Think you have to quit your job to start investing? Not even close.

In this episode, we break down how full-time professionals are tapping into syndications—like our $14M self-storage deal—with as little as $50K. 

Even if you're not swinging hammers or chasing deals, your capital can still be working overtime. 🧠📈

💡 We also talk about how savvy investors are pairing hard money leverage with syndication investing. Borrow 90–95% on a flip, then deploy your own cash into passive opportunities that aim to double your return in 3–5 years.

It’s not about choosing one lane. It’s about stacking smart plays.

 ✅ Steady job

 ✅ Solid income

 ✅ Strategic capital deployment

That’s how you move from working for income… to letting income work for you.

Most people think there's only one way to fund a deal: go to the bank and pray they like your tax returns.

But that’s just one bucket.

In this episode, we unpack three types of lending that every real estate investor (and honestly, every entrepreneur) should understand—because it's not just about the rates... it's about control, relationships, and how fast you can move.

💡 You'll hear how institutional, hard money, and private lending differ—and why private capital built on trust might be the most underrated superpower in business.

This isn't just a real estate conversation. It's a lesson in leadership, credibility, and resourcefulness. Because when the banks say no, how do you still say yes to opportunity?

👉 Which lending path matches your mindset?

Time to shift gears 🎙️🔥

In this Focus Round, we got a fast-paced peek into Brandon Rickman beyond the spreadsheets and site plans. 

From coaching high school basketball to inshore fishing with his son, Brandon shares what keeps him balanced while building big.

He also drops:

 ✅ His most unexpected deal that turned into a game-changer

 ✅ Why trust > returns when it comes to investor relationships

 ✅ What schools should’ve taught us about leverage

 ✅ And the two real forces behind his growth—faith and family

No fluff. Just real answers from a guy who's seen it all—and still shows up with integrity.

We kicked things off with a mindset gem: “Don’t fall in love with the property.” 🧠💥

In this segment, Brandon Rickman reminds us that real estate is a product, not a passion project. Too many investors get stuck chasing “the one” and end up compromising their standards—or worse, losing money.

When you treat investing like a business (not a breakup), the results speak for themselves. No deal is the last deal. And no return is worth your peace of mind. 💼

This one's a gut check for anyone who’s ever gotten a little too attached to a “perfect” property.

In this episode, Toby Potter calls it out:

There are hundreds of thousands of people who want to invest in real estate—without ever touching drywall or dealing with tenants. 😅

You’ve got the W-2 job.

Maybe a 401(k), maybe an IRA.

But that retirement finish line? Still feels 20 years away… even after 20 years of grinding. 🧠

Toby breaks down how investors are using private equity funds to tap into real estate without “being in” real estate. Passive capital. Monthly dividends. Compound growth.

One investor started with $500K. Today? That account’s cleared $2M—just by staying in and letting time + the right team do the work.

This episode is a reminder: you don’t need to swing hammers to build wealth. 🛠️➡️📈

In this episode, Toby Potter keeps it real:

“I pulled all my money out of Wall Street 90 days ago.” 💬

Why? Too volatile. Too inconsistent.

While the market gave him 8–10%, his real estate deals? 24–30%—consistently. 📈

Owning over 300+ doors and still actively investing, Toby breaks down how cash flow and appreciation create a compounding effect you’ll never find in the stock market. You don’t have to flip houses or swing hammers to earn this way. You can be a silent partner, an LP, and still let your capital grow.

This episode is a blunt look at why real estate still beats Wall Street—for those who know how to play it right. 🧠

In this episode, Toby talks about why long-term wealth builders—from Carnegie to Zuckerberg—trust real estate more than tech trends. And we go deeper than just money. This isn’t about being a lender for the sake of deals. It’s about partnership, mentorship, and actually setting investors up to win.

Because if you fail on deal #1, there is no deal #2.

 The right team makes sure you're not just funded… but profitable. 💼✅

For Toby Potter, fun isn’t a weekend hobby.

It’s getting on stage to change lives—and he means that literally. 👏

In this episode, Hutch runs Toby through a quick-fire FOCUS round (Fun, Opportunity, Communication, Understanding, Success)… and what unfolds is part mindset, part mission.

✅ What Toby does for fun? Speak, teach, impact.

✅ A last-minute speaking gig that became a career-defining moment.

✅ Why transparency isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the only way partnerships work.

✅ And the belief that spiritual, mental, and physical discipline is the foundation for getting through any storm—COVID, crashes, or chaos.

This one's about leadership that lasts. And why your success? It’s not random. It’s built. 💪

You’ve heard all the quotes. Read all the books. Maybe even taken the courses. But none of it moves the needle until you move.

In this episode, Hutch sits down with Toby Potter who’s been through it all—1994 startup grind, the 2008 crash, the 2015 rebuild, and even the COVID chaos. But his success didn’t come from luck or timing. It came from one mindset:

 👉 “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”

This one belief became the compass for his entire journey—business, real estate, life, and leadership. And it’s not about grinding harder... it’s about owning your path.

A great listen if you’re in a season of transition, rebuilding, or just tired of waiting for something outside of you to change.
