- The Importance of Following ThroughToday Jack and Mike are joined by Michael Susi. He has been in real estate on a full time basis since graduating college in 2019. Throughout his college years pursuing an undergraduate degree in fitness management, he developed a strong interest in real estate. Upon graduating, he had a decision to make: to pursue real estate part time, on top of another unrelated career, or "take the leap" and get into real estate full time. Through networking with real estate professionals, he found his way into a small, hard money lending firm, making this his primary focus. His experience in hard money lending ultimately provided him with the knowledge and resources to get into his own deal. His first deal being a flip of a Triplex in North Berwick, Maine.In addition to his hard money lending, Mike started WhitesPoint, with his business partner, Mark Boutin in July of 2021. WhitesPoint acquires and manages multifamily apartments, and provides a way for the busy working professional to invest in multifamily real estate without the time commitment and added responsibilities. WhitesPoint currently owns and manages a total of 63 apartments across two properties in Georgia.Today, Mike spends his time managing their current portfolio of apartments, seeking the next apartment deal, and nurturing his hard money lending book of business.Follow Mike:Website: https://www.whitespoint.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-susi/Books Mentioned:Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself - Dr. Joe DispenzaShow Resources:Follow, Share, Like & Subscribe to Tell Us Why at:Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC05lKeGlMSQ6DXkq6BX3hkAFacebook Page- https://www.facebook.com/telluswhypod...Faceboook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113391165799107/Podbean - https://telluswhypodcast.podbean.com/Twitter - https://twitter.com/_telluswhyLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/tell-us-why-podcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/telluswhy__/TUW Swag Shop - https://telluswhypod.bigcartel.com/#TellUsWhyPodcast #FinancialIndependence #CommonwealthCollective #eleven24prop #Entrepreneur #realestate #betonyourself36 min
- Set Your Dreams and Go Get ItFrom an early age, Dan has had a passion for creating content. This passion brought him to Boston where he studied film and advertising, and he later went on to begin a career in film/tv. A successful career that continues to this day.Dan enjoyed bourbon from when he was in his mid twenties, but was only introduced to the allocated/rare bourbon market in 2017. Having scored some Pappy Van Winkle quite easily from a store manager he befriended, this started a new passion in Dan's life: the hunt for elusive bourbon's, and documenting his journey via social media content on Instagram, which combined his passion for content w/ his passion for bourbon.Dan created Dan The Bourbon Man, an Instagram page, and his following grew quickly and organically, due to the rising demand for allocated bourbons and timely content.What Dan once started as a passion project, with a goal to get some free swag and bourbon bottles from distilleries, became an advertising/marketing asset that was generating income.Due to demand skyrocketing for hard to find whiskey, and frustration growing amongst bourbon enthusiasts not being able to find bourbons that they like for a good price, Dan saw an opportunity to further connect with his audience. So he launched his website, danthebourbonman.com, and created a community of bourbon hunters that report the good whiskey deals they find through the site. An exclusive VIP subscription service was also launched, which sends out those notifications in real time to VIPs in the area. The website also features his exclusive barrel picks w/ distilleries and his Amazon Influencing page.Dan recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and is currently reading Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant, which has sparked a new passion: the path to financial freedom.Follow Dan:Website: https://danthebourbonman.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/danthebourbonmanTiktok: https://tiktok.com/@danthebourbonmanAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/danthebourbonmanRecommended Books:Rich Dad, Poor DadCashflow QuadrantShow Resources:Follow, Share, Like & Subscribe to Tell Us Why at:Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC05lKeGlMSQ6DXkq6BX3hkAFacebook Page- https://www.facebook.com/telluswhypod...Faceboook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113391165799107/Podbean - https://telluswhypodcast.podbean.com/Twitter - https://twitter.com/_telluswhyLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/tell-us-why-podcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/telluswhy__/TUW Swag Shop - https://telluswhypod.bigcartel.com/#TellUsWhyPodcast #FinancialIndependence #CommonwealthCollective #eleven24prop #Entrepreneur #realestate #bourbon #whiskey39 min

About Tell Us Why
From the publisher's feed
Hey Guys
Welcome to Tell Us Why
A podcast for the financial freedom community
Join hosts Michael Ketchen and Jack Dalrymple every week as they sit down with financial freedom enthusiasts from all walks of life as they share their stories of success, failures, lessons learned and actionable advice.
In business we often get so focused on what we do that we lose sight of the WHY
The WHY is the key to your success.
The WHY is the thing that gives you the courage to take the risks needed to get ahead, stay motivated when the chips are down and move your life onto an entirely new, more challenging, and more rewarding trajectory.
When you know your ‘why’ then your ‘what’ has more impact, because you’re working towards your Goal.
Money is the result of our work, but it’s our “why” that fuels it, that fuels YOU!
If you’re looking to succeed in your quest for Financial Freedom, make sure to join us every week as we along with our guests discuss different stories of success, how they were achieved and how you can do the same.
And of course we ask them to “ Tell Us Why”
