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.

    #349: Your Business Is Waiting on YOU—How AI Can Fix That | Build With Operators Part 3

    If every decision, email, and maintenance request has to go through you, your business can only move as fast as you do. And working longer hours won’t fix that. In Part 3 of the Build With Operators AI series, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner bring you Collin Schwartz’s live presentation from Omaha REIA—the event that sparked this eight-part series. Collin breaks down how real estate investors and business owners can use AI to tackle repetitive work, find the problems slowing them down, and free up time for the decisions that actually need them. From tenant maintenance calls and overflowing inboxes to multifamily deal analysis and lending dashboards, Collin shares practical examples from his businesses. He explains how to decide what to automate, what needs human oversight, what should stay in your hands, and what you should stop doing altogether. His 10–80–10 approach puts you in charge of the direction and final review while AI handles the heavy lifting in between. The challenge: pick one process that eats up your week and improve it before chasing twenty new tools. Collin also gets honest about the time, money, and trial and error he’s invested in learning AI—and why building something impressive doesn’t automatically make it useful. What’s the biggest bottleneck in your business? Drop it in the comments or send your questions to onair@kashanddash.com. Ted and Owen will answer what they can and bring Collin in for the deeper AI questions. Interested in the Build With Operators workshop mentioned in this episode? Email us to ask for details.

    #348: Stop Chasing Money. Start Buying Back Your Time. with Mark Rollag

    A handshake deal. A $100,000 payday. Then, five minutes later, a phone call with a million-dollar offer. Mark Rollag joins hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner on Episode 348 of The Kash and Dash Show to share how a farm deal turned into a much bigger payday—for the guy he’d just agreed to sell it to. From selling a $32 million private jet to finding overlooked opportunities in farmland, Mark shares how asking questions and building relationships have opened doors throughout his career. He also gets honest about the money he’s left on the table and why having someone challenge your ideas can save you from an expensive mistake. The conversation covers landowners who don’t realize what their property is worth, simple sales habits that business owners overlook, and the difference between building a company and creating a job you can never leave. Mark also shares how he uses AI to research opportunities, save time, and keep learning. Through it all, one idea keeps coming back: What’s the point of building wealth if you never make time to enjoy it? For Mark, every day is a bucket-list day. Want to connect with Mark? Find him on LinkedIn or Facebook, or ask him about My Trusted CMO for help with lead generation.

    #347: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

    Is wholesaling becoming more trouble than it’s worth? Ted’s take: “Just end it.” In episode 347 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner get into the growing pressure on real estate wholesalers, takeaways from Omaha REIA’s wholesale transactions event, and proposed Nebraska changes that could reshape how deals get done. They debate the impact on sellers, investors, and lenders—and where new opportunities could emerge as the rules change. But first: are shiny objects making you money or just stealing your attention? Ted shares what a 12-hour day fixing his car wash really looks like, why he’s still pursuing more locations, and why he passed on an offer to help launch a lending business. Owen weighs in on the cost of splitting your focus and why your most profitable business deserves more of your time. Along the way, they cover partnership lessons, Owen’s unexpected tax refund, and a window replacement estimate that could ruin anyone’s afternoon. Are you chasing the right opportunities—or taking on too much? And is wholesaling worth saving? Tell us in the comments.

    #346: Can One AI Bot Replace a $100K Marketing Team? | Build With Operators – Part 2

    What if your next marketing hire wasn’t a hire at all? In Part 2 of our eight-part AI series, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner welcome back Neil Galas and Collin Schwartz, alongside special guest Aaron, to explore how business owners can turn AI into something that actually saves time and makes money. Neil shares how he uses AI to turn original content into 100–150 marketing pieces—a workflow he estimates would otherwise require roughly $100,000 in salaries to match. The conversation breaks down the human input and review behind that process, why generic prompts produce generic results, and how building an AI “brain” around your business can make its output more useful. The group also explores connecting business tools, turning meeting recordings into action items, choosing which repetitive tasks to automate, and the tradeoffs between cloud-based and locally hosted AI. Don’t want to spend hundreds of hours figuring it all out? They discuss what working with an AI implementation team can look like through Build With Operators. Then the conversation gets bigger: Is AI headed toward a dot-com-style bubble? How could driverless cars change real estate and daily life? And if technology eventually does more of our work, what happens to our sense of purpose? What’s one task you’d gladly hand off to AI—and are you betting on a better future or Idiocracy?

    #345: He Works With 100+ Investment Groups—He’d Only Invest With 5 | Ted Lanzaro

    A great pitch doesn’t mean a great investment. And trusting someone with your money doesn’t mean you can stop paying attention. Real estate CPA, investor, and author Ted Lanzaro joins Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner on The Kash and Dash Show to talk about what happens when investors overlook the numbers. He works with more than 100 investment groups—but says he’d invest his own money with only about five. His reasons are worth hearing before you write your next check. Ted shares stories from his forensic accounting work, including a bookkeeper who stole from a business for 20 years without getting caught. He also explains how rising expenses and risky debt can sink real estate deals, why “passive” investing still takes work, and why sending more money into a struggling investment deserves a closer look. The conversation gets personal as Ted walks through his own investing mistakes, missed opportunities, and decision to step back from flipping houses to focus on his CPA business and family. We also discuss why your CPA should be part of the conversation before you buy or sell—not just when it’s time to file your taxes. Ted introduces his book, Year-Round Tax Planning for Real Estate Investors, and the Landmark Wealth Framework, along with plans for free educational resources to help investors make more informed decisions. Watch for follow-up details about his book and resources through The Kash and Dash Show and Omaha REIA.

    #344: The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted

    Owning millions in real estate doesn’t mean you have the cash to fix what breaks. In episode 344 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner get honest about the expensive side of investing: surprise repairs, shrinking margins, and money tied up in properties when you need it most. Owen shares how a potential $300,000–$500,000 elevator replacement forced him to rethink his cash reserves—and how a loan reset pushed his monthly payment from roughly $6,600 to $11,500. Add two failed AC units and a $5,300 sewer repair, and “passive income” starts sounding a lot less passive. Meanwhile, Ted shares what he’s learning from buying and repairing self-serve car washes, including why he’s holding off on a full rebrand—and how a broken vacuum delivered an unexpected payday. In this unscripted conversation: • Why equity and available cash are two very different things. • How unexpected repairs and longer timelines can eat your flip profits. • What Owen is seeing in loan requests from investors running short on cash. • Why realistic rehab budgets, cash reserves, and backup exit plans matter. • The questions Ted and Owen are exploring around cost segregation and equipment replacement. • How treating a seller well can bring another deal years later. There’s also a surprise Cancun proposal, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that experienced investors still get expensive lessons. Enjoyed the episode?

    #343: You’re Using AI Wrong—and It’s Costing You Time & Money | Build with Operators, Part 1

    You’re using AI to write emails. What if it could handle the work that’s eating your entire day? In Episode 343 of The Kash and Dash Show, we kick off Build with Operators, an eight-part AI series featuring Neil Galas and Collin Schwartz. They share how they’re putting AI to work inside their businesses—and why getting better results starts with giving it better context. Neil breaks down how he turned a full day of bank statement processing into roughly 15 minutes and built a system that pulls loan updates from company emails into one searchable dashboard. Collin shares how his team tackled projects in 24 hours that would normally fill a 90-day planning cycle. Ted also shares how digging into his Airbnb data with AI uncovered opportunities to rethink his pricing. Inside this episode: • Why generic prompts produce generic results. • How to give AI the background it needs to understand your business. • Which repetitive tasks are good candidates for automation. • The 10/80/10 approach: set the vision, let AI do the heavy lifting, then review the result. • How the guests choose between ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools. • Why permissions, boundaries, and human review matter when connecting business systems. The goal: get your time back, remove bottlenecks, and put your team’s energy where it matters most. Want help putting this into practice? Neil and Collin are hosting a two-day Build with Operators AI workshop November 5–6 for business operators. Learn the foundations, identify what’s slowing your business down, and work on building a tool for your company.

    #342: Walking Away From a Career He Loved to Be a More Present Dad with Jacob Stevenson

    What happens when the career you love starts costing you moments you can’t get back? Jacob “Jake” Stevenson spent 12 years coaching college wrestling. But when his wife called to tell him their son had won his first wrestling match, Jake was somewhere else—coaching someone else’s kid. He was crying in the corner of a match, realizing his future might need to look different. In episode 342 of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch & Owen Dashner sit down with Jake to unpack his move from college coaching into insurance agency ownership and a 17-property real estate portfolio. Jake shares the messy parts, too: an eight-property partnership that fell apart, an Airbnb guest situation that brought the cops and angry neighbors, and the challenge of handing off work when you’re used to doing everything yourself. In this episode: • The moment Jake began questioning his future in coaching. • Buying an insurance agency without a background in the industry. • Building a portfolio of college rentals, small multifamily properties, and commercial space. • Using a virtual assistant team to handle Airbnb guest communication. • Why friendship and trust weren’t enough to make a business partnership work. • Growing businesses with his wife, Jess, while raising four kids. • Defining success around the life you actually want to live. There are deals, hard lessons, and plenty of laughs—but the question underneath it all is simple: Is the business you’re building giving you more of the life you want? Hear more from Jake on his podcast, On the Same Team, available on Spotify, Amazon, and other podcast platforms.
