    The Creative Treadmill and What Winning Ads Really Need ft. Matt Drouin

    Richard McGirr interviews Matt Drouin about what actually makes paid ads work for high-ticket offers—and why most people fail when they try to bolt ads onto capital raising without the right infrastructure. Matt breaks down the core “go/no-go” checklist (starting with a crystal-clear offer), choosing the right channel for your ICP (Meta for older, Facebook-group-heavy investors), and why your CRM, follow-up, and speed-to-lead matter as much as the ads themselves. They dig into lead-quality filtering (conditional logic on lead forms), training your pixel with the right conversion signals, and how to think about creative/VSLs, proof, and ad fatigue. Matt’s biggest takeaway: stop DIY-ing it blindly—hire experienced help, because paid is a different beast than organic.

    How Jobs and Institutions Will Shape CRE in 2026 with John Chang

    John Chang shares a deep-dive outlook on the major forces shaping commercial real estate investing in 2026. He explains why job growth is expected to slow significantly, how policy uncertainty and AI-driven productivity are restraining hiring, and what that means for absorption and vacancies across property types. Chang also breaks down interest rate expectations, inflation risks, and why pricing is likely to remain relatively flat despite improving liquidity. He closes with a detailed look at institutional capital returning to the market, where that money is likely to flow, and how private investors can position themselves for stronger relative returns in 2026.

    1031 Exchanges Explained, Rules, Risks and Real-World Strategies ft. Dave Foster

    John interviews Dave Foster, breaking down how investors can legally defer capital gains using 1031 exchanges and why timing, preparation, and the right intermediary matter more than most people realize. Dave explains common misconceptions around the 45-day identification window, how overlapping closings and contingencies can dramatically extend real decision time, and why many investors fail simply by waiting too long to plan. He also covers red flags when choosing a qualified intermediary, limitations of using 1031s in syndications, and practical workarounds for investors transitioning from active ownership into more passive strategies.
