What if you could build a successful real estate business, create more financial freedom, and travel the world—all without being tied to one location? In this episode of The Expert Speaker Podcast, Majeed Mogharreban sits down with Shawn and Brittany of SBL Capital Management, a husband-and-wife team who traded their careers in nursing for a life of entrepreneurship, remote real estate investing, and global travel. Their journey wasn't easy. From working exhausting hospital shifts and sleeping in a car between jobs to launching a medical clinic and navigating the uncertainties of entrepreneurship, Shawn and Brittany discovered that achieving true freedom required more than working harder. It required changing how they thought about money, risk, and opportunity. Today, they're investing in U.S. real estate remotely, traveling the world, and helping others build the confidence, systems, and relationships needed to pursue their own financial and lifestyle goals.

Why building a successful business doesn't always mean creating the freedom you want. How to invest in real estate remotely without personally managing every renovation or property. The importance of building trusted teams, repeatable systems, and strategic partnerships. How their nursing experience inspired the Code Blue System for real estate investing. Why taking action before you feel completely ready can create unexpected opportunities. How to move beyond fear, develop confidence, and stay focused on your bigger goals. Practical travel tips for entrepreneurs who want to work from anywhere. Shawn and Brittany's story is a powerful reminder that freedom isn't just about how much money you make—it's about creating a life that gives you control over your time, location, and choices.

What does it actually mean to build a community—and how do you create relationships where people feel truly seen, valued, and connected? In this episode of The Expert Speaker Podcast, Majeed Mogharreban sits down with Justine Magic Bean, community builder, tech advisor, and self-described Heart Scholar, for a wide-ranging conversation about community, belonging, friendship, love, and the power of creating meaningful human connection. Justine shares a powerful distinction between an audience and a true community: in a real community, people aren't simply connected to a brand, leader, product, or experience—they're creating value and relationships with one another. Drawing from her experience building communities around the world and her work helping launch a modern matchmaking company in New York, Justine explains why the strongest communities often grow through the things that don't scale: personal invitations, thoughtful follow-ups, shared experiences, generosity, and genuinely caring about the whole person. The conversation also gets personal as Justine shares her own journey from struggling to feel like she belonged to becoming someone who has built friendships and communities around the world. She and Majeed explore unconventional ways of thinking about friendship, commitment, romantic and non-romantic relationships, and what it means to love someone in the way they actually need to be loved. They also discuss Justine's journey to becoming a more confident communicator—and why intentionally stepping into uncomfortable areas like public speaking can become an important part of personal and professional growth. In this episode, you'll discover: The difference between an audience and a true community Why the best communities create value between members—not just between the leader and the members How shared experiences can accelerate belonging and connection Why doing the unscalable things can be one of the most powerful ways to build community How generosity and a "give first" mentality change the way you enter a room Why meaningful follow-up matters when building relationships How technology can actually help us become more thoughtful friends Why friendship deserves the same intentionality we often reserve for romantic relationships How to create spaces that make it easier for strangers to connect The difference between saying "I love you" and "I love you because..." Why loving someone requires understanding how they need to be loved How Justine thinks differently about friendship, commitment, and "life partners" Why there doesn't have to be one predetermined roadmap for meaningful relationships The role communication and presentation skills played in building Justine's professional confidence Why growth often requires intentionally choosing an uncomfortable edge Key Takeaways A community isn't the same thing as an audience. An audience primarily receives value from you. A true community creates opportunities for people to connect, exchange value, build relationships, and eventually create experiences that don't depend entirely on the person or company that originally brought them together. Do the things that don't scale. Personal messages, thoughtful introductions, remembering important details, gathering people around a table, and following up individually take time—but they're often what make someone feel like they genuinely belong. Walk into the room asking, "Who can I help?" Instead of immediately looking for the person who can advance your career, become a client, introduce you to someone, or provide an opportunity, Justine encourages approaching relationships from generosity first. People want permission to connect. Sometimes creating community isn't about designing an elaborate event. Small environmental cues, thoughtful seating arrangements, conversation starters, or even something as simple as a pin that says "Ask me about love" can lower the barrier between strangers. Be specific with your love and appreciation. Rather than simply telling someone "I love you," Justine explores the practice of saying, "I love you because..." and naming exactly what you appreciate about that person. Relationships don't have to fit into predetermined boxes. Romantic relationships have established milestones and labels, but friendships and other meaningful relationships often don't. Justine challenges us to think more creatively and intentionally about commitment, friendship, family, and the many different ways people can share a life. Confidence can be built deliberately. Justine didn't pursue presentation coaching because public speaking came naturally. She pursued it because it was an edge she wanted to strengthen. Over time, deliberate practice helped her communicate the confidence she already felt in her work. About Justine Magic Bean Justine Magic Bean is a community builder, tech advisor, relationship thinker, and emerging Heart Scholar whose work centers around creating deeper human connection and belonging. Her approach to community is rooted in generosity, thoughtful experience design, personal connection, and a willingness to do the things that don't scale. After years of building relationships and communities around the world, she now brings that experience into the technology and relationship space, helping create experiences that combine innovation with meaningful human touch. Her personal journey—from struggling to feel a true sense of belonging to becoming a connector and community builder for people around the world—has deeply shaped her philosophy on friendship, love, commitment, and what it means to help people feel genuinely seen.

In this episode, Majeed sits down with Kyle Gray, founder of The Story Engine, to talk about what makes a powerful story, why so many experts struggle to choose the right one, and how speakers can move beyond information into true emotional connection. Kyle shares his process for helping business owners, leaders, and professional speakers uncover the stories that actually resonate with their ideal clients. He explains why the best stories often aren't the obvious "success" stories, but the moments connected to struggle, shame, uncertainty, and transformation. They also explore how AI is changing the speaking industry, what AI can and cannot replace, and why the human transformation that happens through crafting and delivering a signature talk still matters deeply. Key Highlights: Why speakers often struggle to find the right story How to access stories through emotion instead of overthinking Why your client's pain should shape the story you tell The danger of building a talk around yourself instead of the audience How AI can support creativity without replacing deep human transformation Why a signature talk is more than a sales tool — it can help you become more aligned with who you are How short-form content can help you practice and sharpen your bigger message Why stories help us make meaning in uncertain times Tools + Takeaways: Start by identifying the three biggest problems your ideal client is facing Ask what they are really afraid of beneath the surface Notice where that emotion shows up in your body Ask yourself: "When have I felt this before?" Use that story to show your audience that you understand them Let AI support your process, but don't outsource your voice, meaning, or humanity Remember: the right story is not always the most impressive story — it's the one that creates connection Notable Quotes: "Your brain redacts most of the right stories." "We want to paint our clients' language on our own stories." "Most speakers build a talk for themselves instead of something that really serves the audience." "When you start telling your story differently, you look at yourself differently." "We all have an individual opportunity to pick up our pen and finish the story the way we want." Learn More About Kyle: Connect with Kyle Gray at thestoryengine.co or on Instagram at @heykylegray. His upcoming book, The Forcing Mind, explores how trying to force your business, your speech, or your creativity can actually block the right stories — and how to get back into alignment with what you're really here to say.  🖥 Connect with Expert Speaker: https://www.expertspeaker.com 📲 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/majeedmogharreban/ 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/majeed.mogharreban 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/majeedm

In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, I sit down with Josh Terry — a creator, coach, and thinker known for saying sharp things in very few words. We unpack why so many smart, capable people stay stuck, and how real momentum often comes from doing less, not more. Josh shares the counterintuitive idea that trying to fix your weaknesses might actually be holding you back — in business, creativity, and leadership. We talk about mastery, creative freedom, productivity, and why operating well within your strengths creates far better results than constantly pushing at the edge of your abilities . Key Takeaways Give up on what you're bad at Growth accelerates when you stop forcing yourself to improve weaknesses that drain you and instead build around what already works. Mastery comes from ease, not struggle People don't want what you can barely deliver. Mastery is built by repeatedly doing what's well within your competence — and letting that competence expand naturally. Your strengths are often invisible to you Many of our strongest capabilities formed early in life, which makes them feel "normal" and easy to overlook — even though they're where our greatest leverage lives. Stop copying the "right way" to create Josh explains how abandoning standard advice (eye contact, memorization, perfect delivery) led to his biggest breakthroughs and viral growth. Productivity isn't about pressure Some people thrive under pressure. Others shut down. Understanding whether you respond better to pressure or space can radically change how you work. Eliminate infinite time sinks Endless distractions (scrolling, gaming, mindless consumption) kill momentum. Replacing them with finite breaks helps you return to focused work faster. Notable Quotes "Nobody wants what you can just barely deliver." "Mastery comes from repeatedly doing something that is well within your competence." "We're not supposed to make our weaknesses our day job." "If you stop trying to look like who you're not, you can finally create something real." Action Steps Make a list of what drains you vs. what feels easy and effective — and ruthlessly reduce the former Identify one strength you've dismissed as "too obvious" and lean into it this week Replace infinite distractions with finite breaks (walks, stretching, sitting quietly) Ask yourself: What could I create if I stopped trying to fix myself first? Listen If You Are A founder, creator, or leader feeling stuck despite working hard Someone overwhelmed by "do more, be better" advice A creative who wants to find their real voice Looking for a smarter, calmer way to grow without burning out   🖥 Connect with Expert Speaker: https://www.expertspeaker.com 📲 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/majeedmogharreban/ 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/majeed.mogharreban 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/majeedm

In this compelling conversation, Majeed Mogharreban speaks with Rebecca Mountain, high-performance coach and author of Think Again, about breaking free from the toxic hustle and building a life of true fulfillment, purpose, and legacy.

Key Takeaways: The Hustle Trap vs. True Success Rebecca reveals how she realized her so-called dream life—money, business, accolades—was a mask for deeper dissatisfaction. Success isn't what you have; it's how free and fulfilled you feel. Your Legacy Starts Now You don't build a legacy "someday." You build it through daily choices, aligned values, and intentional leadership. Rebecca explains how to shift from chasing success to creating significance. Coaching for Soul-Level Change Rebecca's work goes beyond surface strategy. She shares how she guides her clients through healing emotional pain, uprooting limiting beliefs, and stepping into their highest leadership. Why You Must Heal to Lead Well Unprocessed pain limits impact. Rebecca discusses how emotional healing and self-worth are non-negotiables for healthy leadership, meaningful relationships, and sustainable success. Build a Business That Doesn't Break You Rebecca now coaches others to create thriving lives and businesses without sacrificing their health, families, or faith. Her model blends mindset, healing, and bold action. Notable Quotes: "I had the house, the money, the clients—and I was miserable. That's when I knew something had to change." – Rebecca Mountain "You can't build a legacy if you're constantly burned out, checked out, or living for someone else's version of success." – Rebecca Mountain "Healing is not a luxury—it's a leadership imperative." – Rebecca Mountain "You were made to live a life that excites you, not just one that impresses others." – Rebecca Mountain Action Steps: Grab a copy of Rebecca's book Think Again to start rewriting your story Reflect: Where are you hustling for approval instead of operating from alignment?

In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, Majeed Mogharreban interviews real estate investor and wholesaling expert Theresa Beneteau. With 37 years of experience and a deep passion for helping others escape the 9-to-5 grind, Theresa shares how she went from nearly losing her first home at 20 to building a multi-country real estate empire—all starting with wholesaling. She breaks down exactly what wholesaling is, how it works in any market, and how she made $55K from one deal—without owning, fixing, or even visiting the property. Key Takeaways: What Is Real Estate Wholesaling? Wholesaling is the process of putting a property under contract and then selling that contract to another buyer—without ever owning the property.

A $55,000 Payday Story Theresa details a creative win-win-win transaction that helped a distressed seller avoid a lawsuit and gave a buyer an incredible investment opportunity—all in just four days, netting her $55,000 without ever touching the property. How to Find Good Deals Motivation is key—distressed sellers create opportunities. Theresa explains why understanding seller psychology is more important than negotiating tactics. Wholesaling in Any Market Whether you're in a recession or a hot market, the strategy stays the same. The key is identifying the right buyers and markets. The Power of Remote Wholesaling Thanks to today's technology, wholesaling can now be done completely remotely, even across borders.
