The Kash & Dash Show is where real conversations happen around business, entrepreneurship, real estate, and the people behind it all. Hosted by Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner, this show goes deeper than the usual surface-level interview. We talk with investors, business owners, and high-level operators about the grind, the growth, the setbacks, the lessons, and the legacy they’re building. This is not just a deals podcast. It’s about the real person behind the business — what drives them, what they’ve learned, what they’re still figuring out, and what success has actually cost them along the way. Each week, you’ll hear honest interviews, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of stories you usually do not hear in a traditional business or real estate show. Grind. Growth. Legacy.

    #361: Is Busywork Costing You $50,000? | Build With Operators Ep. 7

    Your properties are supposed to make you money. So why are you still buried in utility bills, insurance notices, and an inbox that never quits? In Week 7 of Build With Operators on The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner join Collin Schwartz to discuss how AI can help real estate investors turn everyday headaches into better business systems. The conversation starts with cybersecurity concerns, emergency preparedness, and how dependent we’ve become on technology. Then it gets personal: Ted’s inbox is eating his time, and Owen is tired of chasing utility bills and matching insurance policy numbers to properties. Sound familiar? Collin shares how he used recorded mastermind conversations, Plaud, and Claude to create outreach materials, action plans, and introductions during a 15-minute break. Owen also explains how automating his weekly market report replaced roughly two hours of research and preparation. The challenge: Pick one recurring task that frustrates you this week. Map out the problem, gather the information, and take the first step toward fixing it. What’s the biggest time-waster in your business? Drop it in the comments, subscribe to The Kash and Dash Show, and share this episode with an investor who’s drowning in busywork.

    #360: Her Dream Airbnb Became a Money Pit | Real Estate Lessons with Amber Bess

    A vacation rental near Disney sounds like a dream investment—until the income doesn’t cover the bills. On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with investor, Realtor, and former sonographer Amber Bess for an honest conversation about making money, making mistakes, and knowing when to walk away. Amber shares how her first flip delivered a $48,000 profit despite live termites, a sewage backup, and a renovation budget that jumped from $50,000 to $86,000. But the wins didn’t make her immune to a bad deal. She breaks down why her Florida Airbnb became a money pit, how the income fell short of expectations, and why finally selling it felt like freedom. Amber also introduces Aligned and Unhinged, her podcast with Rachel Vaida and Jamie Flanagan, covering real estate, business, mindset, and life. Connect with Amber about the five-bedroom Papillion rental she mentioned in the episode, subject to availability. Know someone considering their first flip or Airbnb?

    #359: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

    The easy money crowd is getting a reality check. Repairs cost real money, deals take work, and the strategy that worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. Ted shares what’s really happening with his Louisville and Yutan car washes—from a $1,700 paint purchase to rebuilding a property that has been shut down for three years. He explains why he’s taking the Yutan location cashless, the upgrades he’s making, and his plan to refinance and use equity to improve his other location. Owen breaks down recent deals that show there’s still opportunity in this market, including a rental purchased for $85,000 and sold for $149,000. The guys also discuss a $250,000 laundromat opportunity that slipped away, their concerns about the direction of wholesaling regulation, and why relationships and follow-through still help investors find deals. There are still deals out there. The question is whether you’re prepared to recognize them—and follow through.

    #357: Five Rentals. Zero Vacancy. Michael Freed’s Oxford House Strategy

    Five rental houses. Zero vacancy. Zero tenant turns. Michael Freed shares why his Oxford House rentals have become his favorite properties—and why he’d choose them over another Airbnb. Our first-ever interview guest returns to The Kash and Dash Show to catch up with hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner on everything that’s changed since episode 2. After leaving a $170,000-a-year electrical career to pursue real estate, Michael went back to a W-2 job. His reason? Rebuild cash, let his portfolio mature, and make decisions that fit his family. We dig into his experience renting homes to Oxford House sober living households, what makes a property a good fit, and why investors should contact their local outreach worker before buying or renovating. Michael shares how five of these rentals have operated without vacancy or tenant turns during his ownership, while providing a home for people rebuilding their lives. This is an honest conversation about adjusting your plan, keeping your priorities straight, and building a business that supports the life you actually want. Want to learn more about Oxford Houses? Head to The Kash and Dash Show’s YouTube channel, open the Live tab, and search for the Oxford House presentation with Ken Norman. If you’re considering this strategy, start by contacting your local Oxford House outreach worker to learn what housing they need. Go back to episode 2 to hear where Michael’s journey started, and subscribe for more real conversations about business, real estate, and building wealth.

    #356: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

    A big real estate portfolio doesn’t mean you have cash to pay the next big repair bill. And another “great deal” might be the last thing your life needs. On this Unscripted episode of The Kash and Dash Show, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get honest about the gap between building wealth and actually feeling financially secure. Owen shares why he’s planning to pull nearly $200,000 in equity from seven rental properties—and why deciding whether to sell, refinance, or keep collecting cash flow is anything but simple. Ted brings back takeaways from BiggerPockets’ conference, including conversations about adapting to a tougher market and why someone’s online presence tells you very little about their actual portfolio. Then the conversation gets personal: the stress business owners carry home, what they share with their spouses, and why having people who understand the pressure matters. Owen also mentions a potential rehab opportunity for interested investors. Reach out to him through Owen Money Real Estate to ask whether it’s still available.

    #355: Stop Using AI Like Google: Put It to Work in Your Business | Build With Operators Ep. 5

    If you’re only using AI to answer questions and rewrite emails, you’re barely scratching the surface. In Episode 355 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner join Collin Schwartz and Neil Gallus for another installment of Build With Operators. This time, we’re asking the questions business owners actually care about: What can AI take off my plate? How do I protect my information? And what does it cost to get real help? Ted shares how connecting AI to his existing tools helped him organize tax files and tackle projects he’d been putting off. Owen explains how an automated weekly report finally gave their lending business a clear picture of available capital, upcoming loans, and potential problems. Collin also shares a client example where better visibility helped uncover $60,000 in duplicate billing, while Neil describes turning an eight-hour employee task into roughly ten minutes. The point isn’t to collect more software. It’s to fix the problems costing you time and money. In this episode: • Connecting AI to the tools you already use. • Why giving AI context about your business changes the quality of its output. • Permissions, approvals, and security questions to consider before handing off tasks. • Using dashboards and automated reports to catch costly mistakes. • When a locally hosted AI setup might make sense—and when simpler tools will do. • What working with Build With Operators looks like, including consulting and pricing. • Why understanding your business processes comes before building bots. Ready to put these ideas to work? Collin and Neil discuss their October 21–23 online workshop for small business owners and solopreneurs, plus a November 5–6 in-person workshop focused on business systems and automation. An Omaha REIA member discount is also mentioned. Subscribe to The Kash and Dash Show, leave an honest review, and share this episode with a business owner who’s buried in tasks.

    #354: What Is Success Really Costing You? Real Estate, Burnout & Starting Over with Rachel Vaida

    What good is building wealth if you’re too burned out to enjoy the life you’re building? Rachel Vaida joins Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner for a conversation that starts with a real estate deal gone sideways and gets personal fast. From leaving healthcare to making just $2,000 on her first flip, Rachel shares how she found her footing in real estate—and why owning hundreds of doors was never her goal. When a serious health crisis forced her to step back, her rental income helped support her family while she focused on recovery. That experience changed how she thought about work, freedom, and what success actually looks like. We get into the pressure to keep doing more, the guilt of getting help along the way, and why being physically home doesn’t always mean you’re present. Rachel also shares her perspective on mindset, spirituality, and the small routines that help her leave work stress behind instead of handing it to her family. It’s an honest conversation about making money, knowing when to slow down, and building a business that gives you room to live. Check out Rachel’s podcast, Aligned and Unhinged, and hear more about her approach to coaching business owners and high performers in this episode.
