Do you want to build wealth through successful real estate investing? If you were picking a property to invest in, what would you look for?

Zack Boothe is the Founder of Driving For Dollars Mastery, where he shares his insider secrets to finding massively discounted properties regardless of experience level. Just a few years ago, Zack was a window cleaner. You can still find his window cleaning tutorial videos on YouTube that even landed him on The History Channel. Although he achieved success with his window cleaning business, he always dreamed of being a real estate investor. Taking a leap of faith, he walked away from window cleaning, and within a handful of years, he was making over a million dollars per year from real estate investing.

Zack now has his own company, a successful podcast, and a YouTube channel where he dedicates his time giving back and helping others get started in the competitive game of real estate. Recently on his YouTube channel, he did a 40-Day Real Estate Challenge where the goal was to turn $1,000 into $40,000. Sounds crazy, right? He was wildly successful, making $93,000 and also buying two rental properties with over $100,000 in equity in the process.

Zack built his dream real estate business…and he’s here to show you how you can too.

· $40K in 40 Days Challenge

· Top mistakes to avoid when investing in real estate

· How to find discounted properties

Today’s episode will lay the framework for crafting your own strategic narrative. You’re likely wondering what exactly is a strategic narrative and why do I need one? Enter my guest, Guillaume Wiatr, the Founder of MetaHelm; a consulting firm focused on building strategic narratives for established companies.

As a strategy consultant and leadership coach, he guides CEOs and Founders to align people and accelerate innovation adoption. For Guillaume, traditional business storytelling is dead. Innovation happens when you build a new narrative instead. As he says, "people will pay for a story, but they will die for a narrative." After helping to save a 20M euro venture during the dot-com boom, Guillaume went on a mission to turn every company into a source of inspiration that few can resist.

Since then, he’s been working with startup founders as well as senior executives of companies like Google, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, AIG, L'Oréal, Spencer Stuart, GAP, and the US and French governments. His commitment to education led him to become an instructor and a mentor to young entrepreneurs at the University of Washington, the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, and Emlyon international business school in France. Guillaume also publishes daily insights in his newsletter–The Next Narrative–where you can find a canvas he designed to get you started with your strategic narrative.

Highlights of the episode:

· The BIG difference between a story and a narrative

· How to frontload value creation in your life & business

· Having vulnerability as a leader is a strength

· The path to success? It’s not a solo journey!

· Writing a 1-year letter to yourself

Quote of the episode:

· “Machines count words, humans count on words.” – Guillaume Wiatr

Would you like to invest your hard-earned dollars more intelligently? What about building sustainable wealth for your future? You’re in luck because my guest today, Aryeh Sheinbein, is known as The Wealth Architect. In fact, his name is a perfect metaphor for his track record in financial intelligence; the Hebrew word (aryé) means “lion.” He is every bit a lion for those he works with: passionate, courageous, protective, and willing to fight for the valuable assets his clients entrust him with.

Aryeh’s bread and butter is helping successful business owners and entrepreneurs invest their money intelligently, allowing their wealth to accumulate so they can stay focused on what truly matters—their business and mission. He’s spent his entire career sharpening his operational experience with investments and valuing businesses, having worked with top private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, investment managers, and banks, as well as a wealth of success in the eCommerce and Amazon selling spaces. Aryeh is particularly skilled in managing large, complex projects and teams—a credit to his excellent executive leadership skills rooted in finance, business strategy, marketing, and operations.

When he’s not sculpting the financial futures of his clients, he hosts the iTunes Top 100-ranked Inside the Lion’s Den podcast, a show that explores the leadership skills, financial acumen, and operational improvements required for sustained entrepreneurial and financial success.
