Finance is an integral part of our lives and plays a key role in each of our life events. While it is true that the way we handle our personal finances has a direct impact on every aspect of our lives, most of us lack the knowledge and skills necessary to manage our finances effectively.   In today's episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, our guest, Erik Hitzelberger will discuss how an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be used to achieve financial freedom in a number of unique ways. He will focus on the topic of Self-directed IRA as a tool for investing in real estate. In addition to property investment, Erik will also share some creative ways of maximizing the potential of an IRA.   His insight about Individual Retirement Account (IRA): There is a limit on how much you can contribute to your IRA, but there's no limit on what you can make.   Erik Hitzelberger is the Founder of the Freedom Property Group (FPG), Kentucky's premiere turn-key rental provider. Knowing that financial literacy is not taught in most academic institutions, Erik has made it his mission to educate people on how to manage their personal finances and achieve financial freedom.   Enjoy!   This episode is brought to you by Vouris –  We're Vouris – we've developed a powerful framework that allows early-stage startup companies to build stronger sales teams and hit their revenue targets.  We call it the 5 Components of Sales Effectiveness: People Process Message Technology & Leadership  Let us tell you exactly what to focus on to dramatically improve your results.

And yet we're not given any education at any point. People tell you, 'Oh, just blindly dump money into a 401k or whatever. And that's the solution.' And it turns out it's not." - Erik Hitzelberger   "One of the things people don't really know is that you can do most of the same investing that we do outside of our IRA with our traditional money inside of an IRA." - Erik Hitzelberger   "One of the biggest things that you do have to be careful of with a self-directed IRA is there are disqualified entities and these are people that you can't do business with. And it is generally a vertical family tree. You can't do business with yourself, your spouse, your parents, or your children." - Erik Hitzelberger   "Personal finance and managing your money is one of the most important things that you're going to do in life and yet we're not given any education at any point."- Erik Hitzelberger   Get in touch with Erik Hitzelberger Call (502) 921 3989 Email Website LinkedIn   Connect with JAY JOHNSON Call (858) 925- 4536 Website LinkedIn Facebook Instagram

What We Discuss with Erik Weihenmayer: How challenges unite us as human beings -- no matter our hardships or handicaps.

In this episode of the Data Journeys podcast, we have not one, but two guests!   Sivan Aldor-Noiman and Erik Andrejko join me from Wellio: an intelligent platform that uses machine learning and behavioral science to help people plan, shop, prepare and enjoy healthy meals at home.   Wellio is on a mission to decode how meals are prepared and enjoyed at home, both on an individual-level in terms of people’s preferences and on a global-level in terms of semantic & nutritional understanding of food.   Quite interestingly, Sivan began her career in the Israeli army, serving as an instructor for an anti-tank missile unit. Afterwards, she transitioned to school and received her undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering and a Master in Statistics from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology. At 26 years old she moved to the U.S. to complete a PhD degree in Statistics from The Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. Since then, she’s spent the majority of her career at The Climate Corporation, which -- despite what the name may suggest -- specializes in using data science to optimize farming practices.   Erik graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2001 from Arizona State University’s undergraduate Computer Science program before receiving his PhD in Pure Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009. He and Sivan first started working together at the Climate Corporation, where he was the VP of Science and Director of Data Science, leading the implementation of large scale statistical machine learning within numerous domains, including climatology, agronomic modeling and geo-spatial applications.   Today, Erik is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Wellio, while Sivan is the Head of Data Science and self-proclaimed Chief Fun Officer.   In this conversation, we dive deep into Wellio’s artificial intelligence for eating, covering topics like:   What it means to be a passionate disagreeable giver and how this fits into Sivan being Wellio’s Chief Fun Officer The problem that Wellio is solving and why’s is personally meaningful to Sivan and Erik The approach Wellio takes toward building recommendation systems to understand home chefs and using computer vision techniques to semantically learn food The most (and least) nutritious meals for your dollar, ranked by Wellio’s nutritional density model Why Erik sees trust as the necessary gateway when transitioning from descriptive recommendations to prescriptive recommendations How they learned at The Climate Corporation to help people who know nothing about data science (farmers) understand the power of it for their business Enjoy the show!   Show Notes: https://ajgoldstein.com/podcast/ep17/ Sivan’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sivan-aldor-noiman-297aa421/    Erik’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-andrejko-0900a51b/ AJ’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajgoldstein393/

As a former family law attorney, Erik describes himself as someone who’s “been through a thousand divorces and still believes in love.” Ushering couples through divorce wasn’t easy for Erik, a romantic from birth, but it turned out to be the ideal medium through which to understand the entire life cycle of a relationship. As a result, Erik has a unique, real-world comprehension of what makes one marriage thrive and another fall apart.  Ultimately, his calling to help couples build healthy relationships superseded his legal career, and he decided to dedicate himself full-time to creating a place couples could go for information, inspiration, and a big dose of truth. That’s when Together was born. TWEET: Erik Newton - Being the Happiest You’ve Ever Been After Climbing Back from Rock Bottom Twice He didn’t want to be a lawyer even though he went to law school. It’s interesting to hear how Erik Newton got started in law school. Honestly, it seemed like a cool thing to do, something prestigious that he thought would be fun. But it didn’t take long for him to discover that law was not what he wanted to do. But he went on with it anyway. It’s a strange part of the journey Erik has been on that has led him to the point he’s at today, recording the stories of couples who are happily together even though in his own past he was part of helping couple dissolve their relationships as a divorce attorney. You can hear Erik’s story on this episode. His lowest point led him to start something new. There came a point in Erik’s legal career as a family law attorney when things bottomed out. His practice failed. He lost his income, apartment, and other possessions. He moved back in with his mother. He spiraled into depression. It was at that lowest point in his life when he realized that he needed to come to grips with the pain and disappointment of the failure, to go as deeply into it as he could. When he came out of it one morning, everything was alright. That’s when he began moving toward his current work with the Together podcast and magazine.  It’s hard to describe this time in his life clearly in a paragraph so be sure you listen to hear it from Erik’s own lips. TWEET: His #LowestPoint led him to start something new. Find out how on this episode Recording the pilot of a yet to be purchased radio show. One of the fortuitous happenings in Erik Newton’s journey is that he approached a couple about being interviewed for his podcast and they refused. But the man was curious about what he was doing, listened to a couple of episodes, and loved what the show was about. He texted Erik and asked to go to coffee where he pitched the idea of a radio show he’d been wanting to produce for a long time (he was a radio producer). So now Erik is about to record the first episode of a new radio show that will be pitched to radio stations around the country. It’s a strange outcome of an up and down life and you can hear the entire story on this episode. You are not really all that important. When Aimee asked her guest today, Erik Newton, what advice he has for those who are chasing their dreams, he said something unexpected. “You are just not that important.” He says that when he finally came to grips with the fact that in the entire, big universe he’s just a speck, somehow the pressure to be and do so much with his life lessened and he was able to be at peace with what comes each day. That includes what he’s able to accomplish, no matter how much or little it may seem to him. You can hear how he came to this perspective on this episode. TWEET: You are not really all that important. Strange advice for #DreamChasers, on this episode OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [0:50] Aimee’s introduction to her guest, Erik Newton.
