  • How Adrienne Green Escaped The Grind, Built a Scalable Real Estate Empire, and Travels the World | EP128

    Episode 128!

    Joining us in the studio today is Adrienne Green.  Adrienne learned early in her finance job and later as a high school math teacher that she didn’t enjoy being stuck inside, tied to an office, classroom, or desk.  

    She got her start in real estate without any mentors or family influences by “house hacking” her basement.  As she began to invest in other real estate, she began to understand the struggles of being a solopreneur in real estate.  She was doing everything alone—managing tenants, handling maintenance calls, and tracking expenses. Her portfolio depended entirely on her, leaving no time to focus on growth.  Without systems, scaling only created more stress. Every new property just meant more work.  She was driven to transform her portfolio by running it like a business. 

    Adrienne began creating streamlined systems, hiring a virtual team, and automating key operations, turning her hands-on, time-consuming portfolio into a scalable, profitable business. Now, as a high-energy speaker and coach, she helps other real estate investors do the same so they can scale their portfolio without working 24/7.  

    Tune in to hear Adrienne share how she’s scaled her business and now travels the world with her family in the relentless pursuit of her dreams. 

    Enjoy!

  • No Limits: Aaron Hale on Mindset, Resilience, and Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities From The Point of Impact | EP122

    Episode 122! 

    Joining me in the studio today is my guest, SSG Aaron Hale. Aaron is a 14-year veteran of both the US Navy, where he was a cook and chef to admirals and dignitaries while he sailed in the Mediterranean, and the US Army, where he was an Explosive Ordinance Demolition tech finding, and diffusing or disposing of enemy bombs before they could harm US or Allied service members. 

    While deployed in Afghanistan in December of 2011, an explosion of an undetected secondary bomb took Aaron's eyesight, and later his hearing, and plunged his world into darkness, changing his life forever.  Lying in a hospital bed, Aaron only thought of “I can’t”,  until someone came into his room and asked him if he wanted to go for a bike ride! 

    Aaron started asking “how is this happening FOR me?” and “HOW can I?” instead of asking “WHY is this happening TO me?”, as he recognized that the biggest limitations we have are the limitations we put on ourselves in our minds.    

    Aaron has since run ultra-marathons, skydived, climbed mountains, got married, had 4 kids, including twins, become an entrepreneur, started businesses and invested in real estate.  He’s also a speaker and a top-rated podcast host of the “Point of Impact Podcast”.  

    It was an honor to have Aaron spend time sharing how he is now striving to inspire others to make the positive habit shifts that help them realize the success that is within their reach and closer than they imagine. 

    Tune in and enjoy!

  • The Learn It All Leader: Damon Lembi on Growth, Leadership, and the Power of "I Believe In You" | EP121

    Episode 121! 

    Joining me in the studio today is guest Damon Lembi.  Damon is a 2x best-selling author and leader of global training company Learnit, a live learning platform that’s upskilled over 2 million people. As CEO for over three decades, Damon has gained insights into what helps organizations grow, how great leaders learn, and why learn-it-all companies outpace their competitors every time.  

    Damon is also the podcast host of “The Learn-It-All podcast”, a show for leaders who are ready to get and stay ahead of the game, because as Damon says, “great leaders aren't born or made, they're always in the making. They're constantly creating and re-creating themselves, their companies, and their leadership. The journey is where real growth occurs.”

    Coming to business from a career in baseball, Damon brings an athlete’s perspective on leadership and training and where he recognized early on the impact a leader, coach or parent who says “I believe in you” can have on those he or she mentors, and where curiosity, not bravado, drives growth and innovation. 

    Tune in and hear Damon share his perspective on how to become a leader who can positively impact those around them.
