Most people missed the biggest real estate opportunity of the decade.

In this episode, Koloa Wolfgramm breaks down how he went from humble immigrant beginnings to building a hospitality portfolio approaching $1B in assets — by buying hotels when everyone else was terrified.

From growing up in a 1,300-square-foot house with five siblings, to becoming the first Pacific Islander to graduate from Yale Law School, to raising over $100M in equity without Wall Street connections, this conversation is a masterclass in conviction, capital strategy, and long-term thinking.

We talk about:

• Why COVID was the best hotel buying window in history

• How hotels were hit 3× worse than the GFC

• Raising capital without billionaires or institutions

• Targeting investors who already understand the industry

• Buying $100M+ in hotels in one year

• Scaling from $0 to $500M in acquisitions

• Why Ivy League success often creates impostor syndrome

• Family, marriage at 20, and building with responsibility

• Why networking matters more than grades

• The real risks that destroy real estate deals

This isn’t hype.

It’s how serious money is actually built.

“I don’t want my identity tied to alcohol anymore.”

In this raw, long-form conversation, Josh Terry opens up about addiction, identity, attention, trauma, legacy, fatherhood, money, social media, politics, and why happiness — not clout — is the real definition of success.

From growing up poor, navigating family addiction, and almost losing everything… to building a platform by staying authentic and turning pain into purpose — this episode dives deep into what actually matters once the party ends.

We talk about:

• Breaking the “party identity”

• Why attention isn’t the same as fulfillment

• Addiction, ego, and knowing when to pull back

• Legacy vs popularity

• Spotting talent early and giving others shine

• Turning trauma into armor

• Why most people never define success for themselves

• Fatherhood, forgiveness, and accountability

• Social media hate and refusing to read comments

• Happiness as the ultimate metric

This isn’t motivation.

It’s earned perspective.

What does masculinity even mean anymore?

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jason Wojo breaks down boundaries, relationships, money, business, culture, and why so many men feel lost right now.

From dating dynamics and moving out early, to building a 100-person agency, rejecting fake online gurus, questioning gym culture, and calling out financial delusion — this episode is honest, controversial, and grounded in real experience.

We talk about:

• Why boundaries define masculinity

• Modern relationships and respect

• Moving out young vs staying comfortable

• Why most online “leaders” are selling air

• Agency life, bad clients, and real scale

• Why discipline beats motivation

• The hidden cost of validation culture

• Money, debt, and financial delusion

This isn’t motivation.

It’s perspective.
