Fuquan Bilal is a multifaceted individual, excelling as an author, investor, and business owner, boasting a wealth of knowledge spanning various asset classes and investment strategies. At the helm of a blended fund, Fuquan spearheads initiatives that involve purchasing properties and implementing value-added strategies, thereby positively impacting communities across the United States. His company's investment portfolio encompasses multifamily properties, mortgage notes, single-family rehabs, among other ventures.
However, Fuquan's journey to success hasn't been without its share of challenges. In 2001, he endured a harrowing experience when he was shot five times during a botched robbery. Surprisingly, Fuquan regards this incident as a pivotal turning point in his life, viewing it as the catalyst for a new direction. Subsequently, in 2008, he faced another setback, losing $2 million of his personal funds. Compounded by a divorce and custody battle, these trials tested Fuquan's resilience and fortitude.
Remarkably, these adversities have instilled in Fuquan a profound sense of gratitude for life's simple pleasures, often overlooked amidst the pursuit of material success. They have also prompted him to embark on a journey of introspection, leading him to delve deeper into his core values and beliefs. As a result, Fuquan emerged from these challenges with a newfound perspective, one characterized by resilience, humility, and an appreciation for life's intrinsic blessings.
"Every adversity brings growth, so I embrace them like I'm the guy when a building is burning down, running towards the building, not away from it." - Fuquan Bilal
"If it requires you to get up early, then do it. That's for you. Miracle morning. If you guys read that book, that's a great book. Also, if you can get that extra 2 hours in the morning to yourself, it's just a whole game changer." - Fuquan Bilal
"Success is a daily optimized experience. If you can create every single day that's sustainable over time, that's success, an optimized daily experience." - Fuquan Bilal

Does the struggle of juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship sound familiar to you? Have you been told to simply work harder or figure it out on your own in order to find success in both areas? The stress and burnout from trying to do it all without any support can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling drained and discouraged.
In this episode, our guest is Tanya Alvarez, who at age 25 started a New York ad agency using credit cards and went from zero to 1 million in revenue in the first year. She's overcome a whole lot in her life. She's 45 now, and we chat a good bit about health struggles that she's been through, although perspective is critical with regard to that and how frankly, her sister has much more severe health struggles.
I always wanted to be like, in your 20s, especially from my background, there was a little chip on my shoulder that I wanted to prove, be that entrepreneur, right? But then I was like, wait, what about if I work myself? What's the cost? It's kind of like running, right? I wanted to run in high school to run again to division one, ended up at division three, even though I got full scholarships to division one because of the education. And then I had to think, do I want to be a professional runner? Well, luckily, I didn't, because I would have figured out later on in my life that I wasn't able to full on. But the whole point is, what's the cost that you're willing to do? - Tanya Alvarez

Former professional basketball player turned entrepreneur, Dre Baldwin, shares his inspiring journey to success. From selling merchandise online to establishing his brand and coaching business, Dre's story is a testament to the power of self-belief and taking action. But just when everything seems to be going smoothly, a challenge arises that threatens to derail his path. Will Dre be able to overcome this obstacle and continue his journey to success?
In the early years of the new millennium, a young Dre Baldwin found himself wandering through the aisles of bookstores, drawn to the sports and human psychology sections. Little did he know that these seemingly unrelated interests would shape his journey to success. It was during his college years that Dre stumbled upon a network marketing meeting, where he was exposed to a whole new way of thinking about entrepreneurship and money. Intrigued, he dove headfirst into the world of personal development, devouring books by renowned authors like Napoleon Hill and Robert Kiyosaki. These books opened his eyes to the power of mindset and challenged his preconceived notions about wealth and success. Inspired by these groundbreaking ideas, Dre began to carve his own path, combining his passion for basketball with his newfound knowledge of personal development. He started creating content online, sharing his skills and mindset with a growing audience. As his career as a professional basketball player took off, Dre also found himself becoming an entrepreneur, creating products specifically tailored to his dedicated followers. Today, Dre Baldwin is not just a former professional athlete, but a highly sought-after business coach and speaker, helping others tap into their potential and achieve their goals. His journey from adversity to abundance serves as a testament to the transformative power of mindset and the importance of embracing new ideas.

In this episode, we explore the transformative power of resilience and how it can help you overcome setbacks and self-doubt.

Join us as we delve into the inspiring story of Dovid Feldman, a remarkable figure in marriage therapy and a true beacon of resilience.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Let’s get to know Dovid Feldman, a remarkable figure in marriage therapy and a beacon of resilience. For Dovid, the journey toward success wasn't a traditional one. He initially pursued music, dabbled in multilevel marketing, and even substitute teaching, only to realize his true passion lay in relationships. Now, he’s a reputable marriage therapist powered with his personal conviction that every marriage has the potential for greatness. With his unique experiences, Dovid brings an unparalleled perspective to the table, instilling hope and resilience in those he serves.
Dovid also ventured into entrepreneurship where he made approximately $375k per year back in 2003. He’s been dealing with Fortune 500 companies selling Blackberry phones way back then which was a great hit until he discovered that one of his suppliers was a fraud and caused Dovid a loss of $500k. He has masterfully navigated the stormy seas of life's trials. Donned with the hat of a devoted husband, selfless father, and a trusted marriage therapist, Dovid spends his days working in the trenches of marital conflicts. Dovid wrote his own book 52 Tweets to a Great Marriage which was based on 52 most popular tweets and wrote essays about each one, blog-style essays with in-depth explanations of the concept. His sheer belief in the possibility of a happy, healthy, and thriving marriage for everyone guides his work, and his continuous mission is to help individuals realize it. But Dovid doesn't just speak; he lives his theories. From his personal journey of fighting financial struggles in his youth to pivoting from ad hoc counseling and a career in tech to full-time marriage therapy, he personifies resilience.

“It's not a sprint. Understanding that it's going to take time and not putting so much pressure on yourself, I think is a big thing. And, understanding what is it that you want out of being an entrepreneur and making that happen.”
“Pretend you're signing on a new client and walk them through every single step of the process and as if you were that client from beginning to end, and then look at every single piece that needs to be developed along the way. Whether it's accounting or not. Really, that's just a matter of empathy and putting yourself in the client's shoes. Trying to understand their perspective.”

From rags to riches and back again, Robert Napolitano's story is the ultimate tale of resilience. The sudden loss of everything he had worked so hard for left him feeling like a complete failure. But with the support of his loved ones, he picked himself up and learned valuable lessons from his failures. Today, he enjoys the freedom that his renewed success has brought while prioritizing his family's needs. Join us as we explore his journey and discover how embracing failure can lead to new opportunities. Don't miss out on this inspiring tale of learning from mistakes and investing for freedom.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Meet Robert Napolitano, a dedicated father and successful entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the mortgage banking and real estate industries. Having weathered the harsh financial storms of the past, Robert has learned the invaluable lesson of embracing his failures to push through challenges and create a life of abundance. As the founder of Grit Partners, he has touched over $1 billion worth of debt, providing positive benefits for his investors and homeowners alike. Through his journey, Robert has discovered the power of resilience and the importance of investing for freedom.
“And so we measure our success in failure. So I don't subscribe to the mindset of don't do things wrong, don't take risks, stay away from failure. No, it's okay to fail. Embrace it, learn from it.”
“Failures don't have to stay as failures. There are successes if you look beyond them. So don't let it go to waste. You need to look through these roadblocks and this adversity to see the solution on the other side. As long as you can keep moving forward, you will get to the other side always.”
Financial Abundance and Freedom: Investing for a Better Tomorrow
Pursuing financial abundance and freedom allows entrepreneurs and investors to create a life that affords greater flexibility and control over their future. This goal shouldn't be about accumulating wealth alone; instead, focus on making smart investments to accumulate resources efficiently and effectively. Investing for the future enables one to conquer both short-term concerns and long-term aspirations, maximizing their potential for a fulfilled life. In his conversation with Jamie Bateman, Robert Napolitano discussed his views on financial success and the importance of investing for freedom. He emphasized the need to adapt in an ever-changing world and to target investments that offer greater flexibility and autonomy. Robert's advice to invest for freedom is essential for those looking to create financial stability, achieve their dreams, and leave a lasting legacy.
The Birth of Responsibility: Taking Ownership for Success
Assuming personal responsibility is a vital aspect of achieving success and overcoming adversity. But, understanding the need to own your actions and decisions can serve as a turning point, providing motivation and the impetus for positive change. By taking responsibility for their choices, entrepreneurs and investors can become more accountable, enhancing their personal and professional lives. During the podcast, Robert Napolitano spoke about how taking responsibility for his children inspired him to renew his faith and become a more responsible parent and fiduciary for investors. This sense of responsibility spurred Robert on to rebuild his financial position and create a more secure future for his family and clients. Embracing responsibility is a key aspect of personal development that builds resilience and helps drive success.
Risk Management: Mitigating Risks for Successful Investing
Proper risk management is essential for successful investing, particularly in distressed real estate and passive income generation. Rather than avoiding or ignoring potential risks, entrepreneurs and investors should seek strategies to effectively manage or mitigate them. This proactive approach better prepares them for uncertain circumstances and enhances the potential for long-term success. In his conversation with Jamie Bateman, Robert Napolitano stressed the importance of focusing on risk management. Drawing on his own experiences of financial adversity, Robert offered valuable insights on harnessing potential risks and using them to create profitable investment opportunities. His life settlement fund, which complements his distressed real estate investments, exemplifies this focus on mitigating risk and safeguarding investors while pursuing financial growth.

We got to become comfortable with it. Because what I know is I can't change what happened to me, but I can change how I look at it. And if I talk about it more, that helps me change how I look at what happened.”

Discovering a sense of purpose and resilience to face adversity
Facing adversity in life often leads to personal growth and the discovery of an individual's true purpose. Life's hardships can enable one to develop a strong sense of resilience, as they learn to overcome various obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side. It is crucial for individuals to maintain a positive mindset and seek help when needed, in order to successfully navigate through challenging times. In the podcast, Rick Yarosh shares his inspiring story of recovering from a life-altering injury while serving in Iraq. Despite being confronted with a devastating situation, he remained hopeful and consistently focused on healing and self-improvement. Through perseverance and a continued positive outlook, he discovered his sense of purpose in advocating for kindness and reducing bullying.
Overcoming challenges and finding a new purpose after injury
Recovering from a severe injury or disability can be an incredibly challenging process, both physically and mentally. During this period, it is essential for individuals to be patient with themselves, and to seek the necessary support and resources required to overcome their obstacles. In many cases, a new purpose in life can be found by learning to adapt to the changes resulting from the injury. Rick Yarosh's story serves as a powerful example for individuals who find themselves in a similar position, as he bravely transformed his traumatic experience into a catalyst for positive change. By founding the Sweethearts and Heroes organization, Yarosh used his personal journey of recovery as a means to inspire and help others facing adversity.

“You have to create a creative, abundant type mindset of problem-solving. Even if you're a logical person like myself, you can still be creative with your problem-solving. And I think that's needed as an entrepreneur.”
“You have a lifetime to live life and achieve everything you're doing. So you can put your business on pause for a day and go spend time with your family and you're going to be just fine because there's not an end goal. It's your life you're living and you don't have to measure yourself from other people's success.”
“So the money is not important, but you still need money to experience life, to have the finances, to have powerful relationships, to have good health, to even typically, oftentimes to have a good relationship with whatever faith you're involved in. If that's not solved, all those things typically suffer.”

In this episode of the From Adversity to Abundance podcast, host Jamie Bateman interviews Maureen McCann, co-founder of Spartan Invest and Atlas Real Property. Maureen shares her journey from being a W2 employee to becoming an entrepreneur and the ups and downs that came with that decision and the challenges she faced along the way. She also talks about her passion for fitness and building a business, as well as being a super mom to her three kids. This inspiring conversation offers hope and encouragement to listeners who may be considering a similar path.
“I have learned this, that if you have a plan B, then you don't really execute on plan A right. You've always got that little safe.”
"Everything that you want is on the other side of everything that you fear. It is just doing it anyway."
"You constantly have to be one-upping yourself."
“It comes from that burning desire from within to really want to do something different, um, really want to take action.”
"If your money, wherever it is now in your ETFs or your 401k or IRA, if it's not earning more than 11%, you're growing broke slowly."
“When you have a, when you can live a financially worry-free life, not to worry about paying your bills because you've got steady streams of income coming in that cover your monthly expenses and then some, then you get to live your passionate life.”
“I have learned in business that if you do what you say you're going to do, you will have success.”
Adversities Maureen had to overcome:
· Having a scarcity mindset onset when she decided to start her own business
· She experienced divorce while starting up her first company and 3 kids all under the age of 5
· Serious financial struggles to the point that she doesn’t have any money left in her account to pay her taxes (or even groceries)
· Dealt with the infidelity of her husband and found out that he has a hidden child outside marriage
· Growing up in a not-wealthy family
· Leaving her pharmaceutical job and all its benefits to earn on a commission-basis only
Abundance Maureen created:
· Juggled out starting her real estate business and being a single mom
· Being able to use her adversities as motivation to pursue life goals
· Putting up your very intentional self about what you wanted to achieve
· Was able to invest in herself in order to get closer and equipped for the success that she wants
· Started with 30 properties to now almost 2100
· Achieving a revenue of about $60M last year
Lessons from Maureen’s adversities:
· Transitioned into an abundance mindset
· Learned that if you want to get something different, you have to be able to do something different
· Got curious enough to force her to take a leap of faith and action toward her goal
Maureen McCann shares her journey of transitioning from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. She explains that she had to reprogram her mindset by replacing old ways of thinking with new thoughts and wiring. To achieve this, she recommends reading books and taking action, including reading Carol Dweck's Mindset. McCann's story highlights the importance of changing one's mindset to achieve success and happiness in life.
McCann also emphasizes the importance of doing one's job well, even if it's not their dream job. She shares her experience of working as a pharmaceutical rep and how she listened to the doctors she was selling to, which led her to invest in rental properties and start her own real estate investment company. She encourages listeners to pay attention to the people around them and understand their motivations and interests, as this can lead to unexpected opportunities.

But just when it seems like he's achieved his ultimate goal, something unexpected happens, leaving him with a difficult decision to make. Don't miss this incredible story that will have you on the edge of your seat.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Meet Jim Harshaw, an inspiring individual with a background in wrestling and coaching. As an NCAA Division One All-American athlete and the youngest Division One head wrestling coach in the country, Jim knows a thing or two about perseverance and hard work. He's also an internationally recognized TEDx speaker and a personal performance coach, guiding others to align their goals with their values and embrace failure for growth. Jim's down-to-earth approach and relatable story make him a perfect guest for those striving for success in athletic and personal endeavors.
“If you focus on that outcome versus just fully being present in the moment and bringing every ounce and every fiber of your soul and your being into that moment, then you can perform at your best.”
“When we take the focus off of ourselves and put it onto others, that's when the best version of us shows up.”
“Believe. Stop doubting yourself. Doubt the doubters, not yourself.”
Adversities Jim had to overcome:
· Losing a tournament that might have catapulted his career faster
· Not fully believing in yourself
· Unable to navigate fully in putting up a business that resulted in it being shut down
· How he got affected mentally and emotionally (his entrepreneur relationships and his marriage)
· Financially challenged due to business failures
Abundance Jim created:
· NCAA Division One All-American athlete
· Being the youngest Division One head wrestling coach in the country
· Internationally recognized TEDx speaker
· Be able to put up several start-up businesses
Lessons from Jim’s adversities
· Being able to believe in yourself, your true potential and seeing the big picture
· Learning to give up on the outcome or things you can’t control and letting go of failure
Four (4) things that were in place then that allowed Jim to perform through failure:
Be clear on what success looks like
Have goals aligned with your values
Environment of excellence
Have a plan to follow through
Ideal Client
Identifying one's ideal client is crucial for any business owner, coach, or entrepreneur. It helps in tailoring products, services, and marketing efforts to effectively reach and engage the target audience. By understanding the unique needs and desires of ideal clients, businesses can create an enhanced customer experience and build long-lasting relationships. Jim Harshaw revealed that his ideal clients are athletic-minded, goal-oriented individuals between the ages of 35 and 55 who believe they have untapped potential. As an executive coach, Harshaw helps these clients achieve clarity on their goals, devise measurable plans, and guides them towards success. His approach illustrates the importance of understanding and catering to the specific needs of one's target audience to create a significant impact and foster growth.
Keys to Success and Failure
Understanding the factors contributing to success and failure is essential for growth and improvement. Success typically stems from an unwavering belief in oneself, setting goals that align with personal values, being surrounded by excellence, and having a clear vision and plan. To address failure, it is crucial to embrace setbacks, learn from mistakes, and use the experience as a stepping stone towards success. Jim Harshaw offered valuable insights on this topic during his interview with Jamie Bateman. He shared that there were four critical factors that allowed him to perform through failure and achieve success – clear vision, goal-setting, an environment of excellence, and a solid plan. Harshaw's story highlights the importance of understanding and applying these key concepts to overcome challenges and reach one's full potential.
Letting Go of the Outcome
Focusing solely on outcomes can lead to unnecessary pressure, anxiety, and self-sabotage. It is vital to detach from results and concentrate on the process in order to perform at one's best. To do this, individuals can practice staying present in the moment, avoiding self-centeredness, and placing their attention on others. These techniques can create a more fulfilling experience and steer people away from the potential pitfalls of journeying only for reward. Jim Harshaw spoke about the importance of letting go of the outcome in both sports and public speaking. He found that staying present and focusing on others helped him perform better and reduced his anxiety. For example, by concentrating on the speaker before him rather than rehearsing his speech, Harshaw remained grounded in the moment. His experience underscores the benefits of staying present and allocating focus to the here and now.

In this episode, you will be inspired by Brian’s story and learn more about legal services that his firm offers. We cover:
Brian Gallagher’s journey began with a military background, working as a prosecutor in the Air Force and handling significant cases that ultimately shaped his career. As a former partner at a 30-attorney firm in Annapolis, Brian recently branched out on his own, establishing a solo practice. Adept at building organic client relationships, he credits his success to strategic networking and genuine connections. Brian's approach emphasizes the importance of quality over quantity in the realm of professional relationships.
“But you got to find that line between on one side, you got to be uncomfortable, push your boundaries, learn new things, get a little bit scared, but obviously not throw caution to the wind.”
“America runs on small business, and maybe that's not for everybody, but think you would be doing yourself a service if you approached your job, trying to position yourself to have the option of starting your own business, meaning not being entirely reliant on others for work.”
Adversities Brian had to overcome:

· How his mental health got affected after his deployment in Iraq
Abundance Brian created:

Transitioning from Military Service to Civilian Life
Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be particularly tough, as veterans are faced with adjusting to a new lifestyle and career trajectory. Finding a sense of purpose in your new life is essential, as well as seeking help and support when needed. Be open to transformative experiences and the lessons they bring, as they can guide you in finding your next steps in life. Brian Gallagher shares his personal experience of transitioning from the U.S. Air Force to civilian life, including the challenges he has faced in adjusting to a new career and lifestyle. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help for mental health issues, despite the continued stigma in military circles, and how therapy has played a crucial role in his journey of self-discovery and growth.
Starting Your Own Business
The decision to start your own law firm can be both rewarding and challenging. To succeed, it's essential to have a clear vision and a strong support system in the form of mentors and colleagues. Seek balance in life and remain motivated to learn and adapt as your business grows. Also, be prepared for challenges that come with running a small business, such as accounting and hiring decisions.

From 15 cents in his pocket to a millionaire in one year, Jim Brit shares his discovery of the core belief system that keeps us stuck and how to overcome it.
In this episode, you will be inspired and motivated to:
Meet the inspiring Jim Britt, a seasoned professional speaker and founder of Cracking the Rich Code. With an astonishing 44 years of experience, Jim has captivated audiences across 30 countries, helping them break free from limiting beliefs. His expertise lies in assisting people to uncover and detach from the core beliefs that hinder their success. Despite coming from a humble background, Jim has built a thriving career as an entrepreneur and has positively impacted countless lives through his transformative coaching. Jim was mentored by Jim Rohn and his best-selling book Cracking the Rich Code was endorsed by Tony Robbins.
“If you want change in your life, if you want something better, if you want to earn more money, if you're an entrepreneur, the first thing you have to have is a desire to change. And that's got to be a burning desire, not just a passing thing that, well, one day I'm going to do this. I'm talking about that burning desire.”
“And what I learned is that if you want to accomplish something more than what you already have, you've got to do something more than who you are. In other words, every life level, every business level, every income level requires a different you, requires a different mindset. You see, it's a different mindset to go buy a Chevy Vega versus Lamborghini.”
Six (6) Elements that are Central to the Mindset of Becoming Successful:
Have a deep desire to change
Make a decision
Take action
Being willing to feel uncomfortable, being willing to step out of that comfort zone and become somebody different
Learn to let go
The resourceful to source, to love. Source equals love, and then love is what creates that passion, which really kind of starts the process all over again
Adversities Jim had to overcome:
· Raised in a poor family
· Was forced to work at an early age (as early as six years old)
· Had to go through 23 different banks for a $4000 loan to be approved
· Experienced home foreclosure, repossessed both vehicles, no food on the table and only had 15 cents on his pocket -- all these with having a wife and a child
Abundance Jim created:
· Successful professional speaker for 44 years
· Best-selling author of several books
· Established coaching career for about 40 years
· Became a millionaire in just 1 year
Lessons from Jim’s adversities
· Discovering we all have a core belief about ourselves that acts as an anchor that keeps us stuck. And sometimes we have a core belief that moves us forward as well. He focuses on the ones that keep us stuck. (And the problem with it is people don't know that they have it.)
Decision - committing to the goal
Committing to a goal is a pivotal step in the journey towards success. Once a clear objective has been identified, it is essential to make a firm decision to achieve it. This commitment acts as a guiding force and keeps individuals focused on their goals even in the face of adversity. Strong decision-making skills are vital for all entrepreneurs, as they help to streamline actions and prioritize resources in support of the desired outcome. Jim Britt highlighted the significance of commitment throughout his conversation with Jamie Bateman. He shared how unwavering dedication and determination played a key role in his ability to achieve extraordinary results, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Jim emphasized that successful individuals must leave no room for doubt, excuses, or escape routes once they have made a decision. By adopting this mindset, they can overcome obstacles and stay on course towards achieving their goals.
Being Resourceful - finding a source of love from which to build your success
Resourcefulness is a valuable quality for entrepreneurs, enabling them to harness their creativity, ingenuity, and adaptability. By leveraging available resources, whether financial, human, or intellectual, and drawing on a foundation of love and belief in oneself, individuals are better equipped to find solutions to problems and forge new pathways toward success. This mindset fosters a sense of abundance and possibility that propels entrepreneurs to achieve their goals. In his podcast appearance, Jim Britt emphasized the importance of being resourceful on one's journey to success. He shared how his own belief in his abilities and aspirations enabled him to access resources and support, which facilitated his rise from humble beginnings to notable accomplishments. Furthermore, Jim stressed the importance of surrounding oneself with a network of loving, supportive people, as this nurtures a positive environment where resourcefulness can thrive. By cultivating resourcefulness and harnessing the power of love, individuals can propel themselves towards success with determination and resolve.

Mental Health and Entrepreneurship
The mental well-being of entrepreneurs is essential for sustained success and personal balance. The stress and pressure associated with starting and managing a business can take a toll on mental health, and acknowledging these struggles is of the utmost importance. Being open about these challenges and seeking support is necessary for managing mental health while leading a successful entrepreneurial career. During the podcast, Chris Steer bravely shared his own mental health struggles, including his experience with depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. His openness highlights the importance of breaking the stigma associated with mental health issues in the business world, and he encouraged leaders to be both strong and vulnerable. Steer's willingness to share his experiences serves as a reminder that even successful entrepreneurs can face mental health challenges, and acknowledging and addressing these struggles is essential for maintaining a balanced life.
Overcoming Adversity
Perseverance in entrepreneurship often means overcoming adversity along the journey. Challenges are inevitable, but facing them head-on and learning from these experiences can foster resilience and personal growth. The ability to adapt and find creative solutions in the face of setbacks allows individuals to emerge stronger and better prepared for future obstacles. Thus, embracing adversity is a crucial aspect of entrepreneurship and personal development. Chris Steer's story is a prime example of overcoming adversity through perseverance. He shared his experience as a Division 1 lacrosse player at Johns Hopkins, where he initially faced disappointment and struggled to manage his ego. However, instead of letting these challenges deter him, he employed a strategy of outworking everyone else, ultimately becoming the team captain and gaining valuable leadership skills. His journey demonstrates that embracing adversity and remaining resilient can lead to meaningful personal growth and lasting success.
Building Boundaries
Establishing boundaries is vital for entrepreneurs to find balance and maintain mental health in their professional and personal lives. By setting clear expectations and limitations, individuals can focus on their priorities and create space for personal development and growth. In addition, setting boundaries with oneself and others can lead to more productive and fulfilling relationships, as it allows for greater mutual respect and understanding. Chris Steer highlighted the need for setting boundaries in his coaching approach, focusing on the emotional and mental well-being of leaders. The boundaries he sets with clients promote a sense of purpose and self-awareness, ensuring that they have the necessary tools to navigate challenges and maintain good mental health. By emphasizing the importance of boundaries, Steer underscores the need for entrepreneurs to maintain balance, invest in personal growth, and prioritize their well-being.

Tune in to find out how Corey grew his businesses by copying others, using other people’s money, and is spending more time than ever with his family by creating time freedom.
On using other people’s money:
“It takes money to make money. But it doesn't always take your money.”
On workaholism and creating time freedom:
“I was saying things like, well, I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my family. That's a lie. I was doing it for me, right? There was an expense, a price to pay for doing it the way that I was doing it because there was no balance. I didn't create any things that gave me time freedom or really any freedom. It was just work, work, work.”
“No kid ever worries about how much money dad makes. The only currency they trade in is time.”
“Put your vision first, then you build your work life to work around it. It has to fit in the cracks, right? So if you put your family and the things you're really believe are important, and then you put your business on top, it has to fit in the crack.”

A few short years ago, Geoff Seow was in an 8-year haze. That’s what he calls his drug and alcohol addiction years. Today, he has 3 degrees and runs two businesses. In this episode, he shares lessons from how he transformed his life. In August 2020 he decided to turn his life around.
“ Marijuana cut a lot of ambition and drive out of my life.”
He took action to tap into his ambition and started an Instagram account called Your Daily Purpose. Though he initially started it to keep himself motivated, it reached 3000 followers in 6 months all because he was being authentic and investing the time to truly get to know people. At his job, he realized he was spending more time answering his Instagram DMs than he was doing his actual job.
“Everybody's using social media, so you have to use social media to create quality conversations, but not in the sense of just creating conversations to sell, because people do that all the time. But creating conversations as in creating a network, creating a global network of people that you know from around the world.”
Eventually, he started an apparel company and a life coaching business. In the episode, he talks about how to overcome addiction, when to take the plunge into entrepreneurship, and why you want to be selective about who your clients are.
“Focus to the point where you stop doubting yourself.”
“But when you do decide to change something, It's gonna suck, it's gonna hurt, but you have to be able to embrace it, but not necessarily love it. But understand that suffering for a purpose is how we create meaning in life. It's called striving. “
Adversities Geoff Seow had to overcome:
-- Spent most of his time in “haze” duing his time at university as he suffered from drug addiction
-- Parental bullying
Abundance Geoff Seow created:
-- Grew an Instagram community from 0 to 3000 followers in 6 months
-- Realized his passion for personal development
-- Started 2 businesses
Lessons from Geoff Seow adversities
-- If your why is powerful, you will take the steps you need to take. Your commitment and your purpose go hand in hand.
-- Decide how your job is serving and whether you need it to continue serving you before making a decision to quit it.

In 10 years, Anna Kelley went from $700,000 in debt to an 8-figure net worth real estate mogul. Being in tremendous debt wasn’t the first time she hit rock bottom. As a child, she grew up in households with abusive men and had to stay in women’s shelters with her mom. Her tough childhood only made her more determined to outwork all of her friends.
“I realized that if I wanted a different life than what I had as a child if I didn't want my children to be in an abusive situation or to spend evenings in a women's shelter as I had as a child if I wanted better for myself and my family, I had to be willing to do whatever it took to succeed and to get myself out of that situation.” (08:09)
Her grit eventually landed her high-profile careers at the Bank of America and AIG. Whereas most people would just call her lucky - she disagrees:
“People say, okay, you're lucky, right? They don't understand the backstory and all the adversity to get where you are. But I do believe that when you're prepared and preparation meets opportunity - that's what we call luck.”
Getting jobs where she works with ultra-high net worth individuals opened her eyes to what’s possible in life. So, how come she got into so much debt? And how did she climb out of it?
Anna Kelley is a multifamily syndicator. She invested in her first property in 1998 and exploded in the real estate space in the last 10 years.
Adversities Anna Kelley had to overcome:
-- Grew up in section 8 housing
-- Spent evenings in a women’s shelter as a child
-- Was $700,000 in business debt with no income source
Abundance Anna Kelley created:
-- Graduated early from college
-- Worked with ultra-high net worth individuals in the Bank Of America and AIG
-- 8-figure net worth, 250 units
Lessons from Anna Kelley’s adversities
-- You have control over how your life ends up, you have to be determined to do what others won’t do to get to where you want to get to
-- Timing matters. You can be the best at what you do, but if you start a business at the wrong time, you can shoot yourself in the foot.

With a break from the regular programming, in this episode I share parts of my story as Josh Kalinowski, former pro baseball player and now CEO, interviews me. We talk about what it’s like for me to raise an autistic son, the growth of my mortgage note business and loan servicing business, what I do to prepare myself for life’s inevitable challenges, and my goals for 2023 - all in light of some of the most important lessons I learned from interviewing more than # people on their journey from adversity to abundance.
“I think of Jocko Willink and extreme ownership - people will ask him, well, it's my fault I got cancer or something like that, and what he says is no, it is not necessarily your fault, but it's your, problem.”
“Trying to focus on others, I truly believe, will give you the most purpose and the most value in your own life.”

One of the risks of being wealthy is that your children might turn out to be trust fund babies spoilt by money. Even worse, 91% of wealth transfers fail in two generations. Shawn Barberis’ technology helps families keep their money for longer. He’s one of the few people in the world who solves this problem. It took a devastating MS diagnosis for him to shift his mindset and start cracking a problem that people face.
“Prior to 2010, my entrepreneurial spirit was, let's go make money and help people. And post 2010, my entrepreneurial spirit was, let's go change the world and hopefully we can make money.”
But, building a solution that helps families build and protect long-lasting generational wealth is expensive and he had lots of naysayers along the way. There were people who told him he was wasting his time and money, and there were business partners that told him they don’t want to be part of his vision. So he started charting the path on his own.
“I believed that what I was doing was the right thing. And I believed that we were gonna impact and help families and in turn the world to help them funnel their philanthropy and get them more engaged in philanthropy.”
Shawn Barberis founded More Than Money 360 in 2007. This is the story of how he overcame his serious diagnosis, took care of his family, and built a one-of-a-kind company that’s “not on every corner”.

We’re all looking for ways to broaden our investments in a down market. We’d all like to keep profits trending upward despite a pending recession, so what are the options if adding new properties or more fix-and-flips opportunities are harder to find?
In this episode of Accelerated Real Estate Investor with Josh Cantwell, he’s being joined by the Founder of Labrador Lending, Jamie Bateman. Jamie became an active real estate investor in 2010 and specializes in buying and selling mortgage notes. In fact, he created a portfolio of forever passive income by acquiring over 75 mortgage notes with an excess balance of $5 million across 20 states. He’s also the host of the From Adversity to Abundance Podcast in which Josh Cantwell also graced the show a while back.
In this conversation, Jamie walks us through how he broke into this unique field, creates structures to share his profits (and risks) with passive investors, and what makes his strategy so different and allows him to scale and de-risk his portfolio.
If you’re curious about mortgage note investing, this episode is for you. And if you’d like to learn more from Jamie, simply head over to https://labradorlending.com/ebook to get a free copy of his e-book, The Power of Mortgage Note Investing!
Key Takeaways from Jamie Bateman:
What a mortgage note is and how to invest in them for yield?
Why investing in defaulted notes for value-add yield is a lot like doing a fix-and-flip?
How Jamie finds mortgage notes?
What makes investing in mortgage notes different from multifamily syndications?
How Jamie uses partial and hypothecated notes to scale and de-risk his investments?

Neil was a bit immature in his 20s. Impulse and greed were his north stars and they didn’t get him far. He married the wrong person and started charting a destructive path. After recovering from unfaithfulness and divorce, Neil met the woman of his dreams. But, not too long after they married, bankruptcy and a health crisis were waiting for him. His new wife needed medical support, and nobody was bringing in income. Expensive medical bills left him no choice but to start being innovative about how he creates income. It was at this crossroads that he realized that finding purpose in others motivates him.
“I changed from more of a greedy self-pursuit that led to those problems to more of a person who thought that there's a need that needs to be filled and I'm going to fill it because it's for someone else. When purpose changed, everything changed” (26:17)
Today, $500,000 revenue days are something Neil is used to in his Amazon FBA business selling private label products. He also helps people build a similar business model that helps them cash in an almost automated 6 figure income. So, if he were to go back there’s nothing he would change. This is the story of how his life transformed.
Tune in to uncover how being driven by something bigger than yourself can change your life and learn how you can make money building an easy exit business.

Wanting to show his alcoholic parents that he didn’t need them to be on top of the world, Paul Aragon found himself in prison. He spent his childhood making $40,000-80,000 weekly selling drugs and eventually ended up with 7 felonies. But it turns out that prison was the best thing that could’ve happened to him. It’s in there that he found God and started rebuilding his life. Today, he runs his own multi-million dollar roofing company.
This is the story of the rocky roads Paul took to overcome health, legal, financial, and relationship adversity.
“It's not all gonna come together right away. You're gonna have to work at it. It's gonna take daily habits and daily discipline; and if you could do a few things each day to impact your business and impact your financial future, that's what you gotta do” (47:33)

By 12 years old, Steven had experienced 5 divorces in his family and changed parents several times. At 40, he now raises real estate funds north of $100 million as a Managing Partner of Integrity Holdings Group, owns 1000 units, and found God. Throughout his life, he has been battling two conflicting beliefs: that he can do what he does better than anyone else, and the thought that he’ll never be good enough. This is the story of how he bridged the abandonment, instability, and hardship that riddled his childhood to become an entrepreneur with a self-sustaining support system.
“I'm sure if you interview a bunch of entrepreneurs, we could probably tend to agree that you become this overachiever because you feel maybe a little less than - like you have to prove it to somebody.” (20:28)
Getting charged with 7 felonies and later realizing that he was doomed to be a bad employee unfolded the chain of events that led to a life of highly profitable entrepreneurship. Steven has been running Integrity Holdings Group for 12 years. His company raises capital for large multi-family and commercial real estate projects and hands the funds over to reputable operators.
Tune in to dive into his journey from adversity to abundance and discover why he realized flipping real estate wasn’t good for him, how he reduces his tax bill and why he spends 5 figures on masterminds.
“I don't think you could talk about adversity without the benefit that comes out of it and what lessons you learned from it. I think that for me was what planted the seed of entrepreneurship - those formative years experiences, and all of those years thinking that there is this other way of life that I see And then there's this struggle and instability over here, but how do we avoid that? And is that just purely by chance, or is that tactical and intentional? And I get to determine what path I take.” (18:05)
“The lie of the world that they try to get you to believe is that it's more risky to start your own business than it is to go work for somebody else.” (34:04)

At 48, Mark Livingston found himself divorced with very little money to his name and nothing saved up for his kids. It was a wake-up call that he couldn’t rely on traditional savings vehicles and Wall Street to prepare him for retirement and secure a good life for his family. Instead of letting his setbacks define him, Mark used his 35 years of experience as a corporate executive and CPA to turn his life around.
After investing in land flipping and realizing that it takes too much of his time, he founded Match Real Assets - an investment management company that helps investors find lucrative passive and high-performing real asset investment deals. He’s creating opportunities for others that he previously needed himself.
His latest project involves extracting helium from natural gas by purchasing an operational natural gas field and adding value through the use of advanced helium-extracting technology. With his extensive knowledge of financial regulations and a strategic, long-term approach to investing, Mark has proven that it's never too late to start building a better future.

Being born to teenage parents and working for peanuts as an X-ray technician, James Webb never dreamed he’d one day be a business titan, investor, and philanthropist worth many millions of dollars.
(26:08) “There's a recording of me in high school, and if I hadn't heard of myself, I wouldn't believe it, but they're asking questions at my church about, what are you gonna do after graduate high school? And there's this little, tiny voice that says, ‘I'm gonna change the destiny of my family.’”
Tune in to unravel the tumultuous and incredible story of an underdog, who despite all odds, did indeed change the destiny of his family by starting with nothing and ending up with 33 gyms, 28 imaging centers, 1000 employees, and 10s of global business partners.
After breaking the cycle of generational poverty, he’s now set on creating generational wealth for his family that will outlive his grandchildren.
(51:26) “94% of all wealth is long lost by the third generation. That is caused by family disagreements, not by bad investments”
James Harold Webb is a philanthropist, mentor, and investor.

Matt Izzo is a transformation expert, a holistic fitness coach, and an Ironman athlete. He spent most of his life being obese and depressed. He had low self-esteem and self-limiting beliefs, which held him back from unleashing his potential. Then, he transformed himself into the positive role model he is today.

Join Matt as he brings Jamie up to speed with his incredible story. Now Matt is focused on helping others transform themselves to live their best lives.
“You have to know how to treat yourself with unconditional love. And treat yourself with compassion for when you're not making the mark, but hold yourself accountable, demand more from yourself, and go out and execute that.”
“If you believe in yourself, are committed to something, and show up consistently, you will be successful.”
Tune in as Matt and Jamie talk about:

Bry Shields, an insurance sales producer at HUB International in Alabama, founded Shields Insurance Agency in 2017 before selling it to his current employer a few years later. Bry sold his company for over $1 million. Insurance was nothing new to Bry. His career has been in insurance ever since, even after he graduated from college.

He never imagined that the company he was making at the time would be something he would sell within a few short years. Tune in as Bry shares his journey in the insurance industry, from how he started in the insurance industry to taking a massive pay cut, to building a very lucrative book of business of his own.
“You can modify your behavior to offset inclinations that you have, but you have to know yourself well enough to know that.”
“Try to not associate your identity and your value as a person with your success or the outcome of your success. It is not tied to that.”
Tune in as Bry and Jamie talk about:
· How Bry started in the field of insurance
· What made Bry to go out on his own
· Views on having a side hustle while building a business
· The aftermath of buying a book of business
· An overview of the first 2 years of the business
· Bry’s massive income hit and major obstacles and stress
· How income was cut by 75% when he launched his business due to the business debt incurred

· Selling the business and becoming a sales producer again
· Lessons Bry learned from his experience
· Not being able to get the results that you have hoped or even planned
· Was able to significantly grow his business –getting an additional 50% net income annually

No one becomes successful overnight. People around us simply seem to work and work. Eventually, they succeed. Consider Brecht Palombo, the man behind the investing weekly #AltReports. In business, he has achieved great success. But his life wasn't a smooth ascent into a trajectory of achievement; rather, it was marked by many twists and turns. Brecht always worked three jobs but was never good with money. He got to the point where he got eviction notices for not paying rent and had a car repossessed when he was 21. He was good at making money but had no idea how to manage it. Brecht then decided to get into real estate. In 2008, his traditional real estate sales went down from $220,000 to $19,000, doing the same amount of work. He had all different kinds of expenses and had tons of debts with no revenue at all for a couple of years. After a year and a half, he had nothing.
He got to the point where he filed for bankruptcy and learned tremendous humility as he struggled through the ignominy
of business debts and foreclosures. So much that he had no choice but to seek shelter from his mother and his wife and children to cope with the predicament he was in. To get out of the situation, Brecht looked for a way to earn money
again, where he learned to sell data. In 2009, he had his first software product even though he didn’t have a technical background. Despite the company's success, there came a time when he lost interest in talking about the same topics, so he decided to sell the software as a service (SaaS) app he had spent the better part of a decade developing. His company was making $300,000 in the last couple of years before he sold the business. The best part was that he was spending very little time working in the business. After the exit, Brecht and his family drove off with no schedule and camped, helping him recenter his life and making him feel more worthy and successful.
Brecht's journey as an entrepreneur and investor has not been without its share of obstacles, but he has met each one head-on and emerged stronger on the other side. This has encouraged him to take a more thoughtful approach to life and work in pursuit of what matters most. That despite any obstacles you encounter in life, like seeking shelter from your parents as an adult, it is fine as long as you know how to navigate yourself from there. Brecht engages Jamie in a conversation rich in anecdotes of business hardships and the lessons that may be learned from them. These include dealing with cash-flow issues, facing an unanticipated economic slump, and so on.
Quotes:
“Instead of just getting up and grinding away the computer every day, I have to be much more deliberate in what I was doing. I would have to only do the things that mattered. That allowed other people to do what they could to run the business, which was a major letting go period for me.”
"I haven't been able to get over the feeling that now I have more money than I've ever had before, it could all disappear in a moment. It has never left me.”

Matty J, or CEO Matty J, or “Mr. Document the Process,” joins Jamie to discuss adversity he has overcome pertaining to entrepreneurship and personal humility. Growing up, Matty was suspended from school and kicked out of his house. He has also dealt with challenges pertaining to personal pride. Since experiencing these challenges, though, Matty has grown his following and his wealth massively. He is all about faith, family, experiences, as well as creating opportunities, coaching, documenting, structure, marketing, and renting exotic cars.
Matty started selling candy during his high school days as his first entrepreneurial experience but was then suspended from school. He later got into party promotion and then numerous other profitable, creative businesses. He is most known for his success with car rentals, which started through Turo, a platform that allows people to list their vehicles and get access to a market of individuals who want to rent that vehicle.
At the height of what he thought was “success on his own,” he decided to step back a bit, learn the importance of accountability and humility and accept the fact that he still had a lot to learn. Also known as “Mr. Document the Process” because of his love of systems, frameworks, and processes, he is now a business consultant and coach. Matty J is a husband and a very passionate man who loves interacting and experiencing life with other people. He loves to share his knowledge and best practices for life in general.

Mark Podolsky, a.k.a. The Land Geek, joins Jamie to discuss how his world came crashing down during The Great Recession, and how he rebounded to be happier, healthy, and wealthier. Through the adversity of losing half of his income overnight and the ensuing soul-searching process, Mark realized that his view of his self-worth had been tied directly to his ability to make money. In 2008, he was living the life. He had everything he was supposed to want—the huge house, the full-time nanny, etc.--yet he found himself unfulfilled. Now, he sees the pursuit of money as a game, and he has a proven track record of consistently winning this game in a healthy way.
Mark is a husband, a father of three, a professional land investor, a financial freedom coach, and owner of Frontier Properties.

Matt Izzo has lost 75 pounds. Three times. The third time something permanent happened. He underwent a holistic transformation and has kept off the weight for 5 years. What’s more, he is now training for an Ironman.
Previously, Matt was a relatable, average guy who found himself in an unhealthy, depressing environment where he felt stuck. His default mindset and focus were negative and spiraling downward. He was in a chronically negative state without even realizing it. For a while, Matt thought he hated himself because he was fat. Through the lens of hindsight, however, he came to understand that he hated himself AND he was fat. It wasn’t until Matt addressed the underlying mental and emotional issues that he was able to make a sustainable change. Five years ago, he committed to healing and getting healthy for good. And it to say he transformed himself would be an understatement.
Some of the key takeaways from this episode are:
This episode is both practical and inspirational, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!

Luis Miranda is a part-time computer programmer and part-time investor. When it comes to adversity, Luis may just set the bar based on what he has been through. Luis grew up in Peru with no running water and no electricity. On top of that, he went through years of molestation and physical abuse, dealing with instability and a lack of safety and trust for his entire childhood.
Eventually making his way to the U.S., Luis bounced around as part of the foster-care system but still suffered from trust issues and a lack of direction and hope. Among other things, he turned to selling and using drugs.
Tune in to hear how Luis took ownership of his life and changed his path. He is now a married, successful W-2 employee and investor. But his path to abundance was not a straight one. Even recently, after Luis had "made it," he dealt with a serious lack of happiness and fulfillment. He is now focused on adding value to others and practicing Zen.

Brent Bowers is an active real estate and land investor, as well as business owner and coach. He is a former U.S. military officer--having deployed to Afghanistan--who now lives an abundant life by all accounts. However, Brent is not immune to hardship and has gone through his share of struggles.
