“Explore, Read, and Commit yourself to action. Exploring allows you to find out what the world can offer you. That’s what it does. And, you know, despite what’s going on in terms of politics and what have you, it’s a big world out there with a lot of different ways that people can make money.”

In Season 2, Episode 9 of the Boss Uncaged Podcast, S.A. Grant closes his real estate month with an information-filled interview. Ray Johnson is the Founder of Barrington Commercial Capital which provides alternative structured finance solutions tailored for business owners.

In Season 2, Episode 8 of the Boss Uncaged Podcast, S.A. Grant gives us another dynamic interview for his Real Estate Month. This week he is interviewing Dominick Felix - Founder of Cash Geeks. Cash Geeks is a Real Estate wholesaling company specializing in buying and selling homes through simple cash offers.

Through this episode, learn how this highly-motivated individual started a lawn service company, with a focus on maintaining bank foreclosure properties, pivoted into a multi-million dollar real estate wholesale company.

“It’s funny because I kind of just wanted to replace my income. And I realized once I started building a simple loan company, you just start realizing what you’re truly capable of. You just gotta keep your eyes open and try new things and continue to try to build. I remember one of my first feelings of accomplishment. It’s a very small thing, but it really influenced me a lot.”

“The first thing I always like to say is, what are your goals? Because, you know, I want to ensure that I\'m a good match for you if you’re working with me. Then the second thing, too, is if you’re not, I just want you to have a vision of what you want your life to look like. So that the best thing that I can do is tell a person to pick up a book that\'s got to do with real estate.”

In Season 2, Episode 7 of the Boss Uncaged Podcast, S.A. Grant continues his Real Estate Month by interviewing Leonard Nesmith, a.k.a. “Lenny The Boss” - Founder of The Journey To Success In Real Estate. Leonard is a Real Estate Investor with a true passion for helping beginner Real Investors understand and perfect their craft.

“Just put your head down and keep trying to not be afraid to ask questions and learn from those who went first. I mean, so much of my business was honestly built on mirroring and pestering other people that I saw were successful. When I had questions, I picked about five real estate agents that I knew were doing a good job and smart and really driving their business and would just kind of rotate through who I call with questions. It’s kind of like the whole learned to crawl before you can walk. I needed to learn what other people were doing before I felt comfortable saying this is what I’m going to do differently.” - Jessica Arledge

In Season 2, Episode 6 of the Boss Uncaged Podcast, S.A. Grant kicks off his Real Estate Month by interviewing Jessica Arledge of The Arledge Team at Keller Williams.

“The first thing is, just start. So many people overthink everything. And then what happens is when you start, all that goes out the window anyway. So why don’t you just start? Like you can make the most perfect business plan. Doesn’t mean anything unless you actually start. So just start. And then equally important is not to stop because you’re going to run into some hurdles. It may take 10 years to hit a grand slam, but it doesn’t take 10 years to hit a home run. You can get to a sweet spot in less than 10 years. But if you’re willing to put in 10 years, you can really accomplish just about anything. So just be comfortable figuring it out as you go, and honestly, don’t listen to other people’s advice, including my own.”

In episode 3 of season 2, S.A. Grant interviews SEO Beast Master Damon Burton. On the surface, overnight success stories don’t always occur overnight. Damon’s 14-year journey towards success spans both ends of the success to failure spectrum.

“I think the first thing is to, as I said before, work on your self-discipline, do something in your business every single day, do something in your craft every day. I used to get crazy looks from family members. I would be on vacation and I got my laptop. I\'m on a beach and I\'m opening it up and I\'m doing something for 15, 20 minutes.

‘Ty, you’re on vacation, you’re not supposed to be working?’

No, I\'m going to be working because I want to be able to take a vacation any time I want to.”

“...take this podcast as a tool. It\'s an opportunity to hear from other people that are in multiple different industries that are all on like journeys. And everybody\'s journey is similar in the sense that they started here and their goal is to get here. If they want to become a millionaire, if they want to have a successful business, if they want to have an enterprise, whatever it is, they have to start somewhere and they have to climb to this level.”

Throughout 26 interviews, S.A. chronicles the lives and business breakthroughs of entrepreneurs and business owners from all walks of life.

\"... I\'m fifty percent creative and fifty percent analytical, so in my research of these questions that I\'m asking everybody on the show, I\'ve done the research to figure out what questions are going to spark an emotional response based upon who I\'m interviewing. Then that question opens up Pandora\'s box. I know everybody\'s answer is going to be uniquely different, but as they\'re answering these questions, just based upon the structure of the questions, that\'s going to lead into a scenario to where it\'s going to go into faith, it\'s going to go into, well, I\'m doing this because naysayers or somebody didn\'t believe in me or I hit these particular hurdles. And that\'s why the questions are staged as they are...\" - S. A. Grant
