  • 134. Burnt Out to Bought In: A Nurse's Journey to Financial Independence Through Real Estate | Stacey Stegenga, RN

    Stacey Stegenga wasn’t always a real estate investor, she was a nurse. But not just any nurse, Stacey was a flight nurse, helping transport military patients across the US. When she wasn’t away for flight nursing, she picked up travel nursing, moving around the US for months at a time to provide medical care wherever needed. She finally ended up in Denver to be close to family and grow some roots, but her pay was painfully cut in half . After educating herself intensely, she took the risk and jumped into real estate investing. Stacey was able to build an 8 unit portfolio in just 18 months and became a passive investor in a syndication! She now has experience with out-of-state investing, building a team, raising private capital, and mid-term rentals, all of which have worked out generously in her favor. Stacey’s love for real estate investing stems from supplementing her salary as a full-time nurse. She is passionate about improving healthcare and advocates for legislation to change the harmful work environment that so many healthcare professionals are forced to tolerate.

  • 132. The Role of Fatty Acids in Medical Conditions, Revisiting Seed Oils & Buying The Right Oil | Udo Erasmus, PhD

    Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., introduced the importance of essential fats (EFA's) derived from organic flax seeds to the world. He pioneered methods for producing unrefined oils made with health in mind which are still used today by manufacturers of flax and other oils. Starting in the mid-1980's, Udo popularized the use of flax oil through an exhaustive itinerary of public lectures, which eventually led to TV and radio interviews. His ground-breaking book, Fats that Heal Fats That Kill, became the industry's bible on fats. Later he developed an oil blend which is an improvement on flax oil, offering a better ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. Because of Udo's commitment to the field of fats and oils, there are now a variety of high-quality, EFA-rich oils available in health food stores and dispensaries around the world. Udo's contribution to the fields of health and nutrition, along with his pioneering work to establish standards of quality for oil manufacture will continue to benefit humanity for decades to come.
