Mason Moreland is an active real estate investor in a growing niche, literally. He specializes in syndication, development, and operation of large mechanized wine grape vineyards in the Texas High Plains. With a background as a biologist and 9 years in traditional real estate investing, Mason found himself in a unique position to attack a market gap in the Texas wine industry, targeting fruit production for high-value mid-priced wine. His company, Texas Vine Country, uses syndication and vineyard mechanization to scalably develop vineyards to produce high yield, high quality wine grapes for Texas wineries at incredible prices.

This episode is going to be extremely different than any other type of investing we've ever even talked about on the show or honestly, that I've ever even heard about when you look at the industry as a whole, because we're talking about agricultural investing. In this episode, Mason dives into how this type of investment looks and the that returns investors can expect from it. He also shares with us how he got into this type of business and why investors should look into the agriculture sector. Listen in!

Aaron Hale is a 14 year veteran of both the Navy and Army, had deployed once to Iraq and was on his second mission to Afghanistan when an IED took his eyes and ended his operational career as an EOD Team Leader. Instead of allowing himself to become a victim, he sees his injury as an example of divine direction and began teaching at the EOD school as he awaited military retirement. He eventually got into real estate and tried different niches where he has done out-of-state, online auction, hard money, private money, BRRRR, all in his first deal. He then cashed out to buy a duplex and a SFR BRRRRNB. He wanted more capital and deal flow, and started a land flipping business with a fellow wounded service member nearing his retirement. Now, they will be wholesaling homes and land, keeping one to BRRRRNB from time to time, with a large multifamily as the long view.

In this episode, Aaron and I talked specifically about the BRRRRNB strategy, including that into short term rentals, also how to do that out of state and a handful of other different niches. Aaron also shared with us his story and how he was able to always live the "Challenge Accepted!" mindset despite all that he has been through.

Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I really wanted to talk about the concept of growth as well as the importance of having the right mindset behind it. I want to share this with you because when I first started even thinking about getting into this business, I would have never guessed that I'd be where I am toda.Just a few years ago, I would have never guessed this is the position I would be in today. And so I wanted to let you in on some growth mindset that I think contributed to this which you may be able to apply for yourself as well.

The Concept of Growth and Having the Right Mindset

• Setting crystal clear goals is key to growth
• Being surrounded with like-minded people allows your mindset to shift
• Challenge yourself to think bigger
• Quick update on my life in the last 12 months

Resources Mentioned:

• Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold

Key Quotes:

"I want to encourage you to actually think bigger than what you believe your current goal to be. And I say that because when you surround yourself with the right people, your mindset and goals shift from your thinking and your kind of bubble and your thought process of what you believe to be possible." - Josh Ferrari

Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I want to share a conversation I had with a friend who surprised me when he said that he actually makes it a point to read fewer books in a year as opposed to trying to read 50 or more. He says that instead of reading more, he wants to just read 3-5 key books and focus instead on implementing them. This concept blew my mind because I realized that I haven't been exactly applying all the learnings I've gained from all the books that I've read. If you're like me, then I'm pretty sure that you'll find this No Limit Minute episode valuable. Listen in!

Why Less is More and Why Having Focus Key

• Focus on soaking up and implementing the information from the books
• Reading more books may mean that you are not implementing enough
• Try to read 3-5 key books this year and commit to implementing them
• Doing more work and putting in more hours don't usually bring in results for your business
• Sometimes we need to bring back the reins and have more focus on key activities

Resources Mentioned:

• Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book
• Extreme Ownership
• The Hands Off Investor

Key Quotes:

"People always tell us to do more, to work hard and heavy, to keep hustling, to keep grinding. But you really need to bring it back a little bit, focus on just a few things, and watch how far you actually get in your business." - Josh Ferrari

Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I want to talk about my takeaway from the book The Gap and The Gain. At this day and age, a huge chunk of our time is dedicated on the Internet and most of the time, we get to see the highlight reels of our friends, family, and strangers alike. While it's a good thing to be updated with these people's life through a screen, more often than not, we tend to compare our life to what we see on the Internet. And that is exactly what I want to expound on today–that we should focus on our life's gain as opposed to pinpointing and stressing out over the gaps. And in doing so, you might be surprised with how much you have actually achieved. Let's dive in!

The Gap vs. The Gain

• How technology allows us to compare our lives with others
• Targets move as we progress in life
• Avoid comparing your achievements to the gap
• Think about your gain
• • Focus on where you started
  • Look at how far you've come from your starting point
  • It will feel like you're always moving the needle

Resources Mentioned:

• The Gap and the Gain

Key Quotes:

"The target is continuing to move as you are continuing to progress in your life. And that's not a bad thing. Obviously, that's a fantastic thing that you're growing and scaling and continuing to do more and more and better and better in your life." - Josh Ferrari
