Greg and Darren have an inspirational conversation about their journey into multifamily investing and how they approach life. It’s all about mindset and intentionally and moving steadily toward growth and discovering how to apply your gifts to make your life, and in turn the world, the best it can be. One of the great takeaways – is “that sometimes you have to move deeper into the woods before you get the food”.

Nathan Herber is a licensed architect in New York and South Carolina and a LEED Accredited Professional with 14 years of experience in commercial and mixed-used real estate developments.  He recently has shifted into the real estate industry working with a brokerage team in the industrial sector as a project manager. In addition, he is a dedicated client representative developing feasibility studies, lease/purchase analysis, site investigations, and early phase performance specifications and architectural drawings. Known to be a proactive leader, Nathan values personal rapport and maintains a firm sense of integrity. He lives in Greenville, SC, with his wife and five-year-old son.

Monica Herber, the creator of The Joyful Unknown, is a Certified Life and Marriage Coach and a Licensed Registered Professional Nurse in NY and SC. She has been happily married for 12 years to Nathan Herber. In 2015, they welcomed their beautiful adoptive son, Caiden, when he was 3 months old, after 7 years of struggling with infertility.  At birth, Caiden survived a severe loss of oxygen, resulting in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, microcephaly, severe epilepsy, and global developmental delays. The Joyful Unknown was born out of Monica’s own discovery of joy, found through the painful struggle toward faith-filled acceptance of her son’s prognosis, and her desire to help other parents like her find joy in the journey less traveled.

On this episode Greg and Darren speak with fellow investor, partner, and friend Mike Konstantas. The focus is on partnerships and how the good ones can propel you on the journey to reach your goals – both professional and personal. With a few observations from Mike’s dad – a business owner for 45 years – there are many nuggets of wisdom to be found in this episode. For example, finding a group of like minded people to partner with can lead beyond the specific project and expand to other opportunities and friendship.

Mike began his real estate journey with the purchase of his first single family rental at 25 and had since acquired 3 more as well as moving to the multifamily space. He has participated in both limited and general partner roles, while growing his portfolio. All of this while still managing the family custom millwork business.

Mike can be reached by phone or text at 917-577-2448 or be email at  [email protected].

In this episode Greg and Darren have an inspiring conversation with investor and philanthropist Jesse Shelton. They hear the story of Jesse’s big “why“ and the steps he took to achieve it. By looking at what he wanted to accomplish with his life and the ways he wanted to impact the communities he cares about, Jesse used his drive and organizational skills to create systems that have allowed that to happen. Through his highly successful house flipping business – the number will blow you away! – he has been able to reach the position where he can take action on the causes he so strongly believes in. 

Jesse had no desire to make a lot of money. He had no desire to be a businessman. In fact, in his early 20’s he published a book titled Life Without Work: A Guide to Happy, Work-free Living espousing the benefits of a low-work, low-expense lifestyle. Although a simple, ecologically-grounded life was satisfying for himself, in January of 2017 Jesse sat down and came to terms with the limits of his ability to help others given his limited financial power. He decided to do something about it. Fast forward to 2020 and he and his wife are retired with enough cash flow to both live comfortably and fund a new private foundation. His is an unusual story of how flipping houses and single-family rentals led to projects in animal welfare, environmental conservation, and educational assistance for low-income students.

You can reach Jesse at [email protected].
