    324. Stephanie Shojaee: Inside Her $6B+ Real Estate Empire, $240K Payday & “Filthy Rich” Goals

    This week, Jason is joined by The Real Housewives of Miami standout and Shoma Group president Stephanie Shojaee for a conversation about building massive wealth, growing a multi-billion-dollar real estate business, and why relentless ambition has been at the center of everything she has accomplished. The first-generation Colombian American opens up about growing up determined to become “filthy rich,” eventually helping lead a development company that has completed more than $6 billion in real estate transactions—and using reality TV as a platform to expand the Shoma brand globally. Stephanie breaks down how her approach to money changed after meeting her husband, Masoud, from focusing solely on earning and saving to investing, using debt strategically, and continuously putting capital back to work. She shares how her modern approach to branding and marketing helped increase Shoma’s business by roughly 30%, while expanding its recognition beyond South Florida and into markets including Dubai. She also reveals the unforgettable $240,000 payday she earned after refusing to give up on a deal that fell apart three separate times. Jason and Stephanie also dive into her unconventional leadership style, including building Shoma’s nine-person, all-women Latina marketing team largely with young hires straight out of school. Stephanie explains why she believes in discipline, tough love, and throwing employees “in the pool” to see whether they sink or swim—and why she has no problem moving on quickly when someone isn’t the right fit. Plus, Stephanie gets candid about life on The Real Housewives of Miami, why she originally turned the show down for years, and why representing an ambitious, successful Latina businesswoman ultimately helped change her mind. She also shares the wild story of having more than $200,000 worth of belongings stolen from her villa in Cannes, her thoughts on prenups and combining love and money, and the luxury purchase that recently made her say, “Damn, that was expensive”—an Hermès bracelet costing upwards of $250,000. Stephanie reveals why putting on the blinders, eliminating distractions, investing rather than simply earning, and staying relentlessly focused on your goals have been key to her success. She also leaves Jason with a different kind of trading secret: after 15 years with her husband, never go to bed angry and never allow disrespect to become normalized in a relationship. She reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss! Host: Jason Tartick Audio: John Gurney Video: Marc Colcer Guest: Stephanie Shojaee Learn more about your ad choices.

    322. Rachel Mansfield: From Food Blogger to Raising $3M & Selling in 2,000+ Target Stores

    This week, Jason is joined by food creator, entrepreneur, investor, and cadootz! co-founder Rachel Mansfield for a conversation about turning an unexpected firing into a multi-faceted career spanning content, consumer brands, and venture investing. Rachel breaks down getting fired from her $54,000 corporate job after her food blog was viewed as a conflict of interest, giving herself six months to make it on her own, and ultimately surpassing her old salary within that timeframe. She reveals how brand partnerships, affiliate revenue, and evergreen recipe content helped turn her online following into a legitimate business. Jason and Rachel also dive into the economics behind cookbooks and venture investing, including why a $100,000 book advance can disappear quickly when photography alone can cost $60,000–$100,000. Rachel shares how she went from promoting brands to investing in them, eventually launching a venture fund with her husband that has raised roughly $3.5–$4 million and invested across more than 20 brands. Plus, Rachel breaks down building cadootz!, including spending roughly $500,000 developing the product, selling out its first online launch within hours, raising a $3 million seed round, and landing a nationwide Target rollout that has expanded to more than 2,000 stores. Rachel reveals why diversifying your income, building ownership, and constantly finding new opportunities within your niche have been key to her success. She reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss! Host: Jason Tartick
