In this episode of Real Estate Coffee Talk, I sit down with Joe Frederick—real estate investor, former finance "bro", and co-founder of Capital Companion—for a real, unfiltered convo about building wealth, surviving job loss, and turning chaos into cash flow.

Joe shares his journey from getting fired days before his son’s birth (hello, pressure!) to launching a thriving investment company that works with ex-NFL players and builds multi-family portfolios across Pennsylvania. We talk house hacking at 22, the painful lessons of botched promissory notes (yikes), and how agents can stop leaving money on the table and start investing like the pros.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ The house hack that launched Joe’s real estate career
✔️ How to partner with investors (without needing six figures in the bank)
✔️ Why agents NEED to start eating from their own supply
✔️ How to pitch value as a real estate agent to earn equity in deals
✔️ The #1 mindset shift agents must make to start building true wealth

If you’ve ever thought “I should be investing too,” but didn’t know where to start—this is your permission slip AND your playbook.
