In this episode, Alex and Trent talk about the world of social media influencers and to be aware of who you idolize. To many times people think someone is living this awesome life but in reality it is just a image they portray. This is big in the real estate industry for people to "fake it till they make it" and when it comes to buying a home, you want someone who genuinely cares about you, not the money! Fact check the people you look up to on social media. The biggest piece of advice we can give is look at the engagement, numbers don't lie.

In this episode, Alex and Trent got to interview a pretty special guest, Miguel Olave. He has an awesome story, which we talk about, but better yet, he is on Linkedin preaching mental health. Successfully doing it on that platform comes at a surprise but when you talk to him you'll see why. Listen in for tips to improve your mental health, when we should be talking about it with our kids, and ways that he wants to get involved in spreading the message that your mental health is just as important!
You can connect with Miguel on LinkedIn, he is very responsive through this platform and you'll be able to follow his journey. Remember, he was just an normal person who had an idea, acted upon the idea, and is now looked at as a true advocate for mental health.

**Part 2 with David Moore.
In this episode, Alex and Trent discuss self-directed IRA's with David. Not many people have a clue what these are or how they can be of a benefit. It was David's idea to not talk 1031 exchange the entire time and add more value by talking about something less than 20% of people know about. David Moore is a encyclopedia when it comes to exchanges or IRA's, we are beyond thankful to have him speak to our audience and share tips about these useful investment tools!

**In this episode, Alex and Trent are talking 1031 exchanges with David Moore. In this two part series, the first dives deep into who David is and how he ended up in the exchange world. Hearing his story we felt could inspire someone out there to do something you would have never imagined. After hearing his story we dove straight into figuring out what a 1031 exchange is and how they are used. There is an insane amount of useful information for investors or even future real estate investors packed into this episode. If you don't know what an exchange is after this episode then what were you listening to? David covers just about every aspect and in simple terms, easy to understand, this isn't rocket science.

**In this episode, Trent and Alex dive into credit. They discuss what credit is and how big of an impact it can have on people.
