    9. Election Aftermath: What Investors Need to Know About the Red Wave's Impact

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the massive red wave from last night’s election and what it means for investors, business owners, and anyone paying attention to the economy. We’ve got one party in control of the House, Senate, and White House, and this shift is going to impact everything from inflation and interest rates to government spending and market growth. I’ll explain why the Democrats’ campaign didn’t resonate with voters, what policies we might see from the new administration, and where the biggest opportunities and risks lie in this changing landscape. Whether you’re in real estate, investing, or just want to understand how to adapt to the new environment, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Tune in and let’s talk strategy.

Here’s what I’ll be diving into: Why federal vs. state policies matter for investors How inflation affects wealth differently across generations Key differences in landlord and business costs between California and Texas Practical advice on finding growth opportunities in today’s financial landscape I hope you’ll find these insights useful as you navigate the complexities of the current economy and make your own financial decisions.

  5. 5. The Twitter “War” on Investors and Why Most Americans Shouldn’t Invest

    5. The Twitter “War” on Investors and Why Most Americans Shouldn’t Invest

    For years, I thought every American should be investing. After all, it’s the American dream to work hard, build wealth, own property, and lead your family to financial prosperity. But I’ve changed my tune after recent events, probably for good. I no longer think most Americans can handle the pressure of owning businesses, real estate, or an extensive investment portfolio. So, my question to you is, can you handle what it takes to build something great? Over the last few weeks, I’ve seen a “war” on Twitter break out against general partners and real estate operators, with passive investors attacking them for providing sub-optimal returns. Did these general partners do anything wrong, or were they merely acting to defend the asset that provides their investor’s returns? This made me think, “Am I next?” In this episode, I’m taking time to break down my investing philosophy and explain why my mind has changed about everyday Americans investing. Make no mistake: You CAN build substantial wealth investing in real estate, especially in 2024. But if you’re not ready to take your fair share of bumps, bruises, and scrapes along the way, you might as well just get out now. Insights from today’s episode:  The latest Twitter “war” against investors and why everyone is up in arms  Who should (and definitely should NOT) be investing in 2024  The opportunities that you can take advantage of NOW that most Americans ignore Why the middle class is struggling in today’s economy, and why most won’t build wealth  Millennials’ profound misunderstanding of how markets and investing work  What to do now if you want to get ahead of the masses and the danger you must be prepared to face

    4. 80-Hour Workweeks to Ultimate Passive Income and Time Freedom

    After another 80-hour workweek and realizing his kids’ lives were passing him by, Spencer Hilligoss knew he needed to start making passive income. The problem? His time was chained to his tech job’s high pay and long hours. Spencer loved what he did, but the job took away more than he was comfortable with. He hadn’t seen his young son in weeks, and it was eating away at him. He made a plan that wouldn’t be easy to accomplish: build an $8,000/month passive income stream. He gave himself over a decade to achieve it. Thankfully, it took less than half the time. Now, Spencer is a full-time passive investor and real estate syndicator, helping others who want to regain their time freedom invest so their money can go further. In today’s episode, Spencer shares his story of leaving a thirteen-year career to venture out into the unknown, regaining his time and investing in truly passive income, and why you DON’T actually want to retire (you really want something else). And if you’re interested in passive investing, stick around. Spencer and AJ talk through the CRUCIAL questions you MUST ask before investing in a real estate syndication and how to tell who you’re investing with will pull through on the returns they’re promising you.    Insights from today’s episode:  How to make enough passive income that you can replace your salary and live the way you want Crucial questions to ask any syndicator BEFORE you invest a cent into their deals Why financial literacy is essential to building wealth, and why even most adults don’t have this The retirement lie you’re telling yourself and why you don’t really want to vacation forever How to start building your financial moat even if you’re a busy professional Defining your why and how to know whether greed or purpose is driving you — Invest with Spencer

    3. Is the Dollar Going Away? Whether BRICs Have a Shot at Dethroning the Dollar with Emmanuel Daniel

    Will the US dollar be replaced? Could we be on the cusp of de-dollarization as more and more countries search for reserve currency alternatives? Is America’s spot as the number one economy in the world up for grabs? Emmanuel Daniel, entrepreneur, advisor, founder of The Asian Banker, and author of The Great Transition, is on the show to discuss the future of the US economy and the global currency battle. The US has been the reigning economic world superpower for much of our lives. But slowly, other countries have begun to realize that reliance on the US dollar isn’t always a good thing. The question is: Can they find a viable replacement? Many look to China’s (mostly) strong economy as the answer, but will their pro-manufacturing stance put them in an economic trap? And with the US struggling with homelessness, political unrest, and more, what happens next? We’ll get into it all in this episode, plus touch on an actual alternative to the US dollar, why the US’s current turmoil DOESN’T guarantee a decline, and why bringing manufacturing back to the States could create problems most Americans haven’t considered. What you’ll learn in today’s show: De-dollarization and whether or not the US dollar can be replaced as the world’s reserve currency  China’s colossal manufacturing mistake that has trapped its economy  The true value of digital currencies and whether the digital dollar will become the norm One often overlooked issue with bringing manufacturing back to the US  The crisis of leadership in the US and what MUST change for our country to succeed  — The Great Transition Emmanuel’s Website Emmanuel’s YouTube

    2. Losing His Leg and Rebuilding His Identity After Surprise Attack in the Middle East w/Green Beret Nick Lavery

    Nick Lavery, Green Beret and Army Special Forces member, has been shot, blown up, and beaten down. After an insider attack in Afghanistan left him without a leg, Nick wasn’t supposed to return to the Army. He’s had over thirty surgeries, lived with excruciating pain, and had his physical power taken from him. But now, he’s back, and he’s had to adapt, swearing to make those who took from him “regret not killing me.”  You’re going through a challenge in your life, too, just like Nick. Business problems, personal problems, physical problems—no matter what you’re dealing with, Nick has advice to share. After pushing through pain that would kill most people and coming back stronger, Nick is now an expert in growing during the most demanding times. Whatever happens in your life, the skills and mindset Nick shares in today’s episode will prove priceless to you in the future. Nick dives into how he motivates himself to accomplish the impossible, why choosing your “hard” will help you push through even the toughest walls, the “catalyst” that changed his entire mindset during recovery, and the moves every parent can make to develop a mentally tough, successful child. Insights from today’s episode:  Nick’s unbelievable journey from bullied kid to a US Army Green Beret  Turning your anger into motivation to accomplish what most think is impossible Knowing your “why” and why not having one causes so many people to fail Choosing the “hard” in your life and why you CANNOT escape pain, but you can become stronger  The power of humility and why putting others before yourself leads to greatness  Running towards failure, and why those too scared to try will always fail  Work with Nick
