Every business is trying to solve the same equation:
Find leads. Make them customers. Repeat.
Yet many businesses, if not most, get it all wrong. Itâs not because they have a product problem, personnel problem, or even a lead problem. Most of the time, itâs a conversion problem. They crank up their ad spend and chase more traffic without patching the leaks in their funnel. The result? Shrinking margins.
The good news is that this is fixable.
AJ and George have scaled businesses across multiple industries, adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, simply by optimizing their marketing strategy.
Weâre sharing real case studies of businesses weâve been able to turn around in a matter of months. More importantly, weâll show you how to replicate these resultsânot by overhauling your product or reinventing your business modelâbut by simply building a marketing âmachineâ that actually works.
Whether youâre buying your first business or scaling your tenth, these fundamental marketing principles are often the difference between a struggling business thatâs scraping by and one that turns a massive profit year after year.

People think owning or buying a business is just for the wealthy. For the visionaries with the revolutionary ideas. For the entrepreneurs whose startups beat the odds.
But theyâre wrong.
Over 17 million businesses will change hands in the next several years. As the baby boomer generation ages out, some of these businesses will close their doors. Some will stay within the family. But most of them? Theyâll be sold. To whom?
Maybe you.
You donât need millions of dollars to buy them. In fact, many of these small businesses cost less than the median price of a single-family home. Serial business-buyer Tim Delaney found this out when he stumbled on a local wine and liquor store 13 years ago. He bought it with just $35,000 down, and that investment gave him a reliable cash flow stream, provided for his family, and made the next venture that much easier.
And buying an established business isnât nearly as risky as you probably think. Tim shares the green and red flags to look for when analyzing a small business, the different levers you can pull to fund one, and the value-add playbook that can turn any mom-and-pop operation into a staple of your community.

The next great depression is closer than you think. For years, Lauren Saidel-Baker, economist at ITR Economics, has predicted an almost unavoidable economic depression, specifically for the United States. We last spoke to her about this in January 2025, and now sheâs backâbut this time, sheâs even more convinced of our path to the 2030s great depression.
Major signals are keeping us from swerving this colossal event. The Fed is trappedâlowering rates to save our government budget could trigger inflation, again. Social problems are growingâthe wealth gap is widening, and those at the bottom can barely afford necessities. And the final linchpinâan aging baby boomer population that will take massive amounts of resources, without giving much in return.
Weâve seen problems like this occur in other countriesâFrance and Japan, to name a coupleâbut nothing on the size of the American economy. So whatâs coming next? Are we back to a 2008-style market selloff where asset prices tank? Can AI step in to save us from some of these dangers that a younger workforce canât solve, and who wins and loses when the shoe drops?

AI has leveled the playing field for new real estate investors, startups, and small businesses.
The truth is that most investors still view AI as another productivity tool. But what weâre witnessing is a once-in-a-generation shift in how businesses are built and scaled.
The larger, more established players? Many are still operating the way they always have. All of their systems, processes, and teams were built without AI, and changing course now would require a massive overhaul.
William Hollis, founder of Capital Advisory AI, has seen just how powerful this technology can be in the hands of everyday investors. He and his team have developed a platform that pairs operators with investors, making it easier to raise capital and identify new passive investing opportunities.
But Hollis doesnât believe every real estate business needs to build its own AI agent or custom tool. He shares exactly how investors can start leveraging existing AI tools to streamline operations, eliminate bottlenecks, and free up time to focus on the work that actually creates wealth.

Youâve just started a business. Now what? If youâre Tanner Herget, you build anotherâŠand anotherâŠand another.
Itâs hard enough to grow one business from scratch, but Tanner is the textbook definition of a serial entrepreneur. Itâs all heâs known since 22 years old, when he left his full-time job to open his own restaurant.
That business failed.
Most inexperienced entrepreneurs wouldâve walked away. For Tanner, giving up wasnât an option. He quickly pivoted, transforming his struggling restaurant into a popular nightclub. It kept the lights on, but it also gave him the confidence to tackle his next venture.
Over the next 20 years, Tanner started more than a dozen businesses, many of which he still owns and operates todayâfrom cash-flowing, brick-and-mortar establishments to long-term equity plays.
Today, we discuss what makes a business âwork,â the hidden risks of partnerships, and the three-pronged approach to building wealth through entrepreneurship. Whether youâre launching your first startup or actively scaling, Tanner shares the strategy, mindset, and grit it takes to keep going when others would quit.

Weâre living through unprecedented times. Oil shortages, war, disruptive technology, a large wealth gap, and rising inflation. Is history beginning to repeat itself?
Thereâs one era that looks eerily similar to todayâs America: The 1960s-1970s. Civil unrest, rising unemployment, financial strain, and a rapidly changing global landscape. But this time, a few crucial factors are much different. Weâve got trillions in government debt, AI advances that are making the average American worry about the future of their job, and massively increased investment opportunities.
What lessons of the past can we use to make better decisions today, even when it feels like the world is ending.
In this episode, Iâm going piece by piece through these two pivotal eras, describing whatâs different, whatâs the same, and what new risks and opportunities present themselves to todayâs Americans. Everyone is stuck in fear as the news and social media bombard them with information 24 hours a day.
While everyone is frozen, are you going to make a move?

Itâs no secret that the wealthy pay very little in taxes. But how do they get away with it? Itâs not because theyâre cheating the system or finding a clever workaround.
Itâs by design.
The tax code was written in a way that incentivizes building businesses, creating jobs, and investing in real estate. If youâre a consumerâeven a high-earning oneâyouâre heavily taxed. But if youâre producing, youâre rewarded.
In fact, there are seven investments the government will actually pay you to make. Tom Wheelwright, Rich Dad Advisor, CPA for Robert Kiyosaki, and founder of WealthAbility, breaks down some of these investments and the different ways to build wealth without sharing half of it with Uncle Sam.
With tax increases likely on the horizon, high earners face a critical decision: stay trapped in earned income or move into the asset economy. Whether youâre filing your 2025 return or tax planning for 2026, we cover strategies and approaches to building wealth that could save you thousands of dollars.

The housing market isnât crashingâand itâs not going to. Something more gradual, and for many, painful, will be drawn out over the next five years, as a âslow motion resetâ takes place on a scale many of us have never experienced.
You can already see it around you. Houses are sitting on the market longer, even as mortgage rates fall. People want to buy a home, but who can take the risk in this job market? Pending sales are down, but more Americans are trying to get a mortgage. This is a stalemate that will last until 2030, but what does that mean for the average American?
Some markets will fare better than others. Some are already seeing delinquencies and foreclosure rates rise, leaving sellers in a bind. A âsilent killerâ is coming after these homeowners, and âsoftâ pricing could be on the table for years to come.
Which markets are the most (and least) at risk? Will the housing market crash? Where will Americans move to when job prospects dwindle, and whatâs the one big outlier that could change everything?
The reset has already begun. Are you prepared for whatâs coming?

Americaâs financial system is a ticking time bomb.
For years, the United States has become increasingly financialized, and weâve finally reached a boiling point. History shows us that there are cycles, and weâre in the âfourth turningâ of one now. What comes next?
A complete reset.
At this point, itâs the only option left after the politically wealthy and banking system elites have backed the country into a corner. We canât pay off the national debt, and getting out of debt was never the game plan.
The system is broken.
The dollarâs days are numbered, but what will replace it? David Morgan, an expert on macroeconomics, precious metals, and the storm thatâs currently brewing, believes itâs only a matter of time before a central bank digital currency (CBDC) is ushered in.
Everything will changeâhow our money is saved, spent, and even traced.
The real question isnât just how to protect your wealth in uncertain times, but how society can come together, help each other, and return to the principles our country was founded on: hard work, productivity, and the things that matter far more than money.

The United States economy is about to reset.
Government systems are largely self-serving. Trust in the countryâs institutions has eroded. Weâve reached the point of no return.
But empires donât crumble overnight. This âtransformationâ will be slow, difficult, and likely painful. But on an individual level, thereâs still a clear path to safetyâto achieving financial independence and protecting your wealth, even amid a complete reshaping of the U.S. economy as we know it.
Itâs no secret that America has a spending problem, and the $38 trillion national debt doesnât even tell the whole story. The governmentâs game plan? âInflateâ it away, devalue the dollar, but donât actually solve the issue.
We should have seen this coming because weâve seen it many times before. In 2008, in response to the growing financialization of the U.S. economy, I built businesses around physical, cash-flowing assets. It wasnât new, trendy, or sexy, but it made me millions.
Now, itâs time to return to fundamentals once again:
Knowledge. Skills. Productivity. Real value. Tangible, income-producing assets.
This âwinningâ playbook is the only way to weather a storm that most Americans are simply unprepared for.

Could you escape one of Americaâs toughest neighborhoods to become a self-made millionaire, with the cards stacked against you? Todayâs guest is a second-generation American, raised in the streets of Oakland, Californiaâat the time, one of the countryâs most dangerous cities. After the traumatic loss of his father, Brian Tran fulfilled his dadâs wish by finishing college, but struggling on a W-2 salary wasnât in the cards.
Fast forward over a decade, Brian owns nine successful businesses and a sizable real estate portfolio, making him a millionaire in the process. This wasnât supposed to happenâespecially not to Brian. But, unlike most people who buy a rental property or two and struggle to reach true financial freedom, Brian did something different.
Today, heâs detailing the exact mental map every real estate investor (or business owner) needs to follow before scaling a real estate business. Brian had it put to the test, spending a month in the hospital, all while his businesses paid him out like clockwork. Think you canât get ahead with todayâs interest rates? Think AI will take your job? Feel like your circle is thinking too small?
This episode will get you on the path to becoming a self-made millionaire if you follow Brianâs formula.

The middle class is shrinking, but not for the reason you think.
Itâs hard to escape the doom-and-gloom narratives: wages are stagnant, the rich are getting richer, and everyday Americans are getting crushed. But when you look at the inflation-adjusted figures, a very different story emerges.
For years, weâve been told that the middle class is collapsing. But itâs not. Itâs moving up. Incomes in the U.S. have actually surged over the last 30-40 years.
People are getting wealthier, so why doesnât it feel like it?
The reality is that where you live, how you live, and what you owe have a much bigger impact than your tax bracket. Yes, housing has outpaced inflation, but other costsâlike college tuition, childcare, and healthcareâhave blown past it. A millennial with student debt and less purchasing power feels much poorer than someone in another area of the countryâeven if they earn the same salary. Itâs a tale of two Americas.
But thereâs an even bigger distinction between millennials who have prospered and those who continue to struggle, and you might have more control over which side you land on after all.
Insights from todayâs episode:
Why the shrinking middle class actually signals upward income mobilityThe real reason millennials are divided on lifestyle affordability in the USWhy many Americans donât feel wealthy (despite rising incomes)Why housing affordability isnât the middle classâs biggest economic challengeTwo things you can do today to drastically improve your financial situationâ

The wealthy hate income and actively avoid it.
Most people think income is the key to wealth. The more you grow your income, the higher you climb the corporate ladder, the more money youâll have to save and spend.
This couldnât be more wrong.
Income is a silent wealth-killer because youâre losing money before it ever reaches your pocket. Wealth is ownershipânot income, but assets that produce income.
Weâre all taught to earn money, pay our taxes, and either spend or save the rest. But the rich invert this formula by earning, spending, investing, and then paying taxes. Itâs not a tax loophole. Itâs how the tax code was designed. The system rewards those who play the long game and keep their money in the system.
I didnât learn this overnight. It took years at an old sales job before I realized just how much money I was leaking with every paycheck. Today, I share exactly how I built my wealth by reinvesting, compounding, and strategically deferring taxable events.
More income just brings more taxes, but ownership brings freedom.
Insights from todayâs episode:
Why the wealthy âhateâ income (and what they do with their money instead)How the rich invert the wealth âformulaâ to delay taxable eventsWhy debt is a powerful tool (not a liability) for building long-term wealthWhy the US tax code benefits those who keep their money âin the systemâThe exact blueprint I followed to 7X my investing returnsâ
My mission is to help everyday people achieve financial independence by teaching the strategies and principles that the wealthy useâbut that most people never learn. If you're tired of working hard but not getting ahead financially, you're in the right place.

I have a framework that tells me which investments (and businesses) have the highest odds of succeeding. Iâve used this framework to build multiple $10M+ businesses and own a $100M+ real estate portfolio. I didnât do this all by luck, and it isnât because Iâm a genius. Itâs all because of this simple framework that anyone can use, with any budget, at any stage in their life.
Most businesses fail. Restaurants open, then close a month later. Stocks get sold off and drop to zero. Companies lay off their staff and shut their doors. This is all while other industries, companies, and investments see record profits. They all had a dream, but only some of them succeeded. Whatâs the secret to knowing which ones will make it?
The 4M Framework.
The 4M Framework has personally helped me invest (and divest) in industries at the exact right times, making the most money possible and growing my wealth to $10M+. Iâm finally sharing it, after testing it for over 20 years and seeing incredible results. You can use it, too, no matter how much money you have. Iâm breaking down all four stages so you can multiply your money faster and stop getting burned.

This looks a lot like the Dot-com bubble. Stock prices are hitting record highs, but their valuations are starting to diverge from reality. Americans are scared theyâll miss out on the rise of AI, so theyâre pouring cash into the market in record amounts. Meanwhile, price-to-earnings ratios are inching nearer to Dot-com bubble levels.
How close are we to the AI bubble bursting? Is this just another mania, or will AI deliver such strong production and profit increases that this type of stock market becomes the new reality? 90% of investors think the stock market is overpricedâŠso why is everyone still buying?
Iâm sharing my thoughts in todayâs episode as we compare the Dot-com bubble in 2000 to the 2025 stock market, which is seeing unprecedented price growth thanks to AI. Iâll admit this isn't the same economic environment as the Dot-com bubble, but the similarities are getting hard to ignore.
Stocks could pull back, as they often do after a massive run-up. The question is: will the AI bubble burst, or is this the new reality?

This is about to get weird. Iâm opening up about something that has only been shared in very private circles. As some of you know, years ago, I was comatose and paralyzed for months, unable to move or communicate, stuck in a hospital bed, with only my thoughts. Deep into my paralysis, strange things began to happenâbreakthroughs I didnât know were possible. Personalities became unlocked, and a part of me I thought had died began to escape.
This led me to what I now call the âmeeting of the mind,â a major shift in my life that has not only led me to more success, but greater happiness, a deeper understanding of myself, and the ability to unlock my mindâs full potential. This is something very few people have ever experienced, but today Iâm giving you the tools to try this experiment on your own.
This will allow you to unlock all your different personalities, including the one who gives you crystal clear clarity to see things as they truly are. If you were expecting an episode on business building or economic changes, sorry, this isnât it. But knowing how to have your own âmeeting of the mindâ will amplify any area of life you want to succeed in.

Thereâs one thing that separates a âgoodâ commercial real estate deal from the restâand you have complete control over it. Get it right, and your returns are much closer to being locked in. Get it wrong, and you could have a cash-draining property on your hands.
Kevin Bupp, 20+ year investing veteran and mobile home park and parking lot expert, is here to help. He built a massive real estate portfolio from nothing, starting at the young age of 20, lost it all in the 2008 crash, and rebuilt it bigger, better, and (much) safer than before. Heâs learned the lessons the hard way, so you donât have to.
In this episode, weâre talking about commercial real estate underwriting, how to separate the âgoodâ deals from the BS, and the most crucial factor that makes or breaks a real estate investment. Kevin is buying multimillion-dollar deals, meaning his margin for error can only be tiny. This is the way he decides whether to buy or move on to the next opportunity.

Want to start a business and begin working for yourself? This is how you do it. You donât need to (and actually should not) invent a product or create a new type of service or technology. You can work for yourself simply by doing what you do right now at your job or what youâre interested in. Becoming your own boss enables you to earn more money, live on your own terms, and build something greater than yourself.
This is how to start your own business from scratch, even if you have $0 and are working a full-time job.
My guest isnât wearing a suit, and heâs not driving a Bentley to work. He doesnât need to, even though heâs COO of Self Storage Income. George Mortimer became my COO through starting his own web design business after not wanting a boss. Now, heâs running teams and a multimillion-dollar business. George and I know what itâs like to do the grunt work, struggle, and finally succeed at being (often) happily self-employed.
Weâll walk through how you can do it, too: build your own business, become your own boss, and scale up through the business stages (without burning out).

The long-awaited Fed announcement is here. After the recent Fed meeting, where we got more clarity on rate cuts, the economic âcycleâ seems to have been just reset. This will have significant consequences for the economy and prime specific industries for a resurgence. If you own any of these assets or work in any of these sectors, you could be riding a new âwaveâ of wealth for years to come.
After years of economic tightening and high interest rates, stubborn inflation, and American purchasing power shrinking dramatically, the Fed has finally reversed course, heading towards an âeasingâ cycle. But something more interesting than rate cut news came out of recent Fed meetingsâitâs what the Fed didnât say.
Jerome Powell has switched from familiar verbiage to some new phrasing, priming us that we could be in a much different position than weâve been in before. This has enormous implications for the next moves the Fed makes, and whether weâll see interest rates fall even more as a result. Was the Fed too late with this move, with unemployment already rising and job revisions pushing us into an even deeper hole? Iâm explaining who will win and who will get left behind in this next cycle.

If you canât fix this, youâll never be wealthy. The 99% move like a herd, and the masses scream in fear, duck for cover, and sell in lockstep during every major recession, crash, and recovery. This is why most Americans (or people on Earth, for that matter) will never be wealthy. By letting their fear take over during times of opportunity and their greed override their senses during peaks, the masses buy high, sell low, and remain in the same place.
This is avoidable. Anyone can grow wealthy IF they follow the right steps.
At some point, I realized that my emotions were controlling too many of my decisions. When I stopped listening to my lizard brain and started operating on a system, everything changed. How did I know to buy so low during the real estate bust in 2008? How did I know my industry was in a bubble before so many others?
