Wyatt Graves
Each week on this show, you'll get to learn from world class Mentors who are sharing behind the scene strategies which will help you level up your life and business. Jim Rohn said, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." If you're interested in upgrading your 5, and living "The Good Life" then this podcast is for you!
Today's conversation is with Blake Erickson—entrepreneur, co-founder of Scaling.com, and the unlikely partner who helped Ben Hardy take scaling to the world.

We also get personal about my own scaling vision, unpacking how real estate, impact, and podcasting intersect with my mission to serve aging-out foster youth.
If you're struggling to align your business goals with your deeper purpose, I hope this episode sparks the clarity you've been craving.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of sharing a recent conversation I had with Brooke and Christian Torres. With years of experience in the trailer park industry and real estate investment world, they started their own business and quickly scaled an impressive real estate portfolio consisting of trailer parks and RV resorts across the country.
Today, they share their story, including growing a trailer park portfolio to $100 million in one year's time. This husband and wife duo bring an incredible energy and drive to the table that is sure to captivate you. Join me for this informative and exciting conversation!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- The power of being relational
- Lessons learned from hiring a contractor
- Flipping a trailer park portfolio
- Tapping into the power of mentorship
Episode Highlights:
[10:09] The Power of Being Relational to Become Transformational
When it comes to building relationships, focusing on commonalities is key. By avoiding transactional interactions and instead seeking to connect with others on a deeper level, you open up the potential for long-lasting and meaningful relationships. Whether you're living in a high-end building like the Porsche Design tower, or simply meeting new people in your day-to-day life, take the time to ask questions and show interest in their lives and this will lead to unexpected opportunities. Rather than forcing transactions, let trust and connection grow naturally over time. This approach can lead to lifelong connections with high-performers and successful individuals who can help you achieve your goals.
[33:54] Flipping a Trailer Park Portfolio
Brooke and Christian's experience in growing a trailer park portfolio can be attributed to their prior success in business. As co-CEOs of a company focused on RV resorts and mobile home parks, they were able to increase revenue from $6 million to over $25 million in just two years. The company had a portfolio valuation of $100 million when they joined, and Brooke and Christian leveraged their skills to take it to an impressive $400 million valuation. Their commitment to building the company over two years resulted in annual revenue of $25 million. This experience gave them the expertise and confidence to start their own business and scale it rapidly to become industry leaders.
[37:32] How Brooke and Christian Leveraged Their Past to Build a Trailer Park Portfolio
Brooke and Christian's experience in scaling a company provided them with invaluable knowledge about what not to do. They used this insight to approach their own business with a clear plan of action. After taking massive action, they repositioned properties that they knew fit the model of a successful company they had previously worked with. This allowed them to accumulate a valuable portfolio that was attractive to potential buyers. Ultimately, they sold $78 million worth of their portfolio to the other company, while keeping three properties for themselves. Their ability to learn from past experiences and leverage that knowledge enabled them to build a profitable trailer park portfolio.

Content creation is strongly tied to the growth of your business. But if writing content is not really your strong suit, there’s an AI that is currently disrupting industries when it comes to creating content. Let’s get to know ChatGPT.
In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, I interview Ariel Levin about ChatGPT and how they're using it.. As an AI language model, ChatGPT has the capability to generate human-like responses to a wide range of topics and questions, including those related to sales and content creation. Learn how to leverage ChatGPT in creating content as well LinkedIn as your platform of choice, especially if you’re in the B2B space.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- The benefits of ChatGPT
- Leveraging LinkedIn to network and grow your business
- Using chat GPT to fund raise investment capital on LinkedIn
- Execution matters.
- How to market to your target audience
Episode Highlights:
[03:13] How ChatGPT is Disrupting the Content Creation Space
In content creation, ChatGPT can be used to generate high-quality written content, such as articles, blog posts, and social media posts. It can also be used to suggest topics and headlines, and to provide insights on content performance and engagement.
For instance, if you're planning a trip anywhere in the world, it can suggest an itinerary for you. It can also create a course or a presentation for you to create a presentation. In other words, it can create a ton of things for you.
In the context of sales, ChatGPT can be used to generate personalized responses to customer inquiries and provide recommendations based on their specific needs and preferences. It can also be used to automate lead generation and follow-up, helping sales teams to more efficiently and effectively engage with potential customers.
[07:07] Leveraging ChatGPT and LinkedIn in the B2B Space
LinkedIn is still uncharted territory for many and underutilized for others. And those who are going to embrace it can really advance their careers and jumpstart their business in a big way. But it does require work, and there are no shortcuts.
LinkedIn is a powerful social media platform for B2B marketing as it allows you to connect with potential clients, industry peers, and thought leaders. You could ask ChatGPT to give you ideas on how to promote your business. You can ask for ideas for a slide presentation and ask it to expand on each of those subjects. Ask questions about marketing collaterals to develop, connection request templates for LinkedIn, follow-up messages to write on LinkedIn, and post suggestions.
LinkedIn and ChatGPT can be powerful tools for B2B marketing and customer service. By leveraging these tools effectively, you can increase your brand awareness, generate leads, and provide excellent customer support.

Too many people lack stable housing, but how do we solve that crisis? One method is creating affordable housing, but that's not a permanent solution.
Enter Mike Kaeding: he aims to rebuild the housing system in America. He wants a solution that ends the problem permanently.
Tune in to find out how he leverages business success into a solution to one of America’s biggest problems.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- The long-term solution to housing in America
- Why you should (or shouldn’t) get unaccredited investors
- Hire the right people for your company
Episode Highlights
[02:38] Mike’s BHAG
Mike's company, Norhart, reduced construction costs by 30%. They aim to rebuild the housing system by building more housing. By increasing the supply to match the housing demand, they hope to bring prices down.
[10:05] Mike’s Journey
Mike’s company has thousands of units, but their platform is construction. They do all manufacturing and most trades in-house as well.
Mike's parents started the company, but he's been involved even while young. He initially didn't want to be part of the business, but his dad encouraged him to take over. The company doubled in size every few years.
[14:36] Finance Talks
Banks typically fund 75% of a project, but the true constraint is human capital. Mike's company needs top talent. They've recently opened up to outside investors and are considering removing the bank so investors can get more returns. They've also created a system to get around the problems of accepting unaccredited investors.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[07:18] "The average American's salary, about 30% of that goes to housing. My dream is to make that 15% rather than 30%."
[09:51] "How do we make the whole system, how do we figure out the whole nation to be affordable in the next five to ten years?"
[12:05] “I didn't really know what I was doing, but I think that was sort of the magic because we could start questioning everything. Like, why is construction done the way it's done?”
[30:01] "The number one thing that I learned, and it totally changed the game of our company from growing at meager rates to now growing very substantially and seeing a radical improvement in this industry is one simple thing: It's hire the very best people."

When you need a job done, should you figure out how to do it, or find someone else to do it? If you want to make money, it’s the latter.
In this episode, Justin Ledford explains how to make money through subcontracting. Rather than do something yourself, find the people with the expertise. Connect them with people who need work done.
Tune in to the episode to find out how to use subcontractors to create a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Find the best people for the job
- What “sales” really means
- Learn the Triad of Life
- You don’t need to buy a company in an industry
Episode Highlights
[04:24] Sharing the Dream
Justin had a dream of retiring before 40 and living in Costa Rica. He was a sales guy but saw his wife working late at night. Together, they decided to start a company. He invested in mentors to learn the best way to start a roofing company. After that, he began teaching others to do what he was doing.
[13:27] Transitioning from Houston to Costa Rica
Justin’s family lost a lot of money when he was young. He had to grow up quickly. That experience taught him the value of money. He started hustling and saved more money than the adults in his life.
[24:39] Getting into an Industry
You don’t have to buy a company in an industry. Justin instead contacts subcontractors and connects them with people who need jobs done. His two moneymakers are insurance companies and the government.
[36:36] Two Stories of Success
Ralph, a home builder, contacted Justin through YouTube. He makes six figures per contract through government jobs. Another story is that Justin took a government contract and found the best subcontractors to do the job.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[03:09] "It's not necessarily the money that makes me thrive anymore. It's more about the impact and following my passion."
[12:40] “I always follow the rule: ‘Always win on the buy.’ My second rule is: ‘Always win on the buy.’”
[16:31] "I've already geeked out on the industry. I studied how to be a good roofing salesman. I already own the business, so I knew about it. But I didn't master my craft."
[33:56] “You’ve read the book, Who, Not How? We have people who are getting them done. They’re making profits, we’re making profits, and it’s just a match made in heaven.”

Setting goals is essential for growth, but we must clearly understand our values, priorities, and direction in life before we can set them. We will discuss why finding clarity is necessary to accomplish our goals and why making time for ourselves is essential.
By the end of this episode, you will better understand why finding clarity is essential for achieving your goals and have practical tips on gaining it. We discuss how we can be as intentional as possible toward our goals and experience the life we desire. Join us for this episode as we ignite your journey toward finding clarity and achieving your goals.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Reconciling where we are and where we want to be
- Chase the dream
- Maintain meaningful connections
- Have a vision
Episode Highlights:
[3:01] Reconciling Where We Are And Where We Want To Be
We want to be clear with our goals. The first step in doing this is reconciling where we are and where we're going. New goals have been achieved, and pivots need to be made for new ideas. Spend some time finding clarity on what we need to do daily and how those activities would add to our overall goals.
[12:05] Chasing the Dream
Our actions should inspire our kids when they see us living our life. Make them feel inspired to live the life that we’re living. So not only are we supposed to chase our dream and show that to our kids, but we also inspire them to do the same thing. We need to make sure our goals are identified and then make them happen.
[13:21] Maintain Meaningful Connections
If we're not intentionally doing things, then we're just existing. We must keep track of who we have meaningful conversations and with whom we connect. It is important for us to be able to live the life that we want to live.
[39:15] Have a Vision
We have to think big and have a vision. Without a vision, how will we know if we're going in the right direction? Thinking big means getting a clear vision that can lead us to the clarity we aspire to achieve. Be clear on what we need to do today to win the day so that we can wake up tomorrow knowing that yesterday was fruitful and successful.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[13:19] “If you're not intentionally doing things, then you're just existing.”
[25:39] “Without a vision, how will you know if you're going in the right direction?”
[40:10] “Find out where you want to go, and then get around other people who are already there, and you'll become like them.”
[40:22] “People get where they want to be because they are intentional about it.”

You have the power to become who you want to be. The decision-making process begins with elevated thinking. It is shaped by self-imposed life messages and accelerated by surrounding oneself with the right people.
Keith Craft, founder and lead pastor of Elevate Life Church, joins me to discuss his principles of leadershipology. He is the author of the best-seller, Your Divine Fingerprint. A millionaire before becoming a pastor, Keith has gone from making his dreams come true to helping make others' dreams come true. Through ministry and his leadershipology, Keith’s mission is: “To be a loving leader, mentor, and motivator (coachivator) of biblical excellence that helps people reach their full God-given potential.”
What life messages should you live by? How does your God-given uniqueness provide an answer? Why is who we align with important?
Tune in to the episode to start elevating your life today!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Align yourself with who you want to be
- Build your life on your life lessons
- Leave an imprint that only you can leave
- Elevate your thinking to elevate your life
Episode Highlights:
[12:53] From Words to Life Messages
Avoid following life messages others impose. It can lead to insecurities when we fail to meet their expectations. Instead, we should decide our life messages to live by. We have the power to establish meaning in the words that make up life.
[20:50] What Our Unique Fingerprints Mean
Humans share 99% of DNA, making us more alike than we would normally think. Amongst our uniqueness is our fingerprints. No one else will ever have our same fingerprints. God made it so we can fulfill our purpose of leaving an imprint that nobody else can leave.
[27:08] Thinking Before Being
Thinking usually takes a backseat and is controlled by individual preferences. But how we think determines our attitude and how we live. It also creates our words, leading to our life messages. We must elevate our thinking to find the right messages to live by.
[40:59] Getting What We Decide, Not What We Deserve
We have preconceived notions of what we deserve in life. Sometimes we act upon these notions to demand and seek happiness by leaving or quitting. But happiness is a choice. We have to decide what we want and then choose to become the person who can get it. Our thoughts determine decisions.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[3:49] “Your alignments are more important than your assignments.”
[19:25] “Once you have a life lesson, you can build your life on that lesson.”
[45:22] “When you elevate your thinking, you elevate your life.”

You derive so much value from having good people around you. Sometimes, you can be that good person. Parents are their children's first mentors; one skill they need is financial literacy.
I interviewed Clifton Corbin, author of Your Kids, Their Money, who also updated The Richest Man in Babylon so that parents can teach their children how to handle money. Imagine what it would be like if you were money-savvy in your early childhood. How successful would you be today?
Tune in and find out how to become the mentor to your child — or the people around you.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Resources to teach children financial literacy
- Why we need relationships and not just money
- You’re more qualified than you think to talk about money
- Why everyone benefits from a mentor
Episode Highlights:
[3:37] Fundamental Texts for Financial Literacy
The Richest Man in Babylon is a fundamental text but an ancient book. Clifton worked with his ten-year-old son to modernize it and wrote Your Kids, Their Money to help parents.
[12:26] The Value of Relationships
For Clifton, relationships are just as meaningful as wealth. A sense of wholeness and fulfillment comes from financial security and healthy relationships. You need the whole package.
[19:24] The Domino Concept
Part of financial literacy is learning which domino to tip so that your money makes more money. The key is paying yourself first, meaning some portion of what you make goes directly to you. It's an investment in yourself.
[33:01] Clifton's Tips for Parents
Parents are their children's first mentors. They have to teach them financial literacy and the power of relationships. Talking about money can be uncomfortable, but we must prepare our children.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[14:04] "It's about surrounding yourself with people who not just share your values, but who have also invested in you and invested in your well-being."
[19:39] "Pay yourself first."
[38:36] “You know how to earn, you know how to save, or you know the ramifications of not doing some of these things. So you have experience that your child does not have.”

For entrepreneurs, investments can help us reach our goals, make a profit, and grow our businesses. Learn to build good relationships with investors to create an investment fund.
Dallon Schultz, President of REV Equity Group, shares his expertise in nurturing relationships and creating funds to invest in the business. How can investment and equity funds benefit us, our team, and our customers? What should we know to set up an investment fund?
Tune in to the episode to learn more about investment funds and how to create one!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Relationships can change your life
- Sharing profit and getting investments
- Starting an investment fund
- The importance of a securities attorney
- Aligning and connecting with your investors
Episode Highlights:
[09:06] Connecting the Investor With the Deal
Many successful entrepreneurs have the mindset of building and nurturing transformational relationships. REV Equity Group is a private investment firm that realized the importance of these relationships. Dallon and his team noticed a disconnect between investors and operators and saw the need to bridge this gap.
[18:43] Getting Customers Invested
Profit sharing can get the team, consumers, and investors more deeply invested in the company. To do this, be aware that there are multiple layers. In most situations, you have more than one customer. Find what connects them, and remember to consult with a securities attorney before you raise capital.
[29:46] The REV Equity Fund
REV's fund works in two ways. They can use the fund to buy shares in a company purchasing a property. Meanwhile, a tenancy-in-common structure is more of a partnership. They purchase a big percentage of the ownership.
Their fund should generate enough profit interest to distribute to investors and hit their target returns. This works with multiple investments as REV underwrites the many deals that flow into the fund.
[40:18] Setting Up Your Own Fund
Stress test your ideas before you set up a fund. Ask your network for their insight. Having a fund involved in several unrelated things may deter investors. Consult with a security attorney. Often, they can provide ideas and suggestions to help set up your investment fund.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[14:39] “We're bridging that gap between the investor and the operators.”
[24:08] “Before you raise capital, consult with a securities attorney.”
[35:16] “If we're bringing in half of the capital, we absolutely want to have more of an involvement and say in how that deal is operating.”

Have you been contemplating joining your first Mastermind and worried if the investment will be worth it?
In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Natalee Champlin joins us to share her Mastermind journey and how it has helped her uplevel herself and her business. She also shares the value of surrounding yourself with intentional and affluent people.
Want to know how you can improve your life and business with Mastermind? Tune in to the episode to learn all about it!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Investing in Mastermind is one way of being intentional with who you surround yourself.
- Develop an abundant and affluent mindset.
- Whatever energy you possess is what you project and attract.
- Sometimes, a leap of faith makes the difference.
Episode Highlights:
[02:02] Natalee’s First Mastermind Event
Natalee joined her first Mastermind in 2018. She remembers stressing out over the $5,000 sign up fee, until she gained insight that joining will help her gain clarity and build relationships with other intentional people. Five years later, Natalee now invests $30,000 a year in Mastermind.
[05:36] My First Mastermind Event
I have been an entrepreneur for 15 years before joining my first Mastermind. Like Natalee, I also struggled with the $5,000 because I was still rebuilding my house from a flood without insurance. What made me go all in was Jim Rowan's quote that "We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” Investing in the Mastermind is how I surround myself and build relationships with intentional people.
[07:31] Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset
In making business decisions, you can be someone who decides from a place of abundance and affluence or someone who bases decisions on price. Choose to surround yourself with affluent people until you become one. Remember, whatever energy you possess is what you project and attract.
[09:52] Taking Leaps of Faith
Finding the $5,000 to sign up for your first Mastermind can be a challenge. But the key is to be resourceful and make the money possible. Commit and believe in your heart that you are on a trajectory bigger than where you are now. Remember that every time you seek transformation, it can feel like being in a triangle that is getting smaller and darker. But, when you take a leap of faith, the triangle inverts and you will be at the top with opportunity, abundance, and expansion.
Notable Quotes from the Episode:
[03:09] “Being open and vulnerable is what allows you to build real relationships with people.”
[09:27] “Whatever energy you possess is what you project and therefore attract.”
[10:30] “It's about you making this internal commitment of, ‘I already know in my heart of hearts, that I am on a trajectory that is bigger than where I'm at now.’”

Everyone wants clarity, but they're not only seeking clarity out of confusion or because they're lost. It's because they crave more. They know they're meant for something more but need to learn how to get there.
There is no better place to find clarity than at a Mastermind event with other people who are on the same path or, in some cases, have already been there.
Deborah Cornella, Sales and Marketing Specialist, joins me to talk about finding clarity, getting out from being lost, and connecting with intentional people.
Tune in to the episode to learn how to make intentional connections!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Choose the five people you surround yourself with
- Being called out has benefits
- Don’t rely on your fallback
- Know your blind spot
Episode Highlights:
[7:04] Are You Looking for Clarity?
When you feel lost, you look for clarity. But it's not just because of confusion — it's also because you want more than what you have right now. The best place to discover clarity is with people on the same path, journey, and in some cases, those who have already found it.
If you are feeling lost, the fastest way to get out of being lost is to get in the room with people who aren’t lost.
[11:28] You Need to be Called Out
Tough comments help you grow. Being called out on your shortcomings can create an environment where everybody knows your stuff. Someone should call you out when you're hiding behind something or not doing something you should or could be doing.
A good plan and idea aren't enough — you must follow through. Someone calling you out can help you pull the trigger on what you want to happen.
[17:29] Stay Connected To Be Connected With Our Goals
You have to connect to people to stay tethered to your vision and desired future self.You leave knowing someone who will hold you accountable.
[24:55] You Can’t Afford Not To
Don't fall into the trap of saying you lack time or will do something tomorrow. You should say, "I can't afford not to." Just do it. Stop making reasons about why you can't. Remember: you have to follow through.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[10:13] “I knew that the fastest way to get out of being lost was to get in a room with people who weren’t lost.”
[15:43] “I took everything I learned there and everything I learned from the one thing and everything I learned from the previous Mastermind I've been in to ramp myself into the top producer within three months.”
[33:35 ] "Just do it. Stop making up reasons and excuses about why you can't or why you won't."

Are you just going through the motions of life? Or are you living it to the fullest? It may be time to change your perspective. Going from a “have-to” to a “get-to” view is an eye-opening experience that can help you be intentional about the choices you make every day.
In this episode, I discuss the difference between a “get-to” and a “have-to” perspective. I talk about how you can face the trials and tribulations required to Get-To the other side of this goal that you want, as opposed to the “have-to” perspective. Are you ready to change your perspective?

- Be intentional and purposeful.
- Your mindset may be holding you back from becoming your desired future self.
- Stop being reactive and start being proactive about what you do every day.
Episode Highlights:
[2:05] “Get-to” vs “Have-to”: Shifting Your Perspective
The distinction between “get-to” and “have-to” is a simple one to make. It's a tactic to shift the mindset and get more out of life. Behavior comes before motivation; action comes before motivation.
Shifting your perspective from a “have-to” to a “get-to” is an excellent tactic to get you into action. Think about the things you get to do and be grateful that you get to do them.
[4:26] Everything You Do is a Choice
You always have a choice in everything you do. Everything you're doing is a “get-to” option, a “get-to” behavior, a “get-to” activity. You don't have to do anything. That is when you have the decision to make.
[8:24] The Fear That Life Will Come To An End
Life will come to an end, and you will have regrets that you wished you had lived a different life. Make it a point to do it with passion and intentionality. Bronnie Ware, a hospice nurse, did research documenting the answers of her patients who were near death. Most people's biggest regret is not living the life they wanted instead of doing what they thought others expected of them.
[11:07] There are Only Two Choices in Everything That You Do
Ask yourself, "What if I didn't have to do it?" You have a choice in what we do. If you maintain a “have-to” attitude about it, then fear drives you, not faith. The choices you make are driven by fear or by faith.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[2:20] “Behavior precedes motivation, or action comes before motivation.”
[3:16] “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
[ 4:38] “By having this “get-to” perspective, you have a choice in every single thing that you do.”
[10:16] “People are not living the lives that they intentionally want to live, they're living a “have- to” life instead of a “get-to” life.

Being around successful people can be impactful and motivating. Building relationships can help you gain clarity, focus on your vision, and take action.
Adam Eidson, Season 2 host for The Mentee Podcast, joins me to discuss the benefits of being part of a Mastermind class. Could this change your mindset and your direction for the year? How can getting into a relationship with outstanding individuals help you grow?
Tune in to the episode to achieve your goals and connect with people better!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Build relationships
- Take action
- Have clarity and accountability
- Grow and be better
Episode Highlights:
[04:10] Take Action and Make Connections
Geoff Woods used to run The Mentee. Back then, Geoff said, "Anybody, call me. If you call me, I'll help you." So Adam did, and Geoff answered. From there, they built a relationship and went on Mastermind weekends, where Adam learned to hone the skill of building relationships.
[06:06] Add Value
Geoff invited speakers such as Ron Lynch, the marketing genius behind GoPro's remarkable growth from a $2 million to $150 million company in just two years. Adam found meeting these successful people enriching.
[07:58] What is it I Want?
Align your vision and goals. Losing track of your dream can happen; coaching can help you stay on course. Inner work requires reminding yourself of what you want. Accountability and clarity are essential for achieving success.
[10:33] Transformational Change
Being around people who have achieved epic success can be inspiring. There is vulnerability and transparency; everyone aims to gain personal growth and learn from each other. The mastermind event is not about exchanging business cards but building relationships and adding value. The experience is not transactional but transformational, where you can be your true self.
[13:15] Making the Best of My Day
Ron Lynch encouraged people to make the best of every day, like putting a coin in a slot machine, and to think about what they want others to say about them at their funeral. With these unforgettable stories, Adam highlights the importance of living a life with purpose.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[08:04] “What is your vision? What are your goals? Stay aligned with your vision and goals.”
[08:44] “It’s easy to say, ‘I want a raise’ or ‘I want to lose weight’ but it’s the inner work … it’s reminding yourself, hey, what is it I want?”
[12:04] “Don’t go network. Build relationships.”

A Mastermind is an event for a small group of intentional individuals seeking to upgrade their lives and take “living the good life” to a whole new level. It helps bring clarity and leaves a significant impact on your point of view in life.
Vadim Makhlis, a renowned entrepreneur, joins me to discuss what compelled him to attend a Mastermind and what he learned there. How will joining a Mastermind help you become wiser? Listen to this podcast to find out.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- A Mastermind can leave a significant impact
- Find clarity if you feel lost
- Consider what you did and did not do
- We grow into the conversations around us
- Human connections are best made face-to-face
Episode Highlights
[1:02] Introduction to the Mastermind
Wyatt and Vadim met at the second Mastermind. Vadim returned for the second because the first had made such an impression on him. He'd been keeping an eye on Geoff because he was the host of The Mentee at the time.
[2:50] Why Vadim attended
Vadim had left the automotive industry to start another company that was only loosely related to the industry, but he found it “numbingly dull.” He felt a little lost after leaving a job that compensated him well.
He began to listen to Geoff and attempted to find his way. Then Geoff said something about the Mastermind that Vadim knew he needed.
[4:38 ] Money concerns
Vadim hesitated to join a Mastermind because of his finances, but a Mastermind was worth the price. What he learned made him his money back and more over the last five years.
[7:16] A Mastermind forms small, intimate connections
Vadim believes everything is better done face-to-face, if and when appropriate and possible. That is how you make human connections.
Many of these connections have brought Vadim tremendous value over the years. We grow into the conversations around us.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[5:42] “I look back on the things that I applied, and then I looked back on those things I didn't apply. And how both of those things have made me money and whatever else over the last five years.”
[7:18] “There was a lot of value in the things that I didn't apply, and then came to see the wisdom of what I had learned but didn't apply, and then applied it the next time.”
[8:39] “Anything that's done is done better face to face… You just make human connections that way.”

A new year means it’s time to set our goals. And as always, remember they come with challenges and setbacks we must face and overcome. So to achieve our goals entails becoming unshakable and having grit in the face of adversity. But what does it mean? How does one become unshakable?
In this episode of the Mentee Podcast, I am sharing my thoughts on becoming unshakable. Listening to a podcast with Tony Robbins inspired me to engage in classes and discussions on the matter. I bring you the culmination of my thoughts on what it takes to be unshakable.
Tune in to this episode to gain insights on achieving your goals.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Be unshakable.
- Shape your environment towards your goals.
- Find the right mentor.
Episode Highlights:
[3:29] Gain Clarity to Create Necessary Forcing Functions
Find clarity on your goals for the year and what matters most. Shape your environment towards them by taking action and creating forcing functions. Forcing functions are the things and situations that compel your initiative and willingness to engage in an activity. Steer them towards your goals and your values to be unshakable.
[7:40] Forge the Right Relationships for You
The people you choose to surround yourself with will affect your journey to reaching your goals. They could either hinder your progress or be of great benefit and support to you. You can choose and create forcing functions to find the right people. The best relationships to forge are finding mentors who have already achieved the goals you want for yourself.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[2:24] “If you’re unshakable, then you have grit.”
[5:12] “Sometimes you have to just sign up.”
[10:43] “Action leads to habits and habits create our futures.”
[16:06] “Take action. Find a mentor. Get connected.”

It is easy to find ourselves sidetracked in a society with constantly developing technologies and social media. Sometimes we indulge ourselves in distractions to the point we're unable to complete necessary tasks. To achieve our goals, we must figure out ways to not let distractions take over our control.
Peter Shankman, best-selling author and CEO of ShankMinds joins me to talk about how you can overcome distractions to achieve your goals. Are you having trouble staying focused on your tasks? How do you take control of your life to prevent straying from the good? Peter takes his understanding and experience with ADHD to show us the way.
Tune in to the episode to take control of your life and learn to stay focused on your goals.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Plan everything beforehand
- Discipline yourself with rules
- Understand yourself and your priorities
- It's okay to be different
Episode Highlights:
[4:24] Having ADHD and Controlling Distractions
ADHD is when distractions, forgetfulness, and inattentiveness become an issue regardless of the situation. It causes lower dopamine levels that lead to constantly seeking ways to achieve pleasure and satisfaction.
[16:34] Choosing the Right Environment for Your Goals
Find a happy place for each task and avoid situations you know will ruin your plans. Peter goes skydiving to provide him hours of focused thinking time from the dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline he garnered from the activity.
[25:18] The Proper Way to Deal with People with ADHD
The body seeking dopamine may cause misbehavior in kids and adults with ADHD. We must not be quick to judge them as broken. Nurturing individuals with ADHD with care and support helps prevent them from straying into a life of crime or addiction.
[38:39] Don’t Let the Distractions Control Your Life
Gadgets and media exist as tools to provide us what we need. The moment we let these things control our behavior is when we lose focus on what we need to do. Fortunately, we can modify our surroundings to ensure control over our lives. Peter says we should make use of this power.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[14:18] “The thing that is the most important to you is that which allows your life to be better.”
[30:53] “Just because someone is different than someone else, does not mean that they’re broken.”
[34:09] “Know thyself- I’d say is the first rule. Everything else gets easier after you know thyself.”

Real estate investing is tough without a plan. Some beginners think real estate investment starts when they buy a property. But that is not always the case.
Sterling Chapman of Crestworth Capital joins me to explain how to grow your portfolio strategically. We also talk about how to achieve success in the real estate industry. What do we need to do, and with whom?
Tune in to the episode to change how you strategize your portfolio growth!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Buy the right property
- The mindset you need to succeed
- Learn why you should delegate
- What separates you from success
Episode Highlights:
[03:57] Find the Right Property
Let go of attachments to locations when buying property. Sterling also recommends asking the following: Population trends — is the population increasing or decreasing? Job market — how good and diverse is the market? Crime and poverty rates, and supply and demand?
[08:59] Sterling’s Secrets to Growth
Sterling's first property was in 2018. He credits his growth to Napoleon Hill. He realized he had the power to become rich.
[16:48] How to Manage Money
Balance money and keep a source of profit. Sterling sometimes covers underperforming portfolios, but he knows most of his profit will come from flips.
He determines what to flip through a price-to-rent ratio.
[19:15] Balancing Responsibilities
Sterling has always preferred flexibility. He last needed to manage his own properties in 2019. Today, he delegates that responsibility to others.
[25:01] How People Succeed
Everyone is functioning at 10% of their capacity. The line that separates the average and elite is productive discomfort. This discomfort involves overwhelm, frustration, and pressure. Remember, it's not about motivation — it's about discipline. Take action first. Surround yourself with people you want to be like.
[35:18] Financing and Finding Deals
Sterling typically taps into the following lenders: smaller community banks and a national hedge fund. He also launched a marketing campaign to get wholesalers to offer deals.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[08:51] “The best way to be careful is to just make sure you're in a growth market that is going to continue to have a high demand for the tenant base.”
[23:13] “I constantly feel overwhelmed. The answer is just creating systems to do it —who not what, how other people fill in the gaps.”
[30:10] “It's not motivation, it's discipline.”

Mothers will sacrifice anything and everything for their children. From the health risks of pregnancy to nurturing their kids throughout their lives, mothers truly do it all. And sometimes, this comes at the cost of their own happiness. But mothers don’t have to be martyrs.
Alyce Dailey, the author of The Magic Mother, joins me to discuss how you can be happy as a mother and an entrepreneur. Are you feeling burned out from a stale life as a mompreneur? How can your ideal situation become a reality?
Tune in to the episode to develop a mindset toward happiness and success as a parent.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Happiness is a decision.
- You can be selfish.
- Use your life experience to your advantage.
- You are not alone.
Episode Highlights:
[08:13] Reevaluate Your Situation, Decide What You Want, then Do it
On your journey to happiness, it’s vital to reflect on where you are and where you want to be. If change is necessary, then don’t hesitate to make adjustments. Waiting until it’s too late means regretting what could have been.
[11:46] What’s Your Ideal Situation?
Figuring out what to do next begins with asking yourself what you can do. Use your experiences to provide a solution for questions people are asking. Promote the knowledge that you have.
[16:17] Fostering Happiness for Others Starts with You
Every mother wants their children to be happy, and parents are the best role model for their kids. To be a role model for happiness means being happy yourself. It’s okay to be a little selfish.
[27:03] Change Up the Environment
Sometimes we need time and space away from our daily lives, especially as parents. Mixing things up refreshes the mind and inspires you to become a better version of yourself.
[30:21] Building a Community of Similarly Situated Individuals
Parenting, in addition to other adult responsibilities, is challenging. Despite setbacks, remember that you’re not alone. There are others like you who are facing similar challenges. Learn and develop through each other as you build a strong community of support.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[12:32] “Our genius is so close to us that we can’t see it. It feels so much like breathing that we think everybody else can do it too. ”
[16:09] “The greatest burden on a child is the unlived life of a parent.”
[24:53] “Would you be willing to die for your kids? Absolutely. Okay, but if we’re willing to die for them, are we willing to fully live for them?”

Just like everybody else, we’ve faced shame and struggled with our sense of worth in our lives. Now, we’re on the path to reconnecting with our true selves and finding “our people” .
Dr. Kelly Flanagan joins us on The Mentee Podcast as we talk about the journey of finding our sense of worthiness and reconnecting with our true selves. How can we share our true selves with our treasured relationships? What does it feel like to feel worthy?
We answer these questions and more in this episode so join us in our conversation about worthiness!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Shame and ego are part of the journey
- Be wise in your vulnerability
- Find people on the same path
- Worthiness isn’t equal to your bank account
- Feel worthy. It’s time to play and have fun!
Episode Highlights:
[11:45] Losing and Finding Our Sense of Worth
As we live our lives, we go through steps of losing our original sense of worth, building a false self, and finally reconnecting with our true self and sense of worth. As we find our true selves, we share this vulnerable moment with the people who celebrate our worth with us.
[15:20] Wise Vulnerability
Rediscovering your sense of worth can lead to change. It’s necessary to explain and share this with others. Be wise in your vulnerability. Think about who and how you’ll share your true self .
[22:42] Worthy, New Relationships
As we go through the cyclical process of discovering worthiness, we want to find people on the same journey. These kinds of people are happy to have a conversation about their experiences and realizations in their lives.
[26:11] Success in Worthiness
Discovering our sense of worth doesn’t mean not being interested in money. Career success can even end up flourishing. The difference is that as we embrace our true selves, we identify less and less with how much money we have or the possessions we own.
[27:55] A Time to Play
Regaining your worthiness is like reexperiencing a sense of child-likeness. There are no more games and competitions but there is fun and play. We uncover the joy that exists naturally within us.
Developing an ego and a false self is important in our journey. It’s what can help us reconnect with our true selves. Let’s take the time for contemplation to stop doing and start observing who we really are.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[16:41] “If there's a hallmark of truly having re-embraced your sense of worthiness, it is seeing the worthiness of everybody else.”
[19:41] “Without that moment of vulnerability, we really don't get clarity about the people we belong with.”
[26:38] “Your career success can blossom once you've embraced your true self.”
[29:53] “There's nothing to prove. The game's over.”

Are you ready for success? Of course you are—who isn’t?
But getting to the top takes more than just ambition. Becoming successful won’t happen overnight. In this episode, I’ll be talking about what it really takes to become successful, touch on important principles and habits, and discuss valuable elements required to ascend the ladder of success.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Know what success looks like to you
- Follow a model
- Move out of your comfort zone
- Determine successful habits
- Find your people
Episode Highlights:
[2:31] Defining Success
Success is getting what you want. So before you can be successful, you must know what you truly want. For you to be successful at the end of 2023, what has to happen?
[6:08] Getting Clear on Your Success
Connections are critical to your success. What is it about the best version of yourself that’s important to you? Why is it important to your family? Your community?
When you play small, other people are being left behind because you might be part of the five people they spend the most time with. So when you are unclear about what success looks like to you, other people will suffer from that.
[8:53] The Hack to Success
Find a model. It’s not easy to stay the course. Most people perform at only 10% of their potential. Your 10% is your comfort zone, and the 90% is your discomfort. Grow your 10%.
[11:49] The Secret to Being Elite
Do you want to be average or elite? Average is not bad. What’s important is knowing what you want and setting goals aligned with that, even if you’re not aiming to be elite.
But if you want to become elite, you must cross the line of productive discomfort. What habits and activities do you need to do daily to become successful? The people you spend the most time with and your physical environment will influence your behavior and goals.
[20:05] The Power of Finding the Right People
Words create worlds. Conversations with the right people will give birth to fresh ideas. Growing into the conversations around you accelerates progress. Find your tribe.
[23:12] Reflecting on Goals
What are two areas in your life that if you succeed there, it would make wins in other areas easier? What activities and behaviors do you need to achieve success in those two areas?
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[6:30] “Connection with other people is critical to your success.”
[10:51] “If you want a bigger life, you have to grow your 10%.”
[16:16] “Change is the gap. You are what you do.”

Are you tired of feeling like life is passing you by? Do you want to start living a good life this year, but don’t know how or where to even begin?
It can feel daunting and overwhelming when trying to undertake a massive lifestyle change. The truth is that beginning your journey towards creating the good life is within your reach. In this episode, we’ll be talking about what the good life means and how you can start achieving your goals today.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Focus on the gain
- Dream big and act small
- Clarify your desired future self
- Determine your good life
- Find the right people
Episode Highlights:
[6:55] Moving Past the Mind Chatter
Looking back on 2022, I can see tremendous progress. But even with all the wins and growth, the “mind chatter” is still there.
Following a model while working toward your goals feels unnatural. That might make you feel like you’re losing. But in reality, you’re winning slowly. Focus on the gain. Move past the mind chatter toward your goals. See how you’re winning slowly.
[12:08] What to Expect in 2023
In 2023, we at The Mentee will help you to: Dream big and act small. Practice stacking up your habits. Connect with guests and communities that will help and inspire you to level up your life. Strengthen your relationship with your goals. Gain clarity around your desired future self, be inspired to take action, and access the necessary resources.
[15:15] Start Living Your Good Life
The good life is simply the life you desire. Though it may look different for different people, here are some commonalities:
- Financial freedom
- Time freedom
- Location freedom
- Solid relationships
You don’t have to wait a year or more to live your good life. You can start now. Just taking the step toward your good life is already living it.
[23:50] Knowing Your Goals
You don’t know what you want; you only want what you know. Stepping outside your comfort zone will expose you to more choices. Surround yourself with people who are living intentionally. Choose the right community.
[31:12] Exploring Options
Here are some options to help you start living your good life now:
- The Mentee Podcast to learn from mentors’ journeys.
- The Mentorship Mastermind Community to connect with mentors and the right group of people to accelerate your results and make resources accessible.
- The Elite Membership Package to access the online community, the course, and live interactive mastermind calls every two weeks.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[22:15] “Confidence comes after success.”
[26:34] “You don’t know what you want; you only want what you know.”
[40:39] “When you start living a bigger life, so do the people around you.”

Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott
You might have an idea of what you want your life to be, but do you have a roadmap to get there? Having a vision and setting goals are your first two steps to getting started. With the right mentors, a plan in place, and dedication and hard work, you can reach your goals and make your vision come to life.
In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, I interview Matt Buck about how he turned his life around — from being an 'aimless' kid to working with an established real estate persona. He also shares how having the right mentor helped put him in the right direction for success.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- The key is to know what you want.
- Leverage your experiences, and think about how you can use them to grow and develop.
- Have a vivid vision and main goal. Work backward from there.
- Nail down your goals and follow through.
- Have a personal brand that reflects your morals and beliefs.
Episode Highlights:
[03:14] The Importance of Knowing What You Want
Clarify and refine your goals by exposing yourself to new options, opportunities, and conversations. Find mentors living the life that you want. For Matt, this person is his mentor and boss, Brandon Turner.
[21:01] Matt’s Goal-Setting Process
Matt intentionally sets aside time during the weekend to reflect. He often goes to serene places like a beach or a camp in Maui. Then, he finds a medium and avoids distractions from apps. Matt's goal-setting process starts with a larger vision and works backward from there.
[26:45] Level Up Your Game
Think about and write down your goals, then plan how you'll get there. It is one thing to have a vision and mind and another to nail it down. Find a workplace that can help you accomplish those goals. Matt recommends leveraging the proximity effect — work with and learn from people established in your target industry.
[39:23] Matt’s Top Tips for Finding a Marketing Intern
Have a personal brand that reflects your morals and beliefs. Sell the vision of the long run, and make sure to follow through on your goals. People sign up for where you're going. Once you have a marketing candidate, make sure to allow them room for growth. Have a basis of trust.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[03:14] “The hack on getting everything you want in life is one, to figure out what it is you want.”
[03:52] “Find mentors who are already living the life that you want.”
[52:47] “[A] personal brand doesn't have to be hundreds [or] 1000s of followers on Instagram. It's just more of, you know, who people say you are when [you’re] not in the room, your reputation, and the direction you're going.”

The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan
There are two important aspects of living a fulfilling life: taking care of yourself and being kind. Do not let the negativities of life bring you down. Be your own advocate and pay the goodness forward by being an advocate for others. Even the smallest of acts can make a big difference in someone’s life.
In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, I interview the voice behind Scooby Doo, Scott Innes, about how he pushed through life and achieved all his goals. He also shares the value of kindness and his now-life mission of paying goodness forward.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- People are stewards of goodwill.
- Do not live in the past. Instead, imagine the future.
- Be kind. You can be the answer or the cure to someone’s life.
- Learn to sell yourself.
Episode Highlights:
[09:23] Scott’s Trophy Story
Scott shares that he has a trophy superglued in his house. It was an award he won as a child that was destroyed to pieces after an incident with his mother. His stepfather fixed the trophy and the act has been a consistent reminder that people are stewards of goodwill.
[11:56] Reaching Untapped Potential
It is easier to remember the past than it is to imagine the future. People often show up daily living from their past. This keeps them from tapping their potential for wholeness. Scott likes to go where people say he can’t.
[23:49] Scott’s Three Life Goals
Scott shares that he had three major goals: to write a song for Kenny Rogers, to win a CMA award, and to become the voice of Scooby Doo. He was able to achieve all of these goals despite people telling him he could not.
[24:47] A Mission to Pay It Forward
Scott has had a lot of serendipitous moments in his life that inspired him to pay the goodness forward. He knows that he is imperfect and he has regretted a lot of life decisions. But this does not stop him from continuously doing good things for people -- even the people he doesn’t know. You could be the answer to someone’s cure for their life.
[28:04] Selling & Believing in Yourself
People have so much talent, but some are just too afraid to speak up. You will struggle if you don’t believe in yourself. Remember, you control your destiny. Scott has been a firm believer in believing in oneself, keeping one’s feet on the ground, and reaching for the stars. Control your destiny. Learn to sell yourself.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[10:43] “We, as people, are stewards of goodwill.”
[25:57] “You, today, could be the answer to someone's cure in their life.”
[28:51] You got to sell yourself. If you believe in your goods, you got to do it.

Real estate investment is one of the most tried and tested ways to build passive income. It presents many opportunities to generate wealth and value, but it also requires courage. Having a mentor to guide you significantly boosts your chances of success.
In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Jan Wanot shares his real estate investment journey and how it improved his quality of life. He also describes the joy of partnering with people who would invest as he does.
What's the right mindset for investing in real estate, and what makes a tempting deal? Tune in to the episode to learn all about it!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Investing in real estate takes courage.
- Look for mentors and investment partners to succeed.
- Carefully weigh the gains and risks of any business venture.
- Grow your portfolio.
Episode Highlights:
[05:03] The Beginning of Jan’s Real Estate Investment Story
When Jan left college, he worked and saved around $20,000 annually. He realized he needed to do more to grow financially. After two failed businesses, Jan bought a house and rented it out. When it generated profit, he searched for partners that would invest with him in more real estate properties.
[16:29] The Importance of Partnership and Positive Mindset
The fear of failure did not stop Jan. Real estate investment requires courage to face risks. Jan found courage in the partners and mentors he had alongside him.
[21:29] Jan’s Mentorship Programme
Jan started a Facebook group called WA Real Estate Investing. This group became his platform for sharing investment insights. He launches a masterclass biannually where young investors can access mentorship, resources, and tools.
[27:58] A Look Into Jan’s Current Investment Portfolio
Currently, Jan has 224 real estate investment units operating through investment partnerships — and not a single one is owned by him alone. Most are mobile homes, but there are a few luxury homes and mid-graded multi-family homes.
[33:22] What Makes an Attractive Investment Deal
For Jan, an attractive investment deal should have significant returns within five years. Moreover, he had to be excited about the likely case while capable of living out the worst case. Jan also prefers to do less operational work if possible.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[13:16] “If you wanna go fast, go alone. If you wanna go far, go together.”
[39:09] “I have to be happy with the likely case, and then I have to be able to live, and my capital partners have to be able to live, with the worst case.”
[52:47] “There’s always bigger fish in the pond.”

The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham
People often think of real estate investing as buying and flipping houses or renting apartments. But there’s another option that can be just as lucrative: mobile home parks.
Derek Vickers joins me to talk about mobile home park investing. Investing in mobile home parks probably never even crossed your mind. But believe it or not, investing in mobile home parks could be a great way to build your portfolio and create passive income.
Tune in to the episode to find out how to start investing in mobile home parks!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Search for trailer parks
- Provide affordable housing
- Look out for rent growth
- Underwrite conservatively
- Invest in capital improvements
Episode Highlights:
[05:33] Getting Into Trailer Park Investing
There are many benefits to investing in mobile home parks. Tenants tend to stay for good, and the expense ratio is lower than the standard multifamily. Here are some steps to get started: 1.) Find a list of mobile home parks. 2.) Drive out and talk to the owners. 3.) Search for deals and sellers.
[16:56] The Future of Vacant Lots
If you’re doing the infill yourself, it’s possible but hard. The demand for vacant lots will go up, but there’s also heavy demand for affordable housing. Consider bringing in homes or trailers.
[20:04] Offloading Mobile Homes
Some ways to offload mobile homes to tenants include 1.) Selling parking homes in complete disrepair for cheaper cost and giving free lot rent so they can fix the home. 2.) Investors coming in to fix up the house and sell it to an incoming tenant.
Look at the markets and find where there will be constant rent growth. Signs of rent growth are a lack of affordable housing and an influx of people moving into the area.
[27:38] Underwriting Deals
Underwrite in the deal for project management at cost, then live off the profit after management. Be conservative in underwriting, so you don’t underestimate the expenses.
[45:06] Financing Tips
They often work together with the local community and regional banks. Know the costs for rehabbing a park, then re-appraise the property. Don’t go cheap on capital improvements.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[11:22] “What better way to learn the business than jump in headfirst?”
[38:06] “We're paying them really, really well above what market would pay for this position because we want skill. We want reliability, and people that we don’t have to handhold, and people that can solve problems on their own, and make good decisions for the company.”
[48:29] “We would rather distribute the money and have more than have to come back to our investors and have to do a capital call.”

Finding Financial Freedom in Real Estate Investing with Brandon Turner

Rent Manager
We live in a world that glamorizes the grind and the hustle. But is it really fulfilling to spend the rest of your life just blindly paying off bills? Yes, you have to work hard. But you have to work smarter. It’s not impossible, and you’re never too young to achieve financial freedom.
Matthew Amabile, real estate investor and founder of Amabile Investments, joins me to talk about how to attain financial freedom. What are the secrets to reaching financial freedom in just two years?
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Increase your income while decreasing your expenses
- Follow the four-unit hack
- Build relationships with partners and investors
- Buy properties and refinance
Episode Highlights:
[04:31] Goal of Financial Freedom
The idea is to make a certain amount of money a month and keep your expenses low to do whatever you want. Matt earns $7,000 a month in passive income from rental properties. From this, he only spends around $3,000 a month.
[08:28] Four-Unit House Hack
Matt bought a condemned fourplex building and renovated it into a rental property. He went with an FHA 203k loan with renovation and acquisition costs factored in. It remains his best-performing property, with a value of $400,000 and a monthly gross rent of $4,800.
[17:06] The Real Estate Passive Income Formula
The main formula is to increase how much you’re saving. The two ways to do this are to increase your income or decrease your expenses.
[21:41] Partnership Structure
Find someone who doesn't need cash flow. The two of you will each bring 50% of the cash to close. In that way, you can bring twice as many properties while still getting 100% of the cash flow.
[26:21] Sourcing Deals
Matt is now transitioning over to building out a sales team. The 70% ARV rule works well for him, but he’s looking for deals where he could buy and refinance right away.
Notable Quotes:
[16:16] “I just had a number in mind. I was like 5000—I just need to create $5,000 somehow.”
[21:05] “There's two sides to real estate. There's literally only two. There's the deal and then there's the money; you find the deal, you can find the money.”
[32:58] “You don't have to work the next 40 years of your life. You can go create some income for yourself.”

Many people might believe that being a millionaire is out of reach. But becoming a millionaire is not a matter of luck or chance. It takes hard work, discipline, and planning.
David Vernich, a commercial lender and passive income coach, joins me to talk about how you can elevate your real estate investments and achieve financial freedom. With his strategies and tips, you can start your journey from middle class to millionaire and learn how to break free from the chains that are holding you back.
Tune in to the episode to make your journey to millionaire status a reality!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Try alternative investments
- Find the right mentor
- Use credit to buy assets
- Add more to your 401(k)
- Accumulate your inventory
Episode Highlights:
[08:30] Living Financially Free
You don’t need to retire to enjoy a life of leisure. People need the challenge of work, solving problems, and giving back to others. Passive income creates more financial freedom now.
[12:36] Exploring Alternative Investments
People have a lot of fear about alternative investments. But there are many ways to mitigate risks. The biggest risk in real estate is overpaying for a property. But if you know what you’re doing and buy properly, then you can reduce the risk and make a profit.
[21:52] Finding the Right Mentor
Use connections to find the right mentor. Having a mentor helps avoid making costly mistakes and becoming financially devastated. However, you don’t need to stop putting money into your 401(k); you just need to add more to it.
[26:10] Starting Your Real Estate Empire
Start with an unsecured line of credit. Offer opportunities to other people in the same boat. A person’s credit is an asset, so use it to buy assets that produce more income than debt cost.
[41:52] Investing in the Current Market
Banks lend money based on your income but secure it with the asset. Take a line of credit out. Leave a bit of money on the house and aim for 10% or less.
[45:50] Looking to the Future
David predicts a softening of the market in 2023 because of rates. Wait and do market timing. Being patient and accumulating inventory allows you to be in a good position in the market.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[06:49] “It’s more of an exception than a rule to find somebody that’s actually on track to be able to retire with the same standard of living that they have right now.”
[18:51] “I need mentors every day, still to this day.”
[29:35] “A person’s credit is an asset if it’s used properly.”

We empower ourselves as we strive for growth and connection when there is psychological safety at work, home, and in your community.
Teresa Mitrovic, a psychological safety coach, joins me in a conversation about why feeling safe is important in our lives. Whether it’s in our workplace or at home, how can you create a safe space built on trust? What can you do to encourage connection in your community?
Tune in to this episode and listen to understand how you can bring psychological safety into your life.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Encourage connection rather than self-protection
- The right people can support and empower you
- Be present and be aware
- Remove fear and build trust in your connections
Episode Highlights:
[09:29] Defining Psychological Safety
Psychological safety is when we feel safe at a cognitive and emotional level. When we remove fear, we remove the friction, doubt, and uncertainty it can create. This safety foundation creates a space that allows you to speak up and be vulnerable.
[16:37] The Connection Within the Collective
Without psychological safety, the wrong people can inhibit your growth. You need support from true connections and a dynamic where we got each others’ backs. Here in our mastermind community, we work to leverage each other’s strengths and unlock collective wisdom.
[34:58] Psychological Safety in all Relationships
First, be present and pay attention to the conversation. Only then can we be aware of what their spoken and unspoken words are telling us. Strive to listen with the goal of understanding each other to create a space where we can both be honest and connect with each other.
[41:45] Safety for Each of Us
Psychological safety can be different for each person, shaped by our life experiences. We have the responsibility to create a psychologically safe environment. Break the cycle of hurt.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[10:21] “Psychological safety at its heart is really just about making sure that we feel safe and secure, mentally and emotionally.“
[18:14] “You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to be surrounded by great people who have different perspectives.”
[32:43] “If we can't imagine a future for ourselves and it's different from what it is today, then we're never going to get there.”

What do wealthy and successful people have in common? Mastering the art of organization and efficiency. Processes are a key ingredient to their success. If you want to join their ranks, then you need to start optimizing your own processes. Don’t worry—it’s not as daunting as it sounds!
Simon Severino, the author of Strategy Sprints, joins me to talk about optimizing your processes and accelerating growth to create an agile, successful business.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
- Optimize your processes
- Be agile
- Offer people what they need
- Use emails for sales
- Go on a vacation
Episode Highlights:
[04:26] The Importance of Processes
The first years of running a business aren’t fun. You want to have zero people risk, and you can do that by creating great processes. Break down your processes with these steps: Find out what’s working and what’s not. Map out what’s working and create the core valuation process. Pick one to turn into the flagship offer. Optimize it every week.
[09:02] Strategy Sprints Method
The Strategy Sprints method aims to double your revenue in 90 days by simplifying what you do and scaling what’s working. It entails mapping your current value creation system and improving the sales in each of those elements.
[11:04] Being Agile
Agility means being able to change as quickly as the market is changing. Offer people what they need. Send out emails multiple times a week. Aim for an open rate of 45% and a 3% click rate.
Social media is a marketing instrument, so use it only for awareness. Warm emails, cold emails, and cold calling are the best tools to use for sales.
[27:10] Optimizing Sales Funnels
Do you have multiple sales funnels? Pick one problem of one customer segment, then start optimizing a sales machine for 90 days. When you get 50% conversion rates and consistent cash flow, you can stack a second problem or additional offer.
[33:48] Why You Need a Vacation
Vacations can be used to see how well your systems and processes are running when left on their own. Are they self-correcting and self-adapting mechanisms? Or are they dependent on you? If it’s the latter, then it’s not scalable.
[33:48] How to Optimize Processes
Pick one offer and optimize it for the next 90 days. Follow these steps: describe the three main pain points, figure out the main problem, create an offer, map out how to get them interested and engaged, put together an email list and communicate consistently.
Notable quotes from the Episode:
[05:37] “You cannot do 50k, 60k, 100k per month by doing the same things. So we have to help you write down what you’re doing. Systemize it.”
[13:49] “Offer the people that you are here to serve the one thing that they need.”
[26:02] “Sales is commercial teaching.”

There's a lot of buzz about real estate investing, and we get it. It is the quickest and safest way to financial independence. However, not everyone succeeds in this venture because they lack the right people, systems, and vision. In this episode of The Mentee podcast, I invited Brandon Turner — a real estate broker, author, and speaker — to discuss investing in real estate. He talked about the fundamentals of starting a business, finding the right talent, identifying the critical factors in achieving massive growth, and much more! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Stop living in the past Find the right people, systems, and vision Establish your reputation Only hire people who earn their spot Properties are businesses
Episode Highlights: [07:05] Nobody Knows Everything Nobody knows everything about the changing market, but you can prepare ahead of time. There are multiple sources available today that can help you in planning. [13:07] Hire From the Top Down Most people start their businesses from the ground up but doing that is time-consuming. Instead, hire from the top down. Find the right people, systems, and vision to achieve monumental growth. [22:39] Hire People Who Deserve the Position On paper, some people appear to be excellent hires. However, it’s prudent to consider employing people who have earned the position. In Brandon's company, they adopted the practice of offering unpaid internships to find stellar talents. [43:51] Buy Businesses Buying land means purchasing a business. It’s the value of the land that appreciates, not the infrastructure. Notable quotes from the Episode: [08:32] “You can say this is what's going to happen, and then you'll be wrong. But it's the act of saying this is what I think is going to happen and then doing that every single day that helps.” [15:38] “Sometimes when you assemble the right team, you don't hit your goal, you far exceed your goal because the right people with the right systems and the right vision—that's where you get just monumental growth.” [22:53] “The biggest lesson from that whole thing was that you never know how somebody is going to be until you actually work with them.” Resources Mentioned: Connect with Wyatt Graves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ (LinkedIn) | https://wyattgraves.com/ (Website) The Mentee Podcast: https://thementee.com/podcast/ (Website) | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 (Apple) | https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 (Spotify) Connect with Brandon Turner: https://www.instagram.com/beardybrandon/ (Instagram) | https://www.facebook.com/Hephestus85 (Facebook )| https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-turner-1b96b6209/ (LinkedIn) | https://twitter.com/Beardy_BT (Twitter )| https://linktr.ee/beardybrandon (Linktr.ee) | https://www.beardybrandon.com/ (Website) https://www.biggerpockets.com/ (BiggerPockets) https://www.mybodytutor.com/ (MyBodyTutor) https://www.instagram.com/thedatadeli/?hl=en (TheDataDeli) https://cameronherold.com/vivid-vision/ (Vivid Vision) https://odcfund.com/ (Open Door Capital)

Speeding up the results is always a tempting offer. However, speed often creates drag in our lives. The more we rush things, the more we drag the process down. This is a simple principle of aerodynamics. So in this episode of The Mentee Podcast, I invited Nick McLean, a real estate broker and trained airline pilot, to talk about this. He shares the importance of slowing down, committing to your routine, and trusting the process. Reduce drag in your life and reach your life’s maximum potential. Does this sound like something you need to learn? Tune in to this episode, and start getting rid of the drag impeding your life! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Stick to your routine. Eliminate the drag in life. Do not be ashamed of what you do. Push on despite impediments.
Episode Highlights: [03:24] Nick’s Writing Regimen For Nick, writing his thoughts is an essential routine. Every day, he writes about his learnings and ideas, whether it’s about real estate, aerodynamics, or life. Then, he shares them through blogs, social media, and emails. It’s a productive routine, but it takes determination and some contingencies to stick to it. [15:15] How to Eliminate the Drags in Life People always like to speed up the process. However, the principle of aerodynamics teaches this: speed creates drag. Speed is oftentimes not sustainable, and this applies to many different pursuits in life. Writing improves with practice over time. Real estate investments take time to compound. Trust the process and slow down. [28:15] Transitioning to Real Estate Getting into real estate was not a quick decision for Nick. There was a lot of back-and-forths – a lot of drag. He did not want to acknowledge the salesperson in him, and a lot of people don’t. But once he did, he was able to eliminate a lot of drag from his life. There’s no shame in acknowledging what you do. [36:12] Pushing On Despite Impediments During the market recession in 2012, many real estate agents quit. However, those who remained and persisted were able to benefit eventually from the lesser competition. When you push on despite the impediments, the benefits compound over time. Notable quotes from the Episode: [16:10] “As you’re creating speed, you’re also creating drag.” [27:36] “Leaders are really good at pointing out problems and telling people they did it wrong. They need to be better at finding how to make it easier for them.” [41:13] “Survival equals growth in the midst of a recession.” Resources Mentioned: Connect with Wyatt Graves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ (LinkedIn) | https://wyattgraves.com/ (Website) The Mentee Podcast: https://thementee.com/podcast/ (Website) | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 (Apple) | https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 (Spotify) Connect with Nick McLean: https://www.nickmcleanrealestate.com/ (Website) | https://www.facebook.com/nickmcleanrealestategroup/ (Facebook) | Email https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Money-Timeless-lessons-happiness/dp/0857197681 (The Psychology of Money by Morgan House)

It aims to help you determine where you need help and provide the mentorship you need to help level-up your life. [05:33] Reframe Your Impostor Syndrome Do you have impostor syndrome? Great! It means you are evolving and taking action as your desired future self. When you have a clear picture of your desired future self, you will start to become that person. It's supposed to be uncomfortable — you are stepping out of your current identity.

The program will use a three-pronged approach: Help people find clarity around their future selves. Bring inspiration to take action.

And once valuable, success will come looking for them.’” [06:43] “[Impostor syndrome] means you're doing and being who you need to be and what you need to do so that you might have what your desired future self desires.” [11:19] “Our Mentorship Mastermind Community is designed to bring mentors into your world through the podcast, through the membership-based community so that you can start to evolve and become your future self.” Resources Mentioned: Connect with Wyatt Graves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ (LinkedIn) | https://wyattgraves.com/ (Website) The Mentee Podcast: https://thementee.com/podcast/ (Website) | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 (Apple) | https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 (Spotify) https://thementee.com/the-inner-circle/ (The Inner Circle)
What's the secret ingredient that ensures you get a conversation with a client going? Your business needs leads to thrive, scale, and profit. There are many ways to send out leads, but optimization is the name of the game. Ryan Corcoran, a medical-professional-turned-real-estate-investor, joins me to discuss real estate. We uncover what you need to know to follow up on leads, optimize your data lists, and the secret method that practically ensures that people respond to your letters. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How to get responses by sending letters What to do to perfect your mailing Differentiate good property management from mediocre Understand how to optimize your data lists
Episode Highlights: [05:13] Ryan’s Background Ryan's owns over 200 multifamily units. He also has an online course he created after realizing he was spending too much time answering questions. Ryan started at 21 and grew the units he owned from 0 to 240 in seven years. [11:47] How Ryan Buys Properties Ryan buys from direct mail marketing, which nets him up to a 50% discount. He then raises the down payment from private money investors, which earns him 8-10% in interest payments over 12-18 months as he rehabs the property. [14:40] Management and Operations Property management is an endless battle as you scale. He also told me that you can tell a good property manager from a mediocre one by the quality of their work as they manage more properties. [16:31] Ryan on Direct-to-Seller Marketing The open rate of envelopes goes up tremendously when handwritten, and Ryan tells me every letter he sends is handwritten. He super personalizes everything — something we can all learn! Research is critical so that you connect with the same person every time you send letters. Writing letters costs money, so it's vital to not sink money into nothing. [24:37] Building Mailing Lists Ryan pulls lists and figures out what works. He also uses different tools depending on what he intends to do, and the type of land he’s aiming for. Notable quotes from the Episode: [15:16] “The problem is when you get that large — and you know, this is really how you tell a really good property manager from a not so great one — the quality starts to drop.” [17:40] “So everything has been handwritten ever since I started because I always thought that if I'm going to send a letter to somebody, and it looks like it's a piece of mail that everybody else received, why the hell would I? I wouldn’t open it. I throw out those things all the time.” [32:30] “Money's not everything, but it makes life a whole hell of a lot easier.” Resources Mentioned: https://www.propstream.com/ (PropStream) https://www.listsource.com/ (ListSource) https://www.costar.com/ (CoStar) Connect with Ryan Corcoran: https://www.instagram.com/rjcorcoran08/ (Instagram) | https://www.tiktok.com/@rjcorcoran08 (TikTok) | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfiMBodAHt4-UFHHYeF3EKw (YouTube) Connect with Wyatt Graves:https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ ( LinkedIn) |https://wyattgraves.com/ ( Website) The Mentee Podcast:https://thementee.com/podcast/ ( Website) |https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 ( Apple) |https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 ( Spotify)
So many of us keep on chasing success. We scramble frantically and hustle hard just so we can get a taste of financial freedom. But the more you chase success, the more it could elude you. Success is not something to be pursued; it’s something you attract. Diego Corzo, a realtor at Keller Williams Realty, joins me to talk about his journey to becoming a millionaire. I personally think you would tremendously benefit from the lessons he learned—from experience and mentors alike—on how to build wealth and achieve financial freedom. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Learn how to manage wealth Build passive income through real estate Determine your superpower Find and leverage market opportunities
Episode Highlights: [12:19] Achieving Success Success is something you attract by the person you become. Before you become successful, you must first become someone who knows how to handle wealth. [16:58] Diego’s Mastermind Rat Race to FI helps people achieve financial freedom. What they do is walk them through the amount of cash flow they need to do what they truly want. Then, they teach them how to build passive income through real estate investing. [26:35] Finding Your Superpower Find your unfair advantage. Then, partner with someone with a different unfair advantage that can help you. Your unfair advantage in real estate can be time, knowledge, expertise, or money. [29:35] What the Future Holds Diego told me that wants to keep growing his brand and collaborate with other people. Collaboration allows him to reach and connect with more people. He also wants to build his team and automate their systems. Find opportunities through off-market deals. You could also consider dealing with foreclosure properties. Know how to negotiate the right deals. Finally, get lines of credit to leverage equity. [40:52] The Keys to the Vault Remember the six keys to becoming the person who achieves financial freedom: managing your personal finances, scheduling personal development, understanding the power of your peer group, setting goals with accountability, building a money machine, and investing in passive income. Notable quotes from the Episode: [08:34] “Knowing that I started from zero, the only way is up.” [17:28] “A lot of people feel like they’re stuck in their job or whatever they’re doing and they have to do it. But there’s a difference if you go from having to do something to you having the opportunity to do it.” [45:53] “Work on the internal part first because life outside is hard, but you have to take responsibility no matter what your circumstances are.” Resources Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dad-Poor-Teach-Middle/dp/1612680194 (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) by Robert Kiyosaki https://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Landmark-Bestseller/dp/1585424331 (Think and Grow Rich) by Napoleon Hill https://www.kw.com/ (Keller Williams) Connect with Diego Corzo:https://www.linkedin.com/in/diegocorzo ( LinkedIn) |https://diegocorzo.com/ ( Website) Connect with Wyatt Graves:https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ ( LinkedIn) |https://wyattgraves.com/ ( Website) The Mentee Podcast:https://thementee.com/podcast/ ( Website) |https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 ( Apple) |https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 ( Spotify)
We shouldn’t avoid open conversations about money. Conversations create options—the more options we have, the more open doors there are to a fulfilling wealthy life. Aaron Velky, CEO of Money Club joins me to talk about how you can grow your potential when it comes to money and create whole-life wealth. Could you possibly do more with your current income? How can you become wiser and more responsible with money? Tune in to the episode to change your life for the better and learn powerful money hacks! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Set aside money Overcome the fear of firsts Build your credit Design your future self
Episode Highlights: [11:20] The Four Wisdoms to Creating Whole-Life Wealth Whole-life wealth refers to wealth as something that allows you to live your version of the good life. The four pieces of Aaron’s wealth creation formula are: a) Investable income, b) Accumulation of assets, c) Leverage, and d) Time. [18:32] Automate Your Savings Pennies make dollars. No matter how much you are earning, always set aside a part of it. Make a separate savings account or use a good savings app. You can automate that “little” to be something greater for later. [25:10] Begin Before You Win Ask yourself: what is the lowest barrier to entry? Just enter the game. Begin before you try to win. Winning comes later. Once you learn how it works, you can aim bigger. [32:01] Build Your Credit Credit creates leverage. It opens doors of opportunities since it establishes that you can be trusted with those opportunities. When you build credit, you expand the limits of your financial reach. Don’t be afraid to use your credit card. [39:15] Design Your Future Learn to build a balance between the now and the later. The time equation to whole-life wealth is all about making trades between the present and the future. Be intentional in designing a better quality of life for yourself. Notable quotes from the Episode: [13:31] “The fear of first is usually really tall, and the fear of first is what keeps us from the second.” [39:29] “Your choices today, one way or another, have a ripple effect into the future.” [46:46] “Think of your money out like a river, a flow. Where you point that river changes what rewards you get.” Resources Mentioned: Connect with Wyatt Graves: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyattgraves/ (LinkedIn) | https://wyattgraves.com/ (Website) The Mentee Podcast: https://thementee.com/podcast/ (Website) | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mentee-podcast/id957438503 (Apple) | https://open.spotify.com/show/54f2lCwK07XLoMnu80Efj5 (Spotify) Connect with Aaron Velky: https://www.instagram.com/aaronvelky/ (Instagram) | https://www.facebook.com/asvelky (Facebook) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronvelky/ (LinkedIn) | https://aaronvelky.com/ (Website) Money Club: https://www.wearemoneyclub.com/ (Website) | https://www.instagram.com/wearemoneyclub/ (Instagram) | https://www.facebook.com/WeAreMoneyClub/ (Facebook) | https://twitter.com/wearemoneyclub (Twitter) https://www.gobundance.com/membership (GoBundance Membership) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/budget-with-back-in-black/id445142741 (Black Savings App)
We all have a future self that we are working towards. Whether it’s becoming more successful or happier, we all have an ideal vision of who we want to be. But many never take the steps necessary to make this future self a reality. We get bogged down in daily struggles and forget to focus on what we want for ourselves in the long run. In this relaunched episode, organizational psychologist and author Benjamin Hardy joined me to talk about how you can create the life you want by knowing your future self. Once you know your future self, you can start taking small steps each day toward making those dreams come true! You’ll be surprised at how quickly things will fall into place once you get started. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Know your future self Be courageous Develop emotional flexibility Let your purpose shape your personality Invest in your future self
Episode Highlights: [03:27] Know Your Future Self Who’s the person you want to be? Once you know your future self, you can begin to take intentional action. Build an environment around you to create that future self. Knowing your future self gives life meaning and purpose. Invest money in your future self. [09:42] Being Courageous Courage is the doorway to change. It may not feel great at the moment, but it fuels you. Start living on purpose. Having a good present means actively working towards a meaningful future. [12:14] Developing Emotional Flexibility Practice emotional flexibility to help you handle tough situations. Any negative emotional event can lead to trauma. Trauma shatters your future and ties you to your past. Learn to reframe your emotions. Step out of your comfort zone. [20:16] Purpose vs. Personality Don’t overly define your current self. Decide what you truly want. Let your purpose shape your personality. The goal determines your process. [25:03] How to Stay Motivated Journal about your future self. Tell people about your goals. Your input shapes your outlook, so find things that will inspire you. Commit to your goals. Invest in your future and create habits. [33:18] Setting Bigger and Better Goals There are three sources of goals: Exposure Desire Confidence
Your goals shape what you truly want for yourself. Expose yourself to new things. Find things you want to pursue. Determine what your future self would want. Lastly, build confidence. Notable quotes from the Episode: [09:46] “Courage is the doorway to change.” [22:39] “The goal determines your process.” [36:20] “What your future self wants is more important than what your current self wants.” Resources Mentioned: The Mentee Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s5e34-the-last-arrow-choosing-to-live-fully/id957438503?i=1000577631775 (Episode 34) https://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/080701429X (Man’s Search for Meaning) by Victor Frankl https://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Dilemma-Revolutionary-Change-Business/dp/0062060244 (The Innovator’s Dilemma) by Clayton Christensen https://www.amazon.com/How-Will-Measure-Your-Life/dp/0062102419 (How Will You Measure Your Life?) by Clayton Christensen https://www.amazon.com/Willpower-Doesnt-Work-Discover-Success/dp/0316441325 (Willpower Doesn’t Work) by Ben Hardy Connect with Ben: https://benjaminhardy.com/ (Website)
Being in the real estate business is not all sunshine and rainbows. Often, massive shifts in the market hit when we least expect it. But with the right mindset, knowledge, and innovation, it's possible to get back in the game stronger than ever. In this episode, Donnie Jarreau of Jarreau Real Estate joined me to talk about his journey of overcoming a market recession and onward to managing over $200 million worth of properties. Donnie and I will discuss how to guard your mindset during tough times and find leads beyond your market. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Understand why real estate is a numbers game Determine the mindset it takes to overcome a market collapse Find out the importance of knowing market trends Discover the secret behind thriving with a large portfolio
Episode Highlights: [07:05] Doing Real Estate Amidst a Market Collapse The more calls and leads you have, the more deals you’ll get. You need to understand the continuously changing market trends. Delve into the market and know the returns. You must know what to do with your assets in different situations. It’s also critical to have the right team and partnerships. [23:02] Guarding Your Mindset Stop worrying. If there’s something you’re worried about, what can you do about it? Don’t let your worries emotionally drain you. Be transparent and truthful. [34:42] Finding Leads Beyond Your Market It comes down to your portfolio. It’ll also come naturally when you’ve been in the industry for years. But the most important thing to look at is the location. Then, you’ll need an underwriting team and process set in place. It’s a combination of work, numbers, and reputation. [38:18] Managing Deals with a Large Portfolio It involves a lot of emails and phone calls. Asset management involves insurance and tax assessment. It’s beneficial to acquire long-tenant properties and hire third-party contractors. [42:18] The Power of Relationships and Passion in Real Estate Building relationships is fun. It’s also about being able to come to work and loving what you do. Age is irrelevant; it’s never too late or too early to get into the game. Notable quotes from the Episode: [10:00] “Real estate is a numbers game. The more time, more calls, more leads, the more you’re going to be dealt with. So where others were working 30-40 hours a week , I was working 50 to 60, 70.” [24:42] “Be transparent and truthful. They’ll take you so far” [43:06] “If you are called, money will take care of itself. Find your passion. Find something you can’t wait to get to work. And if that’s not happening, you need to seriously look around and go do something else.” Resources Mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Art-Deal-Donald-J/dp/0399594493 (Trump: The Art of the Deal) by Donald J.

Do you want to become the best version of yourself? To live the life you want, you have to brave through discomfort and take intentional action. You can change the trajectory of your future just by becoming 1% better than yesterday. In this episode, I will dive into the lessons and takeaways from the book The Last Arrow. I will also discuss choosing to live fully, finding clarity, and what it takes to be an elite. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Live fully and intentionally. Change your past and future. Know how to become an elite. Become 1% better than yesterday. Live the life you want.
Episode Highlights: [01:36] The 7 Categories of Setting Goals and Living Intentionally Are you where you want to be spiritually, physically, and according to your personal points of interest? How about in your key relationships, business, job, and finances? [03:40] Choosing to Live Fully You become a source of life for others when you choose to live fully into your God-given purpose and ultimate fulfilled life. Consequently, choosing to stay where you are could leave other people stranded. You can’t be somebody’s top five if you don’t take action. [07:58] Changing the Future I often think about the future as months or years from now. But even the next 8 hours is the future. If you want to change your past, change what you do in the next 8 hours. [09:22] Becoming an Elite Elites commit to taking action towards being the best version of themselves. Surround yourself with the right people, have the right conversations, and design the right environment. [11:14] Becoming 1% Better than Yesterday Change what you do over the next 8 hours. Do something that allows you to wake up tomorrow, knowing you did something to get 1% better. Then, make a habit of it. From there, you’ll become elite and live the life you’re seeking to live. Notable quotes from the Episode: [03:55] “When you choose to live fully, then you become a source of life for others.” [06:24] “If you don’t get clear on everything that could be, for your life, or you get clear but you don't take action, then you’re leaving the people who you would be part of their five—you’re leaving them stranded.” [08:48] "If you want to change your past, change what you do in the next 8 hours because come tomorrow, today will be your past. So if you want to change your past, change your future."

Lead generation is easier than ever with ads and marketing campaigns. But once you get leads, how many get converted into sales? If you’re spending too much on generating leads with no progress in conversion, it’s time to do something about it. In this episode of The Mentee, William Brown of TitanX shares how to elevate your sales funnel with AI. We’ll discuss the importance of knowing who to convert and how to apply the 80-20 rule to leads and revenue. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Know how AI can improve your sales funnel Use the 80-20 rule for sales conversions Find out where to establish a connection in your website Determine who’s worth converting
Episode Highlights: [11:19] The Power of AI Currently, AI is widely used to support social media by stealing our attention and selling it to advertisers. It’ll be more beneficial if people have their personalized AI. [15:10] The 80-20 Rule Lead generation doesn’t instantly translate into conversions. 20% of your leads will generate 80% of your revenue, so make sure you know who’s worth converting. If you want to know which lead can convert, consider the following through a live chat: Motivation Timeline Conditions Asking Price
[23:27] Improve Your Funnel Your ads and posts should consider a CTA that’s immediate. Consider an AI virtual assistant to create a live automated conversation with sellers. There are three points of contact on a website: Live chatbot Contact number Filling out a form
AI can be considered as an Acquisition Manager. It can prioritize potential conversions based on qualifications and schedule corresponding follow-ups. [32:54] Where AI Technology is Today Chatbots use a menu of choices and queries. OpenAI and GPT can converse more naturally. But these two options have their limitations. The former is limited to the number of choices, while the latter’s responses can’t be fully controlled. [37:35] Converting Leads Generating leads is easy, but conversion is hard. If you struggle to convert your leads, you must invest in services like CLAIRE to help you convert them. Notable quotes from the Episode: [20:05] “It was all about who we chose to spend time with, [and] following up with, because as you scale up, the amount of leads you want to do, they don't necessarily just convert into closed deals. You have to have somebody there to convert them. And that person…has to know who's most worth converting.” [34:22] “We're filling the gap in the market of the hybrid, where you give the consumer…the user fully natural, flexible conversations and you give the company transparency and control over what is said.” [37:44] “Generating the leads is easy, converting them is the hard part.” Resources Mentioned: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcasts/real-estate (Bigger Pockets Podcast) https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2014-07-03-bp-podcast-077-negotiating-way-1000-wholetail-deals-michael-quarles (Bigger Pockets Episode 77 with Michael Quarles) https://titanx.ai/ (TitanX) Connect with Will: Email I https://www.linkedin.com/in/-william-brown/ (LinkedIn)

Episode Highlights: [10:13] Acknowledge the Truth Acknowledge the truth that your life changes. Ask yourself: Where are you on your journey? Are you making money? Does your work still serve you? Do you look forward to it? Where do you want to go next?
[13:31] Strategic Quitting Quitting is scary. But there are ways to mitigate risks. Make sure safety nets are in place before you quit. Get your financing and credit in order. [19:15] Ask Failure Questions What would it look like if you failed? Reflect on whether you are already failing. Failing isn’t just about work; you should also look into other aspects of your life. [23:07] The Soul Suck Meter Scoring above a 6 in Pat and Tim’s Soul Suck Meter indicates the work is still a good fit for you. Here are a few indicators: Compensation Respect Fit for team and organization
[24:57] Build Your Quitting Team Your quitting team acts as your support as you change direction. Quitting and finding a new direction is about identity. Be clear on where you want to be so you can keep going towards it. Join a community of quitters and find a coach to gain clarity and support. [39:00] What’s Next for You? Think about your interest over obligation. Where are you spending most of your time? Notable quotes from the Episode: [13:31] “Quitting is scary for your brain. It's like standing at the edge of a steep cliff. That fear is the real thing keeping you stuck.” [29:11] “Identity is simply the story that you tell yourself…That's the story that you're telling yourself about your identity. The more you visit that statement, the more it becomes real, and then you’re able to take action towards that future.” [41:29] “What is my interest over obligation? Think about that. How much time do I spend every day on obligation versus interest?” Resources Mentioned: Connect with Pat: https://www.facebook.com/pathiban (Facebook) | https://www.instagram.com/rerockstars/ (Instagram) | https://twitter.com/re_rockstars (Twitter) Connect with Tim: https://www.timrhode.com/ (Website) https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/the-quitter-s-manifesto-quit-a-job-you-hate-for-the-work-you-love (The Quitter’s Manifesto) http://www.quitterclub.com (Lessons from a Quitter) https://hibandigital.com/ (Real Estate Rockstars Podcast) https://1lifefullylived.org/ (1Life Fully Lived) https://www.gobundance.com/membership (GoBundance Membership) https://www.amazon.com/Steps-Figures-Professionals-Building-Creating/dp/0998288209 (6 Steps to 7 Figures)
If there’s one thing business owners can agree on, it’s that we could all use a little more time in our days. You’re probably looking for ways to automate workflow and save time and money. Here at The Mentee Podcast, we know business owners wear many hats. Automation can help your business and give you back some precious minutes (or hours!) each day. In this episode, John Klingelhoets and I talk about robotic marketing and how it could help you obtain, farm, and convert leads. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Gather reliable data and leads. Follow your investment criteria carefully. Figure out how to try out a business idea. Make small pivots. Create and evolve your lists.
Episode Highlights: [11:32] How to Find More Deals Build your own lists to find more deals. You can access public datasets, comb through them, and narrow them down according to your niche. [14:13] Property Management Get information from the current owner. Factor in the property management. Then try looking at the actual dollars and considering the debt coverage ratio as well. [21:10] From Handwritten to Automation They tried to replicate what they were doing manually through automation. What’s important is to get people to open the envelopes. If you have a business idea, figure out a way to try it. You can see business success in small pivots. [26:06] Writing Your Letter A typewritten letter is recommended. Here are some guidelines: Use fonts that aren’t too small or too big. Keep it short. Start with an introduction, the purpose of the letter, then a call to action. Make it feel personal.
[29:26] Farming Your Leads Make sure your data is solid. Aim for 1000 to 1500 leads. Send mail at least every month. Keep evolving and mailing your list. And then look at the collective response rate in the long term. You can expect around a 1 to 2% response rate on your lists. Notable Quotes: [13:36] “We really just dove deep into the data and tried to just look at it in different ways. And the original source data, look at it in a little bit different ways that other people might not be.” [18:21] “If you’re going to have to get financing on it, you want to make sure that you’re going to smoothly go through that process and not have something that’s just teetering on the edge.” [22:50] “What we did is we tried to really take the process we were doing manually and replicate it in a way that we could do it faster for ourselves.” [41:25] “If you do send normal direct mail, you’re gonna get a horrible response rate. And what we found with robotic marketing is that when you send out a quality mail piece, you’re getting at a minimum of about a 1% response rate at an absolute minimum.” Resources Mentioned: John Klingelhoets: https://www.instagram.com/johnklingelhoets/ (Instagram) and Email Robot Ink Marketing: https://www.robotinkmarketing.com/ (Website) and https://www.instagram.com/robotinkmarketing/ (Instagram)
There's an old saying that goes, “Life is what you make it.” While clichés are often overused, this one has a lot of truth to it. The life you lead is up to you; no one else can make it for you. If you want to achieve success, you have to put in the hard work and dedication necessary to get there. Here at The Mentee Podcast, we want you to achieve your good life. It's not going to be easy, but it’ll be worth it in the end. In this episode, we’ll be relaunching the first two episodes of the Mentee Podcast. We’ll be looking back on the vision and goals of the podcast — and how we’ll help you create the good life that you want and deserve. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Surround yourself with the right people. Identify what you want. Have courage to take risks. Be intentional about your environment.
Episode Highlights: [06:39] Inheriting the Mentee Podcast Wyatt did not want to see The Mentee Podcast put on the shelf. And so, he reached out to Jeff Woods and asked if he could take over the podcast because he’s passionate about it. [08:20] Wyatt’s Journey He’s been an entrepreneur his whole life. For 20 years, he has been connecting with high level mentors who influenced his success. He wanted to help others live their good life. It wasn’t an easy journey. But having a community of mentors helped him to overcome struggles and attain success. [16:06] How Wyatt and Jim Met When Wyatt met Jeff in 2017, he was exposed to Jim Rohn’s quote, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Jeff had started the podcast to document his journey from employee to entrepreneur. When Wyatt heard that Jim Rohn quote, he decided to go all in and went to a goal setting retreat. Through that connection, Wyatt came to inherit The Mentee Podcast. [18:44] The Inner Circle Mastermind Community People struggle to find and connect with mentors. They discovered people want more coaching, increased access to mentors and opportunities to have conversations with them. That became the foundation of the Inner Circle Mastermind Community. [27:36] Sources of Goals Goals come from three sources. First is exposure to new knowledge, opportunities, and insights. Second is the desire to achieve them. Third is having the confidence to go do it.Confidence comes from successes. And to have successes, you need to take risks. Connecting with the right people creates a culture of encouragement. It allows you to get clarity on what you want and gain the courage to take risks. [30:00] What’s In Store For The Podcast The Mentee Podcast and the Inner Circle Mastermind Community seek to expose people to new ideas and ways of living. They’ll bring together mentors and people with high level conversations.. They also offer training, tools, and support to achieve their good life and break free from a recurring pattern of “average”. Find out about the topics and tools Wyatt will be sharing by tuning in to the full episode! [46:14] Achieving the Good Life The good life is simply the life you want to live. Success is getting what you want. You must know what you want and connect with the right people. Have courage to grow and take risks. Be intentional about your environment.

What do you want? You may think, “Success!” But what does success really mean? Have you ever sat down and thought about what you want? What would your dreams be if you didn't have social media, marketing, or even family trying to influence your dreams? Here at The Mentee Podcast, we understand that you must fit into society. But equally important is being true to yourself. In this episode, I talk about a speech I gave to a class entering high school. Whether you're a teenager graduating from school or an adult working a day job, everyone is in a state of transition — and the lessons are timeless. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Know who you are. Identify what you want for yourself. Your ego protects you, but it’s just as vital to be your true self without ego. Don’t listen to the drunk monkey! Define your future with intentionality.
Episode Highlights: [05:58] The Good Life Wyatt recommends that you ask yourself: Are you happy? Do you like yourself? Understanding your identity is something you need to have a deep relationship with; we're bombarded daily by noise, marketing, social media, and clickbait that try to influence what we want. The good life is what you want it to be — the critical element is that you choose. Success is what you want, so when you get what you want, then you're successful. Therefore, it's critical to identify and clarify what you want.
[09:07] What Do You Know? It’s not about working hard; think hard and get clear on your future self. The world is so broad; see more of it, and the more experiences you have, the more choices you have. Once you know what you want, choose your relationships with intention. Find people who are successful, and get in a relationship with them. By interacting with them, you slowly become like them.
[12:41] Create Your Environment You don't decide your future, but you choose the behaviors and habits that define your future. Part of that is your environment. If you control your environment, you can control your future. However, some people settle into environments that others create for them. Some, like children, have no choice. School systems can help reshape children's environments to guide them to success. As adults, you can create your preferred environment with intentional action.
[20:04] The Drunk Monkey Everyone has a drunk monkey on your shoulder that tells you that you aren't good enough. It's a trick. The negative thoughts you have come from that drunk monkey. When you feel shame, your ego protects you from it. It can protect your true self and help you fit in, but your true self is who you should be. You can't always be your true self, but it's essential to know when to be true to yourself and when to live from your ego. Approach your life with intention, and you can create the future you want.

Are your habits based on your identity or the results you want to achieve? Our habits must be tied to the identity we want instead of results. What we perceive as discipline is what happens when a person's habits and goals align to their identity. Here at The Mentee Podcast, we all want to be consistent with our goals, but sometimes life can lead us astray and we stumble as we try to achieve our dreams. In this episode, Wyatt Graves, Host of The Mentee Podcast, talks about his coaching session with Ron Podolski and how he learned to celebrate all kinds of wins, practice gratitude, and build identity-based habits. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: It takes a mindset shift to train high-quality leaders and elevate one’s business. Always remember to celebrate not only big wins but also small ones. Place the order of what you want to happen and achieve with the universe. A coach is helpful in reminding us to get back on track with our goals. Tie your habits to the identity you want to achieve for yourself.
[00:50] Coaching Call with Ron Podolski It's been a month since Wyatt last talked with Coach Ron Podolski. Last year, Wyatt clarified his goal of leading a team of leaders. He has always been on the front lines of his business. However, he later realized he needed to shift his mindset to elevate his leadership, scale, and lead highly talented people.
[04:18] Celebrate Wins and Practicing Gratitude After reaching a milestone he's been dreaming of for years with his business, Wyatt went “business as usual”. It's important to celebrate not only big wins but also small ones — a win is a win. You have to place your order with the universe to receive, because placing the order means clarifying your vision and acknowledging your desire.
[09:56] Success Leaves Clues Wyatt remembered a Facebook post from a friend who realized that the people who consistently went to the gym with her were all successful. Discipline happens when people have aligned their actions and goals with their identity. Try to think about your identity and the habits that would propel you toward your future self and the identity you want.

So many of us are carrying hurts. That pain from trauma and past experiences will shape who you are and who you need to be — but only if you don’t let it hold you back. However, it’s often easier to succumb to the pain and preserve yourself instead of healing and putting yourself out there. Unless you overcome your trauma, you can’t be who you’re meant to be. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Michael Anthony, founder of Think Unbroken, shares his journey in overcoming his trauma and becoming successful. He discusses the powerful lessons he learned and how you can achieve the life you want.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Life is happening for you. Lead yourself before leading others. Don’t micromanage. Take action to fulfill your goals. Find out how you’ll attain the life you want.
[04:53] Having Reconciliation of Self Life is happening for you. Recognize the power you hold to create the life you want to have. You must understand that your experiences shape you and make you more resilient. Choose to find the good in you and not to hold on to hurts anymore.
[12:55] Being a Good Leader If you want to lead others, you have to lead yourself first. Even if the people you’re leading are not yet ready, they’re still paying attention to your actions. Set an example for them. But don’t try to lead people who don’t want to be led by you; instead, redirect them to someone else. Know the price you’re willing to pay. Sometimes, leaders need to make sacrifices. Balance the idea of letting some things go and surrounding yourself with people who will support you.
[21:02] Letting Things Go A leader’s job is to help people where they are struggling. Leaders must be mobile and agile to bounce around and manage things effectively. Make a decision, delegate tasks, and let your team find success and failure. Don’t micromanage.
[37:00] Taking Action If you want something but take no action, you’re simply interested. You must be obsessed with your goals and dreams. Ideation isn’t enough; you must take action and accept change. Sometimes, people suppress their identity due to fear of pain, suffering, and isolation. Choosing safety over identity can lead to an unfulfilling life. Determine your passion, purpose, boundaries, wants, and needs.
[45:51] Chasing Your Dream Life What are you willing to do to have the life you want? No matter what, you should be okay with who you choose to be. Choose to make no excuses, just results.

We all have days when we feel stuck. Maybe you’ve been working at the same job for years and feel you’re no closer to your goals. Or perhaps you don’t know what to do with your life. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Brian Luebben, CEO of Sexton Property Group, shares his thoughts and tips on living your best life. He teaches you how to create a vision and make it possible because guess what — you deserve to live your best life. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Find the right mentor. Create a vision for your future. Establish your finances. Build key relationships. Take action to attain your goals.
[08:04] How to Find a Mentor Are you looking for a mentor? It’s challenging to know where to start when you’re looking for the best mentor for you. Here’s what you need to ask yourself: What are you looking for in a mentor? Where do you want to be? Who do you want to be?
Gain clarity around the vision of yourself and your future. Once you do that, you’re ready to pursue a mentor to help you attain your goals and create the life you want.
[12:04] Pursuing a Mentor Follow them on their social media. Find out what they are looking for. Establish familiarity by engaging with their content. Wait until they have a specific problem you could help with — and then offer some help.
[23:17] Creating Your Vision If you want to attain your goals and ideal future, you need to have a clear vision of the life you want to live. There are four steps to creating that vision: Determine what you want your dream life to look like. Establish a financial foundation. Build your relationships with peers and mentors.
[27:44] Figuring Out Your Good Life Financial freedom doesn’t mean not working. It just means that you do not have to. But that may not even be your idea of a good life. You deserve to pursue your dream life. You can choose to seek financial, personal, and philosophical freedom. When pursuing your dream life, you may have to face change. Be bold and courageous enough to take action. You have the power to take your dream life from possible to probable to planned.

Contrary to popular belief, leadership isn’t supposed to be about telling people what to do. If you are a leader, you must be able to inspire positive changes in people. By helping transform other people, you can give them access to tools and options that’ll broaden their minds and draw out their full potential. That, in turn, leads to personal success and global impact. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Josh Friberg, keynote speaker at the Abundant Agent, shares his thoughts and tips on transformational leadership. He discusses how you can draw inspiration from others and also be an inspiration to others. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Be a transformational leader. Engage in your community and learn from others. Expose others to tools and options. Draw inspiration from others. Create the impact you want to see in the world.
[07:50] Transformational Leadership Most leadership in our culture is transactional. What we truly need is transformational leadership to help people fully draw out their potential. Give people the time and space to absorb what you teach them and integrate it into their lives.
[17:51] Adapting to Change The exchange approach moves the learning from passive to active. You must also draw on the wisdom and intelligence of other people. It’s also important to engage in your community. Learn to balance your individuality and your sense of community. Our world’s changing at an exponential rate. An individual can’t adapt to change fast. However, people can change if they gather their collective wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence.
[27:37] The Power of the Collective Joining with other business owners will benefit you and other business owners exponentially. If you cannot connect and collaborate with others, you become limited to yourself. You will have to carry everything on your own. Your blind spots will leave you vulnerable.
[27:37] Finding Inspirations and Options When you connect with other business owners, you’re exposed to new thoughts and ideas. With that, you can intentionally decide what to apply to your business. Look at others not to compare but to draw inspiration and look for other options and opportunities.
[34:10] Blazing the Trail Everyone has different intentions. And the impact of your actions will be different for everyone. If you set an example, others will learn from you and follow your lead.

Every business owner may wonder what differentiates a normal business from an extraordinary business. The answer: extraordinary business owners aim for the extraordinary and think big. Of course, every business growth is great, even when it happens in slow, linear increments. But why grow linear when you can grow exponentially? In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Aaron Bare, strategic facilitator and bestselling author, shares his tips on creating an exponential and purposeful business. He discusses the power of flow and exponential habits to serve your business, purpose, wealth, and life. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Always seek to innovate and stand out. Be present in the moment. Unlearn unhealthy programs to create a better future. Find your massive transformative purpose. Create a sustainable model.
[11:47] Getting Into Your Flow Most people don’t grow at the rate they want because they equate success to fame. If you want to become exponential, don’t try to fit in. In doing so, you must be prepared to be misunderstood for a long time. Flow is the ability to keep up with what’s going on. You need to do deep work. Understand how the world works, and then innovate persistently.
[18:43] How to Become Exponential If you find yourself glued to a screen, you’ll notice it eats away at your mental health. Practice JOMO or the “Joy Of Missing Out”. Learn to say no and turn off social media for long periods. Be mindful and present in the moment. Unlearn programs, such as mindsets and beliefs, that do not serve you, and be intentional about creating the future you want. Thinking big takes less energy than thinking small.
[36:33] Finding Your Massive Transformative Purpose So many problems in the world need solving. There are opportunities for exponential leaders to create solutions with the right tool set. Finding your purpose erases all the uncertainty and gives you a clear direction. [] Establish a Sustainable Model Create something repeatable, scalable, and sustainable by focusing on that statement everyone can relate to. Establish a business model that’ll solve the pain points of your customers. Purpose is essential to exponentiality. Communicate your vision to others, and they will provide clarity. And surely, those people will pivot with you.

Many of us dream of losing weight, breaking a bad habit, or getting out of debt, but today’s guest has done all three! It sounds like a real challenge, but you can do it, too.

Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Your small wins add up to larger, long-term success. Learning to show up and resist temptation consistently is invaluable Keep living cheap, even after cutting out wasteful expenses. Identify how to win each day for a successful future.
[03:30] Meet Matt Plumer In 2017, Matt got to a point where he was out of debt but wasn’t making much money either. This got him thinking: what’s a business that can afford him a comfortable lifestyle? With some trial and error, Matt eventually decided on coaching. Matt lost 100 pounds, got sober, and got out of debt. He chalks his transformation up to three key elements: awareness, decision, and intentionality.
[18:37] Achieving Financial Freedom Matt didn’t want to quit drinking or gambling, but once he started and his wins compounded, it was easy. You need to show up and resist temptation consistently. Identifying and cutting out wasteful expenses is the quickest way to work toward financial freedom. Remember: save to invest, not to spend.

However, the truth is these things are a challenge to achieve with real estate alone. Identify how to win the day for a successful life. Listen to the full episode for more of Matt’s insightful tips!
[45:38] The Good Life Finding time, money, and people to share them with — the good life — is possible. Matt shares that the key is planning before doing. With a plan in place, it’ll be easier to see whether you’re on or off track and how you can make adjustments in your situation.

People have grown accustomed to putting off happiness and waiting until retirement to pursue their interests. However, if you follow this philosophy, it may already be too late to realize your dreams. To take action now to live a life of purpose and fulfillment, a bucket list may be just what you need. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Trav Bell, coach and speaker known as the "Bucket List Guy," shares his tips on creating a tangible bucket list that will lead to a fulfilling life. Trav discusses the roadblocks that most people face when completing their bucket list and how to overcome them. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Make a bucket list now; don’t wait until you're dying. Surround yourself with positive, proactive people. Your career should be a part of your life plan, not the other way around. Add simple, actionable items to your bucket list, not just travel plans. Don't let your resources limit you.
[02:05] Becoming the "Bucket List Guy" Trav got his start in the fitness industry as a personal trainer in the early 1990s. He had toxic people in his life at one point, and everything went downhill, leading to mild depression. He then embarked on a personal development journey, eventually working as a motivational speaker and coach. He mentioned having a bucket list in his first talk, hence his moniker.
[08:00] Living Life with Intention Trav facilitates a specific exercise when he speaks at events. It's a wake-up call that our time on Earth is finite, and we must act now to achieve our goals and find happiness. Don't wait until you’re terminally ill to appreciate life.
[17:55] Busy Being Busy We are often so preoccupied with checking off our daily to-do lists that we forget about our bucket lists — the things that bring us joy. Your job should give you the freedom to do whatever you want with your time and money. If you're short on resources, get creative!
[21:33] The Myth of the "401(K)" Waiting until retirement to do what you want has become the norm, but this does not have to be your reality. A common misconception is that a bucket list is limited to travel plans or expensive excursions. You can also use your bucket list to take concrete steps toward learning a new language or instrument. Trav has divided his bucket list into 12 categories, clarifying his objectives.
[32:14] A Positive Support System Set an example for others by completing your bucket list. Rather than wasting time or being negative, shine a bright light on those around you. If you're a parent, encourage your children to adopt a positive, proactive attitude.

"Quantum physics" may sound intimidating, but it is a valuable tool for personal and professional success. Energy makes up everything around you, including yourself. By connecting and transforming that energy to your advantage, you can reach your goals and succeed. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Trevor Blake, entrepreneur, physicist, and author, shares his advice on achieving success with financial independence. He discusses the observer effect and reframing your thoughts, quantum entanglement in his business model, and raising your energy frequency to unlock transformation. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Put positive intentions into the universe so that good things will come your way. Concentrate on your desired outcome because your thoughts are made up of energy. By transforming yourself into the best version of yourself, your business will, too. Make use of the resources and tools available to overcome fear and achieve self-growth. Indecision causes life’s frustration.
[10:09] Setting Your Expectations Energy makes up our thoughts. We set things in motion by focusing on the ideal scenario we want to happen. In quantum physics, this is known as the observer effect. It's best to avoid having a scarcity mindset or risk setting yourself up for failure. [16:23] Applying Quantum Entanglement to the Hub Model In quantum physics, quantum entanglement is how particles connect. Trevor put this into practice in his company by using a hub model. Rather than having a hierarchy of employees, he engages with contracts and vendors, creating peer-to-peer relationships.
[24:10] Kick-starting Intuition Using quantum physics in your personal and professional life requires developing your intuition. Start by taking notice of your thoughts and reframing them to match the positive outcome you desire. To get where you want to go, you must first understand your thoughts.
[39:28] Unlocking Transformation Trevor suggests starting your transformation journey with his mini mind movie technique. However, he warns that to master a technique, you must first master a repertoire of other methods. It's essential to have a foundation of knowledge. Paint the perfect picture of what you want to happen using the mind movie technique. Replay that movie whenever you find yourself thinking negatively.

Every parent wants to build a loving family, but as with all human relationships, there are many challenges along the way. Sibling rivalry, difficulty finding the right discipline method, ineffective communication — these are but a few things that can hinder a strong family relationship. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Lindsay Cambre, a licensed professional counselor, shares her tips on building a strong, healthy family unit. She discusses teaching children proper communication, empathy, and conflict resolution to ultimately develop solid relationship foundations between every member of the family. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Teach children how to communicate their feelings. Invite children to participate in creating a vision for the family. Set a good example. Always be present and empathetic. Encourage open communication between family members.
[10:01] Fostering Social and Emotional Skills Discipline methods are different for each person, but parents should always come from a place of empathy. Let your children communicate their feelings and help them process them in a healthy way. Your children might not always know what words to use to describe how they feel, but with consistency and determination, you can teach them these kinds of social and emotional skills. [14:47] Create a Clear Vision When creating a vision of the future that you want for your family, you need to let your family participate. Doing this will clarify the part each member of the family plays in achieving it. [24:10] Set an Example Whether from their parents or on social media, everything children see can influence their worldview. Instead of giving quick responses to your children’s questions, try asking them back. This will give you insight into a child’s perspective, which you can use to shape your response.
[25:49] Rituals for Healthy Relationships Being present for your children is crucial, but setting boundaries is equally important. This will allow you to give them your appropriately undivided attention by separating work and family time. When your children face situations that are outside their empathy zones, try passive storytelling. Address the issue indirectly — this will make them feel safer and more receptive to your conversation.
[32:07] Discuss Pits and Peaks Read up on books about building a culture of empathy and kindness within your home. Set aside time for everyone to share their low and high points every day. Encourage your children to put themselves in the sharer’s shoes by asking them what they might’ve felt in that situation.

Tired of your children bickering all the time? It’s frustrating when your children fight. Whether they’re having screaming matches or downright ignoring each other, it can be difficult to figure out how to help them reconcile. Such situations can make parents feel helpless, and temporary solutions aren’t the answer; what your children need is a family culture that empowers them to be intentional, open, and responsible. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Vicki Ellis, founder of Heritage Ranch, draws from her experience to share tips on resolving sibling rivalries. She discusses how to create a healthy family culture and strong relationships — between parents and children and between siblings. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Learn each other’s love languages. Give everyone the space to express their needs. Create opportunities for your children to work together. Discuss victories and struggles with the family. Be intentional about spending family time.
[07:23] Know What Fills Your Children’s Love Tanks Create an environment where your family can learn what works for each other. Learning everyone’s love languages is a great way to start. It teaches your kids to understand how their siblings feel served, as well as what will hurt them. [13:18] Creating an Empowering Family Culture Create a culture where family members are empowered to share what their needs are. Having family meetings can help with this. You should also create opportunities for your children to work together. This allows them to work out their dynamics with each other and gives them experience collaborating with others. [24:43] Be Open with Struggles Open communication between family members creates a connection within the family. Sibling rivalries emerge when you can’t celebrate each child’s victories, and when there is shame created around struggle. Strengthening relationships gives your children an emotional support system, removing competition and promoting healthy discussion about struggles. [29:33] Practicing Intentionality Reconciliation, communication, and conflict resolution require intentionality. What’s important is to check in and connect every day. Using the professional development strategies that you would use in a business with your family draws on all their skills and strengthens their bonds. Practice the same level of intentionality with your family. [40:43] Heritage Ranch Heritage Ranch is a Christian children’s home that serves boys between the ages of 10 and 18 that are in crisis.

What does a good life look like for you? Sometimes, we get trapped in the life we're expected to live. Think about the life you truly want. That life is the good life you deserve — and it's valid whether other people expect it of you or not. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Wyatt shares the things he learned throughout the years of hosting the podcast. He discusses how to gain clarity on your goals, act with intent towards them, and achieve extraordinary success. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Knowing what you want leads you to success The good life is about being clear on who and what you want to become Work on bridging the gap, but remember to celebrate your gains Join conversations that will bring you closer to your goals With intentional and consistent behavior, you’ll find motivation
[00:46] The Hack For Extraordinary Success The good life is whatever you want your life to be. Define your purpose: your big "why." Once you find clarity around your future self, you can make intentional decisions and steps towards your desired good life. Through Jim Rohn's quote, Jeff Woods discovered a hack, “You become like the five people you spend the most time with.” When you get clear on who and what you want to become, you should find other people living that life and build a relationship with them. That’s the path towards success. [08:31] The Good Life The good life is a life that you choose, free from regrets. It differs for each person, but you need a clear vision of your goal. Bronnie Ware asked people on their deathbed about their regrets and that many people wished they dared to live the life they wanted instead of what other people expected of them.
[13:48] The Gap and the Gain When you get clear on where you want to go, you create a baseline of where you are now and your desired future. The space between the baseline and goal is "the gap." A life of intentionality makes it easier to focus on your goal. While moving towards that goal, you make gains in many areas. Your baseline will continue to rise as you progress. Don’t focus too much on the gap; celebrate the gains — all your achievements and blessings — by practicing gratitude.
[17:53] The Power of Conversations You grow into the conversations around you. Get clear about where you want to be and find conversations around that goal. Treat your goals as if you have a relationship with them. Spend time with them and surround yourself with conversations about them. Once you do that, you’ll be able to grow into those conversations and achieve your goals. It’s a long game; life might beat you up, but don’t stay down. Act with intention.
[22:53] How to Find Motivation Behavior comes before motivation. Sometimes, you might lack motivation, but creating the right environment through scheduling, conversations, accountability groups, etc., can help keep you going.

Are you wondering how you can live a longer, more fulfilling life? Many of us resort to external means, like testosterone replacement therapy, in hopes of achieving this. What we fail to realize is that with a little discipline, we work to can extend our lives ourselves. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Howard Aaron shares his tips, tricks, and knowledge on how to extend your life by simply maintaining an active lifestyle. You’d never be able to tell he’s turning 70 — what’s stopping you from being the same? Howard also talks about blocking out the “noise between your ears” and how, by doing this, you can achieve so much more. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Exercise is important, but rest and recovery are just as crucial to increasing testosterone levels By blocking out the “noise between your ears”, you can allow yourself to reach higher heights There are many natural alternatives to testosterone replacement therapy available Consistency trumps infrequent activities that only bring mental satisfaction
[4:47] Howard’s Stance in the Testosterone Replacement Therapy Debate Howard was invited to take part in a debate about the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy. He shared that he doesn’t use it and argued that we don’t need it as there are many natural alternatives to testosterone replacement therapy available. Howard went on to form a group and start a program to encourage men to look into increasing testosterone levels through exercise.
[17:03] Blocking Out the Noise Between Your Ears Our id, ego, and superego all play separate roles and tell us different things, many times talking us out of opportunities even before they arise. By learning about and understanding them, we can work against them.
[33:50] The Top Three Natural Ways to Boost Your Testosterone Levels Howard shares his top three ways to naturally boost your testosterone levels: Proper resistance training Eating clean Getting good sleep

Are you torn between your passion and your profession? Many people dream of earning passive income and achieving financial independence without being tied to jobs they dislike. It can seem like these are two mutually exclusive concepts, but fortunately, there are ways to make it work. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Justin Donald shares his experiences in the real estate ventures sector and offers advice on becoming a lifestyle investor. He also talks about buying back your time and how your passion and profession can both lie on a single plane. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Continuous cash flow is key to financing the lifestyle you want Choose who you involve in your business ventures wisely to get the best offers Quality trumps quantity when managing your team Buy back your time and earn back your life
[9:15] Justin’s Journey of Becoming a Lifestyle Investor Justin’s humble beginnings in entrepreneurial investing date back to his college days, when he first had to fend for himself and keep his expenses in check. He started his own company, which was under the umbrella of another company, and he quickly realized he was good at working with people and inspiring them. Justin learned that organizations that provide room to scale higher are harder to leave. The desire to maximize determines the kind of life you will build, and it really worked for him. [12:35] Lifestyle Investing Tips The more money you have to spend, the more you can increase your lifestyle investments. You can start with a simple income-generating opportunity and grow it to meet immediate cash flow. With a continuous cash flow, you’ll be able to finance the lifestyle you want.
[18:09] Justin’s First Trailer Park Business Venture The first trailer park Justin bought only had one park-owned home in it. He proceeded to buy some more from someone who had owned several homes and wanted to quit the business. Justin later realized he made a great mistake because mobile home park investing requires you to break even on home rent.
[22:07] Running a Maintenance Company Justin is the co-founder of a single-family home rental maintenance company called IFM Restoration. They started as a service-based company with few employees but gradually grew as demand for their services did. With the addition of their own proprietary software, IFM Restoration transitioned into a tech company. Having raised funds from various S3 ventures, they grew to be one of the largest vendors and service companies on the market.
[27:27] Venture Capital Investing Today, Justin stands among the top owners of mobile home parks in the US and is actively buying more. For those looking to join the business, he advises that you buy from baby boomers and retirees directly without getting a broker involved for better offers.
[35:48] Managing Your Team It's not about having a bigger team; it's all about having businesses that can operate themselves. Justin’s company has managers for certain regions, operation managers, CFO’s, and executive assistants. You don't have to manage all the teams. Instead, delegate work to other people, companies, and groups.
[47:07] The Importance of Buying Back Your Time You can do whatever you want when you buy back your time. You don't have to overwork yourself at a job you don't even like. Running your own business gives you the freedom to do what you want. The passion for doing it will then come automatically.

Are you looking for ways to live the life you’ve always wanted? Every living soul in this world has a purpose. We were all born to live the lives we desire and make a positive impact. But sometimes, people, experiences, and many other things keep us from living our God-given purpose and reaching our potential. In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Craig Hill shares powerful lessons you can apply to help you enrich your life and tap into your potential. He also talks about preventing generational curses and the significance of blessings in life. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Living by the ancient paths can improve your life Listening to God’s voice will help you understand your purpose You can change what's in your heart Through God, you can overcome your shame and self-loathing Bless your children instead of hurting them Guilt and shame are not the same
Episode Highlights: [09:16] Living by the Ancient Paths There are ancient paths that control all elements of life, including wealth, marriage, physical and mental health, and child development. Following the ancient paths teaches us life lessons and allows us to live in God’s way. In Craig’s book “The Power of a Parent’s Blessing,” he explains how parents can empower their children by blessing them at critical moments in their lives. These blessings enable them to achieve their goals and flourish in life. [11:42] Knowing Your Purpose in Life Your ability to know who you are and your purpose in this world depends on the beliefs in your heart. The devil will try to diminish your purpose by using people to feed you negative thoughts about who you are and what you’re capable of. On the other hand, listening to God’s voice will help you understand yourself, your importance, and His intentions for you.
[19:07] Changing What’s in Your Heart Through the Ancient Path online seminars, Craig Hill leads people through a ministry process designed to help them identify the lies in the depths of their hearts.
[27:04] Overcoming Your Shame and Self-Loathing The hurtful words you hear as a child can remain with you for years. They bring you pain long after the other person will have forgotten they even uttered them. It’s important that you take a step back and realize they’re not the truth — they are not God’s words. By speaking with God, you can replace the lies with love.
[41:29] How to Be Better Parents Parents need to learn how to bless their children and not curse them. Never impart negative thoughts onto your children’s hearts because it will devastate them. They can carry that hurt in their hearts forever. Instead, bless your children so that they can grow to live their God-given purpose.
[1:01:21] Distinguishing Guilt from Shame It’s perfectly fine to feel guilty because guilt is something God has placed in our life. When you deviate, it makes you realize your wrongdoings and repent. Parents should stop making their children feel bad about themselves for making mistakes. Likewise, parents must learn the difference between identity and behavior to discipline their children properly. Rather than making them feel shame, talk to your children about how to change their behaviors, even if it requires disciplining them. It is for their own benefit.

Are you building your wealth towards a financially secure future? Everybody wants financial stability, but certain factors and even personal decisions can lead you to make choices you’ll regret. The “YOLO” life can be tempting. You might want to invest your money wisely but just don’t know how — don’t let these things stop you from becoming the millionaire you can be. Here at The Mentee Podcast, we know that handling your finances wisely is easier said than done. So we’re relaunching an episode with David Pere, founder of the Military Millionaire Community, where he talks about his journey in building wealth and success — and how you can too. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Spend your money wisely Put a percentage of your paycheck into a bond account Be consistent with your content and brand Learn to leverage VA loans Start contributing to your 401(k) Fix your credit and purchase a property using a VA loan
Episode Highlights: [05:05] Spend Wisely The first secret to getting wealthy in the military is to stop doing whatever the military does. The military offers many benefits that can make it easy to build wealth, but they must be used wisely. It’s up to you to decide if you want to make money and commit to it. [09:05] Set Money Aside Always try to set aside around 10 to 20% of your paycheck. Add another 1 or 2% to your deposits every time you get a raise and put it in a bond account. You can then become financially secure and afford to take bigger risks because your retirement will already be taken care of.
[12:03] How David Got Started in Real Estate Investing A few months before starting real estate investing in 2015, David joined Amway and did multilevel marketing. One thing he got out of that was an audiobook of Rich Dad Poor Dad. At that time, the lease on David’s apartment was almost up at that time, so he started looking for duplexes and purchased one. It took two years to buy his next real investment: a 10-unit that was 85% bank-financed and 10% seller-financed. He only paid 5% out of pocket.
[17:55] Scaling and Syndication Upon leaving active duty in October 2021, David had just under 100 doors in his portfolio. He now has a 4-unit hotel that he’s a third owner on, two apartments, and a bunch of one to four-unit singles, duplexes, and fourplexes. His goal is to hold around 10 more houses this year. David also helped raise two syndications that he’s a general partner on. He was a huge fan of them.
[25:54] Navigating VA Loans and Entitlement Most people do not realize the benefits of VA loans. You can build a house or do a renovation loan with one. The guidelines are extremely loose. There’s also no debt-to-income ratio requirement. David’s favorite strategy is house hacking, which is possible with conventional loans. You could also house hack with VA loans, but it gets nuanced when it comes to entitlement. Depending on the purchase price and other factors, you could end up with zero entitlements. Zipcodes set the entitlement amount. The limits on your first purchase still apply but only after your first use.
[30:39] Starting Your Journey to Wealth Make sure you’re putting out a bare minimum of 5% if you’re on the new retirement system. It’s also important to fix your credit. You can then aim at purchasing a duplex, triplex, or fourplex with a VA loan. If you can pay less to live in a certain place, save that money, and you’re all set for success.

How much time do you devote to your work and family? We all want our businesses to succeed, but at what cost? If your life revolves around your work alone, it may be time to reassess how you view your relationships with your work and family. Here at The Mentee Podcast, we know how difficult it is to be both a good parent and entrepreneur, but we want to remind you that at the end of the day, your family is as important as your business. In this episode, Craig Kessler, author of The Dad Advice Project, talks all about his journey of writing his book and becoming a better dad. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Being open about your struggles can help you find support Parenting is both a responsibility and a privilege Children need both good parents and good mentors Exposing your children to your work or business gives them a head start Don’t feel guilty about spending time with your family
Episode Highlights: [04:44] Craig’s Journey Craig Kessler was the Chief Operating Officer of Topgolf before becoming the Chief Executive Officer at Buff City Soap. Buff City Soap started as gifts given to its founder’s family and friends. An influx of positive reviews then transformed what started in a garage in Memphis, Tennessee into a franchise with 190 stores.
[06:30] The Dad Advice Project Craig’s book, The Dad Advice Project, is a compilation of letters from people he knows about being a dad. He never had the closest relationship with his father, so since he couldn’t ask his father when he had questions, Craig turned to his friends who could relate to him. Craig shares that the book isn’t about giving advice; instead, it focuses on the mistakes and hardships of being a father. Men tend to be private about their struggles with relationships, and Craig saw how the book helped them open up.
[13:01] Advice for Dads The book touches on many major themes including: Encouraging your kids and helping them feel safe Spending time with your kids; quality over quantity isn’t true Loving your spouse and making sure your kids know it
Craig also shares tactical advice. These are several activities you can try in your home. For example, Craig’s family has a tradition of gratitude every month. Each family member will introduce themselves and share what they’re grateful for. This practice helps the kids build confidence, storytelling skills, and gratitude. Learn more by listening to the full episode! It’s not enough to be a good parent; children also need to be surrounded by mentors they can look up to. Craig surrounds himself with a variety of people and makes sure his kids feel comfortable asking him for advice.
[19:04] Balancing Life and Work Before working with Topgolf, Craig worked at a private equity firm. As Topgolf’s COO, Craig helped the company grow from 15 to 70 venues and from 5000 to 25,000 associates. Despite how busy he is with work, Craig makes the effort to balance his work and life. On the weekends he has work, he brings his kids along. They even know the staff and management teams! In a way, Topgolf became family for them too. Craig also makes it a point to be home for dinner and present with his family. Your work and business growth will always be waiting for you to return. Don’t feel guilty about spending time with your family.
[23:32] Helping Craig Craig wants to help people become better dads to give kids better lives. Check out his book, The Dad Advice Project, to learn more about good parenting.

Are you a hunter or a fisherman? Hunting prey makes it run away, but fish come to the fisherman. But, wait—what does this have to do with networking and entrepreneurship? The answer lies in how you act around your potential clients — do you serve others, or yourself? Here in The Mentee Podcast, we are launching an episode all about living your good life, networking, and creating the wow factor in your life — and those of your clients. Joe Sweeney, a passionate entrepreneur and networking expert, will explain his strategies on how to network and serve others. The secret to good networking isn't what most people think it is! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Life can bring you to many places and heights Networking is a place to give and not to get Be a fisherman, not a hunter The best networkers are good listeners, not talkers Serve others to wow them Be a calculated risk-taker
Episode Highlights: [03:41] Joe’s Journey After finishing his MBA, Joe Sweeney bought four manufacturing companies. He later sold them as he felt reassured knowing he had the money for his children's education. After, he oversaw the Wisconsin Sports Authority for four years. He returned to buying and selling companies after his time at the sports commission. Joe landed 23 clients, including his biggest client Brett Favre. Joe had a very long journey in his career, but he emphasizes the importance of networking and connecting with other big or small entrepreneurs.
[09:08] Reframing Networking: Serve Others Networking is a place to give and not to get. Joe doesn't like what networking represents because most networkers act like hunters, running clients down at gatherings. It's better to be a fisherman: a hunter makes clients run while chasing them, but a fisherman brings in clients and waits for them. The secret of networking is learning that its purpose is to serve others.
[11:20] Asking the Right Questions Joe shares that the great networkers are good talkers, but the best networkers are listeners. They ask great questions, sit back, and listen to their prospects. Networking is about giving people what they want; you won’t learn about your clients if you’re talking all the time. He shares that a good place to start is to talk about the prospects' personal life and their children. It's critical to choose the questions you ask with care. What you talk about with your client will create an "anchor" in their head. It's better to form positive anchors, so talk about what makes your clients excited!
[16:47] Creating Wow Factors in People’s Lives Joe takes a mental inventory of the people he meets and sets aside money every month to buy things for people. The key to wowing someone is to give them something personal and do something memorable. Serve others and let them feel you care. When you show up to a prospect, they ask three questions: Do they really care for me? Can they help me? Can I trust them? You have to show up and prepare for these questions with your words and actions. Small acts of kindness and service can go a long way!
[28:36] Helping Joe and Taking Risks Joe says that what he needs help with right now is spreading the word. His number one passion is helping people do what they never thought they would have done. Joe shares how people will not regret what they did on the death bed, but they will regret the things they did not do. The best thing to do is to get comfortable with risk. It’s difficult, but ask yourself: “What’s the worst that could possibly happen?”

Who are the people surrounding you? You need the right people around you to grow. Your dreams are your future, and letting the wrong people in is the easiest way to sabotage your life. These wrong people are the ones who don't support you, leading you away from success. They might even think they're helping you, but the truth is, they're pulling you down. How do you deal with that, cultivate an abundance mindset, and move towards your dream life? This is an episode with a message that will never get outdated. Geoff talks about the one mistake killing your dream and what you can do to stop it from sabotaging your life. As a special gift, Dominic D’Amico joins him to share how taking action is easier than you think. Be brave, eyes up! Maintain an abundance mindset, and you can do anything. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Identify the toxic people in your life Coach or cut off toxic people Get ready to have difficult conversations Don’t expect people to change overnight Go out and take action Cultivate an abundance mindset and know your worth
Episode Highlights: [2:47] What’s Killing Your Dreams What is your dream life? Define it. What makes it perfect? Imagine that you're already living your dream life. You have everything you could want. Everything is in your hands, then suddenly: it slips away because toxic people in your life. These people can be anyone. It might be easy to blame them. However, you have to be accountable for your life. You let these people into your life, and then you stayed with them. As early as now, be aware of the things in your life that don't make you feel good. Cut them off; that toxicity is killing your dreams. [8:38] Identify Toxic Elements When you interact with the people in your life, ask yourself how they make you feel. Once you figure out the relationships that hurt you, you can either coach them up or cut them out. If you decide to give them a second chance, talk to them from a place of vulnerability, honesty, and love. [11:39] Keep An Abundance Mindset, But Don't Expect Miracles Remember — these toxic people are sabotaging your dreams. An abundance mindset requires that you understand that you deserve happiness, and you’re worth the effort. All the more reason to have these difficult conversations! However, we're all human; these people won’t be able to change immediately. Don't get frustrated or impatient if they're not the person you need them to be the next day. Continue to build and coach them up. But if they won’t make changes, cut them off. Love yourself enough to do what’s best for you. Don’t let anyone contaminate your success. You can’t have an abundance mindset if you’re surrounded by negativity. If the toxic people in your life are family, you can’t always cut them off. Instead, limit exposure to them. [16:00] Shoot Your Shot Dominic D'Amico is a junior transfer at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. When he found the podcast, he understood that Geoff was genuine and added value to people's lives. As a young entrepreneur, he didn't know his next move. He had a limiting belief that he was just an average guy with nothing valuable to add. Hopping on two calls with Geoff, he connected with a heavy-hitting entrepreneur — a CEO of a technology incubator — in his area. In the end, Dominic was able to get an internship at that company and honed his social media skills. [23:28] Take Action: Less Of A Challenge Than You Might Think Dominic learned that everything falls into place once you get over your fears. All you need to do is take action. You'll find opportunities falling into your lap, perhaps even effortlessly. So don't hesitate to go out and grab opportunities that will help with your success.

Investor, author, and advisor, James Harold Webb was already selling potholders and newspapers, and offering lawn mowing services at 8 years old. Many years later, James left his job as a radiology technologist to start his own business that he even got his former boss as the first to invest. He was able to grow his company so massively that he has left a mark in the medical imaging space. James attributes a huge part of his success to the relationships he has built throughout his career. In today’s discussion, James talks about the concept of allowing people in your company to have equity while still having control over it. James lays out the idea of giving financial independence to people within your company. It gives you the ability to create an organization where people are committed to helping you become successful because what they’re getting is beyond their W-2 paycheck. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: The value of relationships Understanding employee equity James’ definition of resilience The power of being decisive Overcoming self-doubt What contingency management looks like How James hires people Turning expenses into revenue streams
Episode Highlights: [07:05] The Value of Relationships Relationships are the single biggest key to entrepreneurial success. Relationships will define your ultimate objective and success. It's not just relationships with your mentors, but also with your employees, your colleagues, and even your competitors. There's nothing wrong with being competitive but you can also do that as a leader and still maintain all internal and external relationships. [19:22] Understanding Employee Equity The great thing about an LLC is you get control as a shareholder. James has set up a structure where he is the Class A shareholder and employees are able to get some equity – not equity fund, but equity. It means they get a stock certificate controlled by him. It’s different from a profit share. As an equity holder, they get the money that James gets. And when the company loses money, they also get the tax write off that James gets. And the way James set things up after 43 years of learning is having a vesting period as a B shareholder and an exit strategy as a C shareholder. [22:43] What Resilience Means There's a lot of people that get knocked down and get back up, and then they get knocked down again and get back up. But resilience is not just about getting knocked down and getting back up. It's about stopping, assessing, and finding another path. [24:04] The Power of Being Decisive Many people worry about being qualified to do something. Obviously, you need some knowledge and direction. But if you wait until you're qualified, sometimes it's too late. And so, if there’s something you want to do, then do it. You might get knocked down and you might have to get back up. But in that process, you're going to learn a lot more. So don't wait till you're qualified, just jump! [37:25] Turning Expenses into Revenue Streams One of the business hacks you can do as an entrepreneur is to turn your expenses into revenue streams. For instance, James started their own service company and instead of paying people to service their equipment, they’re now servicing their own equipment as well as other people’s equipment. And so, it became a revenue stream for them instead of an expense. Resources Mentioned: http://www.jamesharoldwebb.com (www.jamesharoldwebb.com)
Do you really want to work the next 30 years of your career trying to build up a $100-million net worth because it’s what you really want – or just to say you have a $100-million net worth? An extremely driven entrepreneur, Cody Caswell found himself trying to stick with the entrepreneurial status quo, living a life others expected him to live and seeing himself from the lens of other people who have their own vision of what an entrepreneur should look like. Eventually, he chose to forge his own path and live life through his own lens. Cody Caswell is an example of what having clarity of your future self looks like. He shed his ego to live the life he wanted. Today, Cody has a flipping company and does general contract work for some other people. He also has a short-term hold company in the heavy rehab space as well as portfolio rentals with a total of 70 doors. His goal is to never have to sell anything, and the only reason he has the flipping company is to make money to fund the rental. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How he determines their flips vs. holds How a deal using private money works Building a solid relationship with your team and contractors Challenging the entrepreneurial status quo Approaching business an inch-wide and a mile-deep
Episode Highlights: [08:13] How a Deal Using Private Money Works The way Cody uses private money to invest is he gets a set interest rate from lenders, usually 8%, to cover the purchase price and all of their rehab costs upfront. Once this is done, they list the property quickly and as soon as it's closed, they take out all the money for the private lender and pay off the loan and interest. [12:53] Building a Solid Relationship With Your Team And Contractors In the construction world, working for homeowners can be quite challenging, especially when working for custom homes because clients can be picky and meticulous. They have the tendency to micromanage and breathe over their shoulders. And subcontractors don’t like that. The subcontractors been there for 10-15 years and they don't need somebody watching over them. Cody believes it’s important to let them do their job and let them make their own mistakes. Then over the course of building that relationship with them, they’re already able to manage expectations. [24:26] Challenging the Entrepreneurial Status Quo A lot of people who have the entrepreneurial drive think they have to be working 20 hours a day to build their net worth. But at some point, you’ve got to be able to shed your entrepreneurial ego, and start to look within and ask yourself, what do you really want out of your life? If you’re working just for the sake of working, or because you want to build your net worth, then that all becomes futile when you realize you’ve only been living the life the way other people wanted, and not what you really wanted. Rather than trying to push yourself in the direction you think you should be going, recognize what’s pulling you instead.

Part and parcel of every person’s growth, whether in business or life, is that constant yearning for learning. And when you take the time to really get to know what you want, seeking clarity through curiosity, and you do that with consistency – relentless growth happens. However, a big part of success is to grow, not to the point of burning out from all the grinding, but rather finding that alignment. In this conversation Chris Goodman, CEO of Goodman Coaching and host of Relentless Growth Podcast, talks about growth, alignment, and creating life by design. Chris currently offers three different coaching platforms. The first is one-on-one coaching, which is the most intimate, deep form of coaching. The second is a group coaching platform where they coach eight to ten CEOs for three to four months at a time. The third is breakthrough coaching, which is one-on-one coaching with the two coaches Chris hired, perfect for business owners who are just getting started. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Leveraging for time Working on what you need to work on How your goals evolve Relentless growth Being in alignment to propel you to the next level Currencies in the relationship capital world
Episode Highlights: [25:04] How Goals Evolve Evolution is always part of growth, and part of that evolution is a sense of self-awareness. When you are more aware of yourself, you find clarity in what you want and what you don’t want. The faster this occurs, the faster your goals change as well. And the goals which you thought were the most important no longer are because you’ve found different sets of new possibilities. [33:45] Strive for Relentless Growth Growing relentlessly means striving to tap into your full potential each time. You seek to explore other things you never thought you were capable of, and you motivate other people around you to do the same. Relentless growth doesn't mean you have to hustle and grind day in and day out. It means having a growth mindset that naturally becomes an integral part of your being. Part of growing is the blossoming of your confidence and awareness. It also takes less action if what you’re doing aligns with your values. And the more you’re aligned, there’s less room for burnout. [38:43] The Relationship Capital A relationship capital world has different currencies. For instance, you can invest your time in exchange for building strong connections with people in your network. The more clear you are on what you want out of life and what you want out of your time in your business, the more you attract the right kind of people.

In today’s conversation, Blake Walker shares his journey from working as a W-2 physical therapist to becoming a full-time real estate investor. Blake discusses how he used his W-2 as a backing and leveraged the power of mentorship to upgrade his life, ultimately achieving financial freedom, which is really about the freedom to do what you want, when you want – with the people you love. Investing the $30,000-gift he got from his mom before she died, Blake eventually figured things out and built his wealth in real estate, going from one property in 2016 to now 42 doors and having a franchise in the same company as his mentor. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Getting into Gobundance’s Emerge Overcoming the fear of asking Going from “I should” to “I must” Putting yourself around the right people The goal-getter vs. the goal- setter Getting his first deal Holding a property vs. flipping it The true meaning of financial freedom
Episode Highlights: [09:13] Finding a Mentor Find people who have done things you want to do and have done them well. Ask about where they messed up and learn from their mistakes. It's all about alignment. You have to have those conversations to help you grow, evolve, transform, and be ready for the next season of your life. [13:50] The Goal Getter vs. The Goal Setter The goal setter is your conscious mind and the goal-getter is your subconscious mind. When your subconscious is not in alignment with the conscious, then there's conflict. Therefore, bring awareness to that goal-getter part of you that’s coming from your subconscious mind. Go deeper into your thoughts and identify any conditioning around you that keeps you from getting from “I should” to “I must.” [32:43] The True Meaning of Financial Freedom Financial freedom does not mean you’re living on the beach or driving a Lambo. It's about the freedom to do what you want, when you want with people you love. The fastest way to achieve that is to cut your expenses. A lot of people miss the opportunity thinking they have to have a big house but you just have to cut back. The more you cut back, the faster you are on your way to financial independence. Ultimately, financial freedom refers to a passive income that exceeds or at least meets your ordinary living expenses. So if you can cut back on your living expenses and increase your passive income, then you're financially free, and you no longer have to show up to work.

How do you create boundless opportunities? Sometimes, all you need to do is surround yourself with people who are already where you want to be. Get into a relationship with them, and the best way to do that is to offer them value. Ask them what you can do to serve them. That is the premise of The Mentee Podcast. In today’s conversation, Brian Luebben shares his story of how he got into the room with a group of millionaires and how he tripled his net worth after meeting them in just 12 months. There weren’t any direct business relationships or direct partnerships that occurred. He simply grew into the conversations around him. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Overcoming the fear of getting in the room with big people Generating passive income through house hacking How it’s like house hacking your actual house Brian’s hunger to maximize opportunities The power of putting yourself in a room full of successful people Joining Emerge by GoBundance
Episode Highlights: [08:25] Overcoming the Fear It's easy for a lot of people to put others on pedestals. They think these people have it all figured out and that they are better than everybody else. Putting yourself in a room full of successful people can be a bit intimidating but everyone is “just ” human and everyone is “just” a person. Instead, learn from them. Aspire to be always green at something, otherwise, you’re not growing. Be glad about your mistakes and the faults or missteps that you've had in the journey because that builds you to who you are today. [18:37] Mastering the Art of House Hacking When Brian bought his first house at 24, people were telling him it was a stupid idea. He moved in anyway and had another person rent the top floor. The moment he got the first rent payment, he realized it worked. Three years later, he’s renting out multiple units, with his passive income knocking out his expenses. [39:55] The Power of Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Recognize that sometimes your family and your closest friends are some of your harshest critics. That's not necessarily their fault. It's just where they're at. It’s their perspective. Meet them wherever they’re at, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to be riding that car of life with you in the front seat. Be very intentional with every relationship. Meet every person where they're at to make them feel seen, known, heard, and valued. Just being in the room meeting the right people and having the right frame of mind will triple your net worth because we all grow into the conversations around us.

In 2014, with only a $10,000-investment out of pocket, DJ Savoy partnered up with his former colleagues to buy a HomeVestors Franchise. They grew the real estate business tremendously, hitting their 10-year goal of buying 10 houses in just five months. Eight years later, they have now amassed a rental portfolio of around 225 doors! In today’s conversation, DJ shares some great insights into building long-term wealth as well as some nuggets of universal truths to inspire you to become more of who you already are. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Finding gratitude from growing up in an abusive household DJ’s spiritual awakening in 2010 The power of forgiveness Hitting a 10-year goal in just 5 months Building long-term wealth A message of faith and hope How to facilitate courage within you Having the hunger and a vision for better, bigger, and more Being intentional about your goals
Episode Highlights: [11:26] The Power of Forgiveness Resentment is the poison that we drink hoping that the other person will die. We all have pain in life. If we're holding on to that pain and if it's not transformed into positive energy and positive light, that pain will be transmitted in negative energy. And those we love the most get affected the worst. [21:46] Building Long Term Wealth Along with his partners, DJ went into real estate with a mindset of building long-term wealth. They didn’t want to just flip properties and make a lot of money. And so, they bought one house to sell to cover the expenses, and then bought another house to hold. Since then, they’ve been doing 50% hold and 50% sale. Today, they have accumulated a rental portfolio of 225 doors. [26:32] A Message of Faith and Hope God is calling us to something greater. There's always something greater that's pulling us and guiding us. Have faith and know that it is happening because everything you need is already within you. You just have to have the courage to be even more of who you already are. Take courage to become all that God has called you to be. [28:41] How to Facilitate Courage Within You Courage is acting towards a goal without knowing the consequences without knowing the results of your actions. Inevitably, you're going to fail or be embarrassed by the results of your decisions. But when you're surrounded by people who support you to get back up and keep going, this fuels you to become more courageous. [35:47] Having the Hunger and a Vision for Better, Bigger, and More Have the clarity that there could be more and there could be better. Then you begin to see your current circumstances from a different perspective. It allows you to say yes to opportunities, that you might ordinarily have said no to if you weren’t hungry or if you lacked the awareness. Give yourself permission to be who God created you to be. Become more of who you already are, and by becoming more, you’re going to attract more.

What would happen if we were able to teach teenagers financial independence? High school teacher, real estate investor, and net worth millionaire, Dan Sheeks, joins me today as we discuss his newest book, First to a Million: A Teenager’s Guide to Achieving Early Financial Independence. Although written for teenagers, Dan wrote the book for anyone who is getting into the idea of early financial independence and seeking to carve out their path to a good life. Not every young person is interested in learning and focusing on their financial future – and not every adult is either. But you also don’t have to wait to achieve financial freedom till you’re 65 because you can always start now. Options, options, options! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: What is financial freedom? Why many people don’t reach financial independence The 4 mechanisms of early financial independence The premise behind First to a Million About BiggerPockets What Dan’s investment portfolio looks like
Episode Highlights: Achieving Early Financial Independence Financial freedom is the ability to pay your living expenses with passive income or sustainable asset withdrawal which is a concept where, for instance, if you have a million dollars in an index fund, you can take money out. In other words, financial freedom is the ability to live your life without having to work. You don't have to do the "9-5 till you're 65" grind for the next three or four decades because there are other options of doing things differently with your money that allows you to reach early financial independence. If you don't like that option, then don't do it. You can work till you're 65 and there's nothing wrong with that. But there are other options that you should know about so you can at least decide what's best for you. You could be making a good income but it's about what you do with that money and what's your savings rate. Are you spending 100% of your salary or are you saving 50%? If you can get higher up on that savings rate, and you reinvest that money into index funds, real estate, or some other passive income stream then becoming a millionaire is not difficult. It's simple, but it's not easy because it takes sacrifice, some extra work, planning, and persistence. The 4 Mechanisms of Early Financial Independence 1. Spend less. Don't spend as much money as everybody else. Have a nice savings rate. 2. Earn more. Create a side hustle. Get an extra job or start a small little business in your community. Find a way to earn more money. 3. Save the difference. 4. Invest your savings wisely. Know what you are investing in and understand it. Put your money to work for you as early as possible and let it do its compound effect where it grows over time.

Calvin Chin is the co-founder and CEO of Zen Coast University, an online coaching mastermind that builds people’s knowledge in real estate investing. Calvin grew up thinking he should get a corporate job and get his head down until he retired at 65 with the white picket fence and two and a half kids. He was doing what society thought was successful. Eventually, he started investing in real estate, now having options other than just the W-2. He then scaled up to apartment complexes with 88 units across the United States. Having climbed the first mountain of achieving personal success, Calvin now climbs his second mountain – the legacy piece. He co-founded Zen Coast University, along with his fiance, Jennie, so they can teach people how to create passive income and thereby create a passive impact on the community and the world. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: The second mountain How he made his first deal Being comfortable with being uncomfortable Tapping into the power of affirmations Getting clear on your purpose so you can prioritize things Habits are what builds the outcome The power of mentorship and coaching
Episode Highlights: The Second Mountain A Second Mountain is a book written by David Brooks who shares this idea of how human beings embark on a journey from the first mountain to a second mountain. The first mountain is all about how you can be fulfilled in life – finances, family life, friends, faith, philanthropy, etc. The second mountain is the legacy piece – what you want to be remembered for. What's the impact you can make not only in your life, but in your family's life and your community's life, and the world? What can you do to give back to other people? Coming in with Abundance When people increase income, their expenses go up too. Figure out how you can lower your expenses. If you can get financially abundant yourself, that shows because you're not hungry and you're not thirsty for the commission and you can talk authentically. Being Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable The times you're uncomfortable is when you have the most growth. If you're comfortable, you're being complacent, and complacency is a dangerous word because you can't be comfortable and complacent. Fear is a big component of it. But fear is an emotion that your body gives out as a defense mechanism. When you do the thing you’re fearful of, you realize it wasn’t hard after all. And so, there’s that self-worth aspect as well. Priority and Productivity People that are productive are productive because they're fueled by priority. And they're prioritized based on their purpose. When you get really clear on your purpose, then you can begin to prioritize the things in your life. When you begin to prioritize the things in your life, you become productive.

If you've been to several retreats, you're probably familiar with the emotional high that you get from attending them. You leave the event feeling on fire. Then that fire fades over time as the mundane schedules of life set in. But just because the intensity of your fire is fading doesn't mean you're failing. It doesn't mean that you're not succeeding or you're off course. And so, my goal for this episode is to help you hold on to that mindset. Today, I’m sharing some reflections on my first ever Tony Robbins event called Unleash the Power Within. It’s amazing how those people who attended the event were surrounded by empathetic witnesses – all in alignment with the same goal of getting in a peak state and unleashing the power within. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Goal setting and strengthening your relationship with your goals Creating a compelling vision of your future Creating the right habits Changing your environment The shape of success Celebrating the gains Revisiting and re-evaluating your goals Building courage by embracing problems and taking a leap of faith
Episode Highlights: Setting Goals The purpose of a goal is to inform you in the present and give you direction with what you should do today. Goal setting strengthens the relationship with your goals. When you want to grow a relationship with a person, you have to spend time with them, listen to them, and build time and experiences with them. But how many times do we set goals and never visit them? When we don't write them down and review them from time to time, we end up falling back into our daily routines and habits. Then as time passes, we haven't made any advancement, or if there was any, only minimal. Without a goal, you're just a drifter reacting to what life throws at you. Therefore, you need to create a compelling vision of your future. The Shape of Success The shape of success is like a hockey stick. People will succeed so slowly that they feel like they're failing. There is incremental change little by little over time. Then those efforts compound, and all of a sudden, you're successful. However, since most of us don't like that feeling like we’re failing, we switch gears and chase another shiny object. Changing Your Habits What's the one habit that if you would eliminate would cause your momentum to shift and exponentially move you towards your goal? And what's the one power habit, such that by creating that habit, everything else would become easier, or unnecessary? F.M. Alexander says people don't decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures. BJ Fogg also talks about habit stacking in his book, Tiny Habits, wherein creating small habits will compound over time that allows you to make a gigantic leap. Willpower doesn't work. Therefore, how do you make sure you do the behaviors long enough so that they become habits? Habit is nothing more than a repetitive behavior that becomes automatic. Changing Your Environment The number one influencer of your behaviors is your environment. Design the environment that supports the behavior that needs to create habits necessary to become your future self and for you to live to your full potential. Celebrating Progress Everybody wants to get rich quickly, but life is long. And so, you want to build endurance by finding joy along the way. Make a small amount of progress every day then celebrate it. Happiness is not the destination, it's actually the start and the foundation of the journey.

According to statistics, around 70% of first-generation wealth is lost by the second generation over 90% of the time and they're “back to shirtsleeves” by the third generation. This is where the adage "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" actually came from, which puts the family legacy at risk. So how do you reverse this cycle and not become another statistic? In this episode, Don Wenner reveals the real secret to success, happiness, and fulfillment – the power of intentionality. You have to make sure you’re bringing it into all eight F’s of your life – faith, family, friends, freedom, fun, film, fitness, and finance. An expert in scaling high-growth high-profit businesses, Don is the founder and CEO of DLP Real Estate Capital, a multi-faceted private real estate investment company that specifically invests in workforce housing in the hope to impact the workforce housing affordability crisis, the jobs crisis, the “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” crisis, the legacy crisis, and ultimately, the happiness crisis. Don is also the host of the IMPACT podcast, and the author of Building an Elite Organization: The Blueprint to Scaling a High-Growth, High-Profit Business. Over the years, he has grown his company by over 60% every year for 15 years; today, they’re worth over $2 billion – and still growing, thanks to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How Don stumbled into the real estate world The concept of "shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations" How to show up as an intentional father and mentor to your kids Instilling a growth mindset in your kids Doing a life assessment to keep yourself on track in the 8 F’s of your life
Episode Highlights: The Concept of "Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves in Three Generations" Most first-generation wealth creators work really hard. They come from "nothing" to creating and building wealth. But they're so focused on wealth creation that they fail to appropriately raise their children in a way they understand how to use wealth wisely. Instead of encouraging them to accomplish anything, they enable them to do nothing. In other words, they don’t invest in their kids and put them in a position where they could use their wealth to do great things. Wealth then becomes something that holds them back from ever doing anything. They're lazy, entitled, and they lack motivation. They basically blow through the money that it's either all gone by the second generation or by the third. Aiming to reverse this cycle, Don has set up a prosperity, family wealth, and legacy membership group to help first-generation wealth creators figure out how they can reverse this cycle and not be another statistic. Having the ability to teach your kids how to develop grit and a growth mindset is also crucial.

It is impossible to take a single step forward without shifting the balance. To liberate yourself from the state of inertia and stressful, destructive habits, you must get up-close and personal with your self-image, understand your current and desired circumstances, and develop communication that will let you FOCUS. To grasp the merit of self-actualization, one must understand that practical, spiritual, or mental success is a journey that starts with introspection. In episode 19, Jerome and I walk you through the six levels of liberation from the permanent stressors in your life. From the anxiety of failure, to a sheer inability to challenge the status quo, we are led to believe that transforming our personality and skillset is an instant process. That is the fundamental reason behind many failures. We must not overlook the underlying process that fuels the transformation of our minds. Jerome is an exceptional apartment investor, real estate expert, and a host of the dreamcatchers and Myers methods podcasts. He has built a multi-million-dollar portfolio in the housing industry from scratch, using the irreplaceable power of insight. His body of work, equally as compelling as it is diverse, has led him to unique revelations that transcend the field of real estate. With his assistance, we have uncovered a concrete structure to achieve the ever-elusive state of fulfillment and drive - By following the gradual steps of self-identification, communication, and the relentless effort to manifest your personality in your labor. These steps will free you from various doubts, mind-numbing stressors and bring your mind to an utter harmony of willpower that yields results. Join our combined efforts to dissect the importance of building your self-image that is clear and intoxicating to people around you. A well-defined and realized self-image will reap the rewards of envisioning a happier, more consistently productive, and engaging life. It will assist others to get on the same wave and harmonize with your specific plans, constructing indestructible communications and relationships in the process. This is the reason that I can’t stop contemplating my thorough discussion with Jerome. With just a small nudge, we have built a bridge towards something special - a hidden formula of mastering one’s fears, inertia, insecurities and stress. All of the above can be methodically removed by applying a single, simplest methodology of grasping one’s self-image. This, in turn, kicks off a journey that will let us understand our hidden “design” flaws and provide us with tools for a quality repair simultaneously. If you’re tired of experiencing life without ever risking the shift of balance and you’re ready to start the fruitful six-level journey of self-image realization, listen to episode 19.

We can only move to the light we’ve uncovered inside of ourselves. Being aware of your programming, beliefs, and the way you are living verses the life you envision unlocks choices, opportunity, and happiness. To learn more about creating awareness, the law of attraction, the power of being, and how to match the frequency of the reality you want, tune into episode 18. A lot of changes have been brought into my world recently, and I knew I needed to do something different, mainly that I needed to re-evaluate my day to day patterns to see what I needed to change. Ron Patulski’s name has been coming up in a lot of my conversations recently. Ron is a CPA, business owner, and business performance coach. In my conversations with Ron, I have gained so much insight and awareness on where I am at on my journey to having the life that I want, as well as the programming that I need to shift that is not working for me. This is why I asked Ron to have a conversation with me. A lot of people do not realize that everything is energy and ultimately starts with them. You have choices and do not have to live a life influenced by your past or beliefs. Ron’s message is universal and it is my hope that our conversation can be a resource on the path to building your good life. Listen in as we take a deep dive into the quantum physics perspective. We breakdown the cause and effect module, and how this plays into our day to day. We discuss the importance of defining your happiness, being aware of your programming, perception verses projection, and using the law of attraction to manifest relationships, happiness, and the life you desire. Ron helps others understand a level of happiness that exist and coaches them on where to start when becoming clear on who they want to become and achieving their happiness. From working with Ron, I had an epiphany on my own life as a business owner, how I interact with people, and the type of people I am attracting. What I realized was that I needed to use my energy and mind to attract the type of people that I wanted to work with. Instead, I have attracted other people fighting from my same perspective and programming, and our compounding issues prevented our teams performance. This is why I am obsessed with my conversation with Ron. The awareness from our conversation is bringing this to my attention. Awareness helps me shift what is not working for me, and creates the choices, opportunity, and energy change that is crucial to my key relationships and good life I envision. When you’re ready to start taking action on manifesting the reality that you want, listen to episode 18.

Learn more about the emotional development that you need to undertake as a leader to unlock you and your team’s full potential through collective power, insight, conflict, resolution and commitment in episode 17. In my conversation with Mark Divine, we take a deep dive into the 7 commitments that forge elite leaders in Mark’s book, “Staring Down the Wolf” - courage, trust, respect, growth, excellence, resilience, and alignment. All of these habits build on each other and work together in a polygraphic manner to strengthen your skills, establish flow states of mind, and bring out the best in you and your team. What stands out and motivates me is that Mark has been able to tap in, establish heartfelt connections, and provide service by building elite teams through his commitment to self mastery. Just like Mark, it is my passion and desire to help people develop their own emotional development and intelligence so that they can evolve, continue to experience immense growth, and ultimately start living the good life.

“Things which are most personal, are most universal.” You are not alone on your journey , and having a safe space where you can connect and grow with like minded individuals will support you on the path to living from your true self and building the life you envision. If you want to learn more about overcoming shame, uncovering your purpose, finding your voice, and moving forward in motherhood, dating, and life with confidence, listen to episode 16. Staying open minded and in a constant state of discovery to be exposed to different ways of thinking, lifestyles, and the journeys that people take on the path to their good life is so important to me. It’s conversations like these that help me re-solidify the importance of protecting my mind and input so that I can maintain a positive and accountable mindset. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to connect and have a conversation with Claire Brown. Claire and I are both parents, entrepreneurs, and real estate business professionals. One thing I can not relate to Claire on, is being a single mother and living with all of the overwhelming challenges of responsibility, fear, and shame. Despite life’s obstacles, today Claire is achieving balance and success in her personal and work life. Claire share’s with me her story on overcoming heartbreak, fear, and shame after her divorce, and how she’s been able to gain flexibility, freedom, and confidence in her life since then. Claire has now been working and succeeding in real estate with Keller Williams for 6 years, started a podcast, has written a book, has been a real estate and business coach, and has created a Power Women community for single mothers and women to connect, learn, and grow together. I am truly wowed and motivated by Claire’s story, mindset, and achievements. It is my hope that you too can be inspired, take on new insights, and learn from her journey. Claire also shares with me more about her background, her journey to where she’s at today, and her successes. We break down her book, “Ring or Fling: The Power Woman’s Guide to Self-Discovery, Setting Standards, and Dating with Confidence”, as well as the “Power Women” Facebook community that she created as a safe place for single mothers and women to have a voice and support, while learning and growing from each other. We discuss how Claire manages the mindset that’s required to be a “power woman”. Claire shares with me some tips on how to overcome the overwhelming feeling of being smothered by obligation and responsibility to become more flexible, and establish more freedom to succeed at a high level. We also cover overcoming your past experiences and fears, being vulnerable, and living from our authentic selves. Claire is truly inspiring. She’s a woman who is succeeding and winning in motherhood, her personal life, and her business, despite having a full time partner. I believe other women can gain clarity and establish new found inspiration on overcoming their own obstacles, shame and fear, to ultimately find their voice and purpose in life after listening to our conversation.

You don’t grow from success. You grow from failure. When we fail we’re discovering what doesn’t work, and we are taught what not to do in the future. If you’re ready to hear more about letting go, moving on, and learning from failure, listen to episode 15. My conversation with Steve Sims was powerful and inspirational. The energy and excitement he brings is absolutely contagious, and I loved every minute of it! Steve Sims is the founder and CEO of the luxury concierge service Bluefish. In 2017, he published a book, “Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen.” Steve shares with me more about himself, what he’s been up to, and how things are going with his consulting and coaching company. Steve tells me about the powerful moment in his life at age 15, where he saw the vision of his life. He talks about the effect that it made on his choices from that moment, and how he was ultimately able to break the cycle. He now helps others break the cycle by identifying their failures, keep moving, and take action on what they’ve learned from those failures. We break down the key points in Steve’s book, “Bluefishing: The Art Of Making Things Happen”. I read this book prior to having our conversation, and was absolutely blown away and honestly had wished I would have read it 10, even 20 years sooner. One of my top three values that’s also discussed in the book is initiative, so I could really relate in terms of taking action. We discuss finding your passion, motivation and ignorance, and the importance of not listening to naysayers, negative self talk and sabotage. We talk about the benefits of being comfortable in uncomfortable situations, as well as seeing the silver lining in all situations. Steve and I share our breaking and turning point moments in life where we felt like we gave into our negative self talk, focused on the wrong things, and in a sense “sold out”. It was great to connect and relate to him on this growing experience in my own life. I love Steve’s analogies and insights. I’ve taken away so much value and insight that i'll be implementing on my own path to building my good life. As Steve said, now is a beautiful time to focus on the most greatest asset you’ll ever have which is you. So when you’re ready , tune into episode 15.

Most people are unsuccessful because they’re not clear on the vision of their future and unwilling to endure the monotony of success. Are you willing to put in the work necessary to define your future self, establish your financial number, and ultimately create the good life you desire? If you’re inspired to get connected and learn more about how you can start working towards manifesting your freedom goals into reality, tune into episode 14. Vlad Kats and I have a conversation, where I learn more about his background, his 15 year journey to where he’s at today, and his accomplishments. Vlad started his journey right after graduating college as a business major, where he started working for the US government. It wasn’t until 2005, that he uncovered his love for helping people achieve their financial goals when he began working in real estate. Today, Vlad is passionate about serving others and helping entrepreneurs grow their wealth and business through the Thrive Real Estate Network. In this community, he works with some of the top real estate business leaders on their journey as they work towards their business and freedom goals. The community is a place where these leaders can grow and learn together. I can really resonate and connect with Vlad’s obsession to serve and the purpose behind what he does. Just like the Thrive Real Estate Network, It is my mission and passion to provide you the community to learn and grow from each other as we are all working towards operating from our future selves and building the life we desire. Vlad and I break down the difference between flexibility and freedom, and how these analogies go hand in hand. We discuss the importance of getting clear on your future self and freedom goal, and how we can connect with other high level individuals based off our freedom number and journey. We also share the ways we are teaching these values and philosophies to our own children to help set them up for future success, change the future generation, and make an impact. I admire Vlad’s work and how he has been able to pivot in such a short period of time. I have watched and respected him from afar and am honored to have finally been able to dig a little deeper and have this one-on-one conversation with him. This is why I love having these conversations. They expose me to new ideas on the path to my own good life and this conversation is a perfect example. We mold into the conversations and connections we are making which is why they are crucial to the path of our desired life. When you’re ready to get connected and tune into the conversation, listen to episode 14.

You are NOT a product of your circumstances. You ARE a product of YOUR CHOICES. Are you ready to break free from your limiting beliefs and self sabotage? If you want to learn more about the power of perspective in overcoming challenges, and navigating through the path to joy and success in spite of adversity, tune into episode 13. In my conversation with Tommy Sigman, I learn more about his journey, struggles, and how he has been able to persevere and achieve in his life after growing up in unfortunate circumstances. Tommy was kicked out at the age of 13, and then given a second chance after being placed in foster care. He is now thriving, having written his own book, starting a non profit, and succeeding academically in school. Tommy shares with me how shifting his mindset, adapting gratitude, and making the best out of his situations got him through and changed the course of his life. I could really connect to this because out of my 3 core values in life, gratitude is my top priority. When you express gratitude in your life, you feel more joy, build stronger relationships, have more positive experiences, and deal with adversity. Tommy and I take a deeper dive into the framework of his new non profit, that is designed to teach kids from low income communities and foster care the skills and resources to help them thrive psychologically and physically in life. Tommy’s passion is to help them ultimately break the ties to their earlier experiences in life, and paint a positive, clear vision for their future. We also discuss Tommy’s book, “The Greatest Advantage”, where he shares his journey through neglect, instability, child abandonment, and getting a second chance in life through foster care and a new mindset. He shares the lessons he’s learned from these experiences in hopes to guide others to new heights of possibility, help them break past their self-sabotaging tendencies, and overcome the idea that they are a product of their circumstances. I left my conversation with Tommy absolutely blown away by his wisdom, outlook, and successes despite the cards he has been dealt. I am truly inspired by his passion, and desire to help other children dealing with similar unfortunate circumstances. I am also passionate about guiding young adults and foster children to be set up for success in their future through Quantum Leap. I am truly excited and grateful for the opportunity to connect with him, have this powerful conversation, and be given the chance to help him on his mission in the future.

Do you desire a deeper relationship with those who matter most to you? Do you understand the importance of being intentional in developing those key relationships, and having the right conversations that pull you towards the vision of your good life? If you want to gain insight on your own key relationships, what you can do to develop and strengthen those connections, and how sweetening those relationships can really make a difference, listen to episode 12. In my conversation with Paige Cosby, she shares her journey with me to where she’s at today; From working at Mary Kay in her early 20’s, to uncovering her passion and achieving growth and successes in the Real Estate industry today. Paige also share’s with me her leadership, motivation, successes, and personal experience in blending her and her husband’s families after forming their new marriage together. Paige talks about her experience at BOLD, a training event that teaches real estate agents powerful tools to thrive in their business. This experience completely shifted her mindset and outlook on her blended family, and how she’s been able to adapt what she’s learned not only at home but in her business too. We discuss how this mindset shift brought on her inspiration and creation of her passion project, Blended Bloopers, an online community for people inside blended families. She’s not only been able to connect with other blended families, but she’s also been able to repair relationships within her own blended family. Listen in to episode twelve as Paige and I go a little deeper into Blended Bloopers, blended between work and family, that she created around understanding the dynamics of blended families, learning to compromise, and fostering those relationships in that environment. Paige’s hope and mission is that the page will be a community where they can keep each other encouraged and mindsets lifted. I can truly connect to Paige’s mission. Her and I are both blessed to create the conversations that are necessary to others in order for them to grow and experience new ideas and opportunities. People grow into the conversations around them, and it’s important to show up and put yourself in the right ones that support you on the path to the life you envision. What’s different about my conversation with Page, is that I left it wanting to adapt a whole other dimension to what “living the good life” means to me. What I have learned is that although you may have the time and resources to do what you want to do, having the right people and connections to do those things with is a crucial part in living your best life. Paige is a lifelong friend of mine and it has been inspiring and motivating to watch her OVERCOME obstacles, even when self inflicted, along her journey. We went to school together and even rented suites in the same office park. Even with that being said, I was still able to take immense value and insight from our conversation in episode 12 that I will take away and apply to the relationships that matter most to me, my vision of the life I desire, and plans for The Mentee.

If you want to learn more about establishing balance, reducing stress, and living your good life by working and connecting with motivated and talented people, listen to episode 11. In my conversation with Gene Rivers, he shares his journey with me to where he’s at today;31 years in the business, and how he was able to recover and upscale his real estate businesses after the devastation of hurricanes in the 2000’s. Gene hasn’t lost a single business. I am truly fascinated with his story, as I too went through similar hard times in my business after my town flooded in 2016. I remember listening to Gene talk on Geoff’s podcast, The One Thing back in 2017. This conversation changed the way I think about being a business owner and the possibilities to create the life I desire. I’ve learned that time is the most valuable thing and it is crucial how we spend it. I find value in my conversation with Gene because he helps me understand better how I can be more intentional with my choices and making sure they’re aligned with my vision. Listen in to episode eleven as Gene and I go a little deeper into the Quantum Leap. This changed my perspective on the seasons of life and the importance of keeping up with the things that are important now while leaving the rest, so that I can establish balance, success, and ultimately create the life that I want to live. We discuss how Gene manages his work dynamic by leading others through accountability, how he is able to attract high level employees to create opportunities, growth and success, and how he curates conversations so that people can continue to continuously grow and up their game in the world of real estate and business ownership. I know I left this conversation with inspiration, and valuable takeaways that I can’t wait to implement in my life and vision for The Mentee. I am grateful for the opportunity to help like minded people on the path to their good life by exposing them to these conversations, new ideas, opportunities and connections!

Not only that, but he has been able to build his business at a high level through relationships, while establishing balance in his personal/work life with his family.

Are you tired of not making progress in your life? Do you define yourself based on your past which keeps you from becoming who you desire? Do you want to change your life but don’t know how? If so, this episode is for you. In episode four, my conversation with Dr. Benjamin Hardy breaks down the formula for shattering limiting habits and behaviors and other awesome content from his book, Personality Isn’t Permanent. This book has been called “the most important self-help book in decades” and “a must read for anyone who wants to live a more fulfilling life.” Ben offers bold strategies for personal transformation, as well as practical, science-based advice on how to design your current identity based on your desired future self and ultimately make decisions through your new identity to confidently operate from your future self. We talk about how to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns, the importance of redesigning your current relationships and environment that pull you towards your future self rather than leaving you stuck in the past, and how to reframe traumatic experiences to support your new narrative toward your future success. If you’re ready to start creating your desired future self and achieve the life you envision, Listen to episode four today!

In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, we sit down with our new host for season four, Wyatt Graves, to dive a little deeper into Wyatt’s Journey and what inspired his vision and mission with The Mentee. Wyatt shares his story in 2016, where he suffered tremendous devastation due to flooding. Around 2017 he was introduced to the founder of The Mentee, The Mentee Podcast, and The Inner Circle mastermind community, Geoff Woods. This is where he first heard the quote by Jim Rohn, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Being inspired by this quote, as well as Geoff’s journey of going from employee to entrepreneur, Wyatt knew he wanted to go all in. He also talks about the concept and inspiration behind The Inner Circle Mastermind community, and his partnership with Jake Dreyfuss, who will bring immense value to the mastermind community. Wyatt tells us about all of the powerful, like minded connections, opportunities, events he attended, and steps he took along the way to be inspired and propelled into hosting The Mentee and wanting to help others re-discover their purpose, upgrade their five, and ultimately build their good life. Wyatt’s goal is to create a community for everyday people to be exposed to new ways of living their lives , and connect them with mentors to have high level conversations and support towards their good life. Wyatt shares some of the topics that will be covered on the podcast, and what to look forward to in season four.

Building trust is a key skill to have in any relationship. Be it with a mentor, employee, spouse, friend or customer. This week we get to dive into what is pushing the frontiers of leadership with trust, leadership and culture global expert Stephen M.R.

Welcome back to the show, are you smiling right now? I hope you’ve intentions for a wonderful day today. I am sending you good vibes. On today’s episode we are pulling back the curtains of our private community called the inner circle. It’s a monthly membership where you get access to the action takers and high performers who are a part of this community. As well as weekly training us and the things Geoff and I are learning from our mentors. In our call today we talk with a newer member of the inner circle. He has taken massive action on upgrading his 5 and it snowballing. He and I recorded this conversation weeks ago, and just today he emailed me saying that one of the mentors he reached out to that he thought would never respond to his email - just replied and agreed to mentor him. I’m not making this up. So, let’s give you a little taste of what happens when you get into a supportive community that encourages you, genuinely cares about your success, and helps you find your highest leverage activities so you can make meaningful progress on your career or business. With that, let’s jump into my conversation with Jason Issac.

If you asked Geoff Woods why he started the Mentee Podcast, he will tell you that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. He would also tell you to be more interested than interesting and start coming from a place of value. We believe that surrounding yourself with those who build you up and coming from a place of value comes down to making moments that matter. Today’s guest, Jon Vroman, was inspired by this idea. He founded the Front Row Foundation and wrote the #1 bestselling book The Front Row Factor, and he has dedicated the rest of his life to helping others, especially people who are fighting for their lives, create moments that matter. In this episode we shared with you 3 keys on how to make moments that matter: 1. First, how do you make others feel like rock stars. 2. Second, who are your Top 8 and what are their dreams. 3. Third, how can you start shining your light today.

This episode is going to add a ton of value to a lot of you out there. Geoff really dive deep with questions that challenged the clarity I have around my business and moving forward. If I’m not able to clearly define and share what my vision is.. for my business… then I will continue to fail. In this episode we dove deep into these specific areas: 1. The most successful people achieve their goals by doing this one thing. 2. If you’re struggling to grow, you must identify the GAP and get to a whiteboard. 3. and… Do you know what the point of a goal is? As Geoff and I carried on our conversation… I realized I know why my clarity has gotten a little muddy. I went away from the things I started doing at the beginning of this year. I stopped working the muscle that has been proven to give results. For me and my monkey mind… that shiny object, entrepreneur spirit…. needs to head back to the whiteboard and re-visit my Disney. We hope you enjoyed this episode…every time Geoff and I connect there is a huge value exchange. And our only hope is that you are receiving just as much value as we are.

Where are the areas that you have knowledge or you can straight teach them?

I sit back and reflect on the most important aspects behind The Mentee as I search for someone to take over for Season 2. One thing I’ve learned recently is the power of building a system and then stepping away, not only to let someone else run what I’ve created, but for them to receive value out of the structure that’s already in place. This is at the forefront of my mind as I search for the new mentee and the host of the next season of the podcast. Please, let me know your BIGGEST takeaways from the podcast, the things that you just couldn’t live without from episode to episode.

What does it take to grow a $100M company by age 26? The backbone of that growth, as you can probably guess, is the importance of mentorship. Jessica Mah was introduced to me by Mike Dillard (episodes 47 & 71), and at the time of our call I honestly had no idea of her company or her success… I just wanted to honor Mike’s intro and get to know her. We really went down the rabbit hole on this chat, so enjoy episode 101! http://www.indinero.com (Check out Jessica’s accounting & tax services company, inDinero) If you’ve enjoyed the episode, please subscribe to the Mentee podcast on iTunes and leave me a review for the show!
