Welcome back to The KarWell Chronicles! In this episode, Sarah and Ethan dive deep into the mindset shifts that transformed their entrepreneurial journey—from building businesses from scratch to embracing the powerful strategy of buying established companies. 🚀
We peel back the curtain on real-world statistics that will change the way you think about risk, success, and failure in entrepreneurship. Why do most solopreneurs hit a ceiling? How do you build for an exit instead of getting stuck wearing every hat? And what about stepping out of your comfort zone, overcoming limiting beliefs, and restructuring your entire life (including going alcohol-free!) to become the leader you were meant to be?
Whether you're a seasoned business owner, a budding entrepreneur, or just curious about personal growth and leveling up your circle, this transparent, no-BS conversation will open your eyes, motivate you, and maybe even make you laugh. Plus, we talk about the journey as a couple: what it means to truly partner with an A-player and why surrounding yourself with the right people is non-negotiable.
🔥 If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re building your business right, how to escape burnout, or if you’re simply ready for a new perspective—hit play now!

On this episode of The KarWell Chronicles, Emily and Sarah dive deep into the current state of the world, navigating tough conversations about politics, free speech, cancel culture, social media, and the importance of open, honest dialogue—especially during turbulent times.
They grapple with the public’s response to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, the internet’s loud reactions, and how society is dealing with disagreement in an age of polarization. Along the way, they share personal anecdotes, the challenges of raising thoughtful children, and the struggle to hold space for differing beliefs within their circles. If you’re craving raw, unfiltered conversation about humanity, empathy, navigating the echo chambers of today’s media, and how to foster real community even when opinions clash—this episode is for you.
Whether you’re exhausted by social media outrage, worried about free speech, or just want to hear two friends wrestle with the gray areas of modern life, tune in for an honest, vulnerable look at what it means to (imperfectly) try to live with love and conviction in a divided world.
🌎 No topic is off limits—expect everything from travel dreams, parenting fears, and media responsibility to conspiracy theories and being “cancelled” for unpopular opinions. Plus, hear about the upcoming Cardwell Chronicles retreat and why civil, in-person conversation with people who disagree matters now more than ever.

Are you feeling burned out, stuck in your business, or questioning if this is really the path to freedom?

You’ll hear about the pivotal conversation that finally pushed Ethan to make a major life change, how they navigated the transition as a couple, what it’s REALLY like to move from six-figure safety nets into new, high-risk ventures, and what they've learned working with both everyday clients and high-net-worth investors.

In this episode, we're going to have a heart-to-heart. We're putting the finishing touches on our very first property together, and it's the perfect time to rewind and share our journey.

With his expertise in economic behavior, Ryan delves into various topics such as insurance costs, understanding your market, and the importance of meticulous calculation of business expenses, including invaluable data and thorough market research.
How to vet a good Real Estate CPA:
1. Do you deal with STRs often and in what markets? - they should be able to rattle off different type of markets their clients are invested in. I know I can name every market in the country.
-
Are they familiar with the business exception to a rental definition under Section 469?
-
Are they familiar with this particular memorandum [https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-wd/202151005.pdf] [https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-wd/202151005.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1kUQrkBH-9Oxr8esioSBrIxiz6r-t74RnEYfxLIgQ32FuBblLBwabcfLw] and how the material participation tests apply to STRs
-
Have they completed tax returns that have cost segregation studies before?
-
Are they away of all the nuances and strategies to save money on taxes other than the ones listed above.
He emphasizes the significance of providing value to others, even if it means offering free services without expecting immediate returns. The episode further explores the intricacies of taxes, legal considerations, and the power of personal branding. Ryan unveils the key strategies to becoming the "person of interest" in your industry, empowering listeners with the knowledge and inspiration to take control of their financial future.

Welcome back! Today's episode is a much more personal episode for us & in all honestly doesn't relate to real estate at all. But what it does relate to is our biggest WHY behind prioritizing building a life that gives us free time. Some of you may know that we lost one of our best friends, Nicole, on Christmas Day this past year to cancer. She battled Leukemia & Lymphoma for 16 months before she lost her fight, and losing her has left a big hole in our lives. But we want to use our grief to create change. Our goal behind this fundraiser is to take Nicole's experience & story to spread awareness behind the disease and be able to help to create a world without cancer. Unfortunately there are so many people in the world that have gone through this before & will continue to go through it and we hope that through this fundraiser we can help to reduce the number of people who are experiencing the pain that we are feeling right now because of this incredible loss. I hope that you are able to gain perspective of Nicole & who she was as a person through listening to our stories, but below you will find a letter written by Jeanne that describes Nicole's story so well.

Hello & Happy New Year! Now we say that with full understanding that it is over halfway through the month of January. The start of the year has been a slow burn for us and once you listen to the episode you may have a better understanding why. Our goals have switched up a bit after the end of 2022 and we are working on getting things put into place to make that happen. With that being said we will be posting 2 episodes a month going forward. We are hoping to structure it where one episode is with a guest who we think will bring value to you and show you different experiences in the short term rental world and one will be just the two of us chatting about life, where we are at in our journey, and goals going forward. Hopefully you guys like the new set up! Thank you so much for being here, we appreciate you all so much and hope to continue to grow our community!

Welcome back to another episode! We caught back up with Jeremy Werden this week on his short term rental journey! If you remember way back to the early this year, Jeremy was the first guest we had on our podcast, so as you can imagine, he has had a lot of updates since then! And if you follow him on social media you know that he has not slowed down at all! He has continued to expand his own investing journey as well as managing units for others, continued his boat rental business, & started on the glamping journey. He also has put out a new tool that can help you to analyze your property better (you can find a link below if you want to try it out!). Enjoy!

Welcome back to another episode! We were lucky enough to chat with the Savvy Design Co girls this week and get some good knowledge about the design side of the short term rental world. We have a special connection with these girls because not only are they from our hometown area, West Michigan, but they started a short term rental specific design business! They have created some incredible designs as well as Lily starting her own short term rental so they have a lot of knowledge to give. Enjoy!

Argest Rentals, run by Steven and Federico, joined us to talk about Airbnb and property management. Steven was one of our first Airbnb relationships and has been a great mentor for us through the process. (Also, Steven was kind enough to create the intro song for this episode)! We had some technical difficulties so Stevens video cuts out for a majority of the episode but don't worry, his audio and knowledge is still there!

Join us as we talk to Matt, or "Matt the Realtor" as we call him, on his journey with real estate and airbnb investing. Matt has adapted too many situations that he has had to deal with and now plugs in at so many levels of the airbnb journey. He has a unique perspective as a real estate broker, especially in a state like Michigan that has so much seasonality, so he has a lot of knowledge and advice to give to all of us. Enjoy!
