Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Michael Foster about his view on the real estate market and his book Military House Hacking.  Michael first got involved in investing to build something for himself and his future family. He realized at 25, he had nothing of value to carry forward after the first quarter of his life.

The more knowledge he built, the more books he read and podcasts he listened to, he realized, building for his future was way easier then he judged it to be. Once he changed his mindset, visualized what he wanted, and set his goals, Michael painted a picture of what financial freedom looked like!

Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Luisa Zhou about how to get your business to make SIX figures by building your audience.   When Luisa was growing up, she dreamed of being the CEO of a major corporation. The child of Chinese immigrant parents, she was taught that a steady job and paycheck were the ticket to the American Dream -- and Luisa bought in. She wanted it all -- the power, the corner office, the big paycheck, and a closet full of Manolos. So she did the normal climb: and attended a prestigious university (Princeton) and majored in something safe (engineering) that would guarantee her a job out of college. By the time Luisa was 25, she was the big kahuna of a team managing millions of dollars in business each year. From the outside, she was really “making it” -- and she had the six-figure salary, high-rise condo, and proud parents to prove it. But on the inside, she wasn’t happy. So Luisa went all in and started her own business teaching people the digital

Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Michael Neely about how to produce your own podcast. Long before Michael took up writing and coaching, he used to be a knight in shining armor.

While it was quite nice to eventually see the name Michael Neeley in film, stage, and television credits, there was still something missing. Michael felt unfulfilled – not about what he was getting, but about what he was giving. So, while he never became an “A” List actor, his profession was still very fun and rewarding, spanning more than twenty years before he finally decided to shift his purpose.  Michael's son, Tristan, was born in 2002 and he decided to leave the L.A. smog and raise him in clean air and clear skies.  His life was taking on a different meaning, and he began searching for what he was meant to do, who he was meant to be, a
