What’s scarier, failing or never finding out what you’re truly capable of?
 

In this episode, we open up about one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made: walking away from comfort and certainty to go all-in on ourselves. We talk about the mental battles that come with leaving a secure job, the pressure of being the firstborn, and the internal war between fear and ambition that so many entrepreneurs face.

We also break down the moment Cory decided to bet on this business full-time, what led up to it, what it felt like to burn the boats, and why the risk was worth it. This conversation is raw, personal, and packed with the lessons we’ve learned about identity, focus, and the cost of staying stuck in something that no longer aligns with your future.

If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s time to leave the thing that’s keeping you small, we made this episode for you. The life you want is on the other side of the decision you’re afraid to make.

What if the most profitable play in real estate isn’t houses at all?

In this episode, we sit down with Clay Hepler, an investor who’s quietly built a seven-figure land flipping business while most people are still chasing traditional real estate deals. Clay breaks down why land is one of the most underrated wealth-building vehicles in 2025—and how you can start taking advantage of it.

We dive into creative exit strategies, how to find off-market land deals, and what makes land such a powerful (yet often overlooked) asset class. Clay also shares what he’s learned about marketing, scaling a lean team, working with family, and building a brand in the real estate space through his show, The Ground Game Podcast.

If you're looking for a strategy with lower competition, higher margins, and the flexibility to fit your lifestyle, this episode will open your eyes to a whole new world of real estate investing.

What if you could make more money flipping dirt than flipping houses?

In this episode, we sit down with Brian Desmarais, a military veteran who walked away from his W2 job and built a million-dollar land flipping business in just 18 months. He breaks down the exact land deal that netted him $400,000 in profit, and how he and his wife are scaling faster (with less stress) than most house flippers ever will.

We dive deep into how Brian finds high-profit deals no one else is looking at, how text message marketing became his unfair advantage, and why land flipping is one of the most overlooked wealth-building strategies in real estate today. He also shares how mentorship, community, and a willingness to bet on himself changed the trajectory of his life.

If you’ve been searching for a strategy that builds both cash and freedom, this episode will show you what's possible. Most people think real estate is all about houses, but the biggest profits might actually be hiding in the dirt.

Most investors think long-term rentals or short-term Airbnb stays are the only ways to profit in real estate. But what if there was a massive, untapped opportunity that combines the best of both worlds?

In this episode, we sit down with Gary and Steve Brown, the powerhouse duo behind Furnished Quarters—one of the largest corporate housing companies in the world. They reveal how they transitioned from small-scale real estate investors to dominating the multi-billion-dollar corporate housing industry—and how you can apply the same strategies to build consistent, high-income rental properties.

We dive into how they scaled their business, hired the right talent, and navigated financial challenges—including how they survived COVID-19 when travel demand collapsed. They also share why relationships and networking are the ultimate cheat codes in business and how understanding market demand can give you a serious competitive edge.

If you’re looking for a real estate strategy that offers high returns without the headaches of traditional rentals, this episode is a must-listen.

Most entrepreneurs believe success is about making more money and growing a bigger audience—but what if that’s actually holding you back?

In this episode, we sit down with Cole Ruud-Johnson, a real estate entrepreneur who discovered that real success isn’t about chasing vanity metrics—it’s about taking strategic risks, building relationships, and creating a business that aligns with your lifestyle and values.

Cole shares how one bold risk at just 20 years old landed him in a room with some of the biggest names in real estate—Brandon Turner, Ryan Pineda, and James Dainard. Instead of grinding alone, he was surrounded by the industry’s top players, who took him under their wing and helped amplify his success faster than he ever imagined.

We also dive into his first big deal that changed everything, why focusing on product over audience is the key to real wealth, and the hidden dangers of tying your identity to your business. Plus, he reveals why the most successful people in the world take the biggest risks—and how you can too.

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and want to build a business that actually gives you freedom, not just another job, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we break down how building a personal brand on social media and launching a podcast transformed our real estate business, helping us scale from 8 to 80 rental units in record time.

Most people assume a dream job like hosting ESPN’s SportsCenter means you’ve made it financially, but Gary knows better. While building his career in sports media, he realized that a high paycheck doesn’t equal financial freedom. That’s why, during the pandemic, he turned to real estate as his long-term wealth strategy.

In this episode, we dive deep into Gary’s journey from sports anchor to real estate investor, including how he turned $20,000 into 9 rental properties in under two years—all while keeping up with the demands of a national television career. He shares the lessons learned from early tenant struggles, the power of hands-on investing, and why he believes real estate is the ultimate wealth-building tool.

We also talk about personal branding, the mindset required to succeed in both sports media and investing, and how he balances two high-performance careers at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered whether real estate is worth the effort, this episode proves that even those with elite careers still bet on real estate for financial security.
