As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to get honest about our money. In this episode, we sit down together to unpack what it really means to reflect on our finances, understand our numbers, and set intentional goals for 2026.

Daniel, Bo, and Julia break down why most agents live closing to closing, how commingling business and personal funds keeps us blind to the truth, and why running a P&L on both sides of our financial lives matters. We explore the Profit First method, the power of setting up multiple buckets, and how to build discipline through structure—not willpower.

We also talk tax strategy: year-end deductions, depreciation, charitable giving, and why your CPA’s job (reducing taxable income) might conflict with your lender’s job (qualifying you for a loan). And we dive into the hierarchy of goals—I Promise, I Know, I Think, I Hope, I Pray—and how tying emotion to your goals creates real momentum.

Whether you’re preparing for taxes, planning for growth, or simply trying to stop “living on swipe,” this conversation gives you the clarity, tools, and practical steps to make 2026 your strongest financial year yet.

"You are not a leader because you call yourself one—you're a leader when your people call you a leader."

In this episode, world-renowned body language and sales expert Linda Clemons joins us to unpack the unspoken side of leadership. From posture to presence, she reveals how every movement communicates confidence—or undermines it.

Linda gives us some great tips on how to project influence, build unshakable confidence, and truly lead others.

When the doors won’t open, build your own. That’s exactly what Angel Brunner did.

As founder and CEO of EB5 Capital, Angel transformed barriers into opportunity—helping over 2,000 families from 75+ countries realize the American dream and creating more than 50,000 U.S. jobs along the way.  

She shares how lessons from martial arts shaped her resilience, how the EB5 immigrant investor program became the foundation for her purpose-driven business, and why confidence must come from within. Angel also reflects on leadership at the highest level, serving on major boards, and using bias as quiet fuel for success.  

This conversation is a masterclass in courage, conviction, and building lasting impact from the inside out.

In a world that feels increasingly chaotic—economically, socially, and emotionally—how do we stay focused long enough to see opportunity when others only see crisis? In this episode, we dive deep into that question with Emerick, Bo, and Julia, unpacking what it means to "find opportunity in a chaotic world."

We explore why chaos is often the birthplace of wealth, how to shift from self-preservation to collaboration, and why relationships—not resources—are the true measure of power. We talk about staying in our "gift zone," maintaining discernment in uncertainty, and preparing for opportunities before they appear.

At its heart, this conversation is about mindset and movement: seeing the moment for what it is, acting with clarity, and trusting that collective strength creates lasting wealth.

Success in entrepreneurship isn’t luck—it’s discipline, mindset, and connection. In this episode, Julia, Emerick, and Bo come together for a deep dive into their essentials for  entrepreneurial success—and actionable tips to help you find and develop them for yourself.

We explore how to identify our purpose and passion as the “fuel” that drives lasting success, then translate it into a clear mission and vision that others can follow. We dive into resilience—why setbacks and failure are essential to growth—and the mindset shift required to see lessons where others see loss. Bo shares the power of purpose and contribution, Julia reframes emotional regulation as a business skill, and Emerick reminds us that “relationships take you places money can’t.”

From building legacy and generational wealth to surrounding ourselves with the right people, this conversation is a roadmap for leading, learning, and lasting in business.

When it comes to building wealth, most of us were never taught where to start—or how to make our money work harder than we do. In this episode, we sit down with financial advisor and community leader PJ Hill to learn how to move from surviving to scaling. He breaks down the steps from day one: build your emergency fund, set up retirement contributions, protect your family with simple term life insurance, and automate investments so wealth becomes a habit.

We explore PJ’s “four buckets” framework—business income, qualified accounts, non-qualified brokerage, and private markets—and how thinking like a family office can help us coordinate taxes, legal, insurance, and investments under one strategy. Along the way, PJ shares how his family uses insurance and governance to turn assets into opportunity. His message is clear: we all deserve wealth—it’s time to build it intentionally, together.

In this episode, Bowman Keatie and Daniel Dixon sit down with Vernon Beckford and Eric Andrew, founders of Diversified Lending Solutions. From Wall Street to wealth creation, Vernon and Eric share how they’re helping diverse developers bridge the gap between knowledge and capital.

They unpack what it means to “be bankable,” why site control is often more valuable than capital itself, and how discipline—not speed—creates sustainable success. The conversation also explores collective wealth-building, readiness to receive capital, and how communities of color can mobilize their own resources to build generational wealth.

From a hut in a refugee camp to Harvard, bestselling author and social entrepreneur Mawi Asgedom shares how scarcity forged creativity, grit, and a new relationship with wealth. He walks us through his “sunlight” framework—relationships, creativity, experiences, and self-care—as the human energy source behind bold action. Mawi reveals the scrappy campaign that landed him on Oprah (and tripled his advance), the shift from one-to-one speaking to community-wide literacy initiatives, and the strategy that scaled his impact: ed-tech courses with per-student revenue and a professional team. We unpack moving from trading time for money to building sellable income streams and, later, becoming a senior-secured lender. At the core: money is just one slice of true wealth. If you need a push to reframe your model and hit your turbo button—this is it.

Attorney-turned-operator Kendall Bonner joins Julia and Emerick to unpack how modern marketing—and a CEO mindset—can transform a real estate career into a durable business. Kendall shares the story behind her new role at eXp and how “asking” created the opportunity, then walks through the unconventional engine that scaled her team to 200+ sides without cold calling or portal leads. From AI, video, and Google-based intent to her “Data D’s” framework for finding motivated movers, Kendall shows agents how to speak to life events, not just listings. We break down brokerage vs. team economics, revenue vs. profit, and why profit is intentional. Kendall also urges agents to buy back their time, add ancillary revenue around a single client journey, and actually invest in the asset we sell. She closes with a challenge: decide what’s non-negotiable—then live it.
