  • From Misery to Millions with Josh Hatter

    Have you ever stayed in a job even though you were miserable? It takes courage to step out of what you have worked so hard for, but the alternative is your soul slowly dying.  Our guest on this episode harnessed that courage to take a chance on himself. 

    Josh Hatter began with a nearly two-decades-long career of nurturing businesses, with a focus on supporting the US Navy. Staying focused on his effort to be something greater, he continued to nurture and grow his business acumen within the corporate environment. In 2005, Josh shifted into real estate using the Federal Reserve's "easy money" policies. By 2012, after renting a room on VRBO, he saw a clear path that would pave the way to exceptional growth and success in real estate investing. He has since excelled in short-term rentals (STRs), turning his original $30k 401k loan into more than $10M.

    Josh is now at the helm of a remarkable and diverse $75M+ management portfolio spanning eight cities in two states and has achieved 100% growth for four straight years.Clients trust Josh and his team at Coastal Vacation Properties (CVP), which made the Inc. 5000 in 2023 to manage and grow their financial projects and maintain a successful real estate business. The award celebrates Josh's expertise, vision, and goal to serve others and shows his dedication to excellence.

    His mission is to help aspiring real estate investors who seek inspiration and education with a long-term plan to build their legacy and wealth.

      • Embrace the Unknown: Conquering Change and Confronting Challenges with Dai Manuel

        Two of the scariest words we can be confronted with are: change and challenge. In this episode we're going to reframe these words so you welcome, instead of reject these realities of life.  I'm joined by Dai Manuel to have an open conversation about how we can say "YES" to change and challenge.

        Dai is a super dad, dating his wife, with a lead-by-example way of living. He’s a contagious personality who is on a mission to positively impact one million role models around the globe to lead a FUN-ctionally healthy life through education, encouragement, and community.

        He is an award-winning digital thought leader and author, Distinguished Toastmaster, TEDx speaker & edutaining keynote speaker, former partner and Chief Operating Officer of a multi-million dollar retail company, and a sought-after lifestyle mentor executive performance coach.

        Dai knows the struggle of the juggle and keeping his health and happiness a priority. He models his work based on the 5 F’s: Fitness, Family, Faith, and Finances with an overarching roof of FUN, built on a rock-solid foundation of Health. Nuggets of wisdom and inspiration to take action to be your best self are guaranteed when you connect with Dai!

        Key Takeaways

        • Each challenge builds on the last, it all adds to our character, our experiences, and ultimately helps shape who we become.

        • The only thing you have to accept to be absolutely certain is that nothing's gonna stay as it is.

        • Control is just an illusion that we buy into to make ourselves feel better, it is a way for us to have some sort of ability to argue with reality.

        • You have the ability to shift your perspective of what that challenge could mean for you. Perhaps if you got out of the way, that challenge might be making a pathway for the next thing to open up.

        • Change happens in an instant, and it takes just one decision. It happens when you decide to do something different than you were doing before.

        • What possibility opens up when you're willing to make that change and welcome change and challenge in your life?

        • People are afraid of change because they get confronted with who they are at the core when it happens.

        • By opening up and developing a healthier relationship with vulnerability, you give permission for other people to also be vulnerable in return.

        • Change and challenge are the aspirational pathways that you must take in order to level up.
