    Ryan Brown: Why I Quit Medicine to Build a $41M Self-Storage Empire

    Today, I welcome Ryan Brown to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Ryan's path into real estate was anything but conventional. He grew up in a trailer park, became the first in his family to attend college, and trained as a nurse anesthesiologist at Rush in Chicago before landing a faculty role at USC's Keck School of Medicine. But between long shifts in the operating room and annual surgical mission trips to rural Kenya, Ryan realized he was wired to build something bigger than himself. Today he's the Principal and Co-Founder of Turnbull Equity, a vertically integrated self-storage platform with roughly $41 million in AUM across seven states - combining ownership, capital raising, and a nationwide third-party management arm all under one roof. We kick things off with Ryan's origin story and the single beachfront building (financed at a 1.75% fixed mortgage) that pulled him out of the operating room and into full-time real estate. From there, we get into why self-storage rewards disciplined operators over passive owners, how Ryan runs one of the leanest expense loads in the business, why he treats NOI - not IRR - as his true north, and how his management arm quietly feeds his entire acquisition pipeline. We close on his outlook for self-storage in 2026, how he identifies durable markets in a post-COVID world, and the one investing principle he believes matters more than any return metric.

    Brian Bradley: How the Ultra-Wealthy Protect Their Assets

    Today, I welcome back longtime friend of the program, Brian Bradley, to the Investing Secrets Podcast. Brian has spent years in the trenches of asset protection and legal structuring, working with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and real estate investors to protect what they've built - not just during their lifetime, but across generations. In an environment where lawsuits are more aggressive, misinformation is at an all-time high, and outdated strategies are still being sold as solutions, Brian cuts through the noise with real case law and real structure. We kick things off with the biggest misconceptions in asset protection right now - from the "an LLC solves everything" narrative to the dangerous advice around out-of-state entities, revocable trusts, and offshore loopholes that don't hold up in court. From there, Brian breaks down what a properly structured plan actually looks like: the layered approach using LLCs, management companies, and hybrid trust structures, and why most investors are either underprotected or protected in the wrong way without realizing it. We close on the next level of planning - how to defend your assets while you're alive and preserve and transfer wealth efficiently across generations using dynasty trust structures, while minimizing tax exposure and protecting heirs from their own liabilities. If you're serious about protecting your balance sheet, avoiding costly legal mistakes, and building a structure that holds up under pressure, this one delivers.

    Nick Stromwall: I was TIRED of being a landlord, and then I discovered this...

    Today, I welcome Nick Stromwall to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Nick is part of the team at Rise48 Equity and today he shares how his path from mentoring college students and picking up electric scooters at night led him into real estate investing, multifamily syndications, and ultimately helping investors create passive income with purpose. He breaks down the lessons he learned from buying duplexes and short-term rentals, why he believes syndications offer a more scalable and truly passive path than owning smaller properties yourself, and how the right operator can help investors preserve capital while building long-term wealth. Nick also dives into Rise48’s value-add multifamily strategy across Phoenix, Dallas, and North Carolina, explaining how the firm creates value through renovations, operational efficiencies, and community-focused management while navigating a market that has shifted dramatically over the past few years. With experience as both an active real estate owner and now a capital raiser focused on helping others multiply their money and their impact, he shares lessons that are just as relevant for first-time passive investors as they are for experienced operators trying to build something meaningful.
