El Presidente:
Hail to the Chief! President of the Miami Association of Realtors and vice president of sales for Fortune International Realty Daniel Guerra has some of the thickest business cards in the game (and is certainly NOT over the hill)! Daniel is also one of the few people who can make sense of this insane market, so Juan and Roly sat down with him to have a look in his crystal ball. Can he predict the future? That depends on your margin of error! Whatever the answer, Daniel provides some of the most in-depth and up-to-date real-estate takes, making everyone who listens to him just that much smarter. Tune in!
A former professional Muay Thai national champion and amateur world champion, Jake Poss now coaches Juan (along with a number of other boxers) at his flagship Wolfpack Boxing Club in The Falls. From training with Anderson Silva to flying-knee knockouts, Jake tells the story of his climb to victory while sharing some martial-arts wisdom. Which martial art is best for street fights? Are there “cool” snuff films? What in the world is the Art of Eight Limbs? Obviously, I’m not just going to tell you the answers right here in the description: listen to find out!
Did you know Miami is the Sahara Desert of marine biology career opportunities? Well, DERM biologist Kirk Linaje knew way before either of us; that’s why he founded MORAES. MORAES aims to make Miami the Miami of marine biology through research, funding, and education -all in an effort to bring scientific attention to the beautiful and unique marine ecosystems that hold South Florida together.
Kirk is a straight shooter and a real-life scientician. He sits with Roly and Juan to break down the environmental past, present, and future of South Florida. Should you take a drink from Biscayne Bay? Why are turtles so in love with straws? Should you invest in stilts? You will never know...unless you listen!
Nobody calls him that. In fact, the current managing director of Kraken Middle East operations has never heard of any of the nicknames given to him by Juan. He has, however, spent nearly a decade in the Bitcoin industry, and was picked up by Kraken (the worlds third largest exchange) shortly after having founded the first Bitcoin exchange in New York.
If you want to learn about this mysterious and promising new technology, Austin has you covered. How is Bitcoin like Real Estate? Why is it both entirely traceable and completely anonymous? What does Roly invest in when he gets drunk? Tune in to hear the answers, and to get an in-depth breakdown of one of the world’s most revolutionary new industries!
Marcus and Angel are two of Florida’s famed python bounty hunters. Their job involves finding the enormous, invasive snakes out in the everglades and decapitating them with machetes. They are also biologists, who love nature, and think the devastating effects that invasive species are having on the Everglades might be irreversible.
Is there hope for the everglades? Can our deer navigate the deadly tree islands? What the hell is a Mayan Cyclid? These questions will be answered, and you will get to hear about some of their most chilling encounters with these scaly behemoths. Tune in!
Juan has finally taken the state real-estate exam, but he was hit with a series of unfortunate events. A high fever, downed internet, and an alien calculator all make an appearance.
Did he pass? Will Roly revel in his failure? What does Ruan know about the intricacies of Indian erotica? Find out all this and more in episode 2: The Test!
Meet Juan and Roly. Juan is getting ready to take his real-estate exam, and Roly is excited for him, but secretly thinks it would be very funny if he were to fail. Our hosts give a quick background and a summary of what to expect from the show going forward
