I walk through a complete 30-step playbook for building a modern SaaS company using AI agents, media, and sub-niche positioning. The core argument is that SaaS is evolving rather than dying, and the builders who win are the ones who combine a focused workflow product with a media flywheel and agent-powered execution. Drawing on my experience advising TikTok, Reddit, and building three venture-backed companies, I lay out a step-by-step framework any solo builder or small team can follow from niche selection through to becoming the default execution layer in their market. I'm hosting a free workshop so you can build your business in the age of AI.

The future of SaaS starts as a service business: manually performing the workflow is how I learn what to automate. Media is a core business function, not an afterthought — content creation runs in parallel with product development from day one. Mechanical tasks are AI's strongest suit; separating judgment tasks from mechanical tasks is the key architectural decision. Per-task and outcome-based pricing is replacing per-seat models, and indie builders have a structural advantage in making that shift. Orchestration — coordinating agents, validating outputs, and resolving issues — is the new interface layer and the highest-value position to own.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Clare Baukham of Clear Art Reserve to explore what art investing looks like and how it can fit into a diversified wealth-building strategy. Clare shares her journey from financial advisor to art syndicator, creating opportunities for investors to participate in high-value artwork through a structured, shared-ownership model. She explains how studying what billionaires do to build and preserve wealth shaped her investment philosophy, leading her to focus on alternative assets and long-term strategy. A key framework she discusses is her “3 P's” approach — Predict, Plan, and Persevere — anticipating trends, creating a clear roadmap, and staying disciplined through market cycles. Clare also shares how the value of the arts appreciates and how investors can share in profits when a piece is sold. At the same time, she emphasizes that art investing requires proper research and understanding before jumping in. This episode offers a clear look at art as an alternative asset and practical insight into building wealth through strategic, informed investing.

Kyle and Patty go deep on performance-enhancing drugs, bodybuilding prep mistakes, and how Patty eventually won his class after taking diet and training seriously—followed by a major spiritual turning point. Patty describes a series of experiences that led him to identify God's guidance, including a night of intrusive “devil” thoughts stopped by invoking Jesus, a timely conversation with a spiritually-minded gym acquaintance, and a vivid dream urging repentance and change. Shortly after, a chain of events at the gym led him to a trader who taught him a day trading strategy, resulting in Patty making $290,000 the next month and shifting his identity from bodybuilding to trading. They also discuss staying on TRT, fertility concerns, quality-of-life improvements off heavier cycles, and broader themes like money as a “pissing contest” versus meaning, building a family compound for his parents, raising children with an abundance mindset and homeschooling, and Kyle's perspectives on plant medicine, integration, and safer paths like the upcoming darkness retreat in June with Dr. Nathan Riley and led by Edmond Knighton.

Most entrepreneurs are wired for wealth creation—growth, momentum, and reinvesting back into the business. But eventually, the game changes. In this episode, we break down the critical transition from building wealth to protecting wealth—what we call wealth durability. We cover the mindset shift required to move from active income to passive income, why concentration risk can quietly derail years of progress, and how succession planning should start earlier than most business owners think. We also share case studies of clients who successfully navigated major transitions by simplifying complexity, clarifying goals, and building the right support team.

What does it really mean to thrive, especially when success still doesn't feel satisfying? Kamin Samuel, PhD, brings a grounded, deeply human perspective to thriving—one rooted in self-leadership, self-trust, and releasing the quiet belief that you're “not enough.” You'll hear why so many capable leaders, particularly women, undervalue their experience and resilience, and how that habit quietly drains confidence, ambition, and joy. You'll also learn how language reveals hidden beliefs, how regulating your nervous system helps unfamiliar situations feel safer, and why small, intentional steps create lasting momentum. This episode invites you to redefine thriving—not as striving or proving—but as living from wholeness, creativity, and the freedom to pursue what truly fulfills you. Kamin is a trailblazing entrepreneur, international rapid transformational coach, and inspirational filmmaker. Her mission is to uplift, inspire, and empower people everywhere, proving that it's never too late to thrive. As the US Navy's first African American woman to serve as a helicopter pilot, Kamin served her country for nine years before transitioning into corporate America, where she rose to become the Vice President of Global Website Operations at a billion-dollar corporation. Kamin is the co-author with Steve Chandler of the book, Wealth Creation for Coaches, which is an excellent read for anyone who wants to grow their business. She's also the creator of the documentary film, Courage to Thrive. It tells a universal story of underserved and underestimated women and veterans.

In this solo episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd dives into the topic of laziness and how it can become a major setback to success in both business and life. He challenges listeners to think about how much time they may be wasting on small, unimportant tasks that pull them away from the bigger opportunities they could be achieving. Todd encourages people to be more intentional with their time and reminds them that the more productive you are during the day, the happier you'll be, the more impact you'll have, and the more influence you can have on others. By eliminating distractions and focusing on meaningful work, listeners can build momentum, increase their effectiveness, and create greater results in every area of their lives.

Jonathan Greene is joined by August Biniaz, co-founder and CIO of CPI Capital, to explore how early exposure to real estate shaped August's investing philosophy and led him from single-family investing into large-scale multifamily and build-to-rent strategies. August shares how his family's experience with real estate as a hedge against inflation influenced his long-term view on housing and capital preservation. The conversation dives into the realities of syndication, from learning the GP/LP structure through trial and error to building investor trust, infrastructure, and discipline over time. August explains why CPI focuses on U.S. markets like Tampa and San Antonio, how oversupply cycles create both risk and opportunity, and why patience and underwriting discipline matter more than deal volume. Jonathan and August also discuss the value of passive investing, especially for professionals who want real estate exposure without taking on a second job. August outlines how investors can think clearly about asset classes, sponsors, and alignment before committing capital, emphasizing that trust and communication are just as important as returns.

In this solo episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd looks ahead to what real estate investing may look like in 2026 and what investors should be paying attention to as the new year unfolds. He discusses expectations around interest rates potentially trending down and cap rates beginning to compress, noting that deals will only truly move forward if interest rates, pricing, or a combination of both adjust. Todd breaks down rent trends across the U.S., explaining that most markets may continue to see negative or minimal rent growth early in the year, with modest improvement possibly appearing in Q2 and Q3 before leveling off. He also touches on inflation staying near 3%, uncertainty in multifamily pricing due to a murky economic outlook, and flat conditions in single-family housing driven by affordability challenges. The episode also covers commercial sectors, concerns around government data transparency, and why assisted living and memory care may continue to lead returns for those who understand how to operate them effectively.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd and Bryan discuss the importance of taking action and turning ideas into momentum. They talk about why entrepreneurs should start before they feel fully ready and how execution often matters more than planning. The conversation highlights how to market your business in a way that separates you from the competition, focusing on clear messaging and unique positioning. A key theme is identifying and solving the customer's real pain point—Bryan explains that growth comes from understanding what people actually need, not what you assume they want. They also explore why business owners should simplify their operations by narrowing their focus to one core area and mastering it. By concentrating on the single thing that drives the most value, entrepreneurs can avoid overwhelm, gain traction faster, and build a stronger, more scalable business.

In this episode, I'm joined by Oto Gomes, crypto investor, mentor, and founder of the Crypto Freedom Academy, for a conversation that goes far beyond charts, markets, and digital assets. Oto brings over a decade of crypto experience and another decade as an accountant, but what truly sets him apart is his heart-centered approach to wealth, sovereignty, and freedom.Together, we unpack why so many people feel disempowered around money, how our beliefs shape our financial reality, and why the future of prosperity depends less on chasing quick wins and more on understanding who we are at our core. Oto shares practical and grounded wisdom on navigating crypto safely, building true abundance, and creating a resilient inner foundation that can weather both bull and bear markets—externally and internally.We also explore the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of money. Oto breaks down how self-worth ties directly into financial behavior, why sovereignty is a non-negotiable in the new paradigm, and how interdependent communities can help us rewrite our relationship with wealth. His mission is clear: to empower people to reclaim their agency, operate from integrity, and create a prosperous life rooted in accountability and connection.If you're curious about crypto, seeking a more holistic approach to money, or wanting to align your financial path with personal freedom and purpose, this conversation offers grounded insights and expansive perspective.

A few weeks ago our 14-year-old daughter ordered a $30 item online with her own hard-earned cash. She was proud of herself—until a notice popped up: the product was coming from overseas and a tariff of roughly $30 would be due at delivery. She looked at me, stunned. “Wait… I have to pay double to get it?” She paused, thought, and said, “I still want it.” https://www.youtube.com/live/gV_EvvpiXww That tiny moment shows a big reality: taxes aren't just something you deal with in April. They show up everywhere, often without warning, and every one of them is a leak in your wealth bucket. It's also a simple picture of why taxes and wealth creation are tied together in ways most families never see. The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth CreationTaxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leakThe compounding cost of taxesTaxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes“Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?”Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparationTaxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance taxThe 10-year inherited IRA ruleTaxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy moveTaxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep workingReal estate incentivesCharitable givingWhole life insurance for tax-efficient legacyTaxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetimeHere's the point: taxes and wealth creation rise and fall together.Book A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the connection between taxes and wealth creation?Why do taxes feel invisible to most families?What did the SECURE Act change for inherited retirement accounts?Are Roth conversions a good strategy for generational wealth?How does real estate help with tax-efficient wealth building?Why is tax planning different from tax preparation?How does whole life insurance fit into tax-efficient legacy planning? The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth Creation This topic matters because taxes quietly take more from most families than any other expense. Not your mortgage. Not your lifestyle. Taxes. In this article we're going to pull taxes out of the “yearly chore” box and put them where they belong—in the center of your wealth plan. You'll see why taxes are such a drag on compounding, how the tax code rewards certain behaviors, what the SECURE Act changed for retirement accounts and heirs, and why Roth conversions and other strategies can protect wealth for your lifetime and beyond. The goal is simple: help you keep more dollars in your control so they can grow and bless your family for generations. Taxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leak Most people think about taxes as a single event: file your return, see if you owe or get a refund, and move on. But Bruce made a point that changes everything: we pay taxes on almost every transaction. Federal and state income taxes are just the obvious ones. Add sales tax, gasoline taxes, property taxes, and the taxes baked into your phone and internet bill—and the true cost is enormous. Even when you don't see it, you pay it. And the dollars you lose to taxes don't just disappear today. You lose what those dollars could have become after decades of compounding. Once money leaves your control, the future of that money is gone forever. The compounding cost of taxes I love pictures, so here's one we used. Imagine your money as water in a five-gallon bucket. If there are leaks in the bottom, you don't arrive anywhere with a full bucket. Taxes are one of the biggest leaks. You can earn more and work harder, but if you don't seal the leaks, your progress is always slower than it should be. Think about the penny-doubling example. A penny doubled daily for 30 days becomes millions, but for the first week it still feels tiny. That's why people underestimate compounding. Taxes interrupt that curve. They pull dollars out before they ever reach the steep part of growth. Wealth isn't only about what you earn. It's about what you keep and control long enough for compounding to do its job. That's why taxes and wealth creation are inseparable. Taxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes Bruce shared something that shaped his whole view. A former IRS auditor once told him: only about 5% of the tax code explains how you pay taxes. The other 95% explains how you don't have to pay taxes. That surprised me at first, but it's true. Congress uses the tax code to steer behavior. If they want more housing, they reward people who provide housing. If they want investment in certain industries, they create incentives there. The incentives exist on purpose. If lawmakers didn't want people to use them, they wouldn't be written into law. “Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?” Tax strategist Tom Wheelwright says the wrong question is, “Is this deductible?” The right question is, “How do I make this deductible?” Example: if you travel to evaluate real estate deals and your primary purpose is legitimate business, documented properly, the tax code may allow deductions. The key isn't being clever. The key is following the rules clearly. We never recommend gray areas. Good tax strategies are black-and-white and well documented. Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparation The tax code is thousands of pages long and changes constantly. Many CPAs are overloaded with compliance work—paperwork, deadlines, filing logistics. So a lot of families get tax preparation, not tax planning. Preparation reports what happened and tells you what you owe. Planning helps you shape what you owe before the year ends. If you want to build wealth, you can't treat planning like an afterthought. You may need a professional whose mindset is: “My job is to help your family pay the least amount of tax legally possible.” Not because taxes are bad, but because every dollar saved is a dollar that can compound, be invested, or be given with purpose. Taxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance tax If you have tax-deferred retirement accounts—401(k)s, IRAs, 403(b)s, SEP IRAs, deferred annuities—you need to understand what changed. Older rules required minimum distributions (RMDs) at age 70½. The SECURE Act pushed that age to 75. That sounds like a gift, but it has a catch: more years of growth means a larger account, which often leads to larger taxable withdrawals later. But the bigger change hits your heirs. The 10-year inherited IRA rule If a tax-deferred account passes to a spouse, they can keep deferring. If it passes to your kids or grandkids, most beneficiaries must empty the account within 10 years. Picture a 45-year-old inheriting a $1 million IRA. Under old stretch rules, they could take small withdrawals over a lifetime. Now many will take around 10% per year—about $100,000 annually—stacked on top of their working income, often in their highest-earning years. That pushes those inherited dollars into their top tax bracket. So the SECURE Act didn't remove taxes. It concentrated them. If you do nothing, your children may pay far more tax on your retirement savings than you ever expected. Taxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy move This is where Roth conversions come in. We're not giving advice here—your personal facts matter—but the principle is powerful. A Roth conversion means paying tax on some tax-deferred dollars now so they move into a Roth account. Later withdrawals are tax-free. When the Roth passes to heirs, they still follow the 10-year rule, but distributions are generally income-tax-free. When we run numbers with families, we often find that paying some tax earlier can reduce the total tax bite over two lifetimes—yours and your kids'. For families who care about legacy, that's a big deal. Taxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep working Bruce listed several straightforward ways families can keep more dollars compounding without needing complex structures. Real estate incentives Real estate is a clear example of Congress rewarding behavior. The U.S. needs more housing, so the tax code offers depreciation and, in some cases, bonus depreciation for certain investments. Those deductions can offset taxable income and free up cash flow for more investment. The rules are specific, so strategy and documentation matter. Charitable giving If generosity is already part of your family culture, don't ignore how charitable strategies can lower taxes while letting you support what matters most. Whole life insurance for tax-efficient legacy This is a place where our work often connects the dots. Properly designed whole life insurance has a unique tax profile: cash value grows tax-deferred, you can access it through policy loans without triggering income tax, and the death benefit passes to heirs income-tax-free. We like to say that every tax dollar you save is another dollar you can reposition into assets that serve generations. Whole life often becomes a family gold reserve—liquid in your lifetime, leveraged at death, and protected from future tax surprises. Taxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetime During the episode I shared a golf analogy. Your wealth plan is like a golf swing. Most people only focus on the backswing—everything that happens until you hit the ball. In life, that's “my lifetime.” But legacy is the follow-through. Where does the ball go after contact? What trajectory does your wealth take after you're gone? When you plan only for your life, you miss the biggest multiplier in tax planning: time across generations. When you plan with follow-through, you make different choices today—like paying some taxes sooner—because you see how that can protect your children from a heavier burden later.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the realities behind the trending 50-year mortgage, strategies for raising client prices, and the powerful concept of creating lasting value rather than selling on features alone. They discuss generational financial policy, entrepreneurship advice for young business owners, and how the mindset around risk, investing, and habits shapes long-term success for coaches and their clients. Key Topics Covered The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages Karl Bryan breaks down why 50-year mortgages may be psychologically appealing but are often a disaster for long-term wealth. He reveals how fiscal policies typically benefit older asset holders, not young families, and explains actionable strategies for managing mortgage debt wisely (hint: double principal payments to cut interest costs). Debt, Fiscal Policy, and Asset Ownership A candid discussion about government incentives, student loans, movement, and the marketing of debt programs. The hosts explain how national debts, stock market, and real estate policy affect everyday entrepreneurs. Dave Ramsey's Approach vs. Entrepreneurial Investing Karl Bryan shares why Dave Ramsey's advice, though solid for most, isn't tailored to business owners and can actually hinder entrepreneurial growth. Coaches need to help clients recognize where profit really comes from—often through strategic hiring rather than traditional assets. Advice for Young Entrepreneurs For a 21-year-old approaching seven figures in business, Karl shares direct "notes to his younger self": Prioritize learning and history over hype Avoid gambling culture Understand the dangers of chasing status Find mentors closest to your goals Success follows through other people—cultivate loyalty Real success takes five years—play the long game How to Raise Client Prices and Increase Profitability Karl reveals a "scaling" pricing model to onboard high-ticket clients incrementally and why innovation and value creation are the keys to charging more. He provides a three-prong value breakdown—practical, inherent, and social—and explains how to move clients from being compared "apples to apples" to "apples to oranges" in their market. Group Coaching and Retention Leverage Retaining clients and boosting perceived value through live events and group coaching is explored. Karl draws direct connections between authority, events, and pricing power. Moment of Zen Inspiration from sports, family holidays, and leadership culture. Karl shares the magic of "Mickey Points" for family bonding and how elite athletes prime themselves for risk and resilience. The lesson: unlearning old habits is often the hardest—and most valuable—growth. Notable Quotes "Owning a home is as much psychological as it is an investment—it's security for your family." — Karl Bryan "Motivation is great, but a successful life is about avoiding stupid—capitalize, underline, and italicize 'stupid'!" — Karl Bryan "Raising prices is more complicated than just slapping on 10%—innovation and adding value are the keys to creating profitable clients." — Karl Bryan "Don't ask people close to you, ask people closest to your goal. If you want a great marriage, talk to someone with a 50-year marriage." — Karl Bryan "The higher-level question is: How can we increase profits 100% and keep clients happy?" — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Be Critical of Debt Offers: Young families should double down on principal payments if stuck with a longer-term mortgage and avoid upgrading lifestyle unnecessarily. Invest in People Before Assets: Entrepreneurs get the highest ROI by investing in team and systems before stocks or real estate. Leverage Group and Live Events: Group coaching and live events increase perceived value, retention, and pricing power. Innovate to Escape Commodity Pricing: Break out from "apples to apples" pricing by amplifying practical, inherent, and social value—be different, not cheaper. Avoid Your Worst Activity: Personal and client progress accelerates by cutting the most counterproductive habits first, not just starting new ones. Play the Long Game: Real business and personal success takes at least five years—commit, persist, and learn continuously.

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with entrepreneur and author Elle George to talk about the real-world lessons behind her book Before You Shake Hands. Elle opens up about the highs and lows of her business partnerships — from hostile takeovers to fundamental challenges that ultimately fueled growth and change. She shares insights on building success while working remotely, backing yourself when you can't rely on banks or loans, and reverse-engineering your day for greater productivity. Together, Todd and Elle break down the key questions every investor and entrepreneur should ask before forming a partnership — from understanding motives and roles to ensuring communication and alignment, much like a strong relationship or marriage. Favorite Book: The Women By Kristin Hannah 3 Pillars 1. Integrity 2. Authentic 3. Aligned Elle George has lived the cautionary tale most entrepreneurs hope to avoid.

Her book, Before You Shake Hands, is the guide she wishes she'd had—no fluff, no BS—just the essential questions every founder should ask before partnering up.

Printing as High-Tech: Franklin's Wealth Creation and the Dawn of His Electrical Experiments. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin arrived in Philadelphia at age 17 and, in just 22 years, transformed into an independently wealthy experimenter. Printing during this era was the "high-tech of the age," and Franklin's work involved scientific thinking. A powerful driving force was his ambition to be wealthy, maintaining a strong focus on the bottom line. Franklin leveraged quality to secure contracts and was a savvy real estate investor. Franklin became entangled in a bitter political fight with absentee landlord Thomas Penn, who viewed Pennsylvania solely as a source of money. Franklin's independent wealth, achieved when he sold his successful businesses around 1748, allowed him to pursue science. He immediately began experimenting with electricity, performing fundamental research and defining basic structures, introducing key terms like positive and negative, conductors and insulators. Franklin's rising fame as an experimenter eventually led his neighbors to call on him to represent Pennsylvania in London.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 475, published last February 11, 2015. In today's Creating Wealth show, Jason first talks about statistics and how so many people use it to manipulate others.

Today, Jason offers investment guidance, beginning with a discussion on the United States housing market, noting the significant pent-up demand from would-be buyers due to high interest rates and low sales volume. He then promotes income property as the most historically proven asset class, emphasizing the benefit of inflation-induced debt destruction, which reduces the real value of fixed payments over time. Additionally, Jason cautions against speculative investments and advises maintaining a diversified portfolio while strongly advocating for being a direct investor to avoid the risks associated with syndicators and fund managers, citing the recent Marco Santarelli fraud case as a key example of why investors should "maintain control." Finally, he briefly touches on the rarity of favorable US mortgage options for foreign nationals and offers contact information for building a real estate portfolio. Then Micheal Zuber and Jason focus on the critical distinction between a "bear" and a "doomer" or "crash bro" in financial markets. They argue that being a bear is a logical position based on market cycles, whereas being a doomer is akin to a "religion" motivated by profit, clicks, and the "stealing of hope." A key difference highlighted is that a bear will adjust their opinion when presented with new information, but a doomer never owns their mistakes and simply continues promoting fear, leading to significant opportunity cost for those who follow their advice and remain inactive. They conclude with a call for accountability, urging audiences to challenge doomers on their consistently wrong predictions. https://OneRentalAtATime.com/ #PureEvilExposed #TrillionsLost #InactionCost #OpportunityCost #FearForProfit #ReligionForMoney #FinancialScam #NeverAdmitMistakes #ConstantlyWrong #20PercentCrashLie #ChickenLittle #SkyIsFalling #MindPoisoned #AlgorithmReward #RentTrap #MissedTheWave #HoldThemAccountable Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:48 Check out the Longevity and Biohacking Podcast 2:46 Chart: Existing homes Sales 4:50 Pent Up demand 7:57 Annual nominal vs. inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time 10:23 Monthly inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time 11:17 I love Canada... but not Bitcoin 15:30 The Rational Optimist 16:35 Scammer Marco Santorelli indicted 23:04 We are here to help you build your portfolio Michael Zuber interviews Jason 24:04 Doomers vs. bears Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
This Flashback Friday is from episode 270 published last July 24, 2012. Relationship expert and best-selling author, Dr. John Gray, joins Jason Hartman to talk about research studies and Dr. Gray's new work, “Boys to Men.” Dr. Gray talks about how his observations have been backed up by and further explained by brain studies, showing obvious differences between men and women in brain function and hormones that affect health and behavior. He offers a deeper explanation of these differences based on scientific research showing how activities particular to each gender, diet, and an increased existence of xenoestrogens in our environment play a significant role in hormonal balance and imbalance. Dr. Gray discusses the proper use of supplements and the dangers of pharmaceuticals. This leads into his new work regarding healthy male development and his upcoming new book, Boys to Men, a look at how boys have been affected by today's culture, showing a higher dropout rate than girls, lower comprehension, and higher instances of boredom and depression. The high carbohydrate diet we consume plays a big role in this trend, and he cites inflammation in the brain as one factor in decreased comprehension. He describes activities, diet and supplements that can alleviate inflammation and stress and bring about optimal health in both men and women. John Gray, Ph.D. is the best-selling relationship author of all time and the most trusted voice in relationships today. He is the author of 17 books, including The New York Times #1 Best-Selling Book of the last decade, MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS. His 17 books have sold over 50 million copies in 50 different languages around the world. John is a leading internationally recognized expert in the fields of communication and relationships. His unique focus is assisting men and women in understanding, respecting and appreciating their differences.

Jason discusses various economic and cultural trends impacting real estate investment. The core argument revolves around the decline in household size due to factors like lower marriage and fertility rates, the rise of feminism, and government policies like welfare programs, which consequently increases demand for housing units. Jason connects these societal changes to the desire of consumer product companies and taxing authorities to encourage single-person households and divorce to boost sales and tax revenue, respectively. Finally, he strongly advocates for direct investment in real estate over investing in syndications or funds, warning of potential fraud, incompetence, and excessive fees associated with those investment vehicles, citing a recent criminal indictment as an example, and arguing that when correctly calculated, real estate offers superior leveraged returns compared to the stock market or gold.
