In this episode of the Real Estate Pros Podcast, host Michelle Kesil sits down with Brett Bowman, Co-Founder and CEO of Suncrest Capital, to discuss his journey into mobile home park and long-term RV park investing. Brett shares how he transitioned from single-family rentals into this niche asset class, the benefits of mobile home park investments—including lower entry costs and recession resistance—and the operational challenges involved in managing tenant- and park-owned homes.The conversation also dives into Brett's broader investment philosophy, highlighting the importance of building reliable local teams, creating strong operating systems, and fostering transparent relationships with investors. He emphasizes education, mentorship, and "failing forward" as key components of sustainable business growth in real estate.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

For this week's show, we are going to dive into a topic uniquely suited for Christmas, and that's unity. The goal is to inspire more people to engage in Workamping and outdoor recreation regardless of their backgrounds. Today, I am joined by Earl B. Hunter Jr., the founder and president of The Unity Folks. It is an award-winning company focused on helping the outdoor and RV industries to invite and welcome people from all backgrounds. Earl spent decades as a business executive, including time as one of the few Black executives in the RV industry, where he helped grow a company from under $1 million to nearly $20 million in revenue. That experience shaped how he now approaches diversity, workforce development and long-term sustainability in outdoor recreation. Through The Unity Folks, Earl works with campgrounds, state and national parks, manufacturers and retailers to help them better understand why many people, especially those from underrepresented communities, have historically felt disconnected from the outdoors. In this conversation, we talk about generational barriers, the importance of education and empathy, and why campgrounds play a critical role in shaping outdoor culture. We also explore how Workampers can serve as ambassadors for unity simply by the way they welcome and interact with guests. My conversation with Earl reinforces how powerful campgrounds can be as places of connection, learning and shared experience. Earl made it clear that inviting people into the outdoors is not about checking boxes or making symbolic gestures. Rather, it is about understanding why some people have not felt welcome, taking the time to educate and listen, and creating environments where respect and empathy come first. For Workampers, that means recognizing the influence you have on guests who may be camping or RVing for the first time. Simple things like explaining campground etiquette, answering questions without judgment and modeling kindness can make a lasting difference. Earl also shared how The Unity Folks works directly with campgrounds and outdoor businesses to provide training and Unity Blaze certification to help them create more welcoming spaces for visitors and workers alike. If you would like to learn more about Earl's company or explore how your campground or business can get involved, visit www.theunityfolks.com or email info @ theunityfolks.com. You can also find The Unity Folks on all major social media platforms. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

This episode was inspired by a pattern I see all the time. Women come into my community thinking they're behind… thinking they need a massive deal or a perfect strategy to get started. So I invited the coaches from The Society of Entrepreneurial Women to share their real stories - not the highlight reels, but the first deals. The messy ones. The small ones. The ones that gave them confidence before they ever gave them cash flow. If you've been waiting for permission to start where you are - consider this it.Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:05 - Why social media lies about ‘the right' first real estate deal01:43 - Jen's first deal: $106K single-family home02:26 - The truth behind big numbers & syndications03:46 - Chrissy's first deal: marrying her landlord04:09 - Losing everything & starting over05:01 - Buying an RV park for $446K → $3M+05:23 - Jessica's first deal: $62K condo, unseen06:22 - From $62K condo to $4.6M assisted living07:42 - Candace's first deal: $42K real estate-backed loan08:18 - Scaling comfort levels over time08:32 - Carolina's first deal: just getting her Monopoly piece09:52 - Building equity, quitting W2s, creating freedom10:38 - Heather's first deal: one STR → $16M portfolio11:24 - Jerry's first deal: house hacking in college12:06 - Humble beginnings & the real takeaway Join Our Women's Mastermind: https://woman.heatherblankenship.com/ Heather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherblankenshipx3 Heather's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heather.blankenship.182/ Heather's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heatherblankenshipx3 Heather's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-blankenship-271908140/ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-me/id1713972310 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4EtqDw41QW193bH3TKnCiI Listen, rate and subscribe!

Chris Scott is the owner and operator of the Whistle Stop Cafe, a combined café, convenience store, gas station, and RV park located in the small hamlet of Mirror, Alberta, Canada. He gained widespread attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for defiantly reopening his business in defiance of Alberta's public health restrictions on in-person dining and gatherings, which led to multiple charges under the Public Health Act, fines, brief jail time, probation, and a high-profile legal battle that ended in his acquittal in 2023. He hosts The Chris & Kerry Show, while building a large online following through social media where he advocated for personal freedoms and criticized government overreach.Tickets to Cornerstone Forum 26': https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone26/Tickets to the Mashspiel:https://www.showpass.com/mashspiel/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Prophet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comUse the code “SNP” on all ordersGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500

What would Christmas look like if you spent it in an RV instead of at home? In this holiday episode of the RV Small Talk Podcast, Lindsay and PJ dive into the idea of camping for Christmas—without ever having done it themselves. They talk traditions, expectations, decorations, food (lots of food), weather worries, campground chaos, and whether taking Christmas on the road creates magic… or just a different kind of chaos. From cinnamon roll traditions and Christmas puzzles to decorating campers, missing loved ones, and embracing imperfect holidays, this conversation explores why we cling to traditions—and why letting some of them go might lead to the best stories of all. Whether you camp for the holidays or stay cozy at home, this episode might just change how you think about Christmas.

We did pretty well with the 3 main themes, but not so good on 4 sub-topics we teased. We will aim to be better targeted on what we highlight for 2026. This week we evaluate how we did on our “Top 10 Tactical Calls” that we published in late January (here). We use a “Good Call” or “Bad Call” framework to assess how we did. Spoiler alert: Overall we did well, but were far from perfect. Finally, we do a broader assessment on how we are feeling about major Super-Spiked themes and topic areas after what has now been 4 years of publishing. What are we proud of, what if anything are we not, and what are we thinking looking ahead. We heard from many of you that appreciated that we did a proper assessment of our calls. Someone even said we were a tough self-grader. It baffles us why everyone doesn't take this approach. Companies put out targets or promises, Wall Street analysts make calls and publish outlook reports, academia and policy shops do their own version of opinion making. All those groups, in our humble opinion, would benefit from doing their own self-assessment. People like them! It's popular. It builds credibility and accountability. This will be our final Super-Spiked of 2025. We will return most likely on January 10th. On behalf of everyone associated with Super-Spiked and Veriten, we wish you and your families a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a great Holiday Season!!!

The primary focus of this podcast episode is to share the invaluable resources provided by RV Help, a platform designed to assist RV enthusiasts in maintaining their mobility and enjoyment of the RV lifestyle. I delve into the features and benefits of RV Help, emphasizing its role as a pivotal tool for ensuring that RVers remain on the road without undue stress. In our discussion, we also explore the nostalgic elements of RV travel, advocating for the integration of memories and experiences that enhance the overall journey. Furthermore, I present practical financial strategies that contrast the pursuit of cost-saving measures against the goal of wealth accumulation, ultimately guiding listeners toward more fulfilling travel experiences. As we transition into discussing serene desert destinations, we underscore the tranquility found in these locales, inviting our audience to embrace the quietude that they offer. Also in this episode of The Smart RVer Podcast, we're talking about a few big themes that all tie together: getting help with your RV, making great memories, saving money, and finding peace and quiet out in the desert. First, we look at what we call “RV help” — the idea of having support so you're not out there on your own when something breaks or you're not sure what to do. This means trusted mobile techs, and resources that help you maintain your RV and keep it road-ready. The goal is simple: less stress, more confidence, and more time enjoying the journey instead of worrying about breakdowns. We also talk about adding a little nostalgia to your travels. Maybe it's decorating your RV with classic signs, old-school camp gear, or visiting small towns that feel frozen in time. Those touches from “back in the day” can turn a normal trip into a memory your family will talk about for years. From there, we shift into Money Saving Tips. We share practical ways to save on fuel, campground fees, and food, without feeling like you're “roughing it” all the time. And we don't stop at saving — we also touch on how your spending on the road can fit into your bigger financial picture, so you're not just funding today's trip, but also building long-term stability. Finally, we slow things down and head into the desert. We highlight peaceful destinations like Anza-Borrego and the Mojave National Preserve — places where the quiet, open space helps you reset. It's about stepping away from the noise, soaking in the scenery, and remembering why you started RVing in the first place. Put together, this episode is about traveling smarter: having the right help, making meaningful memories, being wise with your money, and finding those quiet places that refill your tank in more ways than one.

RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - The RV Accident That Changed Everything Andy and Joanne Larrimore are longtime RVers who, earlier this year, set out on what was supposed to be their biggest adventure yet. They packed up their Class A, hooked up their toad, and rolled out of southeast Massachusetts bound for Florida. The trip started exactly the way RV dreams are supposed to start, sunshine, family time, and a memorable stop at Disney with loved ones in Orlando. But a couple of weeks in, everything changed. Andy came down with a serious upper respiratory infection. Then word came that Joanne's mom, who was in a nursing home, was not doing well. They made the tough decision to cut the trip short and head back north. Somewhere in South Carolina, the unthinkable happened. Andy blacked out behind the wheel, and their rig crashed. Both Andy and Joanne were med-lifted separately to the hospital. They suffered serious injuries, and the road to recovery has not been easy. Thankfully, they are both doing much better today. And here is the part of their story that really matters, they are not done with the RV lifestyle. The Larrimores have chosen to share what they went through, what they learned, and the lessons that could help every one of us travel safer and smarter. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, preparedness, and why even life-changing setbacks do not have to mean the end of the road.

RV NEWS OF THE WEEK ​Forget Candy Bars—This Iowa Mall Vending Machine Dispenses Starlink​ So we've heard of getting a can of soda or maybe a Snickers bar from a vending machine, but a Starlink system?? Yet that is exactly what happened in Iowa! A self-serve vending machine quietly appeared at a shopping mall's food court in Des Moines. It is designed to dispense a standard Starlink dish and accessories, including mounts and the Wi-Fi router. Word is that more are coming. ​No More Reservations: Glacier National Park Rethinks Summer Access​ This is a big story for fans of Glacier National Park… Reservations will NOT be needed at Glacier for the summer of 2026. Why, because the National Parks Service says the system did not work as planned. The reservation system, started four years ago, was supposed to cut down on long afternoon lines by requiring people to register to enter between 7 am and 4 pm. What happened is mid-day traffic was much better, but the early morning crowds trying to beat the registration time became problematic, causing new issues. So now the popular park is doing away with reservations altogether. ​Trump on the 2026 Park Pass? Lawsuit Says Not So Fast​ Okay… we try to steer away from politics but this is a story we couldn't ignore. An environmental group is suing to remove President Donald Trump's picture from the 2026 National Park Service's Annual Pass. The 2026 Annual Pass features a picture of President George Washington and President Trump and the number 250 for the country's 250th birthday. The Center for Biological Diversity's lawsuit claims the design violates a law that requires the America the Beautiful pass to feature a photo taken on public lands that won an annual photo contest. The Secretary of the Interior says the photo winner will be on the pass for foreign visitors, while Trump's picture will be on the one for U.S. residents. Stay tuned.  ​Only in Gatlinburg: Black Bear Steals the Show at Christmas Parade​ Did you hear about what happened as crowds gathered to watch the Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights 50th Annual Christmas Parade last week?  A lone black bear meandered in. The black bear casually cut through the crowds and walked down the parade route for a bit, as stunned onlookers sat along the curb watching in disbelief. Some visitors captured video - after all, this is not something you see every day!  ​Buc-ee's Goes Big Again: 17 New Mega Stops on the Way​ The ultimate road-trip stop, Buc-ee's, is planning to open 17 new locations across the country over the next few years. In 2026, the gigantic convenience store and fuel stop plans to open locations in Huber Heights, Ohio, San Marcos, Texas, and Goodyear, Arizona.

Is this a fuse or breaker issue? Open to suggestions to fix the problem. RV connected to shore power. ANSWER: This happens a lot with RVs. It's almost always a tripped GFI plug. On the Unity, I believe it's on the side of the passenger pass-through storage area or in the bathroom. Just push in the little recessed switch between the plugs and you'll be good. QUESTION: From Larry: Why are Class B campervans so expensive? The one we want is almost $250,000. I can get a Class A for that, or a luxury fifth wheel and a brand new heavy-duty truck. I don't get it. Campervans are small. ANSWER: You're absolutely right to be scratching your head at those price tags. When you see a campervan that's basically built on a cargo van chassis hitting a quarter million dollars, it feels ridiculous, especially when you could roll into a dealership and drive out with a gorgeous 40-foot Class A motorhome for the same money. Or like you said, snag a top-of-the-line fifth wheel and a fully loaded F-350 and still have cash left over. Here's the deal: you're paying a massive premium for engineering magic in a tiny space. Think about it: those Class B builders are cramming a full bathroom with a real shower, a kitchen with actual counter space, sleeping accommodations, storage, and all your systems (electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling) into what's essentially a walk-in closet on wheels. That level of space efficiency doesn't come cheap. The other factor? Volume. The big RV manufacturers are pumping out hundreds or thousands of Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels every year. They've got economies of scale working for them. Meanwhile, Class B builders are producing these things in much smaller numbers, often with semi-custom features and higher-end components. You're not getting the mass-production discount. Plus, that Mercedes, Ford Transit or RAM ProMaster base chassis aren't exactly cheap to begin with, and then you're adding premium materials because everything has to be lightweight and compact. Those fancy European-style cabinets, that space-saving toilet, that innovative bed system: it all costs more than the standard RV stuff. And let's be honest, there's a lifestyle tax baked in too. Class B campervans became the hot ticket for a certain “van life” demographic who wants to look like they're just driving a cool van while secretly having all the amenities. That "stealth camping" capability and the ability to fit in a regular parking spot? The market will bear a premium price for those benefits. Does it make financial sense?

Matt Faircloth interviews Ash Patel, and the two hosts do a 2025 look-back / 2026 look-forward on what they're seeing across major commercial asset classes—plus where they think real estate operators are headed after the last couple years of “extend and pretend”. They start with why triple-net retail has stayed surprisingly strong (including the “no new supply” reality) and why office still feels “toxic” for many banks—creating an “office tsunami” of opportunities and pain as debt resets and distressed deals trade at steep discounts. From there, they dig into multifamily as a tale of two outcomes (legacy fixed-rate wins vs. floating-rate fights), the competitive “insiders only” nature of mobile home parks as private equity pours in, and why self-storage may be overbuilt—while still leaving room for niche plays like wine/boat/RV storage and service-heavy concepts.

In this episode, the CardioNerds (Dr. Natalie Tapaskar, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shazli Khan) discuss the process of heart transplantation from the initial donor selection to the time a patient is discharged with Dr. Dave Kaczorowski and Dr. Jason Katz. We dissect a case where we understand criteria for donor selection, the differences between DBD and DCD organ donors, the choice of vasoactive agents in the post-operative period, complications such as cardiac tamponade, and the choice of immunosuppression in the immediate post-operative period. Most importantly, we highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary teams in the care of transplant patients. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls When thinking about donor selection, you need to consider how much physiologic stress your recipient can tolerate, and this may guide your selection of “higher risk” or “lower risk” donors.   The use of DCD donors has increased the potential donor pool and shortened waitlist times with very similar perioperative outcomes to DBD transplantation.  Post-operative critical care management rests on a fundamental principle to apply as much inotropic/vasoactive therapy as needed to achieve some reasonable physiologic hemostasis, and then getting “the heck out of the way!” There are no standard regimens as practices vary across centers, but rest on providing adequate RV support, maintaining AV synchrony, and early resuscitation.   The RV is fickle and doesn't take a joke too well. RV dysfunction post-transplant is important to watch for, and it can be transient or require aggressive support. Don't miss assessing for cardiac tamponade which can require surgical evacuation- “where there's space, that space can be filled with fluid.”   Induction immunosuppression post-transplant varies across centers, but some considerations for use may include (1) high sensitization of the patient, (2) high risk immunologic donor-recipient matching, and (3) recipient renal dysfunction to provide a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) sparing regimen long term.  Management of heart transplant patients is a multi-disciplinary effort that requires coordination amongst heart failure/transplant cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, pathology/immunologists and a slew of ancillary services. Without a dynamic and collaborative team, successful cardiac transplantation could not be possible.  Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Natalie Tapaskar  What are the basic components of donor heart selection? In practicality, it can be a very inexact science, but we use some basic selection criteria such as: (1) size matching (2) ischemic time (3) donor graft function (4) immunologic compatibility (5) age of the potential donor and recipient (6) severity of illness of the recipient (7) regional variation in donor availability When thinking about accepting older donors (>50 years old), we ideally would screen for donor coronary disease and try to keep ischemic times as short as possible. We may accept an older donor for a recipient who is highly sensitized, which leaves a smaller potential donor pool. There is no clear consensus on size matching, but the predicted heart mass is most used. We are generally more comfortable oversizing than under-sizing donor hearts. Serial echocardiography is important in potential donors as initially reduced ejection fractions can improve on repeat testing, and these organs should not be disregarded automatically. For recipients who are more surgically complex, (i.e. multiple prior sternotomies or complex anatomy), it's probably preferable to avoid older donors with some graft dysfunction and favor donors with shorter ischemic times. What is the difference between DBD and DCD? DBD is donation after brain death- these donors meet criteria for brain death. Uniform Determination of Death Act 1980: the death of an individual is The irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions or The irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including those of the brain stem DCD is donation after circulatory death- donation of the heart after confirming that circulatory function has irreversibly ceased. Only donors in category 3 of the Maastricht Classification of DCD donors are considered for DCD donations: anticipated circulatory arrest (planned withdrawal of life-support treatment). DCD hearts can be procured via direct procurement or normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). The basic difference is the way the hearts are assessed, either on an external circuit or in the donor body. For the most complex recipient, DCD may not be utilized at some centers due to concern for higher rates of delayed graft function, but this is center specific and data is still evolving. What are some features surgeons consider when procuring the donor heart? Visual assessment of the donor heart is key in DBD or NRP cases. LV function may be hard to assess, but visually the RV can be inspected. Palpation of the coronary arteries is important to assess any calcifications or abnormalities. Ventricular arrhythmias at the time of procurement may be concerning. Key considerations in the procurement process: (1) Ensuring the heart remains decompressed at all times and doesn't become distended (2) adequate cardioplegia delivery (3) aorta is cross-clamped properly all the way across the vessel (4) avoiding injury to adjacent structures during procurement What hemodynamic parameters should we monitor and what vasoactive agents are used peri-heart transplant? There is no consensus regarding vasoactive agent use post-transplant and practice varies across institutions. Some commonly seen regimens may include: (1) AAI pacing around 110 bpm to support RV function and preserve AV synchrony (2) inotropic agents such as epinephrine and dobutamine to support RV function (3) pulmonary vasodilators such as inhaled nitric oxide to optimize RV afterload Early post-transplant patients tend to have low cardiac filling pressures and require preload monitoring and resuscitation initially. Slow weaning of inotropes as the patient shows signs of stable graft function and hemodynamics. RV dysfunction may manifest as elevated central venous pressure with low cardiac index or hypotension with reducing urine output. Optimize inotropic support, volume status, metabolic status (acidosis and hypoxia), afterload (pulmonary hypertension), and assess for cardiac tamponade. Tamponade requires urgent take-back to the operating room to evacuate material. Refractory RV failure requires mechanical circulatory support, with early consideration of VA-ECMO. Isolated RV MCS may be used in the right clinical context. Why do pericardial effusions/cardiac tamponade happen after transplant? They are not uncommon after transplant and can be due to: Inherent size differences between the donor and recipient (i.e. if the donor heart is much smaller than the recipient's original heart) Bleeding from suture lines and anastomoses, pacing wires, and cannulation sites Depending on the hemodynamic stability of the patient and the location of the effusion, these effusions may require urgent return to the OR for drainage/clot evacuation via reopening the sternotomy, mini thoracotomy, and possible pericardial windows. What are the basics of immunosuppression post-transplant? Induction immunosuppression is variably used and is center-specific. Considerations for using induction therapy may include: (1) high sensitization of the patient (2) younger patients or multiparous women with theoretically more robust immune systems (3) crossing of recipient antibodies with donor antigens (3) renal function to provide a CNI sparing regimen long term Some considerations for avoiding induction may include: (1) older age of the recipient (2) underlying comorbid conditions such as infections or frailty of the recipient What are expected activity restrictions post-transplant? Sternal precautions are important to maintain sternal wire integrity. Generally avoiding lifting >10 pounds in the first 4-12 weeks, no driving usually in the first 4 weeks, monitoring for signs and symptoms of wound infections, and optimizing nutrition and physical activity. Cardiac rehabilitation is incredibly important as soon as feasible. References Kharawala A , Nagraj S , Seo J , et al.

Travis sits down with long‑time friend and entrepreneur Jason Haugen to unpack the very real, very unsexy side of building and exiting a nine‑location RV dealership group that peaked at $100M a year—then got crushed by a 70% sales drop and exploding interest costs. After taking some time off, walking through his wife's cancer battle, and licking his wounds, Jason is now co‑founder and CEO of Black Jet Ventures, acquiring and growing brands with a focus on operations, marketing, and sustainable profitability. On this episode we talk about: How Jason scaled from a few RV stores to nine locations and $100M+ in revenue—and what actually triggered his decision to sell The brutal reality of a market swing: going from 350–400 units a month to 100, floorplan interest jumping from ~$107k to ~$700k, and why revenue can hide operational inefficiencies Losing $20M, having an executive team walk out, sleeping at the office, and how he managed his mental health and focus through calls from the bank and constant crises Why he believes in “grow, then stabilize, then grow” (not growth at all costs), and how over‑expansion can kill a business even when top‑line numbers look impressive What Black Jet Ventures and Iconic Marketing do today—acquiring CPG and media brands, running a major golf‑focused content/marketing agency, and helping founders build real systems, not just hype Top 3 Takeaways Big revenue doesn't equal real success; without tight operations, intentional growth phases, and clear profitability targets, you can “grow” your way straight into a cash‑flow crisis. Mental resilience in entrepreneurship comes from focusing only on what you can control, staying in motion, and building routines (like golf or other outlets) that let you reset even in the middle of chaos. Sustainable businesses are built by going deep, not just wide: simplifying SKUs, optimizing existing locations, and stabilizing systems before expanding again often leads to far better margins than chasing vanity scale. Notable Quotes “The best thing that ever happened to me was losing $20 million—because I get to take those lessons into everything I do now.” “You can't grow and stabilize at the same time; you grow, then you stabilize, then you earn the right to grow again.” “If you're not absolutely crushing it with three locations, adding six more isn't going to save you—it's just going to multiply your problems.” Connect with Jason Haugen: https://www.iamjasonhaugen.com/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry catch up on the massive shifts they're seeing in the industry. They talk about multigenerational "compound living," the surprising rise of RV-based lifestyles, and how destination markets like Branson and Pigeon Forge are exploding. They zero in on marketing trends: social media nearly overtaking sphere of influence as the top lead gen source, the unexpected comeback of personalized direct mail, and how authentic, human-centric touchpoints are outperforming generic outreach. They also discuss wealth-building, agents adapting to shrinking margins, and how crucial it is for agents to embrace social media and long-term financial strategy to stay relevant.

What happens when a high-income professional realizes their entire financial future is at risk when they stop working? In this episode, Dr. Jeff Anzalone, a periodontist-turned-financial educator, shares how a freak ski accident changed his perspective on income. He realized that relying solely on his practice left him vulnerable. The accident was a wake-up call that led him to build multiple income streams, ensuring financial security and freedom.  Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anzalone and hosts Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso discuss why high-income professionals are at risk when they rely on a single income source and how diversifying with passive income can mitigate that risk. Dr. Anzalone also dives into his journey from being a debt-free dentist to building streams of income that freed him from his "job," offering actionable advice on how anyone can achieve financial freedom through smart investments.    In This Episode: - Dr. Anzalone's ski accident and the wake-up call - The risks of relying on one income stream - What wealthy people do differently - How Dr. Anzalone started building multiple income streams - The difference between being debt-free and financially free - Practicing due diligence when participating in syndications - Why Dr. Anzalone is investing in RV & mobile home parks - The first step to building passive income and multiple streams Resources:

Today, I am speaking with two sisters who have been RVing and Workamping together.  They are having a great time on their adventures, and documenting it for others to enjoy as well. KC and Charlie Houston are sisters who decided to turn a shared sense of humor and curiosity into a full time RV and Workamping lifestyle. KC has been living full time in her travel trailer for three years. In September, Charlie packed up a three-bedroom house, moved into the second bedroom of that trailer, and joined KC on the road. Together, they are currently Workamping in the Texas Hill Country at Lake Buchanan, where they serve as office assistants handling reservations, answering phones, helping in the camp store and pitching in around the campground when needed. The women talk about what it is really like to live and work together in a small space, how they landed their first Workamping job, and the lessons they learned about evaluating opportunities by asking about work hours and compensation. They also share why meeting people, living by the lake and experiencing new regions, like the Hill Country, have made this lifestyle so rewarding. You will also hear about their creative side projects, which include starting a video blog and podcast. If you are curious about getting started in Workamping, figuring out boundaries when you live and work in the same place, or just want an honest and funny look at RV life from two sisters who jumped in together, you will enjoy this conversation. KC and Charlie prove that Workamping can be equal parts adventure, learning curve and lots of laughter. They shared what attracted them to the Workamping lifestyle, the adjustments that needed to be made and how they continue to learn and apply practical lessons. They also talked about learning RV maintenance as they go, from cleaning air conditioning units to figuring out what not to fix yourself, and why staying in one place for several months allows you to really experience a region. Beyond Workamping, they are also documenting their journey through their vlog, Neighborhood to Trailerhood, which takes a humorous, mockumentary style look at everyday RV life. The videos can be found on YouTube. Through their podcast, Adulthood as a Project, KC and Charlie explore life lessons, personal growth and the idea that adulthood itself is always a work in progress. You can find several ways to contact KC and Charlie on their Linktree page at https://linktr.ee/adulthoodisaproject Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News.

FEATURING: Michael Turner ORGANIZATION: Retired businessman, Lake Pastor Michael Turner thought retirement might be slower and simpler. Instead, one year after stepping away from his company – and after a five-year intentional wind-down – he found himself living in an RV at a Georgia campground, fixing trailers, launching boats, mentoring veterans, and eventually preaching weekly to a pop-up campground church. What unfolded was not a retirement plan, but a clear picture of how God repurposes decades of experience for unexpected ministry. In This Conversation Michael describes his five-year transition out of leadership, remaining chairman while gradually releasing day-to-day responsibility and why that helped retirement feel less abrupt. A move to Georgia for his daughter’s college recruitment led to an unusual living arrangement: 16 months full-time in an RV at a large campground with both long-term and transient residents. Michael’s daily prayer: “Lord, use me however You want today” has opened constant opportunities for hands-on service: repairs, transportation, conversations, and practical care. A request to fill in once for a small campground Sunday service slowly became a weekly preaching role. Michael reflects on how decades as an executive prepared him for ministry – clear communication, preparation under pressure, anticipating questions, and engaging people from every background. Realizing the depth of questions being asked, he enrolled at age 65 in a master’s program focused on Christian Apologetics to better serve those he teaches. The campground church removes barriers many feel toward traditional church spaces, welcoming people exactly as they are – camp clothes, hard stories, skepticism and all. Retirement rhythms that matter: staying connected to friends, caring for health, developing hobbies, and avoiding aimlessness by setting 3 daily priorities.

In this episode, we talk with a seasoned RV technician about how to avoid an RV breakdown before it happens. You will learn the most common failure points, the simple checks that catch problems early, and the habits that keep your rig running smoothly and safely. If you want fewer surprises and more confidence on the road, this breakdown prevention conversation is a must-listen. PLUS the News of the Week, Social Media Buzz, and Question of the Week.

Most investors start with a single-family home or a duplex. Jonathan Mueller started with an eight-unit roadside motel he bought for $250K. In this episode, he breaks down how that unexpected detour became the first domino in a journey that led to a 23-unit motel, a 108-site RV park on 70 acres, and a totally different vision for his family's future. Jonathan opens up about overpaying for deals, moving his family across multiple states, living in an RV without running water, and going all-in on projects most people would be too afraid to touch. He shares how medium-term stays outperformed long-term rentals, why RV parks offer endless income streams, and how sweat equity, seller financing, and creative problem-solving helped him scale despite setbacks. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with lessons most people only learn the hard way. If you've ever felt stuck at the starting line, scared to make the wrong move, or unsure if you're “ready,” Jonathan's story is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something big. You just need to start and let the journey evolve. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Hunter, Jr. from Black Folks Camp To make a second visit to The Show. is the Founder and President of Black Folks Camp Too — a marketing-driven business whose mission is to increase diversity in the outdoor industry by making it easier, more interesting, and more fun for Folks to go camping.

You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com What Happened: It was the summer of 2017. I was clocking miles like a long-haul trucker, repping campers for a living. My 7-year-old son called me out—said I'd promised to take him to Mount Rushmore. He was right. I'd driven past it more times than I could count, but I'd never stopped. So we hit the road. We camped our way across the country, father and son, a Black duo in a tiny pop-up trailer, parking it beside some seriously decked-out RV setups. We saw the sights, roasted marshmallows, and somewhere near Albuquerque, we spotted something we hadn't seen in thousands of miles: another Black family camping. My son lit up and said, "Hey Daddy! Black people!" That moment stuck. We talked to the family—Kimberly and crew—and she said something that flipped a switch in my brain: "Why don't you change that then?" That "why not you?" hit hard. By the time we were driving up the California coast, the name Black Folks Camp Too was born. Principle: Too often, we wait for permission—permission to belong, to show up, to start something meaningful. But sometimes, it takes seeing the gap with your own eyes, feeling the silence in certain spaces, to realize: you're the one who's supposed to fill it. And in business, just like in the outdoors, if you're only serving the same people the same way… you're gonna miss the fire. The campfire, that is. Transition: Most people think getting more folks into the outdoors is about better gear or cool photos on Instagram. But that's not it. The real challenge is the invitation—and the welcome. And too many companies still don't know why the diversity gap exists, so they don't know how to fix it. That's why a lot of businesses are struggling. Not because there's no market—but because they don't see who they're ignoring. And even when they do? They get hung up on the word Black in the name… instead of focusing on the unity behind the mission. That's why: That's why this episode matters. Earl Hunter isn't just talking about camping—he's talking about culture, connection, and cracking open an industry that's been too exclusive for too long. He's not asking for handouts or kumbayas. He's showing up with data, vision, and a real plan to shift the outdoor industry before it goes broke. Call to Action (PAS style): If you've ever felt like the outdoor world wasn't built for you—or your brand's been stuck serving the same crowd—it's time to tune in. Ignoring the invitation problem won't fix it. But this episode will give you a fresh lens and a fire to take action.  Hit play now. Let's change the campfire conversation.

Ep 470 Building Wealth   Keeping Your Money is  Rare Skill!   How to Actually Keep Your Money: Why Financial Literacy Matters More Than Income   Most people think their money problems would disappear if they just made more. But as financial coach Alanna Abramsky shared in this episode of Richer Soul, that belief keeps countless high earners feeling stressed, behind, and ashamed. Alanna has worked with realtors, lawyers, doctors, professional athletes—and even with impressive income, many still live paycheck to paycheck. The issue isn't intelligence or effort. It's that no one ever taught them the systems, habits, and emotional tools needed to keep money once they earn it.   This conversation is an invitation to step out of shame, build simple and sustainable systems, and take back control of your financial life—in a way that supports a richer, calmer, more intentional life.   Key Points from the Conversation: High Income Doesn't Equal Financial Confidence. Many people with strong incomes still feel financially anxious because no one taught them the fundamentals—intentional spending, tracking, and planning. Income is not the problem. Leakage is. Systems Beat Willpower Every Time. Alanna helps clients set up automations for savings, debt payments, and long-term goals. Once systems run in the background, money stops being an emotional decision. "Surprise" Expenses Aren't Surprises. Car repairs, holidays, insurance renewals, home maintenance—these predictable events often blow up a client's budget. Alanna uses "irregular expense funds" so these moments stop becoming emergencies. The Emotional Side of Money Needs Healing Too. Shame, avoidance, scarcity, or early trauma often drive money behavior. The numbers can't shift until the underlying story does. For many clients, therapy and financial coaching work hand-in-hand. Women Need Accessible, Judgment-Free Financial Education. A massive wealth transfer is coming—and much of it is going to women. Yet many women still feel intimidated or excluded from financial conversations. Alanna's mission is to change that by creating safe, empowering spaces to learn and lead.   Money Learning from Alanna: Alanna's core lesson is simple: Your money grows when your systems do. Most people try to "save whatever's left," then wonder why nothing is left. She flips the model: Pay yourself first Automate the habits you can't trust willpower to maintain. Track your net worth so you can see progress. Treat "irregular expenses" as predictable. Focus on behavior change more than spreadsheets. Money confidence isn't born from earning more—it's built from clarity and consistency.   Key Takeaway: Financial clarity isn't about perfection—it's about the right systems, the right support, and the courage to face your money with honesty. When you simplify your approach and automate your success, money becomes a tool for freedom rather than stress.   Bio: Alanna has been financial coaching for over 10 years and has helped more than 1,000 Canadians achieve their goals faster than they ever imagined. She started Broad Money with the mission of empowering women+ to take control of their financial futures, offering support and guidance every step of the way. Alanna helps people make money while they sleep by using personalized and actionable strategies that deliver results. Her goal is to help clients kick ass and conquer their finances with a clear, results-driven roadmap. Alanna currently lives in Toronto with her wife, Jacqueline, and their fur-baby, George. In her spare time, she can be found RV'ing across North America, mushroom foraging, visiting local breweries and wineries, and hiking.   Links: Website: www.broadmoney.ca   Instagram: @broad.money  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alannaabramsky/   #RicherSoul #FinancialLiteracy #WomenAndMoney #MoneyMindset #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #PersonalFinance #LifeDesign #MoneyCoaching #IntentionalLiving   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Sally Mann is a photographer and a New York Times bestselling writer. She is best known for making large-format black and white photographs of the people and places in her immediate surroundings: her children, her husband, and the rural landscape of her home state and the American South. Sally was born in Lexington, Virginia, the youngest of three children to Robert and Elizabeth Munger. Her father was a doctor and gave Sally his old Leica camera to play with. After university, she wanted to be a poet but she spent more than a decade as a commercial photographer while starting a family of her own and exhibiting her work on a small scale. She published her first book of photographs in 1984. That same year, she began taking pictures of her three children for a series called Immediate Family, which brought her both renown as well as infamy for touching on ordinary moments in their daily lives – playing, sleeping, and eating, sometimes while naked – but also speaking to larger themes such as death and cultural perceptions of childhood, rendering familiar subjects “both sublime and disquieting”. In the mid-1990s, she began to move away from the family pictures in favour of photographing the landscape around her. Much of Sally's body of work comes from observing what is closest at hand because, she says, “The things that are close to you are the things that you can photograph the best.” She has explored the identity of the American South, and her relationship with her place of origin, as well as mortality and decay, and the effects of muscular dystrophy on her husband. In her latest book, Art Work, she considers the challenges and pleasures of the creative process. Sally continues to live on the 800-acre family farm near Lexington with her husband Larry and a number of dogs.

In this episode, Fred shares chilling wilderness accounts that remind us how quickly the familiar can turn unnerving in remote places. First, Margaret and Kyle set out for a simple berry-picking outing—until an oppressive feeling of being watched settles in. What starts as subtle unease escalates when they spot an enormous figure moving nearby, forcing them into a tense, instinct-driven retreat.Then we head to the Alcan Highway, where Jonathan's late-night drive takes a terrifying turn. Alone in his RV, he's jolted awake by violent impacts against the vehicle—an apparent attack by something powerful, unknown, and determined.With nowhere to run and no clear explanation for what's outside, Jonathan is left to endure a long, fear-soaked night on one of the most isolated roads in North America.Together, these stories explore the raw, primal dread that can surface in the wild, the sense that we're not always alone out there, and the haunting questions that linger when encounters defy logic. Listener discretion is advised—these accounts are intense, unsettling, and may stay with you long after the episode ends.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
