“It’s the seven inches between your ears that are keeping you from getting from where you are to where you want to go,” says Justin Brennan, Multifamily Investor and Host of the Abundance2Give podcast. On today’s premiere episode, Justin and co-host Maricruz dive deep into the story behind the podcast, their personal backgrounds in real estate and the keys to reaching success and giving back.

Justin explains to listeners that he spent much of his life limited by a fear-based money mindset. However, once he began to question this perspective, he was able to break through his money hangups, launch himself to success in real estate, and earn the financial freedom to give back to his community. To date, Justin and his partner have invested $23 million in real estate, with the goal of reaching $2 billion in the next ten years. On today’s episode, Maricruz interviews Justin about his insights on the real estate business climate, the perks of onsite management, the ins and outs of partnerships when it comes to investing, and more.

Tune into the very first episode of Abundance2Give for an honest conversation about breaking through the ceiling to achieve your dreams. Learn more about the power of mentorship, where hosts Maricruz and Justin see themselves in five years, and why giving back is a crucial component of leaving a lasting legacy.

Quotes

• “Why not do a podcast where we interview super successful people, but with the purpose of not really talking about the success part…but really diving a few layers deep and talking about the passions as to why they have this abundance to give back, have an impact, leave a legacy on the world?” (05:50-06:07)

• “It’s not just the, ‘Hey, I want to make all the money’ because that’s a motivator in the beginning, but it’s not a long-term motivator. That gets you going, but it’s not going to keep you going.” (14:06-14:15)

• “I don’t think that you can necessarily take, take, take and buy, buy, buy and feel fulfilled.” (20:11-20:20)

• “I look at [real estate investment] in terms of where’s the business climate? Where’s the fair-minded, ‘Hey, I want tenants protected, I want landlords protected, I want fair’? Just a level playing field.” (41:42-41:52)

• “Don’t focus on the money, focus on the state where you want to buy the property.” (46:33-46:39)

• “When you look at people who come from really bad environments, who go from zero to hero, and you look back and you follow their story, I guarantee you there’s a point in their life where they had a mentor or some education or a moment in time that triggered them to say, ‘Ok, I’m going to take this path, not that one.’” (57:56-58:13)

• “It’s the seven inches between your ears that are keeping you from getting from where you’re at to where you want to go.” (58:34-58:38)
