Today’s episode is a little different. As many of you know, I’m a member of Front Row Dads – a group started by Jon Vroman, as a way to help men level up as husband’s and father’s. As a part of their podcast member takeover series, I was asked to interview a Dad of my choosing. I wanted to pick someone I admire and respect in both business and life, so I decided to interview my good friend, Brad Johnson. While this interview will be released on the Front Row Dads podcast, I couldn’t help but think our audience would appreciate listening to it as well.
For context, Brad is the co-founder of Triad Partners, a business that partners with the top 1% of independent financial advisors, coaching them on how to achieve unlimited growth, freedom, and joy in business and life. Or as they have coined it, “Doing Business. Doing Life.”
Brad and I first met years ago at a Front Row Dads event, and he’s been a great influence on me both personally and professionally ever since. In fact, he’s the reason this podcast exists. He’s the guy who talked me into starting The Lifestyle Investor podcast 5 years ago.
In this episode, we both get pretty personal as we dive into our non-negotiable core values, practical tips for entrepreneurs chasing the mythical “work-life balance,” and the top lessons we’ve learned to successfully grow a business without sacrificing family, health, or happiness.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How to build a team that wants to do business and do life together – AND a culture that attracts great talent in the process!
✅ Work-life balance is a myth – find out why work-life integration is the secret to making your business serve your life, not become your life.

Today, I’m excited to sit down with Ferd Niemann, an attorney by trade who’s turned what was a side gig investing in mobile home parks (MHPs) into a thriving business.
Ferd was making as much as 50% returns buying and flipping single-family homes, but he soon realized that there was an even bigger opportunity in alternative assets like MHPs. With 24 parks under his belt, Ferd has now become an authority in this niche investment space.
In our conversation, we geeked out on the specifics of mobile home park investments including key metrics, tax deferral strategies, financing options, and the strategic advantages this niche market can offer for individual investors operating on a smaller scale.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How Ferd became a successful mobile home park investor – plus specific strategies you can leverage to start building your own MHP portfolio.
✅ Why mobile home parks offer such a unique investment opportunity with far lower expense ratios compared to other real estate assets.
✅ The reason wealthy people put over 59% of their net worth in alternative investments like mobile home parks compared to only 15-25% in the stock market

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Stephanie Postles, the CEO & founder of Mission, an award-winning podcast network designed to create, publish, and market meaningful experiences that influence the hardest-to-reach executives in the world.
Before launching Mission, Stephanie worked at Fannie Mae and later at Google, where she managed a $1 billion PnL for the Geo business unit and led a $500M+ divestment. Seeking to start her own venture, Stephanie began blogging on Medium, which eventually led to the creation of Mission.
The company transitioned into podcasting and went on to launch more than 35 shows – using proven storytelling techniques to create custom media experiences for their clients.
But the ingenious part of it all is how Stephanie leverages her podcast network to drive revenue. Unlike most podcast owners, who focus primarily on selling ad space, Stephanie came up with a clever approach to teaming up with enterprise level companies, like Salesforce, Twillo, UPS, Dell, and many more – a strategic partnership model that creates a win/win for all involved.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What Stephanie has discovered about the fickle nature of platform algorithms from producing 35+ shows and hosting 800+ interviews.
✅ How to handle the tricky relationship between show hosts and sponsors — and why selling ads might not be the best monetization strategy for your podcast.
✅ How to value and sell a digital asset like a podcast for a 3x revenue multiple.
