Do you work with family? How does relationship-based networking impact your life? Your company?  Your bottom line? What are some of the biggest misconceptions about networking? In this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Spencer Reynolds and his son Kamryn Reynolds, Co-Executive Directors of BNI Tampa. Originally from Northern Utah, Spencer and his family packed up and  moved to Florida in 2017, trading mountains for sunshine and lakes. With  his wife, Tricia, running the show (let's be honest, she's the boss) and their  four incredible kids—three adventurous adult sons and their adopted  princess, almost 16—they're all about outdoor thrills, especially water sports  and international adventure travel. And when we say "thrills," we mean it!  Spencer's an adrenaline junkie—skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking,  and even trekking to Everest Base Camp with his brothers. If it involves  speed, heights, or a near-death experience, he's probably done it… twice.   (Ask about their Grand Canyon White Water Rafting trip from last year,  wild!)  Before becoming the networking master he is today, Spencer spent 12  years as a mortgage broker before making the leap into professional  speaking and training in 2005. He's taken the stage in every major city  across the U.S. and Canada, teaching professionals how to build systems,  work By Referral Only, and grow businesses the right way with referrals.  Through BNI, he's expanded his reach globally, inspiring thousands of  entrepreneurs to unlock the power of relationships. Kamryn Reynolds is a communication coach, keynote speaker, and the youngest Executive Director in BNI history. He's the founder of Articulate Advantage, helping professionals speak with power, clarity, and confidence. A USF grad, Eagle Scout, and fluent Spanish speaker after serving a two-year mission in Argentina.  Kamryn now specializes in keynotes and trainings for high-end hotels and resorts. Known for his high energy and practical frameworks, he's on a mission to become an Ironman, a TEDx speaker, and an international voice for intentional communication. He lives by one core belief: connection is the currency of opportunity.  Spencer, Kamryn, George & Shawn talk about: What surprises them the most about working together. Early money lessons.

Most land investors stay stuck as flippers. Anshul Sharma didn't. He went from student to eight-figure CEO—and he doesn't even sign his own contracts anymore. That's not lazy. That's smart.   In this episode, we break down the exact shift from doing everything yourself to building a machine that runs without you. We talk county selection (the #1 thing most people screw up), seller financing profits, raising capital, and why you need to free yourself from your own business every 90 days. This is how you scale land without losing your life.   Want more information on our Ultimate Boardroom Mastermind for Land Flippers? Check it out here.

Most land investors stop at wholesaling and leave millions on the table. Cody Bjugan shows us a different path—land entitlements. He takes raw land, gets it approved for development, and sells to national builders for $10K to $100K per lot. No construction, no tenants, just bigger paychecks. The catch? It takes 2+ years, not 30 days. But if you're ready to level up from quick flips to real wealth, this is your playbook.   Learn more at vestright.com/jack

What is the test for discharging a student loan in bankruptcy? Is it even possible? Student loans are non-dischargeable, right? WRONG !! On this week's episode, Shawn is back solo again (we'll hear George back again for next week's episode) interviewing attorney Jeff Hakanson.  Jeff has been an attorney for thirty (30) years! He granduating with his J.D. from South Texas College of Law and has practiced bankruptcy for his entire career.  On November 17, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memorandum on student loan discharges.  What normally fell under the Brunner case and a Totality of Circumstances argument has now been streamlined by the US DOJ to assist in discharging student loan debts under certain circumstances, some of which include: The borrower is over 65; The borrower has a disability; The borrower has been unemployed 5 of the last 10 years; The borrower has attempted repayment in good faith. Typically these discharge cases are started with the filing of an Adversary Proceeding (with no fee if related to Student Loans) and then the debtor / borrower and attorney complete a "litigation package" with certain "attestations."  If the DOJ agrees, then the student loans can be discharged, or maybe modified in some capacity. The memorandum was designed to allow borrowers more clarity on discharging federally backed student loans (not private loans).
