My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1801"Energy flows where intention goes, not where to-do lists go, not where I need to be productive goes, but the energy goes from the intention." - Lewis HowesLewis discovered something that changed everything about how he approaches each day - and it wasn't another productivity hack or morning routine. Twelve and a half years ago, when he launched The School of Greatness podcast with zero broadcasting experience and no idea what he was doing, he had something more powerful than skills or equipment: a crystal-clear intention. Not a goal to hit certain download numbers or build a platform, but an intention to create the school he wished he'd had growing up - one that taught real-life lessons about money, relationships, emotions, and health that traditional education never covered. That intention, born from his own struggles and gaps in learning, became the foundation for everything that followed.This isn't about setting goals or grinding through to-do lists - it's about identifying what you've been lacking in your life and intentionally stepping into that energy. Feel disconnected? Set an intention to be connected. Missing joy? Choose to be playful. Lacking gratitude? Decide to live from appreciation, even when someone cuts you off in traffic. When you shift from reacting to your circumstances to living from intention, doors open in ways you never expected. People are drawn to your energy, opportunities appear, and you start manifesting from a place of authentic being rather than desperate doing.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
In today's episode, I'm bringing you a bold reminder that has the power to change your entire reality: ✨ You are the prize. If you've ever caught yourself shrinking, chasing, or hoping someone finally sees your worth… this episode is for you. I'm walking you through the exact mindset shifts that helped me stop seeking validation and start embodying the version of me who knows she's the energy that shifts reality. I also open up about a very real moment in my life—getting out of a toxic relationship and realizing how much I was dimming my light to be “chosen.” We're not doing that anymore, babe. It's time to choose yourself. If you're ready to stop begging for breadcrumbs and start magnetizing what you truly deserve, this one is going to light a fire under you.
In this episode, I'm talking about something way bigger than money, fame, or even success—purpose. I've seen it firsthand, in my own life and in people around me: you can have the car, the house, the business, even the dream lifestyle, and still feel empty if you don't have a clear purpose. I share why I believe purpose is the most important thing you can chase in life, how it changes everything about the way you wake up, the way you work, and the way you handle struggles. I also break down how to actually find your purpose—from looking at your pain and problems, to identifying your natural gifts, to discovering who you really want to help in this world. If you've ever felt that nagging feeling like something's missing—even when things look “good” from the outside—this episode is for you. I'll give you practical steps to start figuring it out, and share some real-life lessons I've learned along the way chasing my own purpose. Whether you're feeling stuck, successful but unfulfilled, or just looking for clarity, this conversation will help you rethink what you're really chasing and why.
Letting go isn't about giving up—it's about opening yourself to something better. In this live event session, I walk you through the real steps to release attachment and become magnetic to what you truly want. if you want my NEW Free course to show you how to Let go and become magnetic with breath work ceremony and meditation practice, click here: https://www.theshiftexperience.com/hv...

And in this episode, you'll learn how to rewire your instincts and create a new reality where peace and connection replace anxiety and uncertainty. -- ►► Plan big, stay focused, and see your year at a glance with the Big A## Calendar.

What if the secret to skyrocketing your sales had nothing to do with tactics and everything to do with trust? In this episode, Kevin Thompson sits down with Ari Galper, the world's number one authority on trust-based selling and founder of the Unlock The Game methodology. Ari shares a powerful, real-life story of betrayal during a sales meeting that transformed his approach and led to the creation of a heart-centered sales movement focused on trust, not pressure. For over 20 years, Ari has helped coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs eliminate rejection and stop chasing prospects by building trust from the very first conversation. Ari is the author of seven best-selling books and a recognized thought leader featured in CEO Magazine, Forbes, Inc., and Financial Advisor Magazine. He is also the CEO and founder of AriAI, a 24/7 trust-based selling growth partner that acts as a “third brain” in your business, embedding trust into every conversation and decision. In this episode, Ari also honors his son Toby, who has Down Syndrome, as the inspiration behind his heart-first philosophy that's reshaping how business is done. [00:00 - 02:30] The Origin Story: From Betrayal to Breakthrough • Ari recounts a sales call 20 years ago where, after accidentally hitting mute, he overheard prospects say, “Keep using him for more info, then buy cheaper.” • This moment exposed a fundamental dysfunction in selling and launched his mission to transform the sales process into one focused on truth and trust. [02:31 - 06:30] What Trust-Based Selling Means • Ari describes creating Unlock The Game, a trust-based selling approach that flipped traditional sales on its head. • Explains why ghosting happens, not because of the solution but because people don't trust your process. • Highlights that chasing prospects is a symptom of lacking trust. [06:31 - 12:00] Language That Builds Trust, Not Pressure • Why you should never use the word “follow-up.” • Replace it with, “Do you have any feedback on our last conversation?” • Shows how language either pressures people or invites the truth, changing the entire dynamic of the relationship. [12:01 - 18:30] Shifting from Pitching to Diagnosing • Ari unpacks his Doctor Framework, telling you to stop rapport-building chatter and start by exploring their problems deeply. • Offers questions like, “How long has this been a concern for you?” and “What have you done so far to address this?” • Emphasizes that trust is built when they feel truly understood, not when you start prescribing solutions. [18:31 - 24:30] Real Results: Why Trust Works • Ari shares examples from clients in high-ticket, long sales cycle industries who stopped chasing and started closing quickly. • Explains how leading with trust gets people to say, “How can you help me?” which flips the traditional sales script. [24:31 - 33:48] Honoring Influences and Lessons from Toby • Ari honors Dan Kennedy and Perry Marshall for shaping his understanding of marketing and systems. • Opens up about his son Toby, who has Down Syndrome, and how Toby taught him to be present, love without agenda, and lead with empathy. • “People don't want your pitch. They want to know if they can trust you.” Key Quotes “The goal is not the sale. The goal is the truth.” — Ari Galper “People don't ghost you because of your price. They ghost you because they don't trust you.” — Ari Galper “Stop delivering value before you're paid. Stop selling. Start listening.” — Ari Galper Connect with Ari Galper Free Book: www.thetrustbook.comWebsite: www.unlockthegame.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/arigalper Facebook: facebook.com/arigalper Thanks for tuning in!

It's go-time. The halls are getting decorated, the PD agendas are set, and you're knee-deep in first-day prep. But here's the hard truth: all that effort? It won't build alignment. And if you're not intentionally building alignment from Day 1, the best you can hope for is short-term compliance—and even that fades by fall. In this episode, I'll unpack: Why alignment feels impossible during the back-to-school scramble (and why it's not your fault) The hidden trap even good principals fall into this time of year 3 simple shifts that can turn your staff from compliant to committed—even before school starts If you've ever felt like you're working harder than ever and still not getting the traction you want, this episode will show you what to do instead #LikeABuilder.
Only 4% of Americans ride transit—but 84% of people in communities with transit say they value it.In this episode, Paul Comfort digs into the details with Mark Aesch (CEO, TransPro Consulting) and Alvin McBorrough (CEO, OGx Consulting). Together they unpack two big levers for agency performance: measuring what actually matters and using AI to deliver it more efficiently. Featuring: Mark Aesch – CEO, TransPro ConsultingWhy ridership is a misleading primary metric; shifting from volume to value; what the 84% really care about (jobs access, service for older adults/people with disabilities, low‑income mobility); and how current federal incentives (unlinked passenger trips, revenue miles) work against customer satisfaction. Mark also previews how FTA reform could move agencies from “happy buses” to “happy customers.” Alvin McBorrough – CEO, OGx ConsultingPractical AI use cases transit agencies can deploy now: real‑time passenger tools (ETAs, chatbots), predictive maintenance, route optimization, computer vision for safety, demand forecasting, and digital twins for planning. Turning “data rich, information poor” operations into smarter decisions—and doing more with less.

So Joe, welcome to the show. Joe Fairless (03:10.36) Looking forward to our conversation, Seth. Seth Bradley, Esq. (03:12.884) for sure man. So, you know, I like this question because it's kind of unusual and I have a hard time answering it and you might too, but we'll see. you know, when a stranger asks you what you do and it just comes up to you maybe at a conference or on the streets, what do you say? Joe Fairless (03:28.398) I'd I buy apartment buildings. Seth Bradley, Esq. (03:30.546) I love it. Keeping it simple, man. I guess that was an easier answer than I anticipated. Joe Fairless (03:35.182) Well, yeah, I've been to in my early days I went to seminars and they have much longer more thought-provoking responses like, know, I help high income earners create passive income or something along those lines, but I keep it simple. I buy apartment buildings and then, you know, let the conversation go where it naturally would go. Seth Bradley, Esq. (04:06.366) I love that man. Yeah, and you know, to be honest, know, that response that you just mentioned is a little bit played out. Don't you think? I feel like if you're on LinkedIn or if you're on, you know, conferences, everybody's like, yeah, I raised capital from passive investors so I can help them do this and do that. Do you think that's a little bit played out? Do you think that people need to kind of change that marketing strategy at this point? Joe Fairless (04:25.697) Well... I think you should just be authentic. think just go with what feels right for you and what you'll enjoy talking about. Just go with what feels right for you. That's what I do. I am not a salesy person. I feel uncomfortable if I'm trying to sell someone something. I believe in what I do, but I feel uncomfortable if I'm trying to force it. And so if I'm like, I was just at a dad-daughter dance this past Sunday and we met up with some couples that I didn't know any of them. was just couples that, you know, my daughter... goes to their parents of the kids who go to school with my daughter. And so I was talking to one of the dads and he said, what do you do? I I buy apartment buildings. And he said, that's interesting. Then we started talking about what I do because he was naturally interested. And I enjoy that much more than trying to intentionally bait a hook. I'd just rather just have a conversation. Seth Bradley, Esq. (05:40.03) Yeah. Seth Bradley, Esq. (05:43.57) Yeah, yeah, I think that's the key, right? Especially in today's world where everything's online and you just get marketed to and advertised to all the time. You've got to be authentic and you need to have an elevator pitch, it's got to be authentic. It's got to be really who you are. And it can't be sales because people are so sensitive to that nowadays, whether you're raising capital or whether you're W2 doing your job. And we're all salespeople to a certain extent, whatever we do. But people are very sensitive to that. So you've got to really focus on being authentic and coming from a place of genuineness. Joe Fairless (06:20.91) Nobody in the world can do you like you do you. You've got a unique strand of DNA that no one else can be the Seth Bradley that you are, the Joe Farrells that I am, because it's impossible. It's impossible. There is no one like you. There is no one like me. And it's just the more magnetic, the more genuine and true to who I am, the more magnetic I feel like I become because people enjoy authenticity and it's just the right way to play it, right way to do it. Seth Bradley, Esq. (07:01.684) Totally, totally, totally. For our audience, just tell us what you're doing nowadays. mean, there's been kind of some changes in the market with the interest rates going up, those sorts of things, maybe starting towards the end of 2022. I know for myself, I was in the capital raising game for a number of years and then I kind of slowed down there towards the end of 2022, beginning of 2023, just to kind of see what the market was gonna do, just to see if we could still get some really good deals going, see if some of the other deals were going bad. you know, what, what are you up to nowadays? Like what's your focus? right now. Joe Fairless (07:36.77) The focus has been and always will be on our current portfolio and the deals that we have and operating those deals the best that we can and continuing to improve the NOI. So that is the focus. There we have some deals that have floating rates with rate caps and the focus is to figure out how not to have floating rate with rate caps that you have to continue to renew once they expire. So that comes with refinancing and in order to refinance and sometimes you have to do a capital call or if you don't do a capital call you gotta bring in equity in some form or fashion to refinance. some cases, it just depends on the deal. So the focus is on the portfolio and always will be. And then the secondary thing that we look at is acquisitions. How do we capitalize on the market that we're at right now? mean, the best way to describe it that I've read is it's stagnant. You know, it's just... Not sure. The water, there's stuff growing in the water, but not sure if you really want to be part of what's growing in the water right now. Like it's just, it's stagnant and what will, but we also know what is coming. Seth Bradley, Esq. (09:00.486) Yeah. Joe Fairless (09:12.264) and that is the supply demand shift in multifamilies favor depends on the sub market and the market obviously. But generally the Sun Belt is going to greatly benefit in the next year, year and a half, in some cases six months from now. with the supply-demand dynamic with new supply drying up and increasing the demand for the existing supply. Again, depends on the market, depends on the sub-market. So how do we capitalize on that? is there any way to be opportunistic with what's happening with some deals from other operators that didn't work out. know, there haven't been a lot of foreclosures, but there have been some. And we have relationships with our lenders that are pretty strong. And in fact, one, a large lender that we have a really good relationship with, that we have properties with, they foreclosed on someone else's deal. And I won't name names on who they foreclosed on, but they foreclosed on someone else's deal and they came to us Afterward and said hey here here. Here's a here's an opportunity. It's in a great area of Fort Worth and I'm from Fort Worth so I know we have a lot of property there too, but I know the market also I grew up there and We'll give you this special financing of around 3 % or so interest rate fixed interest rate for year one and then it's fixed through the whole period of the loan but then the interest rate steps up to around four, four and a half percent over the five years. So to get that type of essentially seller financing but it's lender financing direct from the lender lending institution that foreclosed on the deal in a very good area of Fort Worth. Joe Fairless (11:29.326) There are opportunities out there also. So it's how do we become opportunistic and find these deals. And so we're in the process of closing on that deal or doing due diligence on that deal. We're under contract and we're scheduled to close in about a month and a half from now. Seth Bradley, Esq. (11:49.316) Awesome, awesome. Have you found it difficult at any point in time, kind of over these last couple years where the market has slowed down? Joe Fairless (11:56.654) Whatever you're gonna say, yes. So finish your question, but the answer is yes. Yes, I found it difficult over the last couple years, but what exactly are you asking about that's difficult? Seth Bradley, Esq. (11:59.732) Yeah. Sure. Specifically, should say sticking with multifamily because you are a multifamily guy and you you've seen you've seen where everyone, you know, everybody wanted that on that multifamily train for, you know, a decade, if not longer. Joe Fairless (12:15.598) Mmm. Man. Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:23.696) And now you've seen a lot of these same people change their tune and say, okay, well, you know what? Let's pivot to something else. Let's pivot to car washes or private credit funds or all these other things. Joe Fairless (12:29.998) Man, I'm actually, I know you're an attorney, but can I strike my yes actually from that question? Cause no, actually the answer is no. I haven't found it difficult to stick with multifamily. Hell no. No. You know, you go to a restaurant at a diner and they offer lasagna, California roll and what else? Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:41.16) Hahaha Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:49.107) Ha ha. Seth Bradley, Esq. (13:01.204) Ha Joe Fairless (13:01.356) Pad Thai, you know, are they gonna have the best lasagna, California roll, and pad thai? No, no. They've got something for everyone, but they're not gonna be great at any of it. I'd rather go to an Italian restaurant that makes their own noodles, right? Makes their own pasta. And where they specialize in one thing. Not at all. No, we I believe in the fundamentals of multifamily. I believe in the supply demand that is here. I mean we had a record number of supply across the board and multifamily and the occupancy maintained 90-91 percent depending on the market but it maintained in the 90s in a record number of supply and by the way at the same time you got the capital markets raising interest rates the way they did. And a lot of people have been able to hold serve. And the fundamentals of the supply demand and how much... how many renters there are out there and how that will continue is there. That's cold hard facts. There is demand, a lot of demand, and there will continue to be even more demand because the supply is trailing off. We have never looked. outside of multifamily because it's so strong. I think that is a cultural thing actually because if you, anyone who's in the sports, college sports, they'll know about the NIL and Joe Fairless (14:54.784) how you can bounce from one team to another year after year. And so you'll find some people who aren't starting and if they put in the work then, and I'm for NIL, I think players should be paid, but I don't think that they, I don't think they should, I don't think it serves them as young men and young women. mostly young men in this case who are bouncing from place to place, to not compete and not work for a starting position and instead just go somewhere else the path of least resistance. That's not how you build character. There's a really good book, it's called The Road to Character. and they talk about in the book, they give different examples of people throughout history. And they're not exceptional, like saintly people. They're people who are normal people, but what they did that is atypical for what our culture does now is they stuck with things even when it was tough. Seth Bradley, Esq. (16:09.682) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (16:09.998) and instead of bouncing from thing to thing because what happens is when you bounce from thing to thing you don't get an expertise you don't get the the depth of knowledge the scars that that you need in order to be truly exceptional at that one thing and it's just surface level And it'd be like if you feed your kids candy for every meal. I mean, it's same thing. You can't live on mental candy, right? You gotta have some substance. You gotta go through things. Seth Bradley, Esq. (16:43.06) Yeah, I love that man. I love that metaphor. I love that. Like you've got to get reps, whether the times are great or an easy or whether they're hard. And those hard reps are the ones that are really going to set you up for success down the line. Like if you're able to execute in the hard times, then when times turn good again, you're going to be at the top, right? You're going to be cream of the crop. What do you, what do you think it is about you and maybe your company that's enabled you to do that, to stick? to multifamily and not say, ooh, you know what, I'm a really good marketer so I can raise capital for anything if I really want to, right? You're in that position and what is it about you and your company that's been able to allow you to stick to multifamily and just stick to it during these hard times? Joe Fairless (17:32.762) the fundamentals are there. I mean, you could make an argument that if we were office investors, and I have some friends who are really keen on investing in office now and in the future, but you could very easily make an argument that with the amount of office space that people have currently, you don't need as much of that space. It's not a five, you know, three to five to seven year play. Maybe it's a 20 to 50 year play. I don't know. Who the hell knows what's going to happen with office and working from home and AI and automation and all that. But with multifamily, the challenge is capital markets. Now there are some other aspects like the hyper supply, which has tapered off. because of the higher interest rates increase in you know insurance which has tapered off back to the single digits by and large but that that was a big thing property taxes depending on where you're at but the fundamentals are there people are renting and consumers for yeah unfortunately for generally you know for the general consumer their credit card debt is going up. They're still paying off their credit card debt from purchases almost 12 months ago. More than half of people are paying off purchases for more than 12 months ago. that's so right now they've been out earning their income because income has been increasing. But what happens if that income stops increasing the way it has been? the debt's not going anywhere, especially credit card debt, and that's certainly not going to make more first-time home buyers that dynamic. So the fundamentals are there, and not to mention we already have a housing shortage deficit, major deficit. Seth Bradley, Esq. (19:50.866) Yeah, so it's the belief and it's the knowledge like it's the education like you you know that the fundamentals are there you you're you're basing your resilience in the market to What you're seeing in the data like hey, it's you know We we believe in this asset type because of the data that i'm Well educated and well versed in Joe Fairless (20:09.752) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (20:14.346) Absolutely. Seth Bradley, Esq. (20:16.168) That's incredible. That's incredible. Has anything changed in the way that you potentially because you've got a deal that might be going through in the way that you either have raised capital recently or how you are going to raise capital for your next deal as compared to when it might have been a little bit easier, let's say five years ago from passive investors? Joe Fairless (20:38.612) Yes, we have implemented a system that I'm sure a lot of your listeners have heard of EOS, Entrepreneur Operating System, and that has been very helpful. We just did our focus day a month ago, but we've hit the ground running and we have our, I think, Vision Day part one later this month and Vision Day two. next month and that has allowed ownership among the team members to really thrive because team members are responsible for rocks or their goals but if you say goals instead of rock they'll the EOS person will slap your hand so I'll continue to say rock so they're responsible for rocks and it's just It takes more, the individuals on the team have more ownership. So that's not something sexy or flashy that I think your question was getting to. So I'll say something else that has been helpful would be doing Facebook ads for getting new accredited investor leads. at scale. That's the best way that we found to get credit investor leads at scale is through Facebook ads. And we have an agency that we work with. And I just hired a director of marketing who has some really good experience and he's overseeing them and the marketing team. And then Another thing that has been helpful that where I'd say just scratching the surface I'm a big proponent of AI and how I believe We are in the middle of a major change for our society with because of AI I think it is just as major of a change as it as it as when we all got internet in our homes Joe Fairless (22:51.602) on a personal computer. I think it's that big to have access to, just think about phone books to Googling something on your computer. So with AI we've incorporated it and are incorporating as much as possible in one aspect to address your question about how we're doing things differently. One aspect. is that on our investor calls, our prospective investor calls, we record them. They know it's being recorded and on a recorded line. We have an AI service that then takes the information from the call and grades the call. But then not only that is we look at, those investors, which ones of those investors invest? What did we say? What did they say on those calls? What are some common commonalities? Which ones didn't invest? What did they say? What did we say? And starting to identify trends and words and topics to talk about and to address on the calls to increase the conversion rate. Seth Bradley, Esq. (24:07.048) That's great, man. I love it. You kind of went full circle there. You've got EOS, which I'm a huge proponent of. We use that across the various companies that I have, some form or another. There's got to be a framework of organization and accountability and being able to look back and say, hey, we've had this problem before and here's how we solved it before. Or hey, this problem is still occurring from last week's L10 meeting. What do we need to do to improve it? How do we solve that issue? Joe Fairless (24:33.166) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (24:36.712) How do we keep moving forward rather than, what did we talk about last week or what did we talk about last month? You've got to have a way to organize things and a way to solve issues organizationally, especially as you grow. So EOS, huge proponent of it, man. I mean, it's awesome. Like you have to have some form of it, even if it's not to a T with the book, Traction is where that comes from. You have to implement some form of organization and framework for your company. And then like you said, Joe Fairless (24:41.389) Yeah. Joe Fairless (24:56.575) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:03.284) you know, with AI, everyone has to stay on the forefront of what's going on right now. I know I was even a little resistant myself. was like, chat GPT, is that? Eh, you know, and put it off for a little bit. And then once you start using that, along with all the other things as well, I'm just using that as kind of a baseline, but just learning how to use chat GPT in your everyday life, it's just a game changer. Because now your whole thought process changes. It's not like, Joe Fairless (25:08.547) Yep. Joe Fairless (25:20.14) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:31.22) I need to put together this entire article or blog post. It's like, how do I prompt it correctly to to produce this blog post or this article in my voice and then edit it through that or, you know, all these different things you figure out, like how to prompt rather than how to actually take this solution all the way from start to finish. Let that technology tell you how to do it. So it's awesome. And then Facebook ads as well. Joe Fairless (25:45.206) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:58.964) you've got to really dial those things in, right? It can be a money pit, but at the same time, if you can master that, and it sounds like you hired an agency that's very industry specific, which helps out a lot. And from what I've seen, we have gems, we have a capital raising business, we have all these different things, and finding somebody that's niche to that industry is super important. Joe Fairless (26:22.434) That's right. Seth Bradley, Esq. (26:25.756) I'd love to go back and stay on this capital raising subject, especially for people that just started out. So like now you're doing EOS, now you're using AI, now you're using Facebook ads, do you have some capital to be able to invest in those ads? What about for somebody that's just kind of starting out? they're, you know, maybe this is their first fund to fund or, you know, their first property that they're raising capital for. Like how do they effectively launch their first Capital Race. Joe Fairless (26:56.59) Well, I would read the book that I wrote on syndication because I walked through the whole process of that best ever syndication book. So, but for this this relatively short conversation, I'd say first, Seth Bradley, Esq. (27:04.404) Great book. Joe Fairless (27:19.606) People have to make sure you have to make sure that people perceive you and you are actually a real estate expert and That because you might have you might have been if this your first one first deal then I'm assuming you came from some other industry or If it was real estate, maybe you're a property manager, they don't know about all aspects of your expertise as it relates to real estate. you've got to, by having a thought leadership platform, you'll interview others who have that experience, you'll continue to learn, hone your skills, and then you'll also be associated with those who have those skill sets, and that will be helpful for you. Once you do that, assuming that you are the expert and you are also perceived as the expert, then what I would do, and what I did actually on my very first one is I created a spreadsheet. And the spreadsheet had the name of the person, how I knew them, and then, What I did is I wrote down all the different names and then how I knew them. So for example, I was on the alumni advisory board for Texas Tech. I was on a flag football team in New York. I wrote someone's name down there. On my flag football team, was working at different companies. I worked at different companies, so I wrote down different coworkers at different companies. the key here for doing it this way is identifying the person. So then you sort them by how you know them. all the people from the flag football team would be sorted together. All the people from XYZ company would be sorted together. And then you identify the most influential person within that group. And you talk to him or her. Joe Fairless (29:39.306) about your opportunity. And once you talk to him or her about the opportunity, and if they find it appealing or at least they want to learn more about it, then you can go to the next person in that group and you can name check. You can say, I was just talking to Seth about this and he's got some follow-up questions about it and I thought it also would make sense to talk to you about it too. So then you come in a little warm with the group dynamic versus if you come in cold on an individual level. Seth Bradley, Esq. (30:11.924) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (30:18.822) I like that man. That's a very, very nuanced strategy tidbit there. What I really heard was, you know, authenticity and authority, authenticity in that. Yeah, you've got to educate yourself. You've got to be a real estate expert if that's what you're raising capital for and authority. And then you've got to show people, you know, why you're the expert, why you know all these things, why they should listen to you to invest in something like this and even leveraging the authority of others with that. that strategy where you go to this influential person and say, look, this person likes this deal too, and here's why. And then they can go to them and they kind of look to them as additional authority because they kind of look to them as that thought leader or that leader in general. So pretty great, man. Start wrapping this up, but this is kind of a nuanced question that I love to ask and ... Because once upon a time I went to I went to med school for a little while and then I dropped out and because I just I hated it knew it wasn't for me and I'm going to law school and then got into real estate. So you know in a parallel universe tell me about a different version of you a different but likely version of you if you didn't exist as you do today because right now you know you're you're an apartment buyer you're a great marketer you're an entrepreneur. Joe Fairless (31:38.164) I'd say I really enjoy coaching my daughter in soccer. I do not know soccer. I grew up in Texas. I played football. I played baseball. I ran track in that order. There wasn't a soccer option or maybe even a soccer ball in Texas when I was growing up. But I enjoy coaching and in an alternative universe, I would I would do more of that because time is, it flies whenever I'm doing that. Seth Bradley, Esq. (32:15.036) Awesome, awesome. All right, Joe, for our listeners out there, what can they find out more about you? Joe Fairless (32:21.494) You can go to AshcroftCapital.com and if you're looking at passive investing or if you're an operator or someone who is partnering with others, then my conference is a good place to be. It's besteverconference.com. It's gonna be March 3rd and 4th in Salt Lake City this year. I can get a discount code to your people too. Seth Bradley, Esq. (32:52.51) Great, yeah, I'll drop that in the show notes and I'll see you there, Joe. So we'll shake hands in person. So thanks again for coming on the show. Really appreciate it and we'll catch you next time. Joe Fairless (32:57.304) Sweet. Awesome. Joe Fairless (33:05.518) You know what, in just a second, I'm gonna just tell you the code, that way you don't have to do any work. Whenever I do a podcast and someone says, I'll send it to you, I'm like, more work for me to do later. So, all right, here's a code. Hurry 25, it'll be 25 % off all ticket types. H-U-R-R-Y, all lowercase, and then number 25, you get 25 % off all tickets, except for the LP ticket. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:09.917) Okay. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:13.808) Yeah, I know then you gotta follow up. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:35.924) Let's roll right into these million dollar questions and then I'll let you go. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:44.884) Alright Joe, let's jump into this. So, how did you make your first million dollars? Joe Fairless (33:52.185) Same way I made my last one so spoiler alert. It's it's selling when a deal exited so The is probably The seventh or eighth Deal I had one million dollars on one transaction, right? Like is that chunk about? Yeah, I Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:55.56) Hahaha Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:12.767) Really million dollars in your net worth Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:17.96) What puts you over the edge there? How did you grow that first million? Joe Fairless (34:21.626) I lost my first million before I ever came across it. That was on the very first deal. It would just be, it'd probably be through an exit of a deal. Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:26.056) Ha Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:35.614) Sure, yeah, and I'll bet it's probably similar. mean, how are you gonna, how are you planning on making your next million dollars? Same thing, the apartments, all about apartments, man. I love it, singular focus, that's where it's at. mean, riches are in the niches. Joe Fairless (34:41.144) Same thing. Yep. The apartments. All apartments. That's right. Yep. Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:52.564) All right, you're clearly in the top 1 % of what you do. What is it about you that separates you from the rest of the field? Joe Fairless (34:58.958) Mmm. I do what I say I'm gonna do. And sadly, that separates me from a lot of people, not all people. but that's a big focus of mine. And it's not about my, I recently read something that resonated and that was don't focus on your reputation, focus on your character. Reputation is such a vanity metric, but the character is who you are when no one's looking and being proud of who you are. And that's vital to me. Seth Bradley, Esq. (35:37.524) Yeah, and it's not just saying what you're going to do to other people, but also with yourself, right? To yourself. Joe Fairless (35:43.726) Mmm good point. Yeah when you're when when I'm on those runs and I can just stop Whenever I want But then I'll be I'll know I'll know I didn't go through this, you know, you know made up finish line that I had predetermined in my head and And that's that's there's there's something to be said there. I'm glad you brought that up Seth Bradley, Esq. (36:10.644) Yeah, that's that's the key right? It's not just when somebody when it's dependent on somebody else or somebody else is watching It's you know, what do you do when nobody's watching and what do you do when it's just a promise to yourself? Do you follow through do you keep those promises things as easy as hey when you set your alarm in the morning and you wake up Do you do you get up or do you hit the snooze button? Like you made a promise to yourself the night before to wake up and get up when that alarm goes off Do you keep that promise? Joe Fairless (36:15.415) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (36:25.229) Yeah. Seth Bradley, Esq. (36:39.12) Awesome. All right, brother. I think that should do it. I will see you. I'll see you at BC, man. Joe Fairless (36:46.42) Awesome. I appreciate it. yeah, if anything you can do to help get to get the word out about the conference to your email list, I'd appreciate that also. All right. Thanks, Seth. All right. Bye. Seth Bradley, Esq. (36:57.404) Absolutely. All right, brother. Talk soon. See you.

When we first date someone, we can't keep our hands off them. All we want to do is take them home and spend all night in bed together. But what about when the infatuation stage is over? Can you still keep up the chase even though you're both in a stable and comfortable relationship? In this week's episode of Love Life, I explain the psychology behind why so many couples get lazy and lose attraction over time, and show how you can avoid that by taking on a few key behaviors to boost the DESIRE in your relationship so that you and your partner always feel irresistibly attracted to each another. -- ►► Discover What the Most Confident Version of You Can Really Do.

Stop Chasing Likes. Start Following Christ - Scripture Reflection for July 11, 2025 by Priests for Life
This week on The Lo Life, I sit down with anesthesiologist, author, and Real Housewives of Dallas star Dr. Tiffany Moon—a woman who wears a dozen hats without burning out. How does she do it? We've got the answers. It all comes from a prescription for joy… and she's written the book on it—literally. In this honest and inspiring conversation, Tiffany opens up about her childhood, growing up as a Chinese immigrant, and navigating the pressure of perfection. From family conflict, to being bullied to comparison traps, she shares how she found her way back to what really matters: connection, authenticity, and joy that isn't tied to performance or perfection. We also talk motherhood (hello, twin life), money dynamics in her marriage, and how she and her husband have found a healthy balance that works. Plus, Tiffany gets candid about her time on The Real Housewives—from her biggest regret to the friendships that fizzled and what she'd do differently if she could. If you're tired of chasing the highlight reel, constantly comparing yourself, or just need a reminder of what truly sparks joy—this episode is your reset button!

All the neurochemicals in the brain have to do with life in the present. Except for one: dopamine. Dopamine is the one neurochemical that looks to the future. It anticipates what may be to come and drives you towards it.That can be a good thing — dopamine is one powerful motivator — but it also has its downsides. Here to help us understand how the most important chemical in the brain works and how to deal with its pitfalls is Michael Long. Michael is a trained physicist turned writer whose latest book is Taming the Molecule of More. Mike and I discuss how dopamine, for better and worse, makes you want what you don't have. He shares what causes low dopamine activity, how to know if you're experiencing it, and what increases dopamine. We then talk about how to deal with the consequences of dopamine in some of the scenarios in which it plays a role — like losing the spark in a relationship and getting stuck in a smartphone scroll habit — and why so much of taming dopamine comes down to living in the here and now. We end our conversation with why The Great Gatsby is really a novel about dopamine and the fundamental answer to not letting the dopamine chase lead you around.Resources Related to the PodcastMike's previous appearance on the AoM podcastAoM Article: How to Do a Dopamine ResetAoM Podcast #745: Do You Need to Take a Dopamine Fast?AoM Article: Your Life Explained Through DopamineConnect With Michael Long Taming the Molecule website

We arrange our lives around this pursuit, only to find out—sometimes painfully—they're not real. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Ambition. We celebrate it, chase it, and reward it. But for many of us, ambition has become a double-edged sword—fueling overwork, perfectionism, and self-neglect.

Executive coach Amina AlTai has worked with everyone from Olympians to entrepreneurs, and in her new book The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living, she argues that we don't need to give up ambition; we just need to reclaim it on our own terms.

What if the very thing you think is helping you heal is actually keeping you stuck?In this episode, we're diving deep into why the "root cause" paradigm has gone too far - and how it's creating the very stress response you're trying to heal from.I'm sharing the difference between two energies: the Ouroboros (chasing your tail, consuming your own healing energy) and Magnetism (aligning with your body's natural intelligence).You'll discover: • Why hunting for THE root cause keeps you in fight-or-flight • How to shift from chasing solutions to creating conditions for healing • The interference problem that's drowning out your body's signals • Why co-regulation with people and environment matters so much • The difference between correction and integration models • How the built environment disrupts your body's natural magnetismThis isn't about adding more protocols to your life. It's about trusting your body's wisdom over the noise around you.If you're tired of being the Ouroboros and ready to reclaim your body's natural blueprint for health, this episode is for you.
