonds formed are unbreakable. This shared vision fosters trust, collaboration, and loyalty. Whether you're launching a startup or leading a team, aligning on purpose ensures everyone moves in the same direction. It also brings people of diverse backgrounds together, united by a mission that goes beyond personal gain. This is the foundation of long-lasting, impactful connections. Risk and Reward in Relationship Capital Building deep connections requires vulnerability and risk. Genuine relationships are built when people stand by each other during challenges. This emotional investment may not always yield immediate results, but it leads to exponential rewards over time. Those who take risks in relationships—whether by showing support during failures or celebrating successes—create bonds that are resilient and meaningful. In the end, it's not the number of LinkedIn connections that matters but the people who stand by you when it counts.

What's more important, time or money? If you have a lot of time, but not a lot of money, you may say that money is more important. On the other hand, you can always make more money, but once you spend your time, you can never get it back.  In this episode, Matt talks with time-optimization expert David Buck about some game-changing strategies for taking control of your time. They explore the differences between time management and time optimization, balancing work and family, overcoming distractions, and practical strategies for saying no and structuring your schedule. Procrastination is the #1 time and money sucker – and specificity is key to conquering it and those lingering to-dos. Listen in and learn how small adjustments can lead to BIG results! Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:  Prioritizing family over career by building "relationship capital" Smartphone distractions as the #1 time challenge and morning/evening routines  The economic costs of procrastination Overcoming procrastination through specificity [08:24] Building "Relationship Capital" to Prioritize Family Over Career Create an overall "life purpose statement" to help make values-based decisions. A key part of this is building "relationship capital" – fostering understanding with employers so that flexibility is allowed when family needs arise. By developing trust through consistent performance, one can negotiate time off for important personal events while still meeting work commitments through established relationships. This balance helps to optimize both career and family responsibilities. [12:15] Minimizing Distractions and Routines for Staying Present and Productive Distractions, especially from smartphones, are identified as the number one challenge for time management. Some ways to minimize distractions include quarantining phones during important tasks, and having morning and evening routines like airplane mode overnight and turning phones off in the car to avoid distraction. [22:52] The Economic Costs of Procrastination  David defines procrastination as intentionally delaying something that will end up hurting you. This delay can cause negative economic impacts by missing commitments, incurring unnecessary costs, or overloading your schedule to the point where you can't keep up. Procrastination has the biggest economic impact of all the time management challenges. When you procrastinate, it's like you're experiencing a flood – tasks and obligations continue piling up without any way to release or manage them. Delaying tasks compounds the issues, as more things get added to your plate that then need to be pushed back as well.  [23:48] Overcoming Procrastination Through Specificity Specificity is key to overcoming procrastination. Break down projects into detailed steps and tasks, and assign them targeted due dates to gain clarity, momentum, and a sense of progress. Planning calendars in detail two weeks out also provides structure and accountability.

We think of ourselves as real estate investors.  That means we invest in properties, right?  Not so fast.  It may be properties that we buy, but it's not properties we actually invest in. In this episode, Jeff explains that the investment we're making is not in the property, because the property is just the investment vehicle.  Rather, the investment is in ourselves and our ability to take a property and make it into a winner.  This important reframe can change your perspective on what you're doing and can empower you to further invest in yourself.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

There are certain decisions we must make in life and business that we recognize as being big and important decisions, and we allocate much time and energy to them. There are other decisions we must make that seem small and insignificant; in fact, sometimes we don't even realize they are decisions at all, and to these we allocate very little time and energy. In negotiation, though, the seemingly small decisions can be of large importance, and it's critical that we give them the thought and consideration they deserve.  In this episode, Jeff provides a simple and common example of a seemingly small decision that represents a bigger point in a negotiation, and encourages listeners to not underthink the right way to handle it.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Most real estate investors have been taught to focus on numbers, numbers, numbers.  And numbers are indeed very important, but numbers without CONTEXT are meaningless.  In this episode, Jeff explains the expression “from people come numbers,” and discusses how people are the needed CONTEXT, while numbers are the needed CONTENT.  Without understanding the context (people), we can't possibly negotiate the best and most optimized deals.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Today, we're delving into an often underestimated yet profoundly influential form of wealth: Relationship Capital.  In our pursuit of success, we often overlook the pivotal role people play. It's not just about networking; it's about fulfilling our lives, gaining knowledge, and reclaiming time by leveraging relationships. People are the fuel that fills our cups and enables us to navigate life more efficiently. Drawing parallels between the "hunter" and the "farmer," we examine two distinct mindsets towards relationships. While the hunter seeks instant gains, the farmer nurtures and cultivates connections over time. Discover how adopting the farmer's approach can yield exponential benefits in the long run. It's not merely about taking; it's about giving back and adding value. By entering rooms and communities with a mindset geared towards giving, we paradoxically gain immeasurably more. Tune in, and let's explore how you can harness the immense potential of Relationship Capital in your life! Remember, it's not just about who you know, but the depth and authenticity of those connections that truly define the strength of your relational capital.      Thanks for listening! ………………………………….   Connect with Kara on Instagram: @kara_ayala https://www.instagram.com/kara_ayala/?hl=en   Check out Andreea and I's Free Monthly Master Class    If you're an accredited investor woman looking to start investing and wanting a community, check out Reign & Co!:  www.reignand.co

Often times the best way to learn is to hear the real life deal stories from other real estate investors doing great things! In this episode, Jeff interviews The DEALS Workshop and coaching client Pasha, who purchased four off-market duplexes at once, all from the same Seller!  Pasha tells the story of how the lead originally started, the hurdles in the negotiation and how he conquered them, how we ultimately financed the acquisition and what he learned along the way!

There are many different things a real estate investor must know about and be able to do. From deal analysis to understanding construction to having property management knowledge and beyond, there's a lot to learn and know. But there's one skill that rises above the others.  In this episode, Jeff explains a huge irony for most real estate investors:  the desire to seek financial independence through real estate, but the dependence on lenders, appraisers and others in doing so. Jeff shares the #1 most important skill that can be cultivated to create true independence and why it's so important.

As buyers of real estate, we wish we could have every great opportunity be competition-free.  After all, who wants to compete with other buyers for every great deal?  But the truth is, we can't avoid competition; we can simply choose which type of competition we want to face.  In this episode, Jeff explains the different types of competition that come from different types of Sellers, and ultimately shares which type of competition we as Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs should choose to have.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Relationship Capital is the ignitor to the flame of difference when your attempting to establish a sense of allyship and understanding.  When attempting to travel down a road less travelled and connect with others.  When it comes to: Trust in America: Do Americans trust the police?  Here are some findings from the Pew Research Center. The relationship between the public and police across the United States was brought into sharp focus over the course of 2020 and 2021 following the high-profile killings of several Black Americans by police, including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the worldwide protests that followed. The Center reports only 10% of young black teens and adults believe they'll be treated fairly by police as compared to 18% of Hispanic youth and 16% of Asians who were asked the same question.  The highest level of trust came from whites at a clip of 32% Therefore, I am motivated  to ask the question what's the key to bridging the gap and providing the police and the youth they serve with better camaraderie between the two parties? For some in depth answers to this very question I want to tell you about the Teen And Police Service Academy. The Teen And Police Service Academy (TAPS) was founded in 2011 by the late Chief Brian Lumpkin and Criminologist, Dr. Everette Penn. At the time, the Houston Police Department was granted funds to create a program that would enhance and build a more trusting relationship between teens and police in Houston. Chief Lumpkin, Dr. Penn, and Officer Mott took on this mission and worked collaboratively to build out the TAPS Academy program. In the Spring of 2012, the first Teen And Police Service Academy was launched at Beechnut Academy, a Houston Independent School District alternative school. Data showed there were dramatic positive behavioral changes between youth and police among those who participated in the program. Now, TAPS Academy is a 501-C-3 non-profit organization and has expanded into more than 30 schools nationwide. A distinct component of the program is that TAPS Academy-trained officers spearhead the lessons. Giving law enforcement and the youth a unique chance to get to know each other on equal footing, in order to exchange ideas and learn from each other while also learning an array of life-building skills such as drug and alcohol prevention, conflict resolution, the importance of mental health, safe driving, service learning and more. Currently, TAPS Academy provides 5 programs: TAPS Academy, an 11-week curriculum-based program, TEENPOL – a TEA-accredited class in Texas, TAPS Clubs, Summer Leadership Workshops, and the SB-30 Community Safety Course. Dr. Everette B. Penn is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Teen and Police Service (TAPS) Academy in Houston, Texas. TAPS Academy's mission is to bridge the gap between youth and police and reduce crime through education, skill building, and service-learning TAPS Academy's TeenPol program is a Texas Education Agency approved curriculum which grants one high school credit to students upon completion. TAPS Academy reaches over 1,500 youth annually internationally. Dr. Penn joined me this week to tell me more.   For more information: https://www.tapsacademy.org/ Follow: @tapsacademy Call: (832) .525-1560

When we meet a new Seller lead, our tendency is to immediately begin gathering lots of information. After all, with real estate, there's a lot of information we need, right? Information on the condition of the property, age of mechanical systems, rents, expenses and more.  But while information is important, there's another thing that's also equally—if not more—important than information, that we hardly ever speak of:  Insights from the Seller.  In this episode, Jeff explains what insights are, how they differ from information, and why insights are so critical to our negotiation.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Often times the best way to learn key concepts in real estate are to see and hear them in action in real-life deal case studies!  In this episode, Jeff interviews Tom, a coaching client in The DEALS Workshop.  Tom shares the case study of how he recently purchased an off-market triplex with Seller Financing, by using a highly relationship-oriented approach to negotiating the deal. Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Many real estate investors have an underlying belief that universally all Sellers would prefer to sell their properties for cash, and that selling via Seller Financing is an inferior backup plan they would only reluctantly agree to.  This leads to a belief that if the Seller agrees to Seller Financing, they are doing the Buyer a favor, and would want to be compensated accordingly for that favor.  In this episode, Jeff explains that the best Seller Financing deals do not come from Sellers who feel they are doing the Buyer a favor; instead, the best Seller Financing deals and terms come from Sellers whose needs are being perfectly met by the Seller Financing proposal.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

“Always be willing to walk away” is fairly standard real estate investing advice.  And like with all standard advice, it's important to examine them so that we can formulate our own philosophies to guide our investing.  In this episode, Jeff discusses how “being willing to walk away” is a two-layered conversation:  the internal dialog with ourselves, and the external negotiation with the Seller.  Jeff discusses the merits of being willing to walk away, but also the merits of showing your sincere commitment to NOT walking away.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Conducting due diligence and physical inspections of a property in contract is an important part of the overall real estate investing business. And it can be tempting sometimes to simply do one's own “inspection,” instead of hiring a professional, licensed home inspector—especially when the buyer has experience in construction and renovation. But in this episode, Jeff explains why it's important to always pay for an inspection report—and the reason has less to do with inspection findings, and more to do with relationship-based thoughtful “incremental negotiation.” Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Most real estate investors are open to many different acquisition strategies for finding, negotiating and financing their deals.  Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, tend to be more selective, and stick to the acquisition strategies that best fit their talents and gifts.  In this episode, Jeff describes why employing different acquisition strategies is like playing completely different sports, and explains how this can hinder an investor's growth.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

As real estate investors and rental property owners, are tenants our customers? Seems like an obvious question with an obvious ‘yes' answer, but when we look at it from a different perspective we get a different answer.  In this special 200th episode of Racking Up Rentals, Jeff explains why he does NOT see tenants as customers, and instead sees them in a different role. This change of perspective reframes entirely how we see the business of building a rental portfolio.  Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

The holy grail of relationship-based negotiation and Seller Relations is when your Seller says—or even thinks—“I can tell you're my kind of people.”  In this episode, Jeff tells the story of a coaching client's recent deal, in which the coaching client got the deal as a result of successfully building rapport and leading the Seller to the natural conclusion that the buyer was “their kind of people.” Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

Many real estate investors have a mentality of “I don't care where the deals come from as long as they make sense.” These investors are more than happy to buy properties from wholesalers, through real estate agents, or any other source.  But as Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneurs, we aren't interested in buying properties negotiated by other people—at all.  In this episode, Jeff explains why TREES are so committed to negotiating their own purchases, and discusses the critical differences between buying “properties” and buying “opportunities.” Learn the art of buying properties off-market with Seller Financing using the power of Relationship Capital in The DEALS Workshop:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com
