    9. I Put My Kids on Payroll and Became My Own Bank

    My kids’ payroll, a $50K car loan, and the Augusta Rule changed how I think about small business taxes.After a decade of entrepreneurship, I've learned that making money and keeping money are two very different skills. On this Bigger Rooms episode , I'm sharing three financial and tax strategies I actually use: financing my Cadillac through a loan from my self-directed Solo 401(k), putting my twin daughters on payroll for legitimate work in my business, and using the Augusta Rule when hosting qualifying business events at my home. I'll explain why I chose to pay interest back into my retirement account instead of a traditional bank, how paying your kids through your business can work, and what business owners need to understand about home rental deductions. These strategies involve specific tax rules, documentation, and financial trade-offs, which is why working with a qualified CPA matters. If you're a small business owner looking for ways to manage your money more intentionally, the biggest lesson is that building wealth isn't just about what you earn—it's also about what you keep.Many entrepreneurs rely on traditional institutions for financing, but there is a more efficient path. By treating your personal finances as your own lending source, you can pay interest to yourself rather than a bank. This strategy provides a way to manage capital while keeping more of your earnings within your control.Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on wealth building and financial independence.

    7. How One Rental Became a 200+ Unit Real Estate Portfolio

    Learn the exact steps behind how she scaled her real estate portfolio to build long-term wealth and financial freedom. Scaling a real estate portfolio requires more than buying additional properties—it demands the identity, team, and systems capable of supporting growth. While many small landlords burn out from managing one or two rentals themselves, out-of-state real estate investing can force the delegation and operational discipline necessary to expand. Dr. Brea Brodine began as an accidental landlord in 2017 and grew to more than 200 rental units across multiple U.S. states while also purchasing property in Spain. Building a significant real estate portfolio requires more than just finding a good deal; it demands a clear plan for growth. In this conversation, we discuss the practical realities of scaling property holdings from a single unit to a larger, sustainable operation. We break down the mindset shifts necessary to move beyond beginner hurdles and into active asset management. Whether you are new to real estate investing or looking to optimize your existing assets, this episode offers a look at the actual investment strategy that drives sustainable growth. We cover the challenges of managing multiple properties and how to maintain focus when the numbers get complex. CONNECT WITH BREE SMALL🏡 Buying or selling in Denver?

    4. Why Women Need to Buy Real Estate

    Real estate investing for women starts with one shift: stop measuring wealth by income and start measuring it by ownership. Women drive 80% of consumer spending but own only 9% of commercial real estate. In this episode, Bree shares how she moved from analysis paralysis to ownership — why she regrets waiting to buy, how her first rental created cash flow, what she learned buying out-of-state and investing as a limited partner in a syndication, and why she measures wealth by ownership, not income. If you're exploring real estate investing for beginners and want to turn income into income-producing assets and generational wealth, this is your starting point. “And I always tell my daughters, the best type of shopping is real estate shopping.” - Bree Small Subscribe for weekly conversations on women, money, and ownership.

    3. The $4,400 Rent Check That Made Me Leave My Career

    A career change doesn't mean you failed, it means you outgrew the room. After 18 years and 100 patients a day, Dr. Bree walked away from a successful career to design a life built on freedom, not burnout. This is how to change careers when everything looks fine from the outside, and how to start over when your identity was tied to the title. She was a successful chiropractor, then she became a real estate professional, a career transition that meant letting go of time, money, and identity. If you've spent a decade thinking "I can't leave, I've invested too much," this is your sign. Lifestyle design is how you leave a high-paying career and build a life you actually want to wake up to. 💬 Drop a comment: what's the ONE thing holding you back from starting over?

    2. How Did I Go From a Multimillion-Dollar Career to Selling $150M in Real Estate?

    A career change didn't reset Bre Smalls — it revealed why she could build multimillion-dollar success twice. Changing careers can feel like walking away from the expertise, credibility, and momentum you spent years building. But Bre Smalls challenges the belief that success belongs to one profession. After building a multimillion-dollar chiropractic practice, exiting for six figures, and going on to sell over $150 million in real estate, she's living proof that success transfers between radically different careers — because it was never about the career in the first place. In this episode, Bre breaks down the real "inner game": how personal development became her greatest long-term investment, how mentors, books, and masterminds built her self-belief, and why aligning your work with the lifestyle you actually want is the shortcut that isn't a shortcut. This is for ambitious professionals questioning their current path — or wondering whether they could succeed somewhere entirely new. You'll leave seeing yourself, not your job title, as your greatest investment, and understanding exactly how to become the person your next results require.

    1. I Sold $150M in Real Estate. Now I Want to Own $100M

    "I sold $150M in real estate — one house at a time. Now I am going after $100M in commercial property, and I don't have every step mapped out. This is what it looks like to move from producer to owner." After selling more than $150 million in residential real estate, Bree Small is chasing a bigger goal: owning and managing a $100 million commercial portfolio — even though she doesn't have the whole path figured out yet. It started with a $4,500 rent check, written from a chiropractic office where she felt trapped. She realized the building's owner collected income without ever showing up — and that shifted her ambition from working for income to owning the asset that produces it. In this relaunch episode of the Bigger Rooms Podcast, Bree opens up about leaving a decade-long chiropractic career, what "freedom day" really means, why she believes being rich is about relationships and health — not just the balance sheet — and how the right rooms can collapse years of work into months. If you've built impressive results but still feel tethered to active income, this episode shows what it actually looks like to move from producer to owner — and why you don't need every step mapped out before you start.
