  • It’s Never a Bad Time to Invest in Real Estate: How to Win in the Worst Markets w/ Joel Miller
    2025/04/03
    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 times. So, is now the right time to invest? According to Joel, it’s always the right time if you find the right deal. The market may shift, but if you hold onto a property long enough, there’s usually a way to make it work. In this episode, I sit down with Joel Miller, a real estate veteran with over four decades of experience. Joel talks about his new book, Build Wealth In Real Estate And Enjoy The Journey, the wisdom he’s gained in his investing career and how you can spot good opportunities, no matter the market conditions. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Knowledge vs. wisdom If you want to have a long investing career, knowing all the best strategies isn’t enough. What are some of the basic accounting mistakes investors make that tank their businesses? -Don’t wish for better rates, wish for better deals Even in the worst markets, there’s never a bad time to invest in real estate, but there are bad strategies. What rule should govern whether or not we do a deal? -The problem with low interest rates Many people wish for the super low interest rates we had a few years ago, but here’s the thing: they weren’t normal or good for the economy. Why are today’s interest rates better? -Real estate: the most forgiving investing vehicle In real estate investing, you can make a mistake and still find a way to make your money back. How does that differ from other investments? Guest Bio Joel Miller is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, mentor and author of Build Wealth In Real Estate And Enjoy The Journey. After obtaining a BA in accounting, Joel has been investing in rental properties since 1978 and flipping houses since 1991. He has served in numerous leadership roles in his professional and personal circles, and he teaches real estate investing at both the beginner and advanced levels.

  • How to Smash Your Business Barriers by Talking to Your 7-Year-Old Self w/ Annie Yatch
    2025/03/27

    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 patterns, and how brain technology can help you become Limitless.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -How to calm a stress-hijacked nervous system

    Entrepreneurs are highly competitive people who are constantly striving to achieve (often to our detriment). How do we rewire our brains so that this instinct doesn’t do more harm than good?

    -How to become Limitless

    The movie Limitless might seem like pure fiction, but it’s actually based in reality. What brain tech helps entrepreneurs get to their next level of achievement in a healthier way?

    -Calm is the key to business growth

    As entrepreneurs, we’re always frantically seeking solutions to problems in our businesses. Could calming down actually be the key to finding those solutions?

  • The Wisdom Shortcut: How to Save Years of Struggle and Achieve Success Faster
    2025/03/20

    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 journey and how I’ve helped others avoid the same pitfalls by passing on the knowledge I’ve gained along the way.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -Failure can fortify

    Failure is a natural part of growth, strengthening wisdom and resilience. How can past failures shape better decisions in the future?

    -Resourcefulness over resources

    Success depends more on resourcefulness than available resources. How can thinking creatively help overcome financial limitations?

    -Ego and emotions in business

    Stay objective in business—avoid assumptions, emotions, and ego-driven decisions. How can you ensure logic guides your decisions rather than emotions?

  • Why Gold Is The Ultimate Hedge Against Market Uncertainty w/Michael Arries
    2025/02/27
    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? Seasoned advisor at McAlvany Precious Metals, Michael Arries, joins me for this episode to talk about the drivers behind gold’s rise and how to mitigate investment risks when it comes to precious metals. We also discuss how to take advantage of gold’s reliability. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Portfolios and precious metals Diversifying a portfolio with precious metals can provide stability and hedge against inflation. What percentage of a portfolio should be allocated to precious metals for optimal balance? -Using a self-directed IRA to purchase gold A self-directed IRA allows investors to purchase gold, though many are unaware of this option. What steps are involved in using a self-directed IRA to invest in gold? -Silver vs. gold Silver is more volatile than gold and has the potential to outperform it in percentage gains, but gold is generally more stable and a preferred long-term hedge. Given silver's higher volatility, is it a better investment than gold? Guest Bio Michael Arries is an experienced advisor in the field of precious metals, having traded gold and silver for almost 25 years. A native of Colorado, Michael Arries graduated Magna Cum Laude from Fort Lewis College with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Computer Science. He has studied economics and politics as a hobby for two decades, which is how he found his way into the precious metals space. In 2010, he embarked on his professional career with McAlvany Precious Metals, a family-owned business with a 50-year legacy in the industry, where he currently manages 1,500 clients. Renowned for their unwavering integrity, time-tested strategy, and personalized service, McAlvany represents the pinnacle of excellence among precious metals firms. Michael has been featured on Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network_, Alternative Investor Mastermind, The Agent of Wealth, _Money Focused Podcast, Conversations From The Capitol radio show, broadcasted by America Matters Media and Fixing the Money Thing TV show with Gary Keesee.

  • Forget Wealth: Here’s Why Selflessness is the Ultimate Reward /Dr Brian Rambarran
    2025/02/20

    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 and create a ripple effect, especially with the reach of social media. How can a single positive action influence a larger audience in today’s digital world?

    -More than meets the eye

    Success in a profession doesn’t always mean financial stability—many doctors and other professionals struggle with savings and retirement. Why do some high-earning professionals still face financial difficulties despite their income?

    -Establishing a perfect balance

    Setting boundaries between work and personal life is essential, as work can be never-ending. Why do so many people struggle with balance?



    Guest Bio

    Dr. Brian Rambarran is a Buffalo-based urologist and licensed pilot renowned for his dedication to rescuing animals from high-euthanasia shelters. Over the past 12 years, he has utilized his Cirrus SR22 aircraft to airlift over 500 dogs from shelters in New York and North Carolina to foster and adoption homes, often partnering with organizations like Noah’s Advocates for Animals and Nickel City Canine Rescue.

    Beyond his medical and rescue work, Dr. Rambarran founded Rambarran Rescues, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving shelter dogs through air transport. The organization collaborates with rescue groups to provide vulnerable animals with a second chance at life.

    Dr. Rambarran's life-saving efforts have garnered national attention, including features on ABC News and Good Morning America. He plans to continue flying to save animals and bring joy to families welcoming new pets.

  • Why Hitting Rock Bottom Could Be Your Greatest Business Opportunity w/ Wayde Elliott
    2025/02/13

    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 This Episode

    -Navigating the learning curve

    Transitioning careers comes with a learning curve, and mistakes are essential for growth. How do we ensure that these mistakes propel us forward and not hold us back?

    -Lean on those with experience

    Learning from experienced people accelerates growth and decision-making. How can mentorship help you avoid common pitfalls and reach your goals faster?

    -The 5 Finger Gratitude technique

    The 5 Finger Gratitude technique uses each finger to remind us of things to be grateful for, fostering a positive mindset. How can taking a moment to reflect on five things you're grateful for impact your mindset?



    Guest Bio

    Dr. Wayde Elliott founded StorelT, who began working in self-storage development in 2009, after practicing dentistry for over two decades. His first project was in St. Helens, OR, and involved working directly with the highway department, railroad, and Oregon State’s land division. From this project, Elliott learned a great deal about self-storage, including all of the ins and outs of developing and maintaining storage units.

    Once he saw the ROI of his initial project, Elliott knew he created something that filled a need, and he wants to help others do the same! With over $68 million worth of self-storage units developed and sold, rest assured that Elliott knows what he is talking about.

    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.

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?
