    Mor Milo - Real Estate: Bringing Wall Street To Main Street

    What if investing in commercial real estate could be as accessible as buying stocks? Mor Milo is Co-Founder and CEO of Relli, a PropTech platform built to change how everyday investors access commercial real estate. Growing up, Mor watched his immigrant parents build generational wealth one property at a time—and eventually became determined to figure out why that same opportunity remained out of reach for so many people. After several startup ventures, Mor and his co-founder Ross Iannarelli identified a major gap in the market: commercial real estate syndications offered powerful passive-income opportunities, but high barriers to entry and limited access kept most individual investors on the sidelines.  Relli is working to create a two-sided marketplace connecting vetted commercial real estate operators with individual investors, bringing greater selection, transparency, and accessibility to an industry traditionally dominated by wealthy investors and institutions. If you've ever wondered how technology could reshape real estate investing and give everyday investors access to opportunities once reserved for the wealthy, this conversation offers a fascinating look at where the industry may be headed.

    Jullion Cooper - The Overseas Apartment Owner

    Can you build a real estate portfolio in the United States without living here? Jullion Cooper is doing just that. He founded Properties By JMC and is proving that geography doesn’t have to be a barrier to building wealth through real estate. Living and working in countries all over the world, Jullion started by acquiring single-family properties in Michigan for $30,000–$40,000 before deciding it was time to “play a bigger game.” Just nine months later, he closed on a 23-unit apartment community in Lansing, Michigan. Jullion shares how he successfully invests remotely, makes the leap from single-family rentals to multifamily, raises capital through authentic relationships, and uses disciplined due diligence to protect investors. We also dive into the systems and mindset required to manage U.S. real estate from thousands of miles away and why building relationships can be more valuable than simply chasing transactions. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can invest in real estate from another state—or even another country—this episode offers a powerful blueprint for building long-term wealth without being tied to a specific location.

    Haydynn Fike - Your Network is Your Net Worth

    What happens when you skip the traditional corporate path, lean into networking, and turn relationships into real estate opportunities? Haydynn Fike is co-founder of Acadia Capital and host of The Art of Connecting Podcast. After graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Haydynn quickly realized the corporate world wasn't for him and began attending every networking event he could find. That decision led to a partnership with Dan, a 74-unit storage facility, and eventually the creation of Acadia Capital. Today, Haydynn has helped investors place more than $7 million into Acadia Capital while building a growing network of real estate investors throughout the Southeast.  Haydynn shares how networking and genuine relationships can create opportunities that aren't found by simply scrolling through property listings. He also talks about flipping two houses in 2024, owning a 74-unit storage facility, building investor communities through the Southeast Best Real Estate Meetup and Chattanooga Owners Club, and the lessons he's learned along the way. From raising capital and finding deals to building relationships and taking action, this conversation is packed with practical insights for anyone looking to grow their real estate investing business and their network.

    Chad Ackerman - Wealth Beyond Your W2

    Can you build meaningful income through real estate without becoming a landlord or adding another job to your already busy schedule? Chad Ackerman is a former corporate HR and compensation executive with more than 25 years of experience who realized his financial future was far too dependent on his W2 income. That realization sent him down the path of passive real estate investing, where he made early mistakes, learned valuable lessons, and eventually co-founded Left Field Investors, one of the largest communities for passive investors, later acquired by BiggerPockets.  Today, through CARE (Chad Ackerman Real Estate), Chad helps busy professionals move from confusion and overwhelm to clarity and confident action as passive real estate investors. He shares what he wishes he knew when he started, how to evaluate passive investment opportunities, avoid common mistakes, and create income streams without dealing with tenants, toilets, or day-to-day property management. If you're a high-performing professional looking to diversify beyond your W2 income and build a path toward greater financial freedom, this episode offers practical insights to help you take your first, or next step into passive real estate investing.

    Courtney Poulos - The Irreplaceable Agent

    Meet Courtney Poulos — a 20+ year LA real estate powerhouse who got tired of waiting for the industry to fix itself, so she built the fix herself. After 14 years grinding it out as a licensed broker, she launched ACME in 2011 with one mission: build the brokerage she desperately wished existed when she was coming up as an agent. No absentee bosses. No cookie-cutter training. No corporate fluff. Just real expertise, real accountability, and real results — and somewhere along the way, she turned it into one of LA's most respected boutique brokerages.  These days, Courtney's running the show as founder and broker-owner of ACME | SERHANT. and a founding team member of SERHANT. CA — splitting her time between closing deals on the ground and rethinking the entire industry from the top down. She's shaping policy on her local MLS board, loudly pushing for mandatory agent apprenticeship reform, and just wrapped Harvard's Advanced Management Program for good measure. Translation: this is someone who's as comfortable in the trenches as she is in the boardroom — and she's bringing that rare mix of hustle and vision straight to your speakers.

    Cameron Tope - How To Manage Your Rental Property

    Cameron Tope comes back to our podcast as a Part 2 on property management. Cameron is the founder of Emerson Property Management, and also a real estate investor and entrepreneur who used rental properties to break free from the unpredictability of the oil and gas industry.  After seeing firsthand how unstable the corporate world could be, he began building a rental portfolio that would eventually allow him to quit his W-2 job and create life on his own terms. When he couldn’t find a property manager he trusted, he built his own company from the ground up. Today, he manages over 300 properties in Houston, owns more than 30 rentals himself, and successfully runs Emerson Property Management remotely—all while living in San Diego, California.  On this episode with us, he digs deep on what you should be thinking about as it relates to managing your own rental properties. He shares how to scale and build so that you can manage your properties yourself, and shares important information so that you can properly process and strategize to build out your property management on your rentals.
