    Episode #75: Beyond Multifamily: What Real Estate Investors Can Learn From Oil & Gas | Adam Butcher

    What actually moves the price of oil, and could natural gas be entering one of its biggest growth cycles yet? In this episode of the Ever Forward Mindset Podcast, Michael Rebelo sits down with Adam Butcher of Basin Ventures at FreedomFest 2026 to break down the oil and gas industry from the perspective of someone who has spent 25 years in the business. Adam explains how Basin Ventures went from building projects for major operators to helping investors participate directly alongside large energy companies and operating teams. We dive into oil prices, U.S. energy production, geopolitical risk, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, rising drilling costs, global supply and demand, and why daily headlines may not tell the full story. Adam also shares why Basin Ventures is especially bullish on natural gas as AI, data centers, healthcare, crypto, LNG, and other industries increase demand for power across the United States. If you have ever wondered how oil and gas investing works, what actually drives energy prices, or where the industry could be heading next, this conversation gives you a boots-on-the-ground perspective.

    Episode #70: The 401(k) Mistake That Could Cost You in Retirement | Nick Grose

    Most people spend decades building their 401(k)… but never think about what happens when it’s time to take the money out. Nick Grose from Grose Wealth Management explains why relying only on pre-tax retirement accounts can limit your flexibility and potentially create a larger tax burden in retirement. We break down the idea of building multiple retirement “buckets” using pre-tax accounts, Roth accounts, and taxable investments, plus why diversification matters when markets get rough. The goal isn’t simply to save more. It’s to build a retirement strategy that gives you more options, flexibility, and control over your money. Watch the full conversation to learn how smarter planning today can shape your financial future: https://linktr.ee/everforwardmindsetpodcast Follow Nick and his company: https://grosewealthmanagement.com/nick-grose/ #RetirementPlanning #401k #RothIRA #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom #Investing #PersonalFinance #WealthManagement #Retirement #MoneyTips #everforwardcapitalpartners #michaelrebelo
