The Josiah Smelser Show

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Murray, a best-selling author and real estate mogul who owns over $1 billion in commercial real estate. With 30 years of brutally honest business advice packed into 70 minutes, Brian shares his incredible journey—from building a real estate empire to living a simple life on his farm, rescuing horses, and pursuing adventure racing. We dive deep into the lessons he's learned, the hard truths no one talks about, and the mindset it takes to succeed in both business and life. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or just love a great story, this interview is a must watch!

Josiah was recently a guest on the A Better Life show in Hawaii with Brandon Turner and Cam Cathcart and this is that episode.

The topics on this episode include:

I hope this episode impacts you in a meaningful way. I love and appreciate each person who listen to this. Know that you matter and God has a plan for you and loves you.

In this episode, Josiah sits down with Ryan Pineda, the real estate investor and entrepreneur behind The Wealthy Way, to delve into his journey from professional baseball to couch flipping to becoming a successful real estate investor and entrepreneur. Ryan shares his insights on building his businesses, the importance of focus and determination, and the core principles that drive his Wealthy Way philosophy. We discuss his strategies for building wealth, the challenges he faced along the way, and how he integrates faith and family into his business ventures. Join us for an inspiring conversation that highlights the intersection of ambition, faith, and the pursuit of a purpose-driven life.

Today Josiah chats with Matt Porcaro of the 203k Way and gets all the details on the 203k loan and how it works. Josiah walks through all the most asked questions on the 203k loan process and Matt discusses how this loan can provide funds for both acquiring and renovating the property. This is a creative option for house hacking your way to big equity in your primary residence and is a great option to add to your toolbelt in your financial independence journey.
