In this episode of The Conscious Investor, I dive deep into the journey of restoring joy in the midst of life's challenges. Conscious Investor, with all the uncertainty in the world—whether it's political, economic, or personal—it can feel like joy is slipping away. Drawing from my own experiences, I share how I realized I had lost my sense of joy and how I reclaimed it through three transformative practices: taking a "mental vacation," staying in my lane, and embracing life as an adventure, rather than feeling pressured to always be the expert.
By incorporating these practices—inviting intentional rest, surrendering control, and viewing life as an opportunity for exploration and curiosity—you, Conscious Investor, can rediscover that deep, anchored joy that persists regardless of external circumstances.

Welcome back, or welcome to the Conscious Investor podcast! In this episode, Finding Rest in Routines, I dive into the importance of ensuring our routines serve us, rather than enslave us. As high achievers, it's easy to feel the pressure to stick to rigid schedules, but Conscious Investor, sometimes the best thing we can do is allow ourselves the space to rest. I share three key strategies to help you find peace within your routines—adjusting them to serve you, resisting distractions that pull you from your goals, and learning to rely on others, and for those who share my faith, on God, for support.
As we step into a new season, it’s the perfect time to reassess your routines and ensure they are adding freedom and balance to your life. I hope this episode encourages you to invite rest and intention into your routines, creating a more peaceful and productive path forward.

In this episode of The Conscious Investor, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jered Sturm, co-founder and CEO of SNS Capital Group. Jered’s story is incredibly inspiring—from starting as a maintenance technician in high school to becoming a successful real estate investor with over 1,400 apartment units in Cincinnati, Ohio. Jered shared how his passion for working with his hands led him to build a construction company, which provided the foundation for his entry into multifamily real estate investing. Through hard work, determination, and a focus on operational excellence, Jered and his team have built a vertically integrated business that continues to grow and thrive.
Jered and I discussed the importance of having a clear vision and aligning business practices with personal and company values. He shared how SNS Capital Group is committed to delivering the "feeling of home" to their residents and how this mission shapes every aspect of their operations. We also explored the dynamics of working with family in a business setting, the importance of strong partnerships, and the value of maintaining a solid company culture. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone interested in real estate investing, leadership, and creating a meaningful impact through business.

Have you ever wondered if your morning routine is doing more harm than good? In this episode, I dive deep into the world of morning routines and challenge the notion that they are the ultimate key to peace and success. While routines can provide a solid framework to start our day, they are not the source of true peace. I share my personal journey of shifting from a rigid, all-or-nothing approach to a more flexible and intuitive routine that better serves my life today.
I also discuss the importance of having a deeper foundation that goes beyond external practices. What happens when life throws you a curveball that your morning routine can't fix? I invite you to explore what truly grounds you in those turbulent moments. For me, it's my faith and a constant exploration of my beliefs. I encourage you to ask yourself: what do I believe in that is bigger than me?
Lastly, I’m thrilled to announce the Conscious Investor Growth Summit 2025, happening March 6-9 at the beautiful Coeur d'Alene Resort. This event will be a unique opportunity for deep connection, personal growth, and learning from some of the best minds in investing and personal development.
