    Episode 89: I Accidentally Ran My First Half Marathon

    Send us Fan Mail Today wasn't supposed to be a half marathon. I woke up planning to run five miles. Five turned into eight. Eight turned into ten. Before I knew it, I was staring down 13.1 miles and asking myself one simple question... "Why not?" In this episode, I share what was going through my mind during the run, the moment my knees started fighting back, and why finishing wasn't the biggest accomplishment of the day. This isn't really a story about running. It's about becoming someone you never thought you'd become—one small decision at a time. If you've ever felt like a big goal was out of reach, I hope this episode reminds you that it usually starts with taking just one more step.

    Episode 88: One Decision Saved Me Thousands

    Send us Fan Mail Most people only see the finished renovation. They don't see the hundreds of small decisions that determine whether a real estate deal actually works.

If you're building wealth through real estate—or simply trying to make better financial decisions—I hope this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what the journey really looks like.

    Episode 87: The Biggest Mistake I Made While Chasing Growth

    Send us Fan Mail I always believed that if I worked hard enough, the results would eventually come. This past week challenged that belief. After spending money to grow my podcast and seeing almost no results, a simple Father's Day video unexpectedly connected with more people than I imagined. It forced me to step back and rethink what growth really looks like. In this episode, I share what that experience taught me about building something meaningful, why people connect with people before they connect with content, and how I'm changing the direction of The Ricky Ricardo Show moving forward. Whether you're building a business, investing in real estate, working a W-2 job, chasing a fitness goal, or simply trying to create a better life for your family, I hope this episode reminds you that growth isn't always about working harder—sometimes it's about changing your approach.

    Episode 86: I Finally Understand Why Most People Stay Comfortable

    Send us Fan Mail I skipped recording an episode last week. Part of it was uncertainty. Part of it was being sick. But honestly… I think part of it was mental exhaustion. In this episode, I open up about: feeling stalled after a successful flipthe pressure of trying to recreate momentumwhy uncertainty becomes emotionally exhaustingquestioning the direction of the podcastwhy most people choose comfort over bigger goalsand realizing this show was never really just about real estateI’m almost 90 episodes into this journey, and for the first time, I feel like the podcast itself is evolving. Real estate may have started the journey… but the transformation happening through it has become much bigger than properties, renovations, or cash flow. This is one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on the show so far. 🎥 Watch the full video episode on YouTube:  youtube.com/@therickyricardoshow 📲 Instagram:  @rickyricardoshow About the show: The Ricky Ricardo Show documents the real journey of building financial freedom through leverage, better decision-making, and real-world lessons — in real time.

    Episode 84: I Think I Misunderstood Freedom

    Send us Fan Mail After selling my first rental property and completing my first flip, I had a realization that caught me off guard. For years, I thought I was chasing real estate. I thought I was chasing cash flow. I thought I was chasing financial freedom. But what if freedom isn't what I thought it was? In this episode, I share what selling my first rental taught me, why getting my money back gave me clarity instead of excitement, and how my definition of success is starting to change.
