Ready for your next big thing? Well, that takes intentionality and shifting from a fear-based mindset to a mindset of opportunities.

In today’s conversation, Ben Kall, former Division 1 athlete and coach turned real estate agent and investor shares his journey from sports to real estate. Ben is an example of what it’s like to chase the next big thing – not the next shiny object. Ben went into real estate as just a holdover job until he was able to find something in sports again.

Now back in his hometown for about seven years , Ben’s real estate team is consistently one of the top five teams within their RE/MAX franchise. Ben was also able to build his own real estate portfolio of over $20 million in assets consisting

Regardless of what your past looks like – whether you’ve had some addiction issues,  been incarcerated, had a failed marriage, or whatever situation you were in due to a bad decision you’ve made–there’s nothing you can do to change your past. But you can always focus on the present and work towards a better, brighter future. You either create excuses or create opportunities ; it’s your choice! In today’s conversation, Michael Santos, the founder of Prison Professors, talks about how a drug kingpin serving a 45-year sentence, managed to change the course of his life and to craft his own success story.

Defiance – that’s one word that would probably best describe a great entrepreneur. For real estate investor and property manager, Carlos Rovira, a rare quality is being able to do things out of the ordinary as you’re operating in a mediocre world. You’re going against the grain and you’re taking risks that nobody else is doing. After working at tech company Yahoo! for nine years, Carlos made a leap into the real estate investing space. A natural problem-solver, he assumed management of his entire Kansas portfolio when he encountered an issue with his property manager. He then ended up building his own property management business and creating systems around it – not something any investor would have done if they didn’t have the entrepreneurial chops. In today’s conversation, Carlos shares his insights into these three entrepreneurial must-haves –  defiance, problem-solving, and strong relationships! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [01:42] Carlos’ career background [05:47] Transit

How are you feeling about all the noise in the world today? All the voices saying to be scared when you see opportunity?

The problem is – motivation could easily wane and go down the drain if you haven’t yet figured out ways to break the barriers that block you from creating healthy habits. In today’s conversation, Dr. Jaime Hope talks about the four pillars of health – nourishing food, energizing exercise, restorative sleep, and stress release – and how to reinforce those by cultivating healthier and sustainable habits. A huge part of that involves intentionality, knowing your why, changing the way you view yourself, and taking action steps to get from your intention to your outcome. Dr. Hope is an investor, speaker, author, coach, businesswoman, athlete, and author of “Habit That: How You Can Health Up in Just 5 Minutes a Day.” Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [01:40] Jaime’s background [06:03] Her decision to go outside of the academics [08:09] The four pillars of health [09:35] The ratio between nourishing food and entertainment food [13:43] The power of hab

What has been your greatest crucible in life? Today’s guest Harvey Yergin decided to leave his W-2 job  to become a stay-at-home dad. He called that period of his life his crucible yet he learned a lot about himself. Harvey grew up having this structure of success in mind where the men work hard and don’t complain. Their worth was mostly based on how much money they made, how successful they were, what kind of car they drove, how big their house was, or what neighborhood they were in. Harvey’s self-esteem was built on that structure yet he ended up destroying it without understanding what the consequences of it would have been. Once he came out of it, he found his calling in real estate, and ultimately, bought a franchise of HomeVestors: We Buy Ugly Houses.

How do you build a brand that lasts? Today’s guest, entrepreneur and author, Brad Lea would tell you that you have to be everywhere, every day. This was the exact opposite of what he told 10x entrepreneur Grant Cardone way back, for posting too much on social media. Good thing he didn’t listen to him because Brad learned his lesson and he learned it the hard way. After eight years of helping Grant build his brand up and building stages for other people, Brad finally decided to build a stage for himself. He realized that the best way to blow up any business is to get more attention and more relationships. Brad is the host of the Dropping Bombs podcast and author of “Lessons I Learned the Hard Way So You Don’t Have To.” He is also the creator of LightSpeed VT, a multimillion-dollar interactive technology that allows people to create interactive content so they could invest their way out of the rat race.
