Today, we’ve got your host Jimmy Mortgage, sitting down with Tenille Ortiz, and let me tell you… This woman is incredible.

She's been running Cupcake Carriage for 12 years now, and it's way more than just a bakery on wheels. Tenille grew up in Harlem and didn't have any fancy connections or startup money. She literally built this thing from nothing.

What started as making custom cakes turned into this amazing mobile experience where they roll up to corporate events and realtor open houses with fresh cupcakes, French macarons, and even ice cream.

But here's the cool part… families can actually hop inside the truck and decorate cookies with their kids while checking out open houses. It's genius, right? Realtors are eating this up because it helps them stand out from everyone else doing the same boring stuff.

But wait, it gets better. Tenille isn't just about making money; she's giving back big time through her "Built from Scratch" program, where she teaches kids from inner-city communities how to run businesses using cupcakes as the teaching tool.

This woman knows her stuff too - she tracks every single ingredient down to the tablespoon because she gets that knowing your numbers is everything.

The story that'll get you, though, is when her very first big client turned out to be someone from her old neighborhood who'd been quietly watching her grind for three years and dropped $1,200 on a birthday party package just to show her daughter that people like them can make it. That's real community support that hits different.

The Shocking Truth About Podcast Money

Only 1% of podcasts make six figures, and 97% never even reach 200 episodes. But here's the twist: it's not because podcasting is saturated. It's because most creators are playing the game completely wrong. Brendan Boyd, who's helped podcasters generate millions in revenue, reveals that 78% of podcasters are chasing brand deals and sponsorships while the real money is hiding in plain sight.

The brutal reality? About 90% of podcasters don't even have an LLC. They're treating million-dollar opportunities like weekend hobbies, which is why they fail before they start.

The "First Class" Strategy That Changes Everything

Brendan drops a game-changing analogy: your free podcast is like economy seating on a plane, while paid communities are first class. And guess what? First class is always full. Even with just 100 downloads, if 10% of your audience pays $99/month for premium access, that's $1,000 in recurring revenue. Most podcasters never offer "first class" because they don't realize people are willing to pay for more access.

The $500 VIP Package Secret

Here's where it gets brilliant. Every guest on your show is essentially getting free videography and content creation. If they hired someone else, they'd pay top dollar. Brendan flips this by offering guests a VIP package with edited clips, raw footage, and behind-the-scenes content for $500. The conversion rate? 40-50% of guests say yes. That's an extra $2,000-3,000 per month from content you're already creating.

From Seven Figures to Zero (And Back Again)

Brendan's backstory is wild. He built a seven-figure clothing company using his grandmother's life insurance money and home equity, then lost it all because he didn't understand business fundamentals. The lesson? America's economy runs on other people's money, not your own savings. He calls it the "black tie event" principle: show up properly structured as a business, and you get access to funding and opportunities. Show up like a hobbyist, and you don't even get past security.

The Camera as Ultimate Leverage

Want to network with successful people? Stop asking them to lunch. Brendan discovered that the same entrepreneurs who won't spare 30 minutes for coffee will happily do hour-long podcast interviews. The camera became his entry point into circles that would have been impossible to access otherwise. Everyone wants exposure, so your podcast becomes the key that opens every door.

The Bottom Line

Brendan's currently documenting his mission to hit two million dollars in six months, but he's quick to remind us that what seems big to most people is small to others. The real message? If you're not willing to invest five figures to make six figures, you don't really want it. The information is out there, the tools exist, and the market is wide open for those who treat podcasting like the media business it actually is.

From Survival Mode to Abundance Mindset

Charles shares his journey from growing up in a single-parent household with a "lack mindset" to understanding abundance. He explains how realizing there are enough resources, real estate, and wealth for everyone transformed his approach to business and life.

Key Quote: "Once you get past that level where you feel like you have enough and you realize that there's an abundance of resources, you start to understand that you can share, you can give back, you can impact other people."

Charles discusses his philosophy of focusing on one thing rather than being a serial entrepreneur across multiple ventures. He transitioned from owning various businesses (luxury car rental, Allstate agency) to focusing exclusively on real estate. Key Insight: "I see people with one business as multimillionaires. We're looking down the hall. There's a multimillionaire there, and he does one thing."

Charles challenges the traditional real estate investment approach, advocating for building from scratch rather than fixing and flipping existing properties. 

Charles shares his strategy for using business credit cards at 0% interest instead of expensive hard money loans for real estate investments. Financial Strategy: Business credit allows borrowing in the company's name without affecting personal credit, often at 0% interest for 12-18 months through major banks.

Charles emphasizes the importance of cash flow over large sums of money, pointing to athletes and celebrities who burn through fortunes. Wealth Philosophy: "Cash flow is the king. Cash flow is wealth. It's not a stack of money because we see athletes burn that stack of money." Charles addresses the decline in Black land ownership from 14% after the Civil War to just 1.3% today, emphasizing the need for legacy building and succession planning.

Charles traces the evolution of his podcast from "The Land Bank Show" to "Brick by Brick" to "The Real Estate Newsroom," showing his willingness to adapt and grow. Vision: Creating a dedicated real estate news platform where the community can get real estate news, education, and celebrate wins that mainstream media wouldn't cover. Charles shares his approach to community giving, including turkey drives and toy giveaways during holidays. Core Belief: "I've never seen anyone go broke through donating to charities. Whatever you're giving will find its way back to you tenfold."

Charles reveals his ambitious goal to create a daytime talk show focused on real estate success stories, potentially picked up by a major network. Fearless Approach: "I'm not afraid to lose. I'm not afraid to fail... the fear of failure bothers some people, but failure will push you so much further ahead than if you never did it." Key Takeaways: This episode reveals several transformative principles that Charles has applied throughout his journey.

Midtown Direct Expertise Emma Murtha specializes in helping NYC commuters transition to New Jersey suburbs along the Midtown Direct train line.

She guides clients through everything from train schedules to parking availability, ensuring they make informed decisions about their move.

Her deep knowledge of commuter logistics helps families avoid common pitfalls like buying a house only to discover they can't park at the train station. The Neighborhood-First Philosophy "Nobody buys a home without first being in love with the neighborhood," Emma explains.

She believes in transparency, showing clients exactly what homes have sold for and asking if they could see themselves paying similar amounts. Her guiding motto for buyers is "You win in this market as long as you walk away without regret," helping them make decisions they can live with long-term.

Market Reality Check When buyers experience sticker shock or get overwhelmed by negative media coverage, Emma helps them overcome fears by presenting hard data on unemployment rates, market conditions, and inventory levels. Rather than just offering reassurance, she debunks recession fears with factual information, showing clients concrete data that illustrates current market realities versus past economic downturns.

Full-Service Approach The Sue Adler Team operates with specialists for every transaction step, from pre-inspection to closing, ensuring clients receive expert guidance throughout their journey. Emma also assists with rentals when buying isn't the right fit, understanding that sometimes clients need to step back before moving forward. This flexibility helps people make the best decision for their circumstances rather than forcing a purchase. What Drives Her "We're not just finding them a house - it's a place, a setting for their life and to make memories," Emma reflects.

Her passion comes from knowing she's helping create the backdrop for life's most important moments, from first days of school to holiday gatherings. This perspective transforms each transaction from a simple real estate deal into something deeply meaningful. South Orange Love. When pressed to choose a favorite town, Emma picks South Orange for what she calls the "trifecta" of great downtown, excellent schools, and convenient train access.

She loves the historic charm of older homes and the vibrant restaurant scene that keeps suburban life exciting, proving that moving from the city doesn't mean sacrificing culture and dining options.

Dr. Jules, audiologist at Hearing Doctors of New Jersey, shares her remarkable journey from competitive figure skater to hearing healthcare advocate. Her path to audiology began with a career-changing injury at 14 that was overlooked by multiple doctors for months, leaving her in excruciating pain and unable to walk.

She emphasizes that hearing is our only sense that works 24/7, noting that "we close our eyes, not our ears," which makes it fundamentally different from vision. For children, this is particularly crucial since 80% of their learning is "incidental," meaning they're simply listening to conversations around them and absorbing information naturally.

Modern hearing healthcare has evolved dramatically from the traditional quick visits to comprehensive 2-hour appointments that include advanced testing of how your brain processes sound. Dr. Jules's practice offers same-day treatment to prevent the typical 7-10 year delay that most people experience before addressing their hearing issues. They've even integrated cognitive screening into hearing evaluations, recognizing the interconnected nature of hearing and brain health.

Dr. Jules delivers a strong warning about the biggest hearing health mistake people make: getting hearing aids at big box stores like Costco. Using a memorable analogy, she states, "You wouldn't get a colonoscopy at Costco," emphasizing that hearing healthcare requires professional medical treatment from licensed audiologists, not DIY solutions or over-the-counter hearing aids for serious hearing loss.

Perhaps the most touching moment comes when Dr. Jules shares a story about an elderly patient who hadn't treated her hearing loss for over a decade. When the hearing aids were first fitted, the woman nearly cried because she could hear clearly for the first time in years. This patient, who had lost her husband two years prior, now comes in regularly and hugs Dr. Jules, saying "I love you" and representing the profound impact that proper hearing care can have on someone's life and relationships.

Dr. Jules practices at Hearing Doctors of New Jersey, located in Livingston near the Livingston Diner on Northfield Road. Her practice specializes in comprehensive 2-hour evaluations with same-day treatment options.

Dr. Jules, audiologist at Hearing Doctors of New Jersey, shares her remarkable journey from competitive figure skater to hearing healthcare advocate. Her path to audiology began with a career-changing injury at 14 that was overlooked by multiple doctors for months, leaving her in excruciating pain and unable to walk.

This experience of medical oversight shaped her mission that "I wouldn't let any disease go overlooked," ultimately leading her to pursue a doctorate in audiology where she could help others avoid similar experiences.

She emphasizes that hearing is our only sense that works 24/7, noting that "we close our eyes, not our ears," which makes it fundamentally different from vision. For children, this is particularly crucial since 80% of their learning is "incidental," meaning they're simply listening to conversations around them and absorbing information naturally.

Dr. Jules's practice offers same-day treatment to prevent the typical 7-10 year delay that most people experience before addressing their hearing issues. They've even integrated cognitive screening into hearing evaluations, recognizing the interconnected nature of hearing and brain health.

One of the most enlightening parts of the discussion centers on tinnitus, which Dr. Jules corrects as "tinnitus" rather than "tinnitus," explaining that the suffix "-itis" means inflammation, which tinnitus isn't. She reveals that 90% of tinnitus cases are actually symptoms of hearing loss, and there's now an FDA-approved treatment called "Lenire" that became available in 2023. Her message is clear: don't believe anyone who tells you to "just live with it" because effective treatment options exist.

#hearingdoctor #hearingloss #newjersey 

Michelle Cooper brings a fascinating twist to Northern New Jersey real estate as a licensed broker who simultaneously works as a flight attendant. While most agents are tied to their desks, Michelle closes deals from crew rest areas at 30,000 feet, maintaining her business through WiFi connections and strategic scheduling across time zones. Her unique lifestyle allows her to jet off to Cape Town, South Africa, every four months just to get her hair braided - a testament to how she's mastered work-life integration.

Her journey into real estate began after reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, but it's her seven-year background as a mental health social worker that gives her the edge. This psychology training helps her navigate the emotional rollercoaster of buying and selling homes, understanding client behavior in ways most agents never could. Her approach to networking is refreshingly direct: "Hi, I'm Michelle Cooper. Can I list your home?" - and somehow, it works.

Michelle doesn't sugarcoat the harsh realities of Northern New Jersey's market. She breaks down the rent-versus-buy math for clients: paying $3,000-$4,000 in rent versus $4,000-$5,000 for a mortgage that builds equity and offers tax benefits. Her most challenging deal involved a seller who had died years earlier without anyone knowing, requiring her to navigate complex cross-state title issues that took over eight months to resolve, proving that real estate can be more dramatic than any in-flight turbulence.

Between flights to Ghana for medical missions and her regular Cape Town hair appointments, Michelle has found her sweet spot serving Essex, Morris, and Union counties. Her philosophy is simple: understand your client's "why," price properties realistically, and remember that agents need to work together, not against each other. Oh, and if you're ever in the area, she recommends the oxtail dumplings at Seasons in Inglewood - just don't plan on driving home after their cocktails.

#realestate #realtor #businessowners #businessminded #businessmindset 

Grab your coffee and settle in - we're diving into the real world of real estate with someone who's tripled his business in just two years!

You know that friend who always keeps it 100? That's Chris Andres.

This guy went from being a few transactions short of his first Circle of Excellence to becoming the realtor other agents actually respect. And here's the kicker - he doesn't even use those fancy credentials to sell himself. It's just there, quietly doing the work in the background, giving him that competitive edge when it comes to getting offers accepted in tough markets.

He's figured out something most people miss: authenticity beats perfection every single time. He's mastering the social media game with one-minute videos that actually provide value, using movie clips (shoutout to The Money Pit!) to explain real estate situations, and sharing the boring-but-important stuff like "Why choosing the right attorney matters." The best part? That random video of him cutting a root out of his lawn got over 1,000 views. Sometimes the most random content connects because it's real. He's learned that it's not about the views - it's about being genuine and providing value, even if it takes three months to figure out how to use that content effectively.

Those regulatory changes hit the real estate world hard, and Chris doesn't sugarcoat it. He's had deals where sellers won't pay buyer agent commissions, and guess what?

His clients stepped up because they saw his value. Here's a real talk moment: Chris had a client journey that lasted from August to February - six offers, one heartbreaking almost-deal that fell through during the attorney review, and finally success. Through it all, both Chris and Jimmy kept the client focused on the end game: finding a home. It's stories like these that show how much work buyer's agents really do, and why Chris believes he's worth that 3% commission.

The work-life juggle is real for Chris. He coaches wrestling, helps with baseball, tries to hit every game, and sometimes has to figure out carpools like the rest of us. His secret? Community. When you can't be everywhere at once, having people who've got your back makes all the difference. 

Don't wait for the "perfect" market timing. Value matters more than just getting the lowest price. Having someone who's been through it all, who'll shoot straight with you, and who actually cares about the outcome? That's worth its weight in gold.

In this powerful episode, host Jimmy Mortgage sits down with real estate leader and mentor Irving Cham for an authentic conversation about professional growth, relationship building, and navigating today's challenging real estate market.

Known as "the people's voice," Irving shares his philosophy of putting people over profit and how this approach has shaped his successful career in real estate leadership.

Irving emphasizes that real estate success isn't about chasing luxury markets or the latest technology—it's about mastering the fundamentals and treating every client like a luxury client.

He explains how building genuine relationships and providing exceptional service naturally leads to business growth, using the analogy of a well-equipped plumber who comes prepared with all the necessary tools versus one who only brings a wrench. "Luxury is not just about the properties and the amenities," Irving notes, "it's also about the service that you provide to your client."

Irving shares a story about counseling a potential recruit to return to his former brokerage and repair a damaged relationship instead of joining his company. This decision, which cost Irving a potential hire, ultimately led to that agent's renewed success and happiness. It perfectly illustrates Irving's "people over profit" philosophy and his commitment to doing what's truly best for individuals, even when it doesn't benefit him financially.

Irving shares insights from his involvement with organizations like the NAACP and ARIA, explaining how understanding different cultural perspectives and business practices has enhanced his ability to serve diverse clients. He emphasizes that America's business landscape requires cultural competency to navigate successfully, drawing from his international business education to highlight how important it is to understand the cultural nuances of different communities.

Irving opens up about how his faith and family, particularly his relationship with his son, keep him grounded and focused on what truly matters. He discusses the importance of being present in his son's life and how his own evolving relationship with his father has shaped his parenting approach. He shares advice from his mentor, Maurice Coleman, about prioritizing presence over profit when it comes to family, emphasizing that being there for his son is more important than any lucrative opportunity that would take him away.

Jimmy reflects on how Irving's mentorship has transformed his own approach to business, particularly in building his podcast and maintaining focus during challenging financial periods. Irving's consistent message to "provide value and your currency will change" has been instrumental in Jimmy's continued commitment to creating meaningful content and building authentic relationships in his industry.
