Most investors know how to make money—but very few know how to keep it, grow it, and build a lasting legacy with it. In this powerful conversation with Melissa Lindsay Freedman, we dig into the systems and mindset shifts that separate constant hustle from true financial freedom. Melissa shares her personal journey from financial confusion to intentional wealth creation, and we get real about the traps investors fall into when they ignore the back-end of their finances. If you’ve ever felt like your portfolio is scaling but your wealth isn’t, this is the episode you need to watch.

Hello everyone. Today, I am excited to have Melissa Lindsay Freedman with me. Thank you for being here.

Hi, thank you for having me.

I’m really excited for our conversation because for those who do not know Melissa, she really specializes in helping her clients create personalized financial game plans. We’re going to talk a lot about the importance of financial planning, wealth building, being intentional about it, and the wisdom that can help you as a real estate investor—wherever you are in building, maintaining, and growing your financial wealth. So I’m excited.

I sat down with Julia Myers, a pharmacist-turned-investor who rebuilt both income and identity after a sudden retinal detachment changed everything. 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. If you want a candid, actionable look at wealth, parenting, and purpose, you’ll love this one.

In this episode, I sit down with Christina Suter to talk about how she built financial freedom through real estate investing—starting as a teenager with her first property. We get real about college stories, early money lessons, and the reality of losing (and then rebuilding) millions during the 2009 downturn. Christina opens up about flipping homes, investing out of state, doing hard money lending, and the mindset that’s been key to her success. If you’ve ever felt stuck or overwhelmed about how to build wealth in real estate, this conversation is going to give you clarity, strategy, and inspiration.

I just love how you’re really trying to help people move forward and trying to understand what it means to create your financial freedom and giving them real stories about how to do that. It’s all about stories and it’s all about grit, right? Like what can we do? How can we do this? We’re all human beings trying to get it done. And I love that you bring that element to it.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jason Muth, a former media executive turned thriving short-term rental entrepreneur. In this conversation, Jason opens up about transitioning out of corporate life after decades with powerhouse companies like NBCUniversal and iHeartMedia. We dive deep into his first real estate deal (which included a casino win!), building a successful STR business from the ground up, handling nightmare water leaks, navigating complex regulations, launching a co-hosting company, and what it really takes to succeed behind the scenes. This is a candid, practical, and inspiring conversation for anyone who’s thought about using real estate to create freedom and flexibility—especially while still working a full-time job.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode. I am excited to have with me Jason. Welcome to the podcast.

Thanks for having me. That is so much more exuberance than I have on my podcast when we launch the very intro of ours. I’m going to have to take a page out of that. Thank you for the intro. Your setting is great. We were just talking off camera about where you’re recording this from—a house that’s older than the United States. How inspiring is that? Whatever is behind you looks beautiful. I have boring drywall, right?

What does it look like to go from just starting to closing 379 units in under a year—while living overseas? In this conversation, I sat down with real estate investor Suzy Sevier to dive into her incredible journey from lockdown curiosity to full-blown multifamily syndicator. Suzy shares how she and her husband Michael turned quarantine into opportunity, the mindset and systems behind their success, and how they used community, grit, and 1% improvements to transform their lives. This is a real, unfiltered look at scaling quickly, staying grounded, and building a business with purpose.

Hello everyone and welcome! I’m very excited to have Suzy Sevier with me. Thanks for being here.

Yeah, thank you for having me join. I’m super excited.

I’ve known Suzy for years and she has been an awesome real estate investor and syndicator who’s been hustling since the minute I met her. So I’m excited to have her share her story with us today. Now, Suzy, we’re going to start at the beginning—and to be honest, I feel like I’m going to learn a lot here too because I know part of your story, but how did you really get started in real estate investing?

I sat down with Kaaren Hall to dig into a topic that blows many experienced investors’ minds—self-directed IRAs. Kaaren is a real estate investor, the author of the BiggerPockets book on self-directed real estate investing, and founder of Udirect IRA Services, which manages around $1 billion in assets. We walked through how she got started in real estate, why most people don’t realize they’ve been able to self-direct retirement accounts for 50 years, and exactly how to roll over funds from a 401k or IRA into a self-directed account. Kaaren shared surprising investment strategies, including syndications, private lending, and even some unexpected past deals, along with critical rules to avoid prohibited transactions. If you’ve ever wondered how to unlock the retirement capital you already have and put it into assets you know and trust, you’ll want to hear every detail of this conversation.

Kaaren is amazing. I’ve known her for years. I remember the first time I heard her speak about some of the stuff she’s going to share with us here today. She is a real estate investor herself. She is the author of the Bigger Pockets book on self-directed real estate investing. And she is going to talk to us today about her experience and also these self-directed IRAs or STIRAs.

It’s gonna be a lot. It’s gonna be amazing. So make sure you listen to the whole thing. And let’s start at the beginning. So Kaaren, how did you get involved with real estate investing in the first place?

If you own rental properties and want to keep more of what you earn, this episode is for you. I sat down with Brian Kiczula, a cost segregation specialist, to unpack what cost segs actually are, who can benefit from them, and how new tax law updates for 2025 make this strategy even more powerful. We talk ROI, depreciation myths, and the real numbers behind pulling forward paper losses—without touching your cash flow. Whether you own short-term rentals, long-term buy and holds, or commercial buildings, this one could save you serious money. It’s full of real-life examples, smart cautions, and actionable takeaways.

And for those that it’s new to them, kind of give us an intro of what does that mean.

When Sarah Bratcher joined me for this episode, I knew we were in for a powerful story. Sarah’s a real estate investor, bookkeeper, and mom of two—someone who’s walked the road from debt to financial freedom with remarkable honesty and clarity. We talked about how she pivoted from corporate life into building a rental portfolio, investing in a laundromat, and running a bookkeeping business. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her succeed, what it’s like to invest in a small town, and how she balances it all with her family—including her son’s rare medical journey.
