This episode is a masterclass in thinking BIGGER. Hutch and George Salas sit down to talk strategy around two massive wealth-building goals: one, creating an experiential short-term rental portfolio with strong, steady NOI—and two, building a service-based business that supports those properties and stands on its own.

The kicker? Both are being built to exit—but independently. 🎯

You’ll hear about how to reverse engineer for institutional buyers, why recession-resistant markets matter, and what makes an asset actually attractive when it’s time to sell. This one’s not just about real estate… it’s about clarity, intention, and setting your business up to be acquired.

📊 If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to move from owner-operator to visionary founder—this is it.

In this deep and honest episode, Hutch dives into the mindset behind dreaming big—but also dreaming smart. Inspired by a Dave Chappelle quote about powerful dreamers always winning, this convo breaks down something that rarely gets talked about: knowing when you’re walking in your own dream vs. just helping others build theirs.

 Especially in capital raising and business, it’s easy to get caught chasing someone else’s vision without realizing your own dream has taken a backseat. This isn’t just about real estate—it’s about clarity, ambition, and creating win-win momentum that honors your vision while supporting others.

 Tune in to hear a fresh take on purpose-driven success, and why rising tides only lift your boat if you know where you’re sailing.

In this high-energy episode, Hutch sits down with George Salas to talk about living with intention, leading with vision, and building a business and life that actually supports your health, family, and freedom. From spontaneous asset-management weekends in short-term rentals to structuring $15M+ portfolios, George opens up about the mindset and momentum behind his success.

 They dive into personal growth, biohacking, the real cost of poor communication, and why overcommunicating with clarity and energy is a power move most people overlook. And of course, they drop golden nuggets on fund structuring, the role of community like RaiseMasters, and how big rooms can shift your thinking—fast.

🎯 Oh—and yes, they talk about AI, living to 123, and Hutch’s Own More of America Summit (you’ll want to catch that part too).

Ever walk into a room and immediately feel like you need to level up?

In this episode, I reflect on what it’s like to be surrounded by top-tier thinkers, leaders, and investors—and how just being in that space shifts your mindset. From a small moment with Rob Beardsley (and a signature hat 👀), to the energy of walking into One World Trade, I share how proximity to excellence naturally raises your own standards.

This isn’t about appearance. It’s about presence.

 It’s about how high-quality rooms challenge you to speak better, think sharper, and show up stronger.

If you’ve ever second-guessed how you present yourself—or wondered if you're ready to be in “those rooms”, this episode is for you.

Hear the full episode to hear the mindset shift that happened at One World Trade and why leveling up doesn’t always start with knowledge—it starts with how you walk in.

Taxes and insurance—the two things everyone says you can’t control in real estate. But what if that’s not totally true?

In this episode, Sam Morris and I flip the script on how smart asset management can actually influence these so-called “uncontrollables.” From understanding what insurance companies are really looking for to securing a 99-year tax abatement, I also share the kind of next-level thinking most operators completely overlook.

It’s not just about cutting reno costs or running the numbers—it's about seeing the whole board and making strategic moves that protect your bottom line long-term.

Watch the full episode to catch these golden nuggets from Sam Morris—you’ll never look at asset management the same way again.

Not every investor conversation goes as planned. And that’s okay.

In this episode, Sam Morris and I talk about the power of being honest when you don’t have all the answers—and why that can actually build more trust than pretending you do. The guest shares a story of getting stumped by a more experienced investor and how saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out,” led to growth, credibility, and a better relationship.

We also get real about the real keys to success. It’s not just strategy—it’s who’s in your corner. The most business-changing decision? Marrying the right partner. 22 years in, four teenagers, and still showing up strong.

This episode is full of reminders that leadership isn’t about being flawless—it’s about being human, being real, and staying in the game. Because if you're not in the game... you can't win.

This one hits a little deeper than the usual talk about deals.

In this episode, Sam Morris and I explore how one opportunity can change everything—especially when you're young, green, and willing to listen. The guest shares how mentorship from a bank chairman (before he even knew what that meant) completely shifted the course of his career. Why? Because he was coachable.

He also opens up about what matters most when it comes to communicating with investors: just tell the truth. If it's good, say it's good. If it's not, own it, explain why, and show the plan forward. That kind of honesty builds more than deals—it builds trust.

And outside the boardroom? It’s all about hunting, fishing, golfing with family, and soaking in the moments that matter.

It’s a real one—leadership, mindset, a little real estate, and a whole lot of wisdom.

“If you confuse, you lose.” And that goes for both life and investing.

In this episode, Sam Morris and I get into why clarity is everything—especially when it comes to educating investors and making sound decisions. The guest shares powerful insight on what happens when people feel unsure: they back out. Not because the deal is bad, but because confusion kills confidence.

We also unpack the real talk around multifamily investments—yes, they come with upside, but they also come with trade-offs like limited liquidity. And that’s not a bad thing... as long as you’re clear about what you’re getting into.

Transparency, clarity, and telling it like it is—that’s what builds trust and long-term results.
