November 24, 2025November 23, 2025

In this conversation, I dive deep with Brent Bowers on the systems, delegation strategies, and mindset shifts that allowed him to go from overwhelmed Army officer to building a scalable land-investing business supported by simple processes and smart hiring. His journey is full of hard-earned lessons about cash flow, data, virtual assistants, tech tools, and how to move from the operator seat into true ownership. If you’re an investor who knows you’re capable of more but your current structure is holding you back, this is a story you’ll want to hear.

Hello everyone. I’m glad you’re here today. Get ready for insights to help you scale, systemize, and create more freedom. Let’s jump in. Thank you for being here with me today.

I’m happy to be here. Thanks for having me.

For those who may not be familiar with your work, can you share a snapshot of your real estate journey, what your business looks like today, and how you landed on land investing as your focus?

I started in 2007. I got my real estate license. I always wanted to be in real estate and bought my first rental property, held it through 2008 and 2009. I joined the Army in 2009 because real estate investing was difficult for me at that point, and I took a break during deployments to Afghanistan.

The One System I Wish I Had Before 2008 (And Why It Matters Now)

November 10, 2025November 21, 2025

When I sat down with Dina Dent, I knew this conversation would resonate with every investor trying to scale without losing control. Dina’s journey from 30 years in nursing and healthcare leadership to building a diversified real estate portfolio is proof that systems, discipline, and mindset matter more than market timing. In this episode, she opens up about her early flips, surviving the 2008 crash, and how she fired her property managers to regain clarity and cash flow. If you’ve ever felt like your business was running you instead of the other way around, you’ll love what Dina shares about leadership, diversification, and true freedom through ownership.

I’m so excited for everything you’re going to share. For people who may not know your background, can you give us a quick overview of your investing portfolio and how your real estate journey began alongside your executive career in healthcare?

Yes, I am a nurse. I’ve been an RN for over 30 years and in administrative healthcare leadership for well over 15. At this point in my life, I have a consulting company called Medconsult, but I’ve always been intrigued by investing, even as a young child—whether it was stocks, real estate, or commercial property. I started investing early. I was a staff nurse working in critical care and emergency departments, and I got the investing bug. I started with fix-and-flips and wholesaling. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, it forced me to completely reset my life.

Why Most Investors Stay Stuck at 4 Properties

October 27, 2025October 25, 2025

In this conversation, I sit down with business consultant and investor Megan Hubner to unpack what it really takes to run your real estate portfolio like a business. Megan shares how investors can scale sustainably — from managing bottlenecks and delegating effectively to building systems that create freedom instead of chaos. Whether you own one property or a hundred, this discussion will help you think like a true business owner and set up the operational structure your portfolio deserves.

Hello everyone, I’m Adrienne Green, and today I’m joined by Megan Hubner. Megan, thanks for joining me.

Yes, no problem. I’d love to be here.

So Megan, as we get started, can you give our listeners an idea of what your real estate investing looks like?

Absolutely. We live in British Columbia, Canada. We invest in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and even Ohio. Actually, we invest in Mexico too. So we’re definitely investing out of province without a doubt. If you know the Canadian marketplace, you’ll know that British Columbia is quite expensive and it’s not necessarily a very good place to invest anymore, unfortunately.

And so you’ve evolved along the way, even expanding into Mexico and the U.S. as well, correct?

That’s right. In Canada, we have a mix of infill development, short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and a multi-family portfolio. In Ohio and Mexico, we’ve done some flips.

The Untapped Strategy: Cash Flow + Purpose

October 20, 2025October 19, 2025

If you’ve ever wondered how to create both meaningful impact and reliable cash flow through real estate, you’re going to love this conversation. I sat down with Terri Arcieri, a past client of mine, who has built a unique real estate model focused on clean and sober housing. Her story weaves personal transformation, nonprofit strategy, and savvy investing into a model that’s not only profitable but deeply purposeful. We dig into how she secures grant funding (including $450K last year alone), structures her for-profit and nonprofit entities, builds systems, and manages operations across multiple recovery homes. This is a must-watch for investors ready to scale with heart.

I am here with Terri Arcieri. Thank you for joining me today, Terri.
Thank you for having me.

Terri is a past client that I’ve gotten to know well, and I’m really excited for her to share her story and experience with us. It’s a really unique story. It’s very personal. I’m excited to dig in. So let’s start, Terri, with sharing for our listeners: what does your real estate investing look like, big picture?

So big picture, I buy single family houses and they’re unique because they usually have five bedrooms, at least three bathrooms, and are close to public transportation because I service a clean and sober community. The houses I buy are that type.

What’s Stopping You? How a W-2 Engineer Scaled to 750+ Doors

October 13, 2025October 12, 2025

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck at 3–5 properties, unsure of how to scale your portfolio without losing your mind (or your W-2 job), this conversation with my long-time friend and investor George Mina is a must-watch. George shares how he built a 750+ unit portfolio while still working full-time in IT leadership. We dig into how to overcome fixed-mindset beliefs, build systems, scale with virtual assistants, and use tech as an ally—not a barrier. Plus, he shares his mindset transformation, how he found his personal “why,” and how he now helps other high-achieving professionals follow the same path to real estate freedom.

Hello everyone, and I’m very excited to have George Mina with me today.

Thank you so much. Happy to be here.

We’ve known each other for years, and I’m really excited to share your story. You bring a lot of wisdom and experience to the table. Let’s start for our listeners: can you tell me, what does your investing portfolio look like?

Great question, and thanks again for having me. We’ve got a large portfolio ranging from single-family to commercial and large multifamily. We started with small multifamily and single-family homes in Chattanooga.

If You Own 3+ Doors, Bethany LaFlam Says Stop Doing This…

October 6, 2025October 2, 2025

had the opportunity to sit down with powerhouse attorney, real estate investor, and bestselling author of The Power of OPE, Bethany LaFlam. Her journey from burned-out law practice to pioneering boutique hotel investments is filled with lessons about scaling, communication, and leveraging the right partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered how to move from passive deals to building multimillion-dollar funds—or how to scale without losing yourself in the process—this conversation is a must-watch.

Welcome everybody. I’m excited to have with me a powerhouse attorney. She’s a real estate investor and she’s the bestselling author of The Power of OPE. So I’m excited to have her share all of her story with us. Get ready for insights to help you scale, systemize and create more freedom. Let’s jump in. So, where I like to start is how did you get started with real estate investing?

So I’ve been practicing law for 25 years now and I was on the tech side venture. I did mergers and acquisitions. I was working with all the tech bros in Silicon Valley. So I didn’t really know about real estate as an investment. I mean, of course everybody knows about real estate, but I didn’t really know the value of it. I was in the middle of it’s either like 10X or nothing, you know? And I left that world really, really burnt out. And I met my former law partner and was just kind of licking my failure and was trying to figure out what I was gonna do next. I thought I was going to leave the law, and he was doing real estate syndications, which is just a fancy way to say helping real estate investors leverage other people’s money safely.

Scaling a Portfolio? Don’t Skip This Call

September 29, 2025September 25, 2025

If you’re scaling your real estate portfolio and assuming your insurance agent has it covered, this episode is a must-watch. I sat down with Bailey Brown, an investor-focused insurance broker in Austin, to dig into the costly mistakes investors are making when it comes to their policies. From flips to short-term rentals, from builder’s risk to liability limits, Bailey breaks down exactly what you need to know to protect what you’re building. If you’ve got more than two doors and you’re serious about wealth preservation, this is a conversation you can’t afford to skip.

Hello everyone and welcome back. I am coming at you today from Portugal and I’m very excited to share with you our special guest for the week from Austin, Texas. So thanks for joining us today.

Yeah it’s great to be here. I appreciate you for having me on.

What I’d like to start with as always is how did you get involved in real estate investing?

It’s a funny story actually. My parents have always been in the real estate space since I’ve been a little kid. My dad was a developer and builder for a number of years. My mom was a builder and then in the flooring space for a number of years. And then they kind of jumped into their own personal investing journey in the long-term rental space. So that’s kind of how I got involved. Just personally, I was working on those projects with my dad growing up. So I really developed a passion for real estate and then went to school for real estate finance, kind of learned as much as I could there and now I’ve kind of transitioned into my own personal journey over the last two, three years since graduating from college.

In this conversation, Julia walks through how she used short-term rentals (and smart depreciation strategy) to solve a tax problem, why aligning to a clear “why” beats shiny-object investing, and how her family’s money values—generosity, discernment, and a written “family constitution”—create real freedom for the next generation.
