Most people will face personal and professional challenges at some point in their life. Whether it’s an addiction, cancer, or even just bad luck, everyone has a story that isn’t always told or known. And today, we’re focusing on 4 traits that successful people all seem to have that have helped them not only survive but emerge on the other side with incredible careers and success.
My guest today is Caleb Johnson. He’s been an entrepreneur since he was 18; he’s done five real estate multifamily syndications and is now a full-time real estate investor and business owner. He’s also the host of From Trial to Triumph podcast, where he talks to people about the challenging times they’ve faced in life.
With that in mind, Caleb joins me today for a wonderful conversation about the four traits that accelerate success in life and business: responsibility to others, giving, making decisions, and never quitting. If you’re ready to make these traits your own–and find out how others have used them to make it through extraordinary circumstances–this episode is for you. 
Key Takeaways with Caleb Johnson
How Caleb went from being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” as an antisocial, troubled teen to finding joy and inspiration in life.  Why most successful entrepreneurs have been through some form of hell on earth to get to where they are now.  Why these four characteristics define so many people who survive challenges and emerge successful and triumphant on the other side.  The power of living in triumph and happiness and joy–no matter your circumstances. The dangers of settling for the comforts of the unknown when you need to push your life forward. Want the Full Show Notes?

In 2020, we were afraid to go anywhere. 2021 turned into the greatest year for real estate of all time. In 2022, we watched interest rates spiral out of control and dramatically shift the market, and we’re now living in the wake of these major shifts, both positive and negative.
So, what can we expect moving forward? To help answer that question, I’m talking to Neal Bawa. Neal is the founder of UGro and Grocapitus and known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily with a $1B real estate portfolio and over 900 investors. Based in the Bay Area, he uses cutting edge analytics and tech tools to give himself–and his students–a powerful edge in the world of multifamily investing.
In today’s conversation, Neal and I talk about why we’re all better off buying properties now than we were 18 months ago, why this may be our best opportunity to buy since 2009, and what the future holds for our industry.
Key Takeaways with Neal Bawa
Why Neal is still extremely bullish about multifamily. How to frame today’s market as a winning opportunity for your prospective investors and limited partners.  Why syndicators should be worried about overpaying–and why now’s a great time to invest in investor education. What to expect in 2024, why so many syndicators are going to be out of business a year from now, and how to do your best to not become one of them.  Want the Full Show Notes?

Inflation’s finally coming down, but we’re not out of the woods when it comes to the possibility of a full-on recession by year’s end. For real estate investors, what does that mean? 
It’s a tough question to answer, but I’m always so grateful to have Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com, hop on with me to break it down for us. In short? It’s a good time to be looking at lower-end properties, but approach expensive single-family homes with caution–especially on the West Coast! 
In today’s episode, Daren and I dig into what he’s seeing in his high-level KPIs, what’s happening in the housing supply, distressed housing markets and consumer spending trends. You’ll also hear why it’s a good time to be cautiously bullish as you hunt for new deals to add to your portfolio. 
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
Why the macro economy looks good despite higher mortgage rates and home prices trending downward.  How the distressed market is fairing with delinquency and foreclosures. The indicators showing the highest probability of a recession since 1981. How post-COVID spending and inflation have put consumer debt at an all-time high. Why default rates could rise with home equity values are dropping while consumers are relying on credit with high inflation. The factors that are triggering major price cuts on homes for the first time in years. Want the Full Show Notes?

I’m thrilled to welcome my good friend back on the podcast as we dissect the Entrepreneurial Cheat Code by taking it a step further and digging into how to scale and create a culture that drives success in your business.
If you haven’t checked out part 1 with Mike, I highly recommend that you do by going right here. For those that don’t know, Mike was my former CMO, and now he’s the Founder and CEO of One 10 Media, a seven-figure digital marketing agency focused on e-commerce brands. You’ve likely seen his clients on shows like the Joe Rogan Experience and Shark Tank.
In today’s conversation, Mike will be asking most of the questions as we discuss the techniques and strategies that I use in real estate and that he uses in digital marketing. 
You’ll learn why they apply in so many different fields, why company culture is so much more important than acquiring customers at all costs, and how to build your schedule around getting things done and not burning out. This is another must-listen if you’re launching a business or looking to take yours to the next level.
Key Takeaways with Mike Gleba
Why great employees are your number one priority, not your customers. How to niche yourself down, pick one thing, and get very good at it. Why free days need to stay free days, even when you’re in growth mode.  Why email is evil–and how to get things done faster by just taking a phone call. Want the Full Show Notes?
