In business, choose a partner like you would choose a spouse or life partner. Just like marriage, any business partnership takes a great deal of awareness and communication. Today, Erik Cabral speaks with Eric Nelson, CEO and founder of Wild Oak Capital and host of The Real Estate Mindset Podcast, as they talk about the pros and cons of partnership, and the makings of a great partnership.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[02:30] Finding the Right Partners

You don’t have to do everything on your own. Find someone who has the skill sets that match what you need so you can help each other. Trust and communication are also very important attributes of a successful partnership. Start with a baseline by figuring out if both of you are on the same page.

[07:59] The Keys to a Successful Partnership

Pros

1. There's way less on your shoulders if they're a good partner.

2. Putting your heads together is way more powerful than just one or the other.

3. You get both of your groups together so you’re able to form a tribe.

Cons

1. The clash of personalities (if you’re not good at communication)

2. Struggles - so be prepared for frustrations ahead of time.

3. Oftentimes, partnering with a family member is a recipe for disaster. To avoid this, there has to be a clear separation between your roles and you have to set clear boundaries.

[33:05] The Power of Leveraging Other People’s Experiences

The podcasts you listen to or the books you read may not be relevant to you at that moment. But as you keep information in your storage, you can apply it at some point.

Do you know how kids actually spell love? It’s not L-O-V-E, but T-I-M-E. Imagine this: the moment your child is born, you’ve only got 18 summers with them. 18 summers – that’s all you’ve got so you better do it right!

In today’s episode, Erik Cabral chats with Kyle Jones, entrepreneur, multifamily investor, co-founder of TruePoint Capital, and host of the “Investing with Purpose” podcast. Learn how to live your life with intentionality to create the success that you want for your kids and future generations.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[19:38] Prioritizing Your Family

Not only think of your kids but the multiple generations beyond them. That’s why you have to teach your kids the raw skills and the ability to provide for their families so they won’t have to worry about financial stress. Money doesn't solve everything, but it gives you freedom and time.

[23:06] The Importance of Creating Structure in Your Kids’ Lives

Creating structure and boundaries is important. Giving your kids full availability to all those social media platforms creates more issues than giving them a new pair of Jordans every school year.

[29:30] Living with Intentionality

Live life by design instead of life by default. We have to be very intentional with prioritizing our families and taking care of the next generation. And if we're not engaged, it will set the kids and generation coming into this world for catastrophic failure.

As a parent or an educator, one of the best things you can do is to equip the kids with a roadmap to earlier financial independence. In this conversation, Erik Cabral speaks with Dan Sheeks, about his passion for helping Gen Z or Zoomers live their best lives. A high school business and marketing teacher in Denver, Colorado for 18 years, Dan is the founder of SheeksFreaks LLC where he teaches teenagers early financial freedom strategies.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[10:36] The Systemic Challenge

Having a one-semester health class is a requirement for high school graduation. It should be because we make health decisions every day. We also make money decisions every day – how come personal finance is not a requirement in schools?

[20:05] Early Financial Freedom

If you want to work till you're 65, that's great. But it's nice to have the option of not having to do that. Work can make you happy. But having the option to spend the time doing what you want when you want is true freedom.

Being a doctor is  perhaps  the most respected profession in the world. But all that glamour also comes with mountainous student loan debt and the daily battles with insurance companies. The truth is a lot of doctors are living paycheck to paycheck – and the same is true for many entrepreneurs. If you don’t know how to sell yourself and your talents, you will be sold!

In today’s episode, Erik Cabral and Dr. Keith Johnson discuss the business of medicine. Not only a leading expert in the field of orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and joint replacement, Keith empowers entrepreneurs to live a life of abundance and financial freedom.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[10:30] A Look Into Medicine as a Business Standpoint

Doctors are taught not to think about money because it’s unethical. Sadly, with insurance, for example, they’re not paid to actually do the medical procedure, but they’re paid to code the procedure and dictate and submit it properly. There is an utter lack of education in the business of medicine.

[29:14] Sell or Be Sold

If you don't learn how to sell yourself and sell your own talents, someone else will sell them for you. You will be sold. And in the case of doctors, you're sold by the hospital or the insurance industry. And if you don't learn how to sell yourself and your talents, your talents will be sold and someone else will gain the vast majority of benefits from them.

If you have a LinkedIn profile and you’re not really finding value in it, then you’re not doing it right! LinkedIn is arguably the most powerful platform for people to connect and forge business relationships in the right way.

Join today’s conversation as Erik Cabral speaks with Donna Serdula, founder and president of Vision Board Media, a professional branding company that helps you and companies tell their unique stories on LinkedIn. Donna shares some LinkedIn gems to help you optimize your LinkedIn profile and make it a valuable tool in building your brand.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[08:28] How to Expand Your Presence on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a place to forge your network and promote yourself but also talk about other things.

[20:51] Ways to Level Up Your LinkedIn Profile

Use a beautiful headshot. Get a professional photographer if you have to.  Avoid selfie photos with poor image quality. Avoid putting your logo or your phone number in your background image. Use whatever feels authentic to you and what’s going to get your message across appropriately.

[25:13] Mobile App vs. Desktop

Try things using your LinkedIn mobile app. There are a lot of things you can do with the mobile app that you can’t do on your desktop, such as uploading a profile video where you can give a description of yourself and what you do.

How do you get to the next level when you lack the capital, the skills, and the network? In today’s conversation, Erik Cabral speaks with David Vernich, a commercial lender with more than three decades of experience in the banking industry. David shares some real estate investing strategies to get you from middle class to millionaire.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[09:29] How to Raise Capital for Deals Without Putting In Your Money

If you don’t have the capital to do deals, leverage your network and use their ability to borrow money to take down the house and renovate it. If you have contacts in the banking industry, use that to help them put up a permanent loan on the property. And so, the investor essentially just puts up the capital while you do the rest of the work. You get a percentage of the property without having to put any personal money into it. The key is building that network and a community that trusts you.

[15:31] How to Start Building a Network

Everyone has a network even if they might not think of it as a network. But you are talking to people all day long and it's not hard for them to give you an opening. Whether it’s about inflation, the stock market, or anything that has to do with money and finances or their future, you can always find a topic that opens up a conversation and opportunity.

[27:13] The Avenue to a Passive Income

When you invest or put your own capital and hard work into something try to minimize the amount of time you have to spend or it defeats the purpose of trying to have passive income. Secondly, it has to be scalable, which means you could make more money by just doing more of what's working.

From playing poker to investing in real estate, this guy pretty much figured out how to play this game of life according to his own terms. Listen in as Erik Cabral chats with Pasha Esfandiary about his journey from the poker world to the real estate investing world. As the co-founder and CEO of Evoke Capital, Pasha has found a niche within the mobile home park niche and is also working in housing programs to help vulnerable communities.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[17:11] The Dark Side of Poker

The dark side of poker is that typically, people who come into the poker world have a tendency and an affliction towards an addictive personality. That usually plays out in other aspects of their life, whether that's table games, Blackjack, Roulette, all the things, or propensity to do drugs, alcohol, etc.

[30:03] Finding Your Cash Flow  in Mobile Home Parks

Mobile home parks are the only asset class where the supply is dwindling and the demand is increasing. The reason Pasha went to mobile home parks is once you have set everything up mobile home parks can be a pure cashflow machine.

[35:37] The Power of Resilience

Keep making the right decision that's going to afford you a better life 10 years from now, or a better business 10 years from now, and don't ever deviate from who you are in business. Keep making that right decision over and over and compound it over time, and it will bring you wild success.

Dealing with chronic inflammation issues? Whether you’re dealing with gut problems or allergies, that inflammation could just be the tip of the iceberg. You may be dealing with something deeper than that – unresolved trauma.

In today’s episode, Erik Cabral speaks with Dr. Don Wood, the CEO of Inspired Performance Institute and creator of The Inspired Performance Program (TIPP) as they discuss why inflammation happens, its correlation to trauma, and how you can heal both your mind and body so you can reach higher performance.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[04:04] Understanding the Correlation Between Autoimmune Issues and Trauma

The purpose of inflammation is to serve as a protection and a cell danger response. The cells become inflamed and hardened to protect them from any foreign pathogens or invaders. If your mind believes that there's a threat to you, it will then activate your fight or flight response and it creates inflammation. If that continues to loop, the inflammation stays on when it's not supposed to.

[16:16] Healing Through TIPP

When we get into stress mode, we're not very efficient. That's why traditional therapy takes so long because you get into a highly activated state. Whereas during the TIPP session, the mind is very relaxed and focused.

[34:00] Creating Safety in Your Home

Our mind doesn't distinguish between a lion and a tiger, and a father that's screaming and yelling. The response between the lion and tiger and the father is identical. And so, for parents, it's so important to create that sense of safety in your home.

Be the brand that attracts people so you won’t have to go out there cold-calling, cold-emailing, and knocking on doors. In today’s episode, Erik Cabral and Lacey Newman dive deep into how you can create a brand so much so that people will come after you. (It’s a perfect strategy for introverts!) Lacey is the co-founder of Heard Newman Real Estate which specializes in selling luxury homes in the Greater Nashville Area.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[03:58] The Power of Collaboration

When you align yourself with the right people, one plus one can equal so much more than two. You’re able to do so much more collectively by spending time within your own strengths, areas of passion, and skill sets, than any of you would have been able to do individually.

[17:25] Creating a Brand That Attracts

Figure out how you can differentiate yourself through your brand so that you’re attracting the right kind of people. Attract, rather than sell. Present as much value on the front end before even asking somebody to make a commitment with you.

[31:55] Why Communication is Critical

Technology makes things much easier but it also takes away so much from communication. Negotiating deals should not be only dependent on technology. You have to go back to the basics of one-on-one interpersonal communication.

When you’re making decisions whether in business or in life, how do you know it’s born out of your heart and soul, and not of your ego? In today’s episode, Erik Cabral and Matt O’Neill dive into a discussion about listening to your heart, not your ego – and taking action.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[07:17] Ego vs. Soul: Who’s Talking to You?

When you think of something and your heart just opens up wide, and you feel joyful and loving, then you’re guided by your heart. Whether you want a billion dollars more in sales or you want the biggest boat or a private plane, you can feel your heart close just a little bit when you’re setting goals that are egocentric.

[11:10] Following the Nudge of the Universe

When you follow that nudge from the universe and decide to take action upon it, synchronicities start to happen. When you don't listen to God's whispers, they become shouts. And if you just take time to listen to that voice, your life ends up being blessed.

[18:49] Embracing the F Word

The thing that stops us from all of our dreams is worrying about what other people would think, or worried about if something isn't successful, then that would prove you’re not worth anything. But what are you really worried about? What's the worst that can happen?
