What does it take to go from living in your parents' basement to building an $80 million real estate empire in just seven years? Ben Kall was plowing snow at 2AM when he had his breaking point—watching the property owner sleep while he froze outside doing the work. That single moment of clarity launched a journey that would transform a broke former D1 football coach into a financial freedom case study.

Key Insights:

• The brutal truth about scaling: Ben and his partner managed a $60 million portfolio with just ONE virtual assistant—pure brute force that nearly broke them before they learned to work through people
• The mentor flywheel unlocked: How asking two simple questions ("What's your goal?" and "What's your biggest challenge?") turned strangers into business partners on million-dollar deals
• Why it's easier to make $1M than $100K: The "two-mile principle" that forces you to find completely different vehicles when your goal is far enough away
• Friends and family to 80 investors: How eight initial investors became 80 through referrals alone—no social media, no ads, just delivering on promises

"I was plowing snow at two in the morning and realized the person I'm working for doesn't even know it's snowing. He's getting paid and I'm out here grinding away from my family again. That's when I decided I needed to become an investor." — Ben Kall

Listen now to discover the exact mindset shifts that took Ben from property manager to portfolio owner, and why his first $1.5 million storage deal changed everything.

Hotel investor Gideon Spencer sits down with Brian Luebben on his podcast, Action Academy, for a masterclass on the brutal realities nobody talks about after buying your first business.

Most acquisition advice stops at the deal closing—leaving new owners drowning in operations they never planned for. Brian and hospitality investor Gideon Spencer expose the brutal truth: buying the asset is only 33% of the journey.

In this no-BS breakdown, they reveal the missing phases that separate passive income dreamers from actual wealth builders—plus the four business pillars that determine whether your acquisition prints money or bleeds it.

What You'll Discover:

• The Gap Strategy - Why cloning competitors keeps you average, and how identifying their biggest weakness captures untapped market share instantly
• The $100K Pre-Product Launch - How Brian generated six figures before creating an LLC, bank account, or even finishing his offer (and why this validates everything)
• Profit First Reality Check - The cash flow framework that put a million dollars in Brian's pocket after years of "reinvesting" himself broke
• The One-Three-One Framework - How to train employees to solve problems independently instead of making you the bottleneck

"We did $100,000 in revenue for Action Academy before I had a bank account, a business, an LLC, or even a product." - Brian Luebben

What if the person holding you back from your dream life is the exact version of yourself you're clinging to? Eric Hinman was drowning in the "work hard, play hard" lifestyle of his twenties—overweight, exhausted, and convinced happiness came from bars and buying nice things. Then one decision to hire a personal trainer unlocked a transformation that led him from 200+ pounds and brain fog to becoming an elite endurance athlete and successful angel investor.

In this raw conversation, Eric reveals:

• The "autopilot method" for building unbreakable habits without relying on motivation (spoiler: it's not willpower)
• Why the shiny object syndrome of social media success is keeping you from doing what actually works—and the one question that cuts through the noise
• The exact progression from 30-minute gym sessions to qualifying for Kona: how compounding small wins creates extraordinary results
• The counterintuitive training secret that made him slower before he got faster—and why pushing harder was sabotaging his progress

"I recognized that with triathlon, it's just a grunt work sport, similar to business—if you have the right mentors and execute day in and day out, you can take it really far." - Eric Hinman

What if breaking your back was the best thing that ever happened to your business? When Jordan Malara's skiing accident left him bedridden, it forced him to do the one thing holding him back from massive scale: delegate. Fast forward to today—he's turned his time in the army and his short-term rental expertise into a growing boutique hotel portfolio, including one "dumpster fire" property complete with daily police visits, homeless squatters, and weed plants growing in the alleyway.

In this high-energy conversation, you'll discover:

• The creative financing blueprint that let Jordan acquire hotels with just 10-15% down (using SBA loans + seller financing)
• How he added 20% revenue in 30 days using only dynamic pricing—before even closing on the property
• Why the biggest hotel deals often look like disasters on the surface (and how to spot hidden gold)
• The mindset shift that transforms every business obstacle into an exciting puzzle to solve
• Why surrounding yourself with the right people matters more than talent, capital, or experience

"Life is about who you're becoming through the work—not just the outcome itself." - Jordan Malara

What if the biggest mistake you're making right now is thinking too small? When Adam Goldberg transformed a Sedona bed and breakfast into a million-dollar wedding destination, he discovered something that changed how he views every business decision—and it started with one brutally honest question most entrepreneurs never ask themselves.

In this episode:

• The unconventional SBA strategy that helped Adam acquire prime Sedona real estate before the market exploded 400% (and why his decision NOT to build a restaurant saved his business)
• Why the "who" matters more than the "what"—Adam's framework for choosing mentors, partners, and deciding which rooms you actually belong in before the spaghetti starts falling out of your mouth
• The Stalard Plan revealed: How thinking in 2-500 year timeframes instead of quarterly results completely transforms your approach to wealth, legacy, and what you're actually building

"You can't go any faster than one day at a time. But when you look back and six months have passed, the time is gone. So who do you want to be? Where do you want to go? What does it look like at the end of the game?" — Adam Goldberg

What if losing everything was actually the beginning of your greatest success? When Rod Khleif watched $50 million disappear in the 2008 crash, most would have stayed down.

What you'll discover:

• The "burning desire" goal-setting method that turns dreams into non-negotiable outcomes
• Why your peer group determines your net worth more than your skills or knowledge
• The gratitude technique Rod used to manifest everything he wanted (including that $50M he lost)
• How separating your identity from your "vehicle" makes you virtually unstoppable
• The counterintuitive reason giving back immediately accelerates wealth building

"I wasn't a failure when I lost 50 million dollars. I felt like one for a little bit, but the bottom line is it failed—I didn't fail" - Rod Khleif

What if the fastest way to scale isn't better systems or more capital, but becoming a completely different person? When Colt Moncla took on his first million-dollar roofing job, he had zero idea how to execute it. Today, that "fake it till you make it" mindset has built Cool Roofs into a $20M+ multi-state empire with 70+ sales reps.

In this raw conversation, Colt reveals:

• Why "tour guide leadership" crushes traditional management (and how it created specialists who create specialists)
• The counterintuitive reason he waited 6 years before getting an office—and how this stewardship mindset accelerated growth
• His unique "council of mentors" painting strategy that eliminates emotional business decisions
• The brutal personal shifts required to scale from startup founder to $20M+ CEO
• Why thinking time beats hustle culture: his 45-minute "boredom sessions" that unlock breakthrough solutions
