    What My Daughter Taught Me About Success | Thalia Cuadra | Ep. 115

    In this episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, Alfonso Cuadra sits down with his daughter, Thalia Cuadra, for an honest conversation about growing up around entrepreneurship, finding your own path, and what it means to build something that lasts. Now entering a new chapter in her life and career, Thalia reflects on her transition from a stable 9-to-5 career into the entrepreneurial world. She shares how stepping outside of her comfort zone, surrounding herself with high-performing people, and being exposed to new opportunities has helped her discover what truly fulfills her. The conversation also explores the unique experience of being the daughter of a successful entrepreneur. Thalia opens up about the expectations that can come with that, while Alfonso shares why he doesn't simply want his children to inherit what he's built—he wants them to build legacies of their own. They also dive into The Godfather's Offer, where Thalia has taken on a behind-the-scenes production role, helping bring the new real estate series to life. She shares what surprised her most about the production process and why creating content and building a brand takes far more work than most people realize. Finally, Thalia discusses 6TEN, the community she co-founded with Tony and Samantha to help young entrepreneurs and investors build skills, connections, and opportunities outside of their traditional careers. Built around the philosophy that “9 to 5 pays the bills, 6 to 10 builds the empire,” the community encourages young people to use their time outside of work to invest in themselves and build something meaningful. This episode is about more than real estate. It's about growth, generational wealth, mindset, finding fulfillment, and taking ownership of your future. 👇 In this episode, you'll learn: • What it's like growing up around entrepreneurship and business  • How to transition from a 9-to-5 into a more entrepreneurial path  • Why fulfillment matters just as much as financial success  • The importance of surrounding yourself with people who push you to grow  • What happens behind the scenes of The Godfather's Offer  • How 6TEN is helping young entrepreneurs and investors build their future  • Why mindset may be the most valuable form of generational wealth 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, and building long-term wealth.

    Why Smart Investors Are Leaving Major Markets | Edmundo Roa | Ep. 114

    In this episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, host Alfonso Cuadra sits down with longtime friend and real estate professional Edmundo Roa for a conversation that goes way beyond real estate. Alfonso and Edmundo go back nearly 35 years, and in this episode they revisit their journey from growing up together to eventually building successful careers in real estate. Edmundo shares how he transitioned away from his family's travel business after nearly two decades in the industry and made real estate his primary focus. The conversation dives deep into multifamily investing, secondary and tertiary markets, financing, and the importance of starting small. Edmundo explains why new investors shouldn't always rush into massive projects and why understanding your market, building the right relationships, and earning your experience can make all the difference. They also discuss why Edmundo has focused heavily on secondary markets around Ottawa, how these communities can offer more accessible development opportunities, and why population growth and housing demand could create significant opportunities for investors outside Canada's major urban centres. But perhaps the biggest theme throughout the episode is relationships. Edmundo built his business around client service, repeat business, and word-of-mouth rather than chasing volume. Alfonso shares firsthand stories of working with Edmundo and why he's become someone he trusts for some of his most important real estate transactions. Whether you're a new investor or already building a portfolio, this episode is packed with practical lessons about multifamily real estate, secondary markets, relationships, and building a business that lasts. 👇 In this episode, you'll learn: • How Edmundo transitioned from the travel industry into real estate  • Why new investors should consider starting smaller  • The opportunities in secondary and tertiary real estate markets  • Why financing is one of the biggest challenges in multifamily investing  • How to identify promising communities outside major cities  • Why client relationships can be more valuable than advertising  • The importance of building your reputation through service and trust 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on real estate investing, entrepreneurship, mindset, and building long-term wealth.
