If you’re a home inspector or blue-collar entrepreneur trying to figure out how to build real wealth—not just a busy schedule—this episode is for you.We sit down with the “Godfather” of the inspection world, Nick, to unpack how he went from broke, hungry, and starting over… to millions in real estate, multiple businesses, and commercial inspections.Learn how to protect yourself from inflation, create real freedom, and build a business that actually pays you back.

• The early days of home inspections: on-site reports with photos in the 90s and how that innovation exploded his company

• Why he lost money for 11 years building InterNACHI—and why it was still the right move

• How he quietly built 55 properties worth ~$30M by keeping his crew busy between jobs

• Why he buys heavy equipment instead of Lamborghinis—and how “toys that make money” can change everything

• A simple breakdown of inflation, the dollar, and why he loves gold, silver, and real estate

• How home inspectors can use their X-ray vision to buy under-market properties and outplay hedge funds

• The smartest exit strategy for solo inspectors: building a multi-inspector firm and selling it to your own team

• Why commercial inspections are the next level (from “hundreds” to “thousands”) and how CCPIA fits in

• How to use an SBA-compliant business plan to get funding and transition into commercial inspections
