Real Estate Money School

The stock market’s ups and downs, the uncertainty of the economy, and inflation have many investors on edge, searching for something stable. But for those who know how to play it right, real estate has always stood out as a reliable option. So, what’s the trick to making it work, especially when times are tough? Here’s the thing: there’s never really a bad time to invest in real estate—just bad strategies. A good deal is always a good deal, no matter what’s happening around you. Take Joel Miller, for example. He started investing in 1978, a time when double-digit mortgage rates and sky-high inflation were enough to make most people think twice. But Joel’s experience proves that real estate can thrive in any market, as long as you know what you're doing. Real estate is the most forgiving investment vehicle there is. Unlike stocks or indexes, it puts more control in your hands, and there’s always a way to make your money back (if you picked a good deal).  And that’s huge when you’re trying to navigate uncertain

Every entrepreneur, high-powered professional, and goal-driven person has hit a wall they just can’t seem to break through. Whether it's stuck revenue, burnout, imposter syndrome, or self-sabotage, it feels like the problem is external. But here’s the truth: most of those barriers are internal. And the person holding you back? That could be the 7-year-old version of you. Entrepreneurs especially carry programming that dictates every choice we make, rooted in childhood moments when we told ourselves stories to survive. Now, when we hit a ceiling in business, it’s usually because that old programming no longer works. The fix? Go back to that 7-year-old you, rewire those patterns, and unlock new levels of success. So why do so many entrepreneurs end up stressed, burned out, and stuck? How does it impact our health, our families, and our growth? In this episode, I’m joined by Annie Yatch, coach and CEO of NorthStar Leadership. She’ll break down how to shatter your business barriers by rewiring those old childhood

How many mistakes did you have to make before you found success? How much time, money, and energy did trial and error cost you? Now, imagine watching someone else go down the same painful road—knowing you have the wisdom to help them avoid those missteps. Yet, too often, people keep their hard-earned wisdom to themselves. Maybe you think others need to learn the "hard way," just like you did. But does struggle for struggle’s sake really make sense? What if you could give them the wisdom shortcut—the insight, experience, and lessons that could save them years of frustration? By sharing your wisdom, you’re not just giving advice—you’re redefining what’s possible for others. You’re showing them a path they didn’t even know existed. You’re turning obstacles into stepping stones, helping them reach their goals faster, smarter, and with fewer setbacks. In this special 300th episode, I share the wisdom shortcut—lessons learned from my failures and mistakes, both in business and as a pro snowboarder. I reflect on my

People who go to law school are some of the most driven, hard working people, but often end up struggling the most financially. Attorneys go through a crazy journey—years of intense study, grueling exams, and relentless hours—only to enter a field where financial stability isn’t always guaranteed. The financial aspect of law can be overwhelming, whether it's managing student debt, setting up a firm, or handling the unpredictable income of legal practice.  If trained professionals struggle to navigate these challenges, how well-prepared are you when legal trouble comes knocking? That’s where Jess Bailey’s journey comes in. Jess, a lawyer who’s battled through the financial ups and downs of the legal world, knows exactly what it takes to safeguard yourself—both legally and financially. Through her experiences, she’s learned that the best way to stay ahead is to "lawyer yourself up" before trouble arises. How would you navigate the financial complexities of your own legal journey? Have you ever felt unprepared w

The volatility of stocks, the unpredictability of real estate, and the rising cost of living are leaving many investors searching for something stable. Gold, historically a safe haven, has hit new all-time highs—but what’s driving this surge, and what challenges lie ahead for those looking to get involved? The truth is, the future of investing can feel like walking a tightrope. While everything around us fluctuates, gold stands as a rare asset with the potential to offer liquidity and value when other investments falter.  But here's the kicker: the gold market isn’t foolproof. It comes with its own set of hurdles—price volatility, geopolitical risks, and accessibility issues—that could trip up even the most seasoned investor.  So, how do we navigate these challenges while still capitalizing on the rise of gold? What can we do today to prepare our investments for a future where gold becomes the ultimate safe haven? What are the key factors driving gold's latest surge in value?

Too often, giving is tied to personal gain—whether it’s a tax deduction, public praise, or a sense of obligation. But real generosity isn’t about what you get in return. It’s about giving with pure intentions, fueled by love and passion, not by what you stand to benefit. Imagine what would happen if every act of kindness came from a place of true selflessness. How much more impact would your giving have? How much more fulfillment would you feel? The ultimate purpose in life is to give—not for accolades, not for financial incentives, but because it’s the right thing to do. When you give with the right heart, the rewards come naturally: deeper connections, a stronger community, and a life filled with purpose. In this episode urologist and pilot Dr. Brian Rambarran joins me to talk about the act of giving, its importance and the great impact it can have. We also talk about his rescue foundation and the difference he’s making.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Impact of actions Actions can inspire others an

Losing a job or facing an unexpected life shift can feel like the biggest curse—no income, no direction, and no clear path forward. But what if this so-called curse was actually the best thing that ever happened to you? Have you ever considered that hitting rock bottom might be the push you need to rise higher than ever before? The truth is, when everything you thought was certain is taken away, you’re forced to look beyond your comfort zone. You start seeing opportunities where before, you only saw routine. The question is—will you embrace the change or stay stuck in fear? What if the loss of something familiar could lead you to something even greater? In this episode, StoreIt founder Wayde Elliott joins me to share his journey from smooth sailing to sudden hardships—and how he turned it all around by striking gold in real estate self-storage. We also talk about the importance of being a life-long learner, being your own bank and why it's so important to grow and give intentionally.   Things You’ll Learn In

You have big dreams. You know where you want to be. But somehow, the gap between where you are now and where you want to go feels massive. Progress seems slow—sometimes painfully so. Life throws obstacles in your way, and before you know it, doubt creeps in. Naysayers whisper that you’ll never make it. Maybe you’ve even thought about quitting. The truth is, most people give up not because they’re incapable but because they don’t have a clear, strategic approach. They expect a straight path, but success is full of twists, turns, and setbacks. The key? Taking the right first step and staying committed even when things don’t go as planned. So, how do you cut the difference down? What if you could shorten the time between where you are now and the life you dream of? In this episode, I talk about the important steps to take when it comes to erasing the distance between where you are and where your goals and dreams are. I also comment on the importance of focus and eliminating distractions.   Things You’ll Learn In

Generational wealth is something many people want. As parents, we fight to build a legacy that future generations can benefit from. We want to take care of our family long after we’re gone.  The problem is, the traditional banking system doesn’t support generational wealth. Banks want to take people’s money and multiply it for themselves, not for their customers.  What if you could create your own family banking system that does all the things banks do but it’s all working in your favor?  Infinite Banking makes this possible.  Instead of having your children borrow money from banks, what if they could borrow money directly from the family business. This doesn’t just provide for their current financial needs, but helps them build wealth in the long run. How do you build a family bank without turning your kids into entitled brats?  How did Hannah Kesler buy a million dollar penthouse using the family bank? In this episode, 2nd generation Infinite Banking coach, speaker and entrepreneur, Hannah Kesler shares how

In the world of real estate investing, there are so many entry points, vehicles and paths we can chase down. But trying to chase down too many paths can take you out of business. Is it smarter to focus on one thing instead?  It’s no coincidence that most investors struggle the most when they have their hands in too many pies. We would make a lot more money if we freed up our cash and mental bandwidth and applied it to one proven path.  That’s what speaker, 2x UltraMarathoner, Real Estate Developer and the CEO of Barefoot Land Co, Brady McDonald did. Instead of spreading himself too thin, he concentrated his efforts in the self-storage development space. His secret? Choosing to do hard things on purpose.  As an ultra-endurance runner, he overcame addiction, conquered the pressures of real estate, and scaled businesses across borders.  Brady talks about how real estate challenges mirror ultra-endurance events and how the mindset of overcoming massive obstacles translates into real-life success.   Things You’ll

Are you tired of handing over control of your hard-earned money to traditional banks? You’ve worked hard, only to find your dollars barely working for you. Every paycheck you deposit, every investment you make—where does that money go? It ends up fueling someone else’s bank. The banking system is built to make the banks richer by lending out your money at higher interest rates while paying you a fraction in return. But what if you could flip the script and take back control? That’s where the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) comes in. This game-changing strategy puts you in the driver’s seat of your financial future. Imagine a world where you become your own bank—able to grow your wealth while leveraging your money to create more opportunities. Today, I’m going to break this concept down in a way anyone can understand and share all the advantages you can gain from it.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Control your own capital  Most people park their paychecks in banks someone else controls.

We’ve all heard the buzz about blockchain, but how much do we really understand its potential to transform our everyday lives? Right now, we live in a world dominated by centralized systems—banks control our finances, corporations hold our data, and middlemen dictate transactions. But what if there were a better way? Centralized systems have dominated for decades but are riddled with significant flaws, including single points of failure that can lead to catastrophic system-wide failures, a lack of transparency that undermines trust and accountability, and inefficiencies that hinder optimal performance and adaptability. Blockchain isn't just a buzzword—it’s the key to solving some of the biggest inefficiencies in finance, healthcare, supply chains, and beyond. Blockchain flips the script by introducing a decentralized model. Instead of placing trust in a single entity, it uses a distributed ledger where every transaction is verified and recorded by multiple participants. In this episode, five-time TEDx speaker

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you’ll never break free from your current financial situation? Do you catch yourself thinking, “This is just how my life is meant to be”? If so, you're not alone. Many people are born into circumstances that shape their beliefs about money, success, and their own potential. But what if those beliefs are holding you back? The truth is, your mindset around money could be the very thing keeping you stuck. Thinking you’re destined to fail because of where you started in life is a broken mindset. And yet, so many people live their entire lives believing they are trapped, unable to break the cycle. The problem isn’t where you come from—it’s how you think about money. If you don’t understand your views on money or address the deep-rooted psychology behind them, you’ll continue to repeat the same patterns. What could be accomplished if people broke free from limiting beliefs about money? What’s stopping us from taking the first step toward change? Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.

Many homeowners are stuck in the traditional mortgage cycle, paying interest for decades and barely making a dent in their principal. It’s a frustrating system that feels impossible to escape. Traditional mortgages are designed to keep you in debt longer, with most of your early payments going toward interest, not principal. Add in the burden of juggling other high-interest debts like credit cards or personal loans, and financial freedom can seem like a distant dream. Isn’t it time to stop working harder for the banks and start making your money work smarter for you? Enter velocity banking—a revolutionary approach that's transforming the way people manage their money. At the heart of this strategy is the First Lien HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit), a financial tool that enables you to leverage your home equity for accelerated debt payoff and increased cash flow. But how does it actually work? Can we build a system around it that is foolproof? In this clip, First Lien HELOC Specialist Anthony Rushing joins m

We’ve all been taught to put our money in the bank, trusting it will grow safely. But here’s the reality: while the bank gives you a little interest, it takes full control of your money. Imagine being in control of your own financial future, where you’re not only saving and investing, but also using your money to generate passive wealth—without relying on the banks. This is where the Infinite Banking Concept comes in. It’s a revolutionary strategy that lets you take back control of your money, allowing you to grow your wealth in a way that banks don’t want you to know about. The key? Give to get. By focusing on giving first—whether through affiliate partnerships or reinvesting into your own banking functions—you can tap into a system that allows you to benefit from your money instead of giving it up to others. In this episode, I talk about why it's crucial to have the mindset of giving not getting, why it's sometimes best to do what’s right for others and not yourself and how to think like the bank.   Things

Debt is more than just numbers on a statement—it’s a heavy burden that crushes dreams, erodes credit scores, and casts a shadow over your financial future. It’s not just about the unpaid bills or the relentless interest rates.  For many, debt becomes an emotional weight, leading to sleepless nights, strained relationships, and a sense of hopelessness. In extreme cases, it can even lead to thoughts of suicide, leaving families devastated and financial legacies erased. Have you ever felt trapped by the cycle of mounting debt and minimum payments? Are you anxious about the financial legacy—or lack thereof—that you’ll leave for your family? What if you could blow away that debt and start building wealth instead of constantly sinking deeper? What if there was a solution that could not only help you pay off your debt but also allow you to take control of your financial future for good? Infinite Banking is a powerful financial strategy that allows you to build wealth by creating your own bank. It works by using whol

Bills pile up, your car breaks down just when you thought you were catching up, and that raise you were counting on? It never comes. You watch others build wealth and wonder, how do they do it? What do they know that I don’t? Every month, you’re working hard just to pay someone else: lenders, credit card companies, landlords. Your money is gone before you even have a chance to think about saving. It feels like you’ll never get ahead. Here’s the truth: the path to wealth isn’t about how much you make—it’s about how you use what you already have. But what if what if every bill you paid was building your wealth, not draining it? Is there a way to build wealth on a small budget, without relying on the traditional "get rich" schemes? In this episode, I talk about how you can tap into your own money to build wealth, no matter your budget and how to leverage your own debt and expenses to create a wealth-building system that works for you.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -What's keeping you in the rat race Lux

If you’ve ever dealt with rental properties, you know the drill: late-night calls for emergency repairs, chasing down rent payments, and endless maintenance headaches. It’s exhausting and often feels like the returns don’t justify the stress. What if you could reap the benefits of real estate without the hassle? Enter land flipping—a smarter, simpler way to grow your wealth. Unlike rental properties, land doesn’t require constant upkeep or management. No tenants to screen, no leaky toilets to fix, and definitely no termites. It’s a streamlined investment opportunity that can generate consistent cash flow without the chaos. But how does land flipping really stack up? What makes flipping land easier than other real estate investments? Jack Bosch, co-founder of the Land Profit Generator and host of the The Jack Bosch Show joins me to talk about how he got into land flipping, some of the benefits of it and why its something to seriously consider.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  3 reasons to market to neigh

For a really long time, we’ve been told to trust traditional financial instruments — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and 401(k)s managed by others. But the truth is, these aren’t the best ways to build long-term wealth. Many people are investing in things they don't fully understand, allowing big banks and financial institutions to profit at their expense. Traditional investment routes don’t have your best interests at heart, especially when we factor in the substantial fees and interest payments that eat away at potential returns. Instead of building wealth, these conventional paths can often leave you with less than you started. But we don't have to play by those rules. What if you could be your own bank? How can you recapture the money you pay out in interest, instead of giving it to a bank or lender? In this episode, I discuss how to build wealth using your 401k or Infinite Banking Policy to become your own bank, allowing you to pay off debt, recapture interest, and invest by taking loans, ultimately keeping

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably noticed how little traditional banking actually benefits you in the long run. Appearances aside, banks don’t operate with your best interests at heart. They make choices to maximize their own growth—often at your expense. While banks encourage you to save and play it safe, they take your money and invest it to generate massive returns for themselves. Why would they tell you to do the opposite of what they do? Have you ever asked yourself why banks push us into strategies that benefit them but not us? What if there were a way to reclaim control and finally make money work in your favor? This is where the Infinite Banking Concept comes in. Instead of being caught in the cycle of dependence on banks that don’t serve you, Infinite Banking enables you to become your own bank, using a strategy that allows you to grow your wealth while keeping full control.
