This was one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had on camera. We flew down to Florida to sit in Rod Khleif's studio for an in-person interview that turned into a masterclass on wealth, mindset, and freedom. Rod built a $50 million real estate portfolio, lost it all in the 2008 crash, and came back stronger than ever. On his Lifetime Cashflow Podcast, he turned the mic on us to unpack how we built our portfolio from a single house hack to more than eighty units, a boutique hotel, and multiple income streams—all while working full-time jobs. We talk about the moments that changed everything, the systems that scaled our portfolio, and the mindset shifts that helped us level up from employees to entrepreneurs. If you are building your own version of financial freedom and want to learn how to create wealth that outlasts the money, this conversation will light the fire.

Most entrepreneurs think hiring a Chief Financial Officer is only for big corporations, but that could not be further from the truth. Many small businesses are losing massive profits simply because they don't truly know their numbers. What if you could hire a part-time CFO to help you see what's really driving profit, cash flow, and scalability—without the full-time salary? In this episode, we sit down with Heather Parsons, a former Big Four accountant turned real estate investor and founder of a fractional CFO firm, to break down exactly what that means for founders and investors. Heather explains how most business owners rely on bookkeepers who look backward, while CFOs help you look forward—building dashboards, forecasts, and cash flow systems that lead to smarter decisions and consistent growth. You'll learn when to bring one in, how to know if you're ready, what it costs, and how this role can transform your business from reactive to proactive. If you're making money but still feel stuck in the weeds, guessing your numbers, or scaling without clarity, this conversation will show you how a fractional CFO can turn chaos into confidence and give you the financial control you've been missing.

Every time the government prints money the rich get richer, and now you can too. In this episode we sit down with Josh Mettle, who went from food stamps to a nine-figure real estate portfolio, to expose how the system really works. When the dollar loses value, assets rise, rents climb, and fixed debt becomes cheaper. That is how the wealthy win while everyone else falls behind. We break down why cheap mortgages are an asset, when to refinance or sell, and how to use real estate as an inflation hedge. Josh shares his personal strategy across real estate, gold, and Bitcoin and how he uses time and leverage to make compounding inevitable. We also reveal our own real numbers on a duplex deal to show how inflation is quietly building wealth for us in the background. If you are tired of working harder for your money than it does for you, this conversation will be a game changer. Tune in for the roadmap to get on the right side of the wealth gap.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten. We live in a culture obsessed with instant gratification, chasing quick cash flow, fast promotions, and overnight results. But the truth is, real wealth, real health, and real impact are built over decades, not days. In this episode, we break down why the top one percent win simply because they play a longer game. We talk about how compounding works across every area of life from money and health to relationships and reputation, and why the small things done consistently today become the defining edge years from now. If you've been sprinting but still feel stuck, this episode will help you zoom out, realign your timeline, and start playing the game that actually leads to freedom.

Most people think real estate means fixing toilets, chasing tenants, or giving up your weekends.But what if you could earn cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits… without ever becoming a landlord? In this episode, we sit down with Shawn Winslow of Greenbriar Capital to break down how busy professionals and high earners can build wealth passively by investing in large multifamily deals as Limited Partners.

Together we walk through two deals that we recently executed as a team detailing how we boosted rents using Section 8 in New Hampshire and how we're attracting high-paying travel nurses in Vermont. You'll hear our exact strategy behind forcing appreciation and protecting investor capital. If you have capital but no time, this is the blueprint. No tenants. No headaches.

The American Dream is disappearing before our eyes. Every day our purchasing power shrinks. Groceries that once filled a cart now barely cover a basket. Bills that once felt manageable now take a bigger bite out of your paycheck. Meanwhile, wealth flows to those who own assets while everyone else falls further behind. The numbers are staggering. The middle class is vanishing, leaving only two sides of the line: those who own assets and those who do not. The wealthy are not getting richer because they work harder. They are getting richer because they own scarce assets that rise in value while the dollar falls. The rest are left chasing a paycheck that buys less each year. In this episode we explain how money printing dilutes your savings, why inflation silently punishes those who sit on cash, and how you can get on the right side of the wealth gap before it's too late. All roads lead to real estate. The clock is ticking. The longer you wait, the harder it is to catch up. Let this episode be your wake-up call to start today.

Most people think they can't invest in real estate because their local market is too expensive. Mike Buska proves that excuse wrong. He works full-time in private security and lives a market where finding cash flow is nearly impossible. Instead of giving up, he looked out of state.

In this episode, Mike reveals how he turned long-distance investing into an advantage by creating systems and relying on the right local partners to operate his properties. He also explains how he tapped into a HELOC, using the equity in his primary home to fund multiple deals and accelerate his growth without draining his savings.
