At 21, Theo had his whole life mapped out – until one tackle in the last 20 minutes of the season changed everything. His knee swelled up, his contract wasn't renewed, and suddenly he was out of professional football with zero backup plan. In this podcast episode, Theo shares exactly how he rebuilt from that rock-bottom moment, and eventually co-founded René House, a Nottingham-based social housing company that now turns over seven figures and employs 20 people. He gets real about what it's like to run a business with your partner, those sleepless nights when payroll is due and the bank account is looking thin, and why everyone wants the freedom of entrepreneurship but nobody talks about things like midnight phone calls from the police... What we cover: • How to start again when you have no backup plan • Why testing different jobs was the best form of business education • The truth about running a 7-figure social housing company • Building a business with your partner • His new coaching program that helps other athletes transition to business "Everything is hard. Social media sells you the dream that entrepreneurship fixes all problems, but it's just pros and cons to everything." So if you're facing a major career or life pivot at the moment, thinking about starting your own business, or just need to hear from someone who's been through the worst and came out the other side, this episode definitely delivers!

Eric talks with social media expert Dalton Fisher, whose company, Fisher Multimedia, helps businesses with their social media presence, discusses strategies for creating viral content, the evolving landscape of social media algorithms, and the benefits of an online presence for businesses, including brand recognition, lead generation, and employee morale. The conversation highlights the shift from follower-based metrics to content performance and the importance of authentic, engaging video in capturing audience attention, even if it means embracing "weird" or controversial approaches for increased visibility and engagement. Key Takeaways: Jump in and start creating content, accepting that your first five to ten videos will likely be bad, as this is how you learn and improve Prioritize strong visual hooks and keep the camera moving in the first three seconds of your videos to capture attention. To boost engagement, strategically include slightly incorrect or suggestive statements in your content to draw out comments. Focus your time on producing new videos instead of trying to respond to every comment, as making new content is a better use of limited time. Understand that followers are no longer the most important metric for content reach, and content primarily provides indirect value like brand building and social proof rather than direct monetization.

Guest: Tom Wardach Guest Bio: After serving for a few years as an officer in the US Army, I ventured into the business world, and that wasn't even my original plan! After almost 35 years in my current industry, I never thought that I would be in it for that long. And yet after more than 3 decades, here I still am. I have had the capacity to work for some great companies and wonderful teams in sales, personnel, customer service, product, and information management. Key Points: Background and Career Path · Tom attended a military college in South Carolina and served in the Army. Leadership and discipline learned there laid the groundwork for his career. · Transitioned to sales through a connection his wife had with Georgia-Pacific, where he began as an inside salesperson. · Emphasizes the importance of connections, not burning bridges, and seizing opportunities. Military Lessons Applied to Sales · Experience in leading teams in the military helped him lead sales teams. · Military discipline translates well to self-motivation and accountability in sales roles, especially in remote work settings. Egger Wood Products Role · Initially hired for a key account manager role, was later promoted to lead the U.S. sales team as part of a succession plan. · Tasked with building the U.S. sales team essentially from scratch. Building a Sales Team · Before hiring, he and the company identified what traits they were looking for in candidates. · Uses a collaborative approach to hiring, incorporating feedback from other team members and HR. · Emphasizes collaboration, input from colleagues, and a structured onboarding process. Hiring Philosophy · Candidates must have a proven sales background. · Prefers candidates with a short learning curve on the product side due to immediate business needs. · Ideal hires have both sales and some industry familiarity (e.g., OEM experience). · Doesn't hesitate to make quick decisions when it's clear a hire isn't a good fit, unlike companies that wait too long. · Acknowledges the emotional difficulty of letting people go, even when necessary. Sales Team Expectations · Key account managers are expected to both acquire new business and grow existing accounts. · Sales at Egger involve long sales cycles and complex conversions (e.g., product switching or manufacturing changes). · A key priority is expanding Egger's brand presence in the U.S. since its local manufacturing started in 2020.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Steven Pesavento is a real estate entrepreneur and managing partner of VonFinch Capital. Since 2016, he has completed over 220 real estate transactions, renovated nearly 100 properties, and personally transacted over $200 million in real estate. With a background in consulting and startups, Steven transitioned into multifamily investing to build long-term wealth, scale strategically, and help investors achieve financial freedom through high-performance investments. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Steven flipped over 200 houses before pivoting to multifamily for greater scalability and repeatability. The VonFinch model focuses on building trust at scale, creating long-term investor relationships across asset classes. Talent retention is core to their strategy, offering team members aligned incentives and upside in each project. The best multifamily buying opportunities are in the middle market ($5–$25M) where institutional competition is minimal. Successful investing starts with mindset—embracing both wins and losses as part of a long-term game. Topics From Flipping to Multifamily Built a high-volume flipping business but struggled with lack of repeat clients and team turnover. Realized multifamily investing offered better scale, cash flow, and lasting investor relationships. Transitioned to commercial deals where trust and strategic partnerships drive long-term success. Building a Wealth Machine Through Relationships VonFinch Capital focuses on relationship-based investing with aligned goals across team, operators, and investors. Employees are offered base salaries with profit-sharing incentives to encourage ownership and retention. Long-term success is about creating win-win environments that scale with aligned interests. Navigating the Current Multifamily Market Market dislocation has created buying opportunities 30–40% below peak prices in the non-institutional middle market. VonFinch targets $5–$15M deals overlooked by large institutions but too big for most small investors. Patience and persistence matter—some of their best deals took 6–12 months to close or required years of relationship-building. Why Now Is Still the Time to Buy Even with personal portfolio challenges, Steven remains bullish on buying during market dips. Dollar-cost averaging into real estate is critical—especially for those who bought at the top in 2021–22. The greatest returns are made in volatile periods when others are fearful. Investor Mindset and Long-Term Thinking Investing is a game—understand the rules, play strategically, and adapt to change. Fear of loss often outweighs potential gains, but playing scared leads to missed opportunities. Steven encourages investors to view losses as feedback and avoid overexposure in any one deal or asset.
