Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with Scott Benson, founder of the Benson Crew, to unpack how agents can shift from chasing transactions to building true wealth. Scott shares how he went from selling phone book ads to becoming one of Canada's most innovative real estate entrepreneurs — leveraging real estate not just to generate income, but to create financial freedom. He dives into how he used private lending, partnerships, and marketing at scale to build long-term wealth and impact. Together, John and Scott explore the mindset, math, and discipline it takes to turn your business into a wealth engine, not just a paycheck. This one's for every agent who's ready to stop working in the business and start working on their future. Key Topics Covered From Phone Books to Freedom How Scott's early career in advertising led him to discover real estate as a wealth-building vehicle The power of seeing opportunity before the market catches up Building Wealth Beyond Commissions Why most agents stay broke even when they earn more How Scott used private lending and investing to make money work for him The compounding effect of financial discipline The Wealth Mindset Shift Why ego kills growth and how humility fuels collaboration How to think like a quarterback, not a player — control the field and your income Using AI and automation to invest smarter, not harder Scaling with Strategy The $1M marketing move that built massive momentum for Benson Crew How strategic partnerships and risk-taking turned a local brand into a market powerhouse What's coming next for team models, AI, and wealth creation in real estate Resources & Mentions Benson Crew Real Estate Patrick Bet-David (PBD Podcast) Choose Your Enemies Wisely by Patrick Bet-David The Motive by Patrick Lencioni John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Stop seeing your real estate business as your final destination — it's just the vehicle.

Every brand wants the next big experiential idea. But too often, what gets delivered is safe, predictable, and easy to forget.Audiences are craving creativity.

If you feel stupid while learning something new, you're doing it right. But if you keep doing the same thing over and over hoping it'll suddenly make sense - that's on you. The trick isn't to push harder; it's to find a new teacher, a new explanation, a new way in.That's exactly how Matthew Broussard approaches comedy - and everything else. A stand-up comedian, math nerd, and former financial analyst, Matthew is obsessed with learning and cracking the formula behind how things work. He treats every joke like an equation, testing, refining, and solving for laughter.He's the creator of Monday Punday, a puzzle webcomic and app, and has been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Conan and Comedy Central's Roast Battle. He's also made appearances on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Mindy Project. His storytelling, including his viral tales about his mother-in-law, proves that logic and vulnerability can live in the same sentence.In this episode, we explore the overlap between comedy and leadership—the art of experimenting, iterating, and connecting through honesty. We talk about the hidden work beneath success, the difference between purpose and perfection, and why laughter might just be the purest form of optimism.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------This episode is brought to you by the Porsche USA Macan---------------------------Check out Matthew's Youtube page for his full comedy special “Hyperbolic”: https://www.youtube.com/@mondaypunday---------------------------

Have you ever felt like the solution to your overwhelm was to add something new - another tool, routine, or to-do - only to end up feeling even more drained? What if the secret wasn't doing more… but doing less? In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Donna McGeorge, a sought-after international speaker, coach, and bestselling author of 15 books including The 25-Minute Meeting, The First 2 Hours, 1 Day Refund, ChatGPT Revolution and her latest, Red Brick Thinking. Donna's work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, and across national TV, and she's known for her no-fluff, high-energy approach that cuts through the noise to create meaningful, lasting change. We dive deep into the concept of Red Brick Thinking - the art of strategic subtraction. It's about stripping away the unnecessary layers of busyness so you can create space, focus, and move forward with clarity. The idea of emotional red bricks really resonated with me; because often, the things that weigh us down aren't on our calendar, they're in our hearts and minds. Letting go of those “bricks” creates space not just for productivity, but for peace. Key Episode Takeaways: The Red Brick Strategy is about strategic subtraction - doing less, but better. Creating space and capacity allows you to give energy to what's truly important. Sleep, movement, and nutrition are the non-negotiable foundations for focus and flow. The power of the “enough” movement - knowing when you've done enough, have enough, and are enough. How tools like ChatGPT can help you reclaim your time by automating the busywork and freeing you up for creative, meaningful tasks. About the Guest: From boardrooms to auditoriums, Donna McGeorge sparks practical change that lasts. A sought-after international speaker, and bestselling author of 15 books, including The 25 Minute Meeting, First 2 Hours, 1 Day Refund, ChatGPT Revolution and her latest, Red Brick Thinking - Donna helps leaders and teams to cut through noise, creating space and capacity for what's most important in their lives. Her work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company and on national TV.

Absolutely — here's the same title and description with a concise, professional disclaimer added: Selling in a choppy market? Jamison breaks down the three big exit paths for multifamily owners: an all-cash sale (and the tax hit), a 1031 exchange into another property, and a Section 721 UPREIT into a REIT—plus where a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) fits. We compare tax deferral, control, fees, estate planning, and flexibility (including NV REIT's semi-liquidity), and outline who each option is best for—from long-time owners “graying out” with low debt to operators still scaling. Bottom line: With a bit of planning before you list, you can potentially save millions in taxes and simplify your life. What we cover: When a straight cash sale still makes sense—and its tax cost 1031 rules, timelines, “like-kind,” and when to level up into larger assets 721 UPREIT: rolling into REIT units for diversification, dividends, and estate simplicity DSTs: why some choose them, typical fee trade-offs, and liquidity constraints How to match your exit to goals: taxes, heirs, control, and hassle factor ⚠️ Disclaimer: This discussion is for informational purposes only and is not tax or investment advice. Always consult a qualified tax professional or financial advisor before making any decisions related to 1031 exchanges, UPREITs, or DSTs.  

Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Brad Johnson, Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Vintage Capital. Brad shares how mobile home park investing is quietly outperforming traditional real estate. He breaks down why this niche is attracting serious investors, the powerful tax advantages that come with it, and how it helps solve America's growing affordable housing problem all while delivering steady, long-term returns.

He dives into his new VICE documentary, Let It Kill You: The Smartest Surfer in the World, and how the project highlights the many ways surfers can elevate their community and contribute to society beyond competition. Cliff shares his journey from growing up in rural Hawai‘i and chasing the dream of free boards and boardshorts, to becoming one of the few Native Hawaiians with a PhD. He discusses the struggle of reconciling what it means to be a “pro surfer,” the support of brands like Vissla and Reef, and his mission to advocate for scientific literacy in the surf community.

Navigating market volatility in retirement requires more than the traditional 60/40 portfolio. This episode explores three critical risks every retiree must address to maintain financial security through changing market conditions.The first is sequence of return risk, which can devastate a portfolio if early withdrawals align with a downturn. Listen to James share his concept of "Root Reserves", setting aside five years of stable investments to provide protection during turbulent periods without selling at a loss.The second is inflation risk. Even modest 3% inflation can nearly triple the cost of living over a typical retirement. This makes growth investments essential, even for conservative retirees, to preserve purchasing power across decades.The third is behavioral risk. There is an emotional side of investing is often overlooked. Understanding personal comfort with volatility is just as important as the numbers. Different types of fixed income play different roles, from providing liquidity to acting as portfolio ballast during market stress.By analyzing cash flow needs, time horizon, and risk tolerance, retirees can create a portfolio built to weather any financial storm.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
