How much money do you really need to be free? For luxury developer and real estate agent Templeton Walker, the answer is “regular rich”: $2 million liquid and a paid-off house.   In this episode, we sit down with Templeton, a fellow agent at Real Brokerage and a luxury real estate expert in the Arizona market. He has grown an agent network of more than 700 agents and used that leverage to buy back his time, so he can focus on what truly matters to him.   Templeton explains why he stopped chasing small deals and now focuses only on the ones that light him up: the big ones, or “elk,” as he calls them. We discuss how Real’s model helped him build an income stream beyond his own production, why a skilled agent shouldn’t settle for small deals, and how to design a life built on freedom rather than hustle.   In this episode, you’ll learn: What “regular rich” means and why $2M liquid plus a paid-off house is the freedom numberHow Templeton grew his network to 700+ agents at Real BrokerageWhy top agents are making the move to Real, and how its model rewards growthHow to buy back your time and focus on high-impact workWhy chasing “elk” instead of small deals changes your business and your lifeWhat luxury real estate and development look like in today’s Arizona market Whether you’re an agent ready to level up, an investor building toward freedom, or a W-2 professional wondering what “enough” really looks like, this conversation will reframe how you think about wealth and time.

Most advice about building wealth in your 20s comes from people who've forgotten what it felt like. We're still close enough to remember.   In this episode, Ryan and I look back at what we got wrong in our 20s: the money moves, business decisions, and assumptions that felt right at 27 and 28, when we were starting out, and the ones we'd never repeat today. We get candid about the mistakes that cost us time, money, and energy, and what we'd tell ourselves if we could go back.   We also talk about how our perspective has shifted between then and now, at 34 and 35. What we prioritized when we started looks very different from what matters to us today, from how we think about money and risk to how we define success and what it means to live life on your own terms. If you're early in your journey, building wealth, starting a business, or trying to design a better life, this is a chance to learn from our mistakes instead of making them yourself. You'll walk away with lessons you can apply right away and a clearer sense of what's worth chasing and what isn't.   In this episode: The biggest mistakes we made in our 20s while building wealth and a businessWhat we believed at 27 and 28 that we've since changed our minds aboutHow our priorities have shifted from our late 20s to our mid 30sWhat we'd do differently if we were starting over todayHow to avoid the same pitfalls on your own path to financial freedomWhat "living life on your own terms" actually looks like now vs. then Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Most wealth-building content comes from people who've already "made it," looking back and polishing the story. This episode is different. Cory and Ryan sit down to get candid about exactly where they are right now, how far they've climbed, and how far they still have to go.   Together, they break down the five stages of wealth, in their own words, based on what they've actually lived through building Wealth Juice and their own real estate portfolios: Survival, Stability, Accumulation, Ownership, and Optionality/Freedom. This isn't a textbook framework, it's their honest take on what each stage actually feels like, what it takes to move through it, and the mindset shifts that happen (or need to happen) at each one.   Cory and Ryan talk openly about which stage they're each in today, the stages they've already fought through, and the ones still ahead of them. They get real about the discomfort of being transparent about this, admitting you haven't arrived yet isn't easy when you're the one teaching others how to build wealth, but they believe showing the real, unfinished middle of the journey is more useful than another highlight reel.   If you've ever wondered where you actually stand on your own path to financial freedom, or felt like everyone else seems further along than you, this conversation is a grounded, honest look at what the climb really looks like.   In this episode: The 5 stages of wealth: Survival, Stability, Accumulation, Ownership, and Optionality/FreedomWhat each stage actually feels like, in Cory and Ryan's own experienceWhere they each stand today, and the stages they're still working throughThe mindset shifts required to move from one stage to the nextWhy they chose to be candid about not having "arrived" yetHow to think about your own progress without comparing yourself to someone else's highlight reel  Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Nobody teaches you how to build real wealth in school. Marvin Mitchell has spent his career closing that gap.   Marvin is the Founder and CEO of Wealth Creators and a Hall of Fame financial advisor who's guided thousands of individuals and families through the process of legally reducing taxes, repositioning their money for long-term growth, and building a financial foundation that actually supports the life they want, not just the one they're stuck maintaining. His mission is built on a simple belief: financial independence isn't reserved for the lucky few, it's available to anyone with the right guidance, discipline, and strategy.   In this episode, Marvin breaks down the framework he uses with his clients: the difference between being a Debtor, a Saver, and a true Wealth Creator, and why most people get stuck in the first two stages without ever realizing there's a third. We talk about the tax strategies most people never learn, how to reposition money that's sitting idle or working inefficiently, and what it actually takes to build multiple, sustainable streams of income instead of just protecting what you already have. Marvin also shares why he built Wealth Creators around mentorship instead of one-size-fits-all advice, and what separates people who make real progress from those who stay stuck. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" financially, saving, working hard, staying disciplined, but still not building real wealth, this conversation lays out what's actually missing.   In this episode: The Debtor, Saver, and Wealth Creator framework, and how to know which stage you're inLegal strategies to reduce your tax burden that most people never learnHow to reposition your money for long-term growth instead of just protecting itWhy saving alone isn't the same as building wealthHow to build multiple, sustainable streams of incomeWhat actually separates people who break through to financial independence Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

This one was a special one for ya boys!   Ricky Carruth built a business, and a following of over 100,000 agents worldwide, on the opposite idea: relationships over transactions.   Ricky has been selling real estate on the Gulf Coast since he was 20 years old. As a solo agent with no team, he closed over 100 deals a year for nearly a decade, eventually surpassing $1 billion in career sales volume, all without chasing leads or running paid ads. Along the way, he lost it all once, rebuilt from scratch, and came back with a completely different philosophy about how this business actually works. That philosophy became Zero to Diamond, his free coaching platform, where he's since helped more than 100,000 agents grow their businesses using the same systems.   In this episode, Ricky breaks down exactly how he built a $1M/year real estate business as a single agent, why he believes the deal is never the point, the relationship is, and how that mindset shift changed everything for him after he hit rock bottom. Central to his approach is a mantra he lives by: he doesn't convince anyone to buy or sell. He's simply there, ready to help, when they decide the time is right. We talk about what that no-pressure philosophy actually looks like day to day, why it builds trust that outlasts any single transaction, and how the consistent habits behind it, calls, follow-up, and real communication, built a business bigger than most teams without ever hiring one.   If you're an agent trying to figure out how to build something sustainable instead of chasing the next commission check, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.   In this episode: How Ricky built a $1M/year real estate business as a solo agent, no teamWhy "relationships over transactions" became his entire business philosophyHis mantra: never convincing anyone to buy or sell, just being ready when they areWhat happened when he lost it all, and what he changed to rebuildHow he closed 100+ deals a year for nearly a decade without paid leadsLessons for any agent trying to build a business that lasts Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

There's a self storage niche most investors have never even considered, and Chris Long built an entire company around it. Chris is the founder and CEO of Longyards, which turns underused commercial and industrial land into secure, gated outdoor storage yards for contractors, fleets, and trades. What started as one yard in Ottawa in 2019 has grown into 168 active yards with 150 more in progress across the U.S. and Canada.   Chris didn't come up through real estate or finance, he started as a carpenter, which shaped a model built for how contractors and operators actually work: month-to-month terms, no long leases, no brokers, no lawyers, just fenced, camera-monitored space you can drive into the same week you sign up.   In this episode, we break down how the self storage yard model actually works, why it's one of the most overlooked passive income plays in real estate right now, and how landowners can turn raw or underutilized acreage into recurring monthly cash flow without developing or operating anything themselves. Chris walks through what makes a parcel a good fit, how Longyards' modular, deployable infrastructure lets them launch yards faster than traditional development, and why demand for this kind of space, from contractors, fleets, and infrastructure projects, keeps accelerating.   If you own land that's sitting idle, or you're looking for a real estate niche with less competition and real cash flow potential, this episode lays out a strategy most investors haven't even considered yet.   In this episode: What a self storage yard is and how the business model worksHow Chris scaled from one yard in Ottawa to 168 active yards (and counting)How landowners can turn idle acreage into recurring passive incomeWhat makes a parcel a good fit for a storage yardWhy month-to-month, no-broker, no-lawyer terms are reshaping this nicheWhy this is one of the fastest-growing, least-talked-about categories in outdoor storageChris' Website - https://www.longyards.com/ Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Matt Aitchison spent years flipping and wholesaling hundreds of houses, building the kind of active income most residential investors chase. But it wasn't until he made a deliberate breakthrough into commercial real estate that his portfolio, and his life, changed at an entirely different scale.   Matt is the founder of Imagos Capital and Imagos Group, where he now owns and operates a diverse commercial portfolio spanning retail shopping centers, medical office plazas, mobile home parks, and boutique hotels. He's also the host of the Millionaire Mindcast, a top-rated investing podcast, and has spent over a decade coaching entrepreneurs and investors on how to scale.   In this episode, Matt breaks down exactly what changed when he made the leap from residential to commercial, why the skills that make you successful flipping houses don't automatically translate to commercial deals, and what it actually took to build the systems, relationships, and capital structure to compete at a bigger level. We get into how he evaluates commercial assets across completely different property types, why diversifying into hospitality added a new dimension to his portfolio, and the mindset shifts that had to happen before the numbers ever could.   We also get into something bigger than the deals: what it actually means to build a life and a business you love, not just one that looks successful from the outside. Matt shares his own reflections on pursuing happiness alongside ambition, and why staying connected to purpose has mattered just as much to him as scaling the portfolio.   If you've hit a ceiling in residential real estate and wondered what it would take to break through to the next level, this conversation is the roadmap.   In this episode: Matt's transition from flipping hundreds of houses to commercial real estateWhat actually changed once he broke into shopping centers, medical plazas, and hotelsHow to evaluate and scale across multiple commercial asset classesBuilding the systems and capital relationships commercial deals requireWhy he expanded into boutique hospitality as part of his portfolioA candid conversation on pursuing happiness, purpose, and loving what you do Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Homeowners across the country are sitting on a source of capital they've never thought to use: the equity in their own home. In this episode, Josh Mettle, co-founder of Neo Home Loans, and Ross Zimmerman, a loan officer at Neo, break down exactly how to tap into a HELOC strategically to build and scale a real estate portfolio.   Josh and Ross walk through the national numbers on home equity across the U.S. right now, just how much untapped capital homeowners are sitting on, and why so few people ever use it to their advantage. From there, they get tactical: how a HELOC actually works, how to think about leveraging it responsibly, and the exact steps to take it from an idle line of credit to your down payment on the next property in your portfolio.   We also get into the tax side of building wealth through real estate, including how a cost segregation study works and how investors can legally use their portfolio to significantly reduce what they owe the IRS. If you've ever wondered whether the equity in your home could be doing more for you, or how experienced investors keep more of what they make, this episode is the strategic guide you need.   In this episode: The national numbers on home equity and why so much of it goes untappedHow a HELOC works and how to use one strategically, not recklesslyStep-by-step: turning home equity into your next real estate purchaseHow cost segregation studies work and what they mean for your tax billLegal strategies to pay significantly less in taxes as a real estate investorHow to build a repeatable system for scaling your portfolio using equityBook Strategy Call Directly with Ross Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

While most of his coworkers at Google were spending their paychecks on rent in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, Michael Alberse was living in a van. That decision, along with an obsessive focus on saving and investing, helped him become a millionaire by age 26. In this episode, Michael gets candid about what van life actually looked like while working a high-paying tech job, the sacrifices he made that most people wouldn't consider, and why he believes those years were the foundation for everything he's built since. We talk about the mechanics of compounding interest and why starting early and staying consistent matters more than chasing the next hot investment. Michael also shares his current goal: building $15,000 a month in passive income through a combination of the stock market, real estate, and dividend investing, and the actual strategy behind how he's getting there.   This isn't a story about a lucky break or a single big win. It's a conversation about what it really takes to build wealth on purpose: the trade-offs, the discipline, and the long, unglamorous stretch of consistency that most people give up on before it pays off.   In this episode: What living in a van while working at Google actually looked likeThe sacrifices Michael made in his 20s to accelerate his path to $1MHow compounding interest changes everything when you start early and stay consistentHis current strategy for building $15K/month in passive incomeHow he's blending stock market investing, real estate, and dividends to get thereWhy consistency, not intensity, is the real driver of long-term wealth Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

What's actually protecting your business, your credit, and your estate while you're busy growing all three? Tommy Thornburgh, CEO of Prime Corporate Services and a longtime friend of the show, joins us to fill in those missing pieces. Tommy and his team have helped thousands of entrepreneurs and investors set up the right legal structures, build real business credit separate from their personal credit, and put estate planning in place before it's an emergency, not after. In this episode, we get into why so many business owners are operating with the wrong structure for their stage of growth (and what that actually costs them), how to start building business credit the right way so you're not personally guaranteeing everything forever, and why estate planning isn't just for people nearing retirement, it's for anyone building something they want to protect and eventually pass on. Tommy also shares some of the most common mistakes he sees business owners and investors make, and the simple, practical steps to fix them before they become expensive problems. If you've been heads-down growing your business or your portfolio without stopping to shore up the foundation underneath it, this episode is the one to listen to before your next deal, not after.

Most lenders underwrite the property. Will Harvey underwrites the person — and it's the reason he's funded 45+ loans without a single dollar of principal loss. Will is the Founder and CEO of Harvey Capital, a private credit fund based in Richmond, VA that issues first-lien hard money loans in Central Virginia. Before building Harvey Capital, he sat on the borrower's side of the table as a GP and LP in private syndications, which is exactly why his approach flips the industry standard on its head: know the borrower well enough, and protecting principal stops being a guessing game. In this episode, Will lays out the contrarian beliefs that guide every deal he does; why diversification can actually hide bad underwriting, why the tenth loan to a proven borrower beats the first loan to a stranger, and why high yield was never the real risk in private lending, bad underwriting always was. We get into his conservative approach to leverage, why he caps loans well below full ARV, and why he puts his own money into every deal he funds. We also talk about how accredited investors, including those using Self-Directed IRAs, can access secured real estate income without chasing yield or taking on the risk most people assume comes with it. If you've ever wondered how private lending actually works, or whether there's a way to earn strong, secured returns without gambling on the next hot market, this conversation lays out a real, disciplined framework for doing exactly that. In this episode: Why Will built Harvey Capital around underwriting the borrower, not just the propertyThe case against diversification: how it can mask weak underwritingWhy high yield isn't the risk, bad underwriting isHarvey Capital's track record: 45+ loans funded, 0 principal losses, 70% max ARV LTVHow accredited investors can earn secured income through SDIRAsWill's non-negotiables: conservative leverage, never overpaying, and always having skin in the game Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Andrew Abernathey bought his first apartment complex and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital... at 16 years old. He turned that into Abernathey Holdings, a company that's since expanded into mobile home parks and Class-A self-storage across the Sunbelt, scaled to a multi-million dollar portfolio, and raised tens of millions in capital along the way. But this episode isn't really about the numbers. It's about the question that comes after them: how do you know when enough is enough? Andrew joins us to talk about the arc of his journey, from a teenager obsessed with business and finance to the founder of a real estate holding company with a genuinely wild growth story, and what happened when the pursuit of "more" started colliding with the pursuit of purpose. We get into how he's thought about defining success on his own terms, why he started the Abernathey Foundation to fight human trafficking alongside Unseen, and why he believes the real measure of what he's built isn't the AUM, it's the people and the legacy it can support long after he's gone. If you've ever hit a goal and immediately started chasing the next one without asking why, this conversation is for you. It's part real estate masterclass, part honest look at what happens when you finally get everything you thought you wanted. In this episode: How Andrew raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought his first apartment complex at 16 How he scaled Abernathey Holdings into a multi-million dollar company Why he started asking "how much is enough?" and what changed when he did The Abernathey Foundation and its fight against human trafficking Building generational wealth as a legacy, not just a number   Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator 🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!
