In this episode I sit down with Randy Langenderfer, a high-energy grandfather, fractional CFO, and multifamily investor who knows what it means to earn your wins.

 Randy shares how a fire that took out 28 units in his very first GP deal turned into one of the biggest game changers of his career. From nearly crumbling under pressure to doubling investors' capital in just 21 months, he breaks down what it taught him about grit, leadership, and crisis management.

We also touch on the art of communication—especially how generational preferences matter when managing investor relationships—and why knowing your audience is half the battle. 

Randy opens up about overcoming analysis paralysis, the importance of face-to-face connection, and why he believes faith and persistence have been his strongest allies in the game.

💥 This episode is packed with quiet wisdom, honest moments, and a reminder that you don’t have to know it all—you just have to show up and grow up.

In this episode, I sit down with Randy Langenderfer to talk about something that many ambitious minds overlook—you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to win. 

From Andrew Carnegie’s timeless quote to a deeper dive into why modeling proven strategies is not only smart but essential, this conversation uncovers the mindset difference between struggling and scaling.

They touch on why comparing your step 2 to someone else's step 98 can steal your momentum, and how staying focused on fundamentals—especially in real estate—can help you stay in your lane and still go far. 

You’ll also hear how Randy is applying classic wisdom to modern real estate and why simplicity often wins.

This one is for the overthinkers, the early-stage investors, and anyone who feels like they’re behind. Watch the full episode for some grounding truths and mindset shifts that’ll stick with you.

George also discusses his strategy for a $200 million roll-up of property management companies and the practicalities of acquiring and scaling operations in the short-term rental industry. The episode is rich with insights into building a sustainable and profitable real estate business, underpinned by personal development, strategic partnerships, and leveraging experiential amenities.

In this episode, Hutch sits down with George Salas who cracked the code on attracting heavy-hitting fund managers and capital raisers—and it’s not what you think. It’s not just about showing off your track record. It’s about creating better economics for your partners than they could get on their own. 💼📊

We’re talking share class structures, aligned incentives, and why giving fund managers room to win with you actually opens the door to bigger deals.

 This convo isn’t just for capital raisers—it’s for anyone who wants to build smarter partnerships and attract aligned operators. If you’ve ever asked:

“Why would someone bring their investors to me?”

 …this one’s for you. 👂

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.
