Prior to founding Laconic Technology, Ken worked as a Design Engineer at Ruger Firearms, where he leveraged his technical expertise to develop innovative products.

So with all the noise, tools, and promises swirling around, how do you actually turn AI hype into real profit? Drawing from his experience as a veteran engineer who has built systems for global brands, Ken McLoud explains that the key lies in attacking business constraints, not chasing shiny tools. Instead of asking, "How do we use AI?" he argues leaders should ask, "What's preventing us from growing right now?" He's seen firsthand that when companies focus on relieving demand or supply bottlenecks first, AI becomes a multiplier rather than an expensive experiment. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, Yoni Schmidt is joined by Ken McLoud, Founder of Laconic Technology, to discuss how to turn AI hype into measurable profit. They break down why most AI projects fail to raise ROI, how to identify business constraints before implementing tools, and where AI can superpower operations without replacing humans.

    Advanced Tax Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Real Estate Investors With Noah Rosenfarb

    Noah Rosenfarb is the Founder of Wealthrive, a boutique advisory firm that helps high-net-worth entrepreneurs optimize tax strategies, build predictable income streams, and design lives that are rich beyond money. A third-generation CPA, Noah has sold eight companies, taken one public, and completed over 50 real estate investments valued at nearly $1 billion. He is also the author of EXIT: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise and co-hosts the Divestopedia podcast, where he shares insights on business exits and wealth transitions. Through Wealthrive, Noah leads a multidisciplinary team dedicated to empowering founders to achieve financial freedom and a lasting legacy. In this episode… Most entrepreneurs obsess over growing revenue, but very few spend the same energy rethinking their tax bills. What if the biggest wealth-building opportunity in your business isn't another deal or hire, but the way you structure and report what you already earn? According to Noah Rosenfarb, a third-generation CPA and tax strategist, taxes are not just a cost of doing business; they're a strategic lever. He believes entrepreneurs should approach tax planning the same way they evaluate any investment decision by weighing risk, reward, and the long-term upside instead of blindly deferring to compliance-focused advice. When business owners understand that the tax system is self-reporting and that audit risk is often lower than assumed, they can begin making informed, proactive choices that turn taxes from an expense into a tool for building predictable income and generational wealth. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, Mat Zalk is joined by Noah Rosenfarb, Founder of Wealthrive, to discuss advanced tax strategies for entrepreneurs and real estate investors. They break down how self-directed retirement accounts can unlock new investment flexibility, explore premium-financed life insurance as a cash flow and estate tool, and explain how donor-advised funds can maximize charitable impact while minimizing taxes.

    The Realities and Risks of Real Estate Investing Beyond Traditional Lending With Joel Kraut

    Joel Kraut is the Co-founder and Managing Director of BRRRR Loans, a direct private lender and nationwide commercial and residential mortgage broker specializing in fix-and-flip properties, BRRRR (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategies, small balance commercial investments, and specialty use real estate transactions. Under Joel's leadership, BRRRR Loans has closed thousands of deals that traditional lenders wouldn't touch, and he has personally overseen the financing of niche assets, including gas stations, hotels, car washes, and self-storage properties, building a reputation for creative problem-solving and speed. In this episode… On paper, real estate deals can seem clean and predictable. Long-term success, however, depends on far more than acquisition price and projected returns. In practice, how do investors navigate risk exposure, leverage decisions, and overcome financing hurdles that ultimately determine success? According to Joel Kraut, a seasoned real estate financier with decades of hands-on investing experience, the real danger isn't risk itself but misunderstanding it. He explains that leverage can be powerful when used intentionally, yet devastating when investors skip due diligence or rely on optimistic assumptions, pointing to real examples where deals unraveled because of zoning issues, deferred maintenance, or unrealistic exit plans. The bigger lesson is that success in real estate comes from patience, preparation, and recognizing how fragile even a seemingly great deal can become when market conditions shift. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, Mat Zalk is joined by Joel Kraut, Co-founder and Managing Director of BRRRR Loans, to discuss the realities of investing beyond traditional lending. They break down how lenders and investors view risk differently, why many deals fail after closing, and what separates sustainable BRRRR strategies from short-term hype. Joel also shares advice on avoiding common due diligence mistakes and preparing deals that can withstand market cycles.

    Building Mission-Driven Real Estate Portfolios in Emerging Markets With Carson Gunther

    Carson Gunther is the Principal and Managing Partner at Out Partners, an LGBTQ+ founded private real estate equity firm. Out Partners is focused on delivering returns for investors by creating high-quality single-family housing in overlooked US markets like Tulsa. Leading more than $35 million in transactions, he oversees over $15 million in assets, consistently outperforming traditional multifamily returns by 5–10%. Carson brings a disciplined, data-driven approach to building resilient, mission-driven housing portfolios that balance community impact with risk-conscious investor returns. In this episode… Real estate investing is often framed as a numbers game, but the real edge may come from thinking smaller, slower, and more intentionally. This episode explores what happens when investors stop chasing the hottest markets and start paying attention to the places everyone else overlooks. Can disciplined investing and a people-first mindset actually outperform scale and speed? For Carson Gunther, the answer is yes. He believes that the biggest opportunities in real estate come from being early in markets others dismiss and committing to doing things the right way once you're there. Carson explains how focusing on tertiary markets allows his team to move faster, buy below replacement cost, and create real value through thoughtful renovations. He shares how building safe, high-quality homes for families is not just a moral choice, but a long-term strategy that reduces risk, improves retention, and strengthens returns. Instead of maximizing leverage or short-term cash flow, Carson emphasizes equity growth, conservative underwriting, and alignment between investors and communities. The result is a model where impact and performance reinforce each other, rather than compete. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Mat Zalk is joined by Carson Gunther, Principal and Managing Partner at Out Partners, to discuss building mission-driven real estate portfolios in emerging markets. They break down why tertiary markets like Tulsa offer outsized opportunity, how disciplined underwriting and low leverage shape risk-adjusted returns, and what it takes to renovate homes with both families and investors in mind.

    Mastering Lead-Based Paint Compliance in Property Management With Monica Gilroy

    Monica Gilroy is the Managing and Founding Member at The Gilroy Firm, a national real estate litigation and property management law firm. She has over 30 years of experience in real estate litigation, title insurance defense, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and fair housing matters. Monica is a Georgia Super Lawyer, a National Title Professional, and a frequent speaker at state and national industry conferences. She has also chaired the State Bar of Georgia's Real Property Law Section and serves on national committees for the American Land Title Association. In this episode… Sometimes the biggest risks in real estate aren't the ones you can see, but the ones hiding in old walls and window frames. Lead-based paint has quietly resurfaced as a major compliance challenge for property managers and owners, fueled by shifting regulations and increasing enforcement. With rules quickly changing, how do you protect your business and your tenants? According to Monica Gilroy, a nationally recognized real estate attorney, the danger comes from misunderstanding how much the landscape has shifted. She explains that two long-standing protections property managers relied on were removed without much warning, leaving companies exposed in ways they've never been before. Suddenly, managers are required to hold certifications even when they're not the ones doing the work, and they share full liability even if a certified contractor makes the mistake. Monica illustrates how simple oversights like missing initials or an unfamiliar brochure can balloon into tens of thousands of dollars in penalties. Her take is clear: awareness and proactive preparation aren't optional anymore; they're the only way to stay ahead of an aggressive enforcement environment. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Yoni Schmidt sits down with Monica Gilroy, Managing and Founding Member at The Gilroy Firm, to discuss the shifting responsibilities around lead-based paint compliance. You'll learn why the EPA's rule changes caught much of the industry off guard, how minor documentation errors can lead to major fines, and what types of repairs trigger mandatory lead-based paint safe practices.
