Be Wealthy is for real estate pro's who are crushing sales… and still realizing commissions don’t equal wealth. If you’re doing big volume but your money isn’t turning into assets, freedom, or a real plan, this show is your wake-up call. Host Brett Tanner breaks down the exact strategies high-earning agents use to stop trading time for money, start investing like a family office, build passive income, and protect what they’ve worked so hard to earn. No fluff. No guru garbage. Just the playbook to get rich on purpose instead of by accident.
If you’re ready to build real wealth beyond your next deal, apply for the Be Wealthy Mastermind or book a call at BeWealthy.com.

18 Life Lessons I Wrote My Son When He Turned 18 | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
When my son Cooper turned 18, I gave him my favorite journal with a letter inside. It took me about four months to write, and almost none of it is about money. Katelyn and I go through all 18 lessons, from the question I ask before any risk ("can I get back here?") to why low expenses beat a big income and why I think an 18-year-old is already behind. Then I share 5 bonus lessons that didn't make the letter. If you've got kids, steal it.

I Built an AI Assistant That Does the Work of 5 Hires | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Six months ago I was using AI like a Google search. Today I'd need five more people reporting to me to do what my AI assistant (I named him Jarvis) does for me. Katelyn tells the story of the day I locked her in my Tesla and zigzagged her across Arizona to look at six deals I had underwritten overnight. Then I walk through the 8 steps in the order I did them: name it, write its rule book, set the guardrails, build directives, connect your tools, build skills, move them to GitHub and put an accountability system on top.

Rich vs Wealthy: What Real Estate Investors Get Wrong
2026/10/07
Rich vs wealthy, explained by Brett Tanner and Katelyn Mitchell: why your job and your rental properties can make you rich but not wealthy, and the math real estate investors use to move into commercial real estate.
📊 RUN YOUR RENTAL THROUGH BRETT'S MODEL
Brett won't buy a rental without a 45% expense ratio baked in and a 2% spread over his borrowing rate. Plug in one of yours and see if it clears that bar. bewealthy.com/reality-check

Rich vs Wealthy: What Real Estate Investors Get Wrong | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
I was on the road to a thousand rentals. I got to 130 and there was nothing about it that felt wealthy. Katelyn and I walk through the three boxes from George Antone's book The Wealthy Code (job, rich and wealthy) and run the math on each one: the 222 deals behind a $1 million net income goal, why $100,000 a month from rentals takes 400 to 500 houses, and the four ideas from George's book that get you out of small assets and into commercial real estate you control.

7 Life Goals That Keep You From Building Wealth | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
In February 2012 I walked off the Keller Williams awards stage with the number three group in the company, and 90 seconds later I realized I had won a climb somebody else picked for me. After more than 10,000 hours coaching agents, investors and business owners one on one, I see people climb the same seven mountains over and over, and I climbed two of them myself. Katelyn and I walk through all seven, including the one that fooled me all the way to 130 rentals, then give you the homework to figure out which one you're on adn whether you picked it.

Why I'm Selling My Rental Properties (I Owned 130) | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Five years ago I owned 130 single family rentals. Today I'm down to 19, and in their place I own a Starbucks, a Denny's, a retail building with two national credit tenants, a cell tower leased to AT&T, natural gas royalties, and 63 units in northern Arizona. Katelyn and I walk through every one of those 1031 exchanges wiht the real closing numbers, why return on equity is the number that finally told me to move, and the two things to check on your own portfolio before you decide to keep it.

How $15,000 Becomes $300,000 in Real Estate | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Last week Brett made the case that your single family rentals might be quietly losing. This week he shows you the other game. A single family house gets valued by your neighbor's kitchen. A commercial building gets valued by the income it produces, and you control that income. Brett walks through the two formulas that run the whole thing, how a $15,000 swing in operating income can add $300,000 in value, and how to move your equity out of houses and into commercial without handing the IRS a check on the way. Part 2 of 2.

The Numbers Every Business Owner Should Know (But Most Never Track) | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Brett and Katelyn break down the numbers behind every business, the ones most owners never actually look at. Lead and lag indicators, profit margin, expense ratio, cost of goods, conversion ratios, and the one number Brett checks every Monday morning to know if his future is better than his past. If you run your business on gut feel and whatever is left in the checking account, this one is going to sting in a good way.

How Wealthy Parents Raise Kids With Money | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Most parents swear they don't want entitled kids, then hand them everything and hope it works out. Brett and Katelyn dig into how wealthy families actually teach money, from soup-patrol chore charts and a lemonade-stand tenant farmer to the forced sale of apartment shares that finally taught Katelyn what ownership means. This is the finale of the 6-part Money Framework series, and it lands on one idea: your kids don't inherit your net worth, they inherit your money habits.

How You Should Spend Money | Be Wealthy Podcast
Most people never actually decide how to spend their money. They let their neighborhood, their industry, and their social feed decide for them, then wonder why more income never feels like enough. In the last stop of the money series, Brett and Katelyn lay out the Be Wealthy spending framework: three questions that take the guilt and the guesswork out of it, the rules wealthy people live behind instead of deciding from scratch, and why the richest people you know spend in ways that look weird from the outside.

The Only 5 Meetings You Need to Run A Business (Part 1) | Brett Tanner & Katelyn Mitchell
Brett runs every one of his 34 companies on the same five meetings, and in this one he walks through where they came from and why they work. Katelyn pushes him on why he still tracks 15 numbers in a plain spreadsheet instead of a dashboard full of red and green dials. The line that sticks: most people in business are losing so slow they think they're winning. If you've never built a flash report or sat down for a real annual plan, this is where you start.
