In this Monday Manna episode of the Brick by Brick Podcast, I talk about how remembering that life ends can change the way we live it. Being remembered isn't the goal. Being remembered for the right reasons is.

What you'll learn:

• Why legacy is built on an ordinary Monday, not in one big moment
• How to be a fruitful presence in other people's lives
• Why you should never trade your family or integrity for success
• The difference between good works and the grace that saves us
• How hope in Jesus makes grief real but not hopeless

"Build wealth, build businesses, build opportunities, but most importantly, build a life worth remembering."

In this episode of the Brick by Brick Podcast, I break down why so many new real estate investors never land their first deal. Mindset matters more than money or opportunity. I share three mindset shifts that help beginners stop studying and start doing.

What you'll learn:

- Why education can turn into an excuse not to act

- Why rejection is part of the process, not a failure

- Why you shouldn't get emotionally attached to your first deal

- Why consistency beats intensity

- Why real estate is a business, not a get-rich-quick scheme

Cayce Stone deployed to Iraq in 2004. When he got back he started a software company, grew it to 70 employees, had an exit in 2015 — then got into real estate with no money for marketing.

So he went door knocking.

850 houses later — buying 90 to 100 this year alone — he joins the Brick by Brick Podcast to break down exactly how he built it and what he learned along the way.

What we cover:
🪖 How military service shaped his entrepreneurial mindset
🚪 How door knocking the foreclosure list built his first 40-50 deals
🏠 His owner finance model — buying distressed, selling to families who can't get a bank loan
📈 How Google Ads replaced door knocking at scale
💡 Why 15-20% of his leads he turns away — sending sellers to retail instead
❤️ The human side of real estate — sellers crying because you're the answer to their prayers

This is what brick by brick actually looks like over 12 years.
