Saving Capitalism AJ Osborne

Real estate is a touchy subject: tenants and landlords don't like each other. Tenants believe they are subservient to them, and landlords believe they SHOULD be. Or are the perceptions of each side drastically different than the reality?

In addition, why is our school system so flawed, that most people aren't taught about the best way to make a living? Not everyone is made for the 9-5 lifestyle. And this is a narrative Steve Trang is passionate about changing it. 

What if you don't want to be a landlord, and still want financial freedom?

Cybersecurity is highly technical. You and I probably would not be able to understand a lot of the terms or systems or coding behind it. But revolutionary improvements come from the practical application of technology. So, how do we leverage the tech available to us in our own personal and professional lives? Is it truly the next step for modern businesses?

In this episode, we bring on Darren Gallop, CEO & co-founder of Carbide, a company specializing in Information Security. His insight into the new communication age - particularly with the advent of AI - addresses how everyday security and privacy best practices are often difficult for the average human to make sense of.

Security & privacy are simple ideas, but in practice, they are intensely complex. And businesses today can have very stubborn or "set in their ways" type of leadership. "No, it's my way, or the highway." But that often alienates the employees involved.

Avery and her husband had a great idea one day to purchase a home and to rent it out, in hopes that one day, they will be able to help fund their kids' education with the income. They didn't even know this was known as "Real Estate Investing." At the time, there was no such thing as podcasts or courses to talk about this. 

This idea then morphed into AirBNBs and short-term rentals, and she has been doing it for over a decade. But this asset class has changed dramatically over that time. States are changing laws and imposing regulations, all while the competition is increasing. With all the noise about short-term rentals lately, is it still worth investing in? 

Stay tuned!

Real estate investing has two forms: active and passive. Passive is what most people think of when you say real estate investing, where you buy an asset, and it generates some sort of cashflow for you. Active investing takes this and applies the principles of business, including scale, value-add, management, and more.

Today's guest, John Klingelhoets, began investing in real estate a decade ago. But during this process, he found it very beneficial to send letters - direct mail - to help him find more deals. Eventually, the deals started coming in, his friends wanted letters just like his, and it became a direct mail business.

If you think of real estate as not just an asset, but also a business, you can take advantage of a powerful aspect of capitalism: Business-to-Business sales, or known as B2B. But of course, if the businesses provided services to each other are YOUR businesses, there's much more opportunity to expand into multiple niches at once. 

So, how can you leverage the power of B2B to grow your real estate portfolio? And can direct mail play a role into it? Find out in this week's episode!

Can luck dictate one's success in business? Absolutely. But looking at another's success or luck does not mean that you lose something in exchange. Luck is something I fully believe can be CREATED.

For example, when I was paralyzed and stuck in a hospital bed, many may say - how is that lucky? That seems like terrible luck. But looking back today, I feel grateful for this experience. It's shaped my new life, my mission, and my day to day. I was stripped away of any self-pride or self-consciousness. This enabled me to take to new heights in my life and business. This podcast is just one of the new beginnings.

I would never trade this experience. It was SO valuable...in hindsight. Looking back, I had a choice: I could give up, or I could use it to my advantage. 

When you are faced with overwhelming odds or extremely bad luck, what choice will YOU make?

2024 is yet another pivotal election year for the United States. But if we've learned anything from the last few elections, there is a tremendous amount of fearmongering, noise, and propaganda that can result from a journalistic system incentivized by money and clicks.   

This is why I'm HYPER-aware of anything that intends to change or influence my perceived reality. We all perceive the world differently, right? Is there a right or wrong way to perceive it?   

When I experienced ICU Delirium, it changed how I looked at the world. Literally. My nerves told me I was standing up, while I was laying down. But my mind created a reality where I was. Ever since, I've been very wary of what the "news" tells me.   

Are you?
