Have you ever felt the weight of financial stress pressing down on you, clouding your future?  Our latest conversation with Rondi Lambeth, known as America's Credit Expert, offers an exploration into the transformative power of credit literacy.  Rondi, a former firefighter, narrates his compelling journey to becoming a beacon of hope for those drowning in credit despair.  He emphasizes the often-overlooked link between financial hardship and personal well-being, sharing a tale woven with tragedy and grit, and reminds us that a poor credit score is not a life sentence but a challenge waiting to be overcome. Understanding your FICO credit score might seem as complex as decoding an ancient language, but we break it down with clear, actionable insights.  We delve into the reasons why an archaic model like FICO Model 2 still anchors the mortgage industry, how inquiries and new accounts affect your creditworthiness, and the distinct landscape of building business credit.  This episode is a treasure trove of strategies for entrepreneurs and anyone aiming to navigate the waters of credit scores and emerge financially stronger. Finally, strap in for an emotional ride with the story of a former medevac helicopter pilot, whose resilience in the face of near-fatal accidents and a grueling health battle brings new meaning to the word 'survivor.'  His experiences, from paramotoring with Navy SEALs to experimental treatments for catastrophic injuries, lay out a blueprint for tackling adversity. Through his calm, strategic response to life's chaos, this expert teaches us not just how to survive, but how to thrive amid the most daunting of life's challenges.  #creditexpert #creditscore #rondilambeth #bradweisman --- Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show (formerly known as Real Estate and YOU), where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

When you first hear the question, "What the hell is a podcast?" you might chuckle, but for me, Brad Weisman, it marked the start of something incredible.  My good friend, Toni Reese, is the absolute reason that I do this podcast.  Toni tells HER STORY about the early days of Storytelling through Podcasts and the brave souls who bare their lives on the airwaves.

No story is quite as poignant as the one closest to home.  Toni peels back the curtain on her personal battle with Lipid Storage Disease, revealing the tenacity required for self-advocacy, when dealing with the medical field.  Laughter intermingles with the serious as Tony and I swap stories of hidden talents and past performances before closing with a note of gratitude for the profound impact podcasting, and Tony, have had on my life.  Every Thursday at 7 pm, we're here to bring you more than just conversations—we're here to foster connections that inspire, challenge, and unite us. #thepeoplechronicles #thepeopleacademy #tonireece #getinspiredproject #lipidstoragedisease --- Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show (formerly known as Real Estate and YOU), where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.

Have you ever considered widening your search radius to find the perfect home? Join me with guest Pete Heim, in a thought-provoking discussion on the advantages of looking beyond your current geographic area, especially with the holiday-induced decline in the number of houses on the market.  However, it's not all doom and gloom; with interest rates hitting a four-month low, the potential for job growth and a bolstered economy is on the horizon. In the spirit of keeping you informed, we take you on a journey through the world of real estate loans.  Ever thought about assuming a mortgage (only FHA) from a previous owner? We discuss why this could be a viable option for some.  We also compare the housing market data from this year with last year, emphasizing an increase in average prices and days on the market. To keep things light, we introduce a fascinating product called "Magic Mind," a drink that promises to slash stress levels and boost focus – we could all use a little of that magic, couldn't we? #magicmind To cap things off, we delve into the future of home prices. While a report from Redfin predicts a dip in home prices in 2024, our perspective, based on a survey of 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, is more optimistic. Although there may be a slight decrease in appreciation in 2024, home prices are projected to continue their upward trajectory through 2027.  After considering factors like unemployment rates and inflation, we conclude there's no time for despair in the real estate market. So, join us every Thursday at 7pm for your regular update on the real estate market. Isn't it time to stay ahead of the curve? #bradweisman #peteheim #realestate #thebradweismanshow --- Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show (formerly known as Real Estate and YOU), where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman! 🎙️ Join us for candid conversations, laughter, and a fresh take on the real world.
