Invest Smarter Podcast
Episode 38: If You Master Yourself, You Will Master The Market
Host: Simon Castillo
Guest: Jerremy Alexander Newsome
Producer: April Munson

Simon Castillo is joined by Jerremy Alexander Newsome to discuss:

That was a 34 million dollar mistake
Beginning the entrepreneurship journey at a young age
Fail with as many people watching as possible. Fail, as big as you can.
Everyone should taste blissful pure defeat
The money is the easy part. The money can be found. It’s available.
If you master yourself, you’ll master the market
If you have access to internet, you have access to income

Jerremy Alexander Newsome, the CEO and Founder of Real Life Trading, has lived a life most would find sort of unconventional.  Growing up dirt poor in rural Georgia, to now owning part of an island and living an extremely blessed life, he knows what is only possible when you become serious about changing your mindset, and deciding to live a mentally delicious abundant lifestyle!

Invest Smarter Podcast
Episode 36: Passive Real Estate Investing Is Truly Magical, The Wealth That Passive Real Estate Investing Can Create For Families Is Life Changing
Host: Simon Castillo
Guest: Angie Aki
Producer: April Munson

Simon Castillo is joined by Angie Aki to discuss:

Immense growth from wholesaling in real estate
Set goals and be very clear about the desired outcome of those goals
Partner with others who have unique skills to help the group grow as a team
Time freedom - what does that mean?
More wealth to be in the hands of women in the coming years!
We need more female investors in the industry

Angie Aki has been a real estate investor for the past 4+ years. She left a successful pharmaceutical sales career in 2019 after 18 years in corporate America to enter real estate investing full-time. That is when she discovered passive real estate investing and fell in love with it.

She currently invests both actively and passively. She has successfully executed over 100 real estate transactions as an active investor and has an equity share in over 600 doors as an operator, co-GP, fund manager, LP or lender.

She founded Ohana Investment Partners to bring the magic of passive real estate investing to as many people as possible so they can grow their wealth alongside me without taking on another full-time job. They focus on multifamily and commercial assets in the Southeast US and the Sun Belt States as well as development and entitlement projects in Florida and Texas.
