Get Your FILL

In this episode of Get Your Fill: Financial Independence and Long Life, host Christine McCarron sits down with Kirk Welsh, a former licensed architect who turned a mid-career crisis into a thriving entrepreneurial journey. Kirk is now the CEO of Housewarming, a specialized flooring company, but his path from a $40 million corporate project to business ownership is a masterclass in internal alignment and habit stacking.

In this episode of Get Your FILL, Christine McCarron interviews Jim Boad about a non-conventional real estate niche: sober living and group homes. Jim has opened 14 homes in two years and now helps entrepreneurs navigate this high-impact, high-ROI business model.

In this episode of Get Your Fill: Financial Independence and Long Life, host Christine McCarron interviews Tim Street, Marine veteran, former real estate agent, tech startup founder, and CEO of Foolproof FSBO (For Sale By Owner). Tim shares how he left chasing commissions to help homeowners sell confidently without traditional agents and keep tens of thousands in equity.

Christine McCarron welcomes Henry Yoshida. He discusses his background and Rocket Dollar, which manages about $12 billion in self-directed IRA assets, allowing investments beyond traditional stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

The discussion critiques the traditional reactive healthcare system (symptom management via Big Pharma/insurance) and advocates for preventive, data-driven functional medicine to extend healthspan (quality years) alongside lifespan. Dancel rejects the idea that aging means inevitable decline, pain, and disease.

The episode beautifully blends personal story, cultural wisdom, wellness insights, and practical entrepreneurship lessons, centered on community, mindset, and turning a simple village value into a thriving franchise opportunity.

The podcast episode of Get Your Fill: Financial Independence and Long Life, hosted by Christine McCarron, features a heartfelt, inspiring conversation with Athena Brownson, a Denver-based real estate agent, emerging developer, former professional freestyle skier, and someone who has navigated severe chronic illness (primarily Lyme disease and related autoimmune conditions) for about 9 years. The discussion centers on personal resilience, mindset shifts, habit formation, and turning adversity into growth — with real estate serving as a steady anchor throughout her journey. The tone is warm, vulnerable, and motivational, blending life lessons from athletics, illness, and professional success.

Mortgage note investing offers a powerful path to passive income and cash flow through alternative investments, distinct from traditional Wall Street stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. In this episode of Get Your Fill, host Christine McCarron speaks with best-selling author and educator Fred Moskowitz, who has trained countless investors on creating hands-off income streams. Unlike direct real estate investing—which demands time-consuming property management, tenant issues, repairs, and renovations—note investing lets you own the debt on a property as the lender. Homeowners handle all maintenance, freeing investors (especially busy professionals from tech or other fields) to scale portfolios without the daily grind, while still benefiting from real estate exposure.

In the latest episode of Get Your Fill, host Christine McCarron chats with Mike Zlotnik—aka Big Mike, CEO of TF Management Group and a full-time real estate fund manager since 2009. After a successful but burnout-prone IT career, Mike jumped ship right after the Great Financial Crisis, inspired by his earliest wins: snagging his first Brooklyn apartment at a steep discount in 2000 from a motivated seller, then buying eight more units in the same building from an 85-year-old eager to relocate. These deals revealed real estate’s “inefficient” market, where buyers can build huge margins of safety on acquisition rather than hoping for appreciation. What started as family partnerships quickly scaled into his first fund, turning a passion for predictable passive income into a professional operation—complete with one rare, speculative Manhattan townhome redevelopment that he admits is pure excitement, not core strategy.

Dan Norcross, founder and CEO of Regal Relocations, a UK-based serviced accommodation company specializing in contractor housing for long-term stays, joined Christine McCarron on the Get Your Fill podcast to share his path to financial independence. After a 20-year engineering career at Jaguar Land Rover, Dan left the corporate world to prioritize family time—especially with his father who has Parkinson’s disease—and more moments with his wife and three daughters. Rejecting vague “just retire” goals, he built a profitable property portfolio around specific life priorities, using simple win-win partnerships between landlords, investors, and guests to create sustainable income while designing the semi-retired lifestyle he actually wanted.
