What’s Kenner French Thinking!

R. Kenner French introduced a product called AI Credit Max!, designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners unlock government tax credits—both federal and state—for innovation and AI-driven initiatives. He explained that many businesses already using artificial intelligence tools (such as ChatGPT) or pushing technological innovation may unknowingly qualify for significant tax credits. The goal of the product is simple: put money back into entrepreneurs’ pockets for work they’re already doing. VastSolutionsGroup.com, which has been around since 1969, is leveraging its long history in tax, finance, and AI to support this new launch.

Dhaval Patel, a digital marketing expert, was invited to brainstorm strategies in real time. He emphasized that AI Credit Max is a B2B service, so the priority should be lead generation. To achieve this, he recommended optimizing the website for email collection, setting up strong drip campaigns, and running targeted LinkedIn and Facebook ad campaigns. Beyond ads, Patel stressed the importance of content marketing, SEO/AEO strategies, and FAQs to rank on search engines and AI-powered platforms. He highlighted testing as a central practice—whether it’s ad creatives, demographics, or messaging—since data-driven iteration is key to lowering costs and boosting conversions.

Dhaval also advised tapping into CPA networks, as accountants can’t always handle R&D tax credits but could refer clients. Locally, Patel recommended engaging Bainbridge Island and Seattle publications, leveraging the region’s strong tech community, and even targeting local innovators from Microsoft and Google backgrounds who might qualify for credits.

A significant portion of the discussion revolved around backlinks—links from authoritative sites that increase credibility and traffic. They also discussed tools like Yext and alternatives such as direct PR strategies and press releases. Dhaval highlighted the importance of tracking ROI with attribution models and UTM codes to measure which campaigns or influencers truly deliver results. Both agreed that testing and transparency in campaigns are crucial.

Toward the end, Dhaval suggested podcasts and YouTube videos as powerful platforms to showcase real client experiences with AI Credit Max. Long-form videos could highlight case studies, while shorter clips could hook new audiences. Patel also stressed the importance of AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)—crafting website content around FAQs and user questions so AI-driven tools like ChatGPT or Gemini will surface VastSolutionsGroup.com in answers. Together, they concluded that combining local outreach, influencer evangelism, backlinks, and consistent testing will position AI Credit Max for long-term success.

R. Kenner French hosted real estate expert Jay Conner, known as “the Private Money Authority,” to discuss how real estate investors can grow their portfolios without relying on banks. Jay emphasized that private money lending—funding from individuals instead of institutions—has been the single biggest game-changer in his career since 2009. Unlike traditional financing, private money allows investors to fund deals quickly, without credit checks, income verification, or lengthy approval processes.

He shared that private money is not hard money. Instead, it involves creating relationships with individuals willing to lend from their personal funds or retirement accounts. He described how investors can attract funding without asking for it by presenting opportunities, teaching potential lenders, and leading with a “servant’s heart.” Importantly, private money gives the investor control—they set the terms, interest rate, and loan-to-value ratio, flipping the traditional dynamic of banks making the rules.

One of Jay’s key lessons is that investors should secure money first, then pursue deals, avoiding desperation. He outlined his five steps to raising private money: (1) build a list of contacts, (2) use conversation scripts, (3) share educational tools like his “Stress Free Investing” audio, (4) host one-on-one or group presentations, and (5) obtain verbal pledges. He also revealed that through his proprietary data feed, investors can access over 12,000 new private lenders monthly across the U.S.

The advantages of private money are numerous: no origination fees, no appraisals, longer loan terms, 100% funding for purchase and rehab costs, and even the possibility of receiving a big check at closing. Jay stressed that private money can be used not only for rehabs but for any deal where the seller requires full cash. He also explained how private lenders benefit—they earn higher returns than banks, enjoy secured investments backed by real estate, and can often participate tax-free through self-directed IRAs.

He invited listeners to his Private Money Conference, happening October 8–10 in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, offering a steep discount to Kenner’s audience. At the event, attendees will learn his complete system, meet his team, and network with active private lenders. He closed with inspiring success stories of investors who transformed their businesses and lives through private money. For Jay, the message is clear: private money empowers real estate entrepreneurs to scale their portfolios quickly, without begging banks, while offering safe and profitable opportunities for lenders.

Takeaways

• Private money can significantly impact real estate investing careers.

• You can raise private money without asking for it directly.

• Understanding the difference between private and hard money is crucial.

• The mindset shift is essential for attracting private money.

• You can close deals quickly with private money.

• Private money allows for 100% financing on deals.

• Self-directed IRAs can be a source of private money.

• Networking is key to finding private lenders.

• You can have multiple private lenders for a single deal.

• Success stories demonstrate the effectiveness of private money strategies.

Sound Bites

• You are already approved for private money.

• Private money is a one-on-one transaction.

• No credit check for private money.

Beau Turner, founder of Abundant Mines, shared his journey from building a successful real estate portfolio to going all in on Bitcoin mining. While real estate offered strong wealth-building potential, he realized it didn’t ignite his passion long-term. After discovering Bitcoin in 2015 and gaining conviction by 2020, he transitioned into mining because it combined cash flow and tax advantages similar to real estate while aligning with his interest in technology and innovation.

He explained that Bitcoin mining converts energy into digital assets by running specialized computers that secure the network and process transactions. Mining functions like a lottery system, rewarding participants roughly every ten minutes with Bitcoin and transaction fees. For investors, mining not only generates income but also provides tax benefits from depreciating equipment. Turner emphasized that hosting with a reliable partner avoids technical hurdles and maximizes efficiency compared to trying to mine at home.

From a financial perspective, mining equipment typically costs around $10,000 per unit, with monthly operating expenses near $225. At favorable Bitcoin prices, revenues can reach about $500/month per machine, yielding roughly 50% margins. Machines generally last four to six years, and efficiency improvements have slowed, suggesting newer models may remain viable longer. Crucially, Abundant Mines pays returns in Bitcoin while leaving custody to the client, ensuring that investors retain control of their assets.

He also highlighted the risks and opportunities. Investors must be bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term future, as mining revenues depend on its price. Counterparty risk exists if hosting partners are unreliable, but Abundant Mines was founded to solve that very issue. Mining further plays an important role in the energy economy by monetizing wasted or stranded energy and even creating community benefits such as powering greenhouses with excess heat.

Looking ahead, Beau sees Bitcoin and AI as complementary forces in the broader compute economy. He also pointed to tax advantages, including 100% bonus depreciation for mining equipment under current legislation, making mining an attractive way to generate income while reducing taxable liabilities. Ultimately, Beau views mining as not just a wealth-building tool but also an opportunity to participate in the future of finance and energy.

Takeaways

• Beau Turner transitioned from real estate to Bitcoin mining for greater passion and opportunity.

• Bitcoin mining is a way to turn energy into a digital asset, providing cash flow.

• Investing in Bitcoin is essential as it represents a small fraction of global assets.

• Mining serves as an educational tool, helping investors understand the crypto landscape.

• The economics of mining can yield significant returns compared to traditional investments.

• Mining can positively impact local communities through energy efficiency and food production.

• Investors should be cautious about the risks associated with crypto investments.

• Choosing the right partners in mining is crucial for success.

• AI and Bitcoin mining have different load profiles but can complement each other.

• Tax benefits from mining can enhance overall investment strategies.

Sound Bites

• Mining is the best vehicle for education.

• Bitcoin is a counterparty free asset.

• We do a ton of free educational content.

R. Kenner French opened the discussion by asking Daniel Nikic why investors should look beyond U.S. markets. Daniel highlighted globalization’s undeniable impact, from supply chains in Asia to innovation emerging abroad. He pointed out that many successful companies, such as Grammarly, originated outside the U.S. but gained prominence globally. Population size and growing consumer bases in countries like China and India also underscore the importance of considering international markets when building a diversified portfolio.

Kenner emphasized that diversification across global markets helps reduce overall portfolio risk. By allocating assets internationally, investors can balance fluctuations in U.S. markets with opportunities abroad. Daniel acknowledged concerns that foreign companies may feel less tangible to American investors, but he argued that risk is inherent everywhere—even domestically. He stressed the importance of conducting thorough research and being prepared for both gains and losses, much like with high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Daniel shared his journey from growing up in Canada to moving to Croatia, where he worked in market research, consulting, and real estate across Eastern Europe. His work with family offices exposed him to how high-net-worth individuals structure investments across various asset classes. This perspective gave him unique insights into global wealth flows, capital structures, and emerging markets. Today, through his company Core S, Daniel focuses on connecting investors with opportunities across North America, Europe, and beyond.

He also noted Africa’s role in supplying critical commodities such as lithium and uranium. On technology, Daniel and Kenner discussed the growing influence of AI, with Daniel stressing the importance of human oversight and Kenner noting advancements like VastSolutionsGroup’s own AI engine “Einstein.” Both agreed that quantum computing may be the next transformative leap for entrepreneurs and investors.

Daniel described Croatia and Eastern Europe as ripe for investment in tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, and sports, though he noted challenges such as limited access to capital compared to the U.S. He advised U.S. entrepreneurs looking abroad to identify what’s missing domestically and seek those opportunities internationally—whether in commodities, manufacturing, or technology. Kenner closed the episode by underscoring the value of international diversification, encouraging entrepreneurs to explore global opportunities for growth, tax strategy, and risk management.

Takeaways

• Globalization has made international investing essential.

• Diversifying investments can lower overall portfolio risk.

• Traveling can provide valuable insights into global markets.

• There are risks in every investment, domestic or international.

• America remains a strong player in the global market.

• Emerging markets like UAE and Saudi Arabia offer opportunities.

• AI is transforming investment strategies and decision-making.

• Investors should conduct thorough research before entering new markets.

• Croatia is becoming an attractive destination for investors.

• Understanding local cultures and markets is crucial for success.

Sound Bites

• There's risk wherever you invest.

• You have to do your research.

• Look at you, nice, man.

R. Kenner French introduces the importance of asset protection by framing it as a form of risk mitigation. He explains that many people are familiar with the term but often don’t fully understand its value until it’s too late. Without proper planning, decades of accumulated wealth can be wiped out by a single lawsuit. Asset protection strategies, such as the use of LLCs (Limited Liability Companies), serve as a safeguard to keep assets secure and prevent them from being exposed to unnecessary risk.

Kenner emphasizes that LLCs are one of the most practical tools for asset protection. He highlights the concept of “piercing the veil,” noting that a properly structured LLC protects assets within that entity while insulating other holdings. For example, if an individual owns 10 properties, each placed in a separate LLC, a lawsuit against one LLC will not threaten the properties in the others. This creates asset diversification, reducing overall exposure to legal claims. He also distinguishes LLCs from S-corporations and C-corporations, pointing out that while each structure has its use cases, LLCs are often the most flexible and effective for real estate investors and entrepreneurs.

He stresses the importance of comprehensive planning and working with a knowledgeable asset protection attorney. Drawing from the expertise of Bob Bloom and the legacy of Jay Mitten—the “father of asset protection”—Kenner compares effective planning to building a moat around a castle. Just as a moat discourages attackers, a strong legal structure discourages frivolous lawsuits by making it clear that pursuing litigation will be costly and unproductive. Conversely, a poorly designed plan is like a castle with an exposed bridge, inviting legal challenges.

Beyond LLCs, He outlines additional elements of asset protection, including umbrella liability insurance, the use of domestic or foreign trusts, and retirement accounts that may be shielded from lawsuits. A case study he cites demonstrates how proper planning led an attorney to abandon a lawsuit because the defendants’ holdings were well protected.

In conclusion, Kenner urges business owners and real estate investors to take action before problems arise, quoting President Kennedy’s adage: “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” He invites listeners to access resources, including free educational content and the Vast Vault community, and offers a free copy of his book. Asset protection, he stresses, is not just about legal compliance but about securing one’s hard-earned wealth for the future.

Takeaways

• Asset protection is crucial for safeguarding wealth.

• LLCs provide a legal structure for asset protection.

• Proper planning is essential for effective asset protection.

• Liability insurance is a key component of asset protection.

• Regularly review and adjust your asset protection strategies.

• Not all attorneys specialize in asset protection; choose wisely.

• Asset protection plans are becoming more affordable.

• Understanding your risks is vital in asset protection planning.

• A well-structured LLC can limit exposure to lawsuits.

• Consulting with an asset protection specialist is recommended.

Sound Bites

• What is asset protection?

• Garbage in, garbage out.

• You have to look at all your risks.

R. Kenner French interviews PR expert Jeremy Knauff on how press and media can rapidly expand a business. Jeremy’s core thesis: building authority status is one of the highest-leverage moves an entrepreneur can make. Third-party validation from reputable outlets (e.g., Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc.) cuts through skepticism, shortens sales cycles, and positions you as the credible solution. Authority is reinforced by a strong personal brand—each one amplifies the other.

After a severe health crisis left him “invisible” for two years, Jeremy rebuilt from scratch using PR, SEO, and social—reclaiming prominence faster than ever. That firsthand turnaround led him to pivot his agency to focus entirely on PR so he could elevate founders who deliver real value (and drown out hype-driven pretenders). He’s easy to find online (“Jeremy Knauff,” SpartanMedia.com), reflecting the same visibility he creates for clients.

For professionals like real estate agents, Jeremy recommends low-lift credibility builders: accumulate authentic reviews on Google and LinkedIn, and cultivate engaged social profiles via collaboration with adjacent pros (title, mortgage, appraisers). His firm audits a client’s online presence, builds a PR strategy, and actively pitches journalists. Thanks to deep relationships, they can often draft and submit expert quotes on a client’s behalf—fast, accurate, and on-brand—so clients can focus on revenue-generating work.

A marquee case: a once high-flying franchise cratered to ~$350k revenue after online reputation attacks. By positioning the new CEO as an industry authority through sustained PR (features, contributor roles, speaking), revenue rebounded to $8M+ and attracted contracts with DOD, NASA, and major leagues. On press releases, Jeremy’s nuanced view: they work when paired with direct journalist pitching and help surface you in LLMs (ChatGPT, etc.). TV spots (e.g., Fox Business’ Big Money Show) are potent for showcasing personality—if the spokesperson communicates crisply—yielding reusable credibility assets (“as seen on…”).

For businesses not ready for full-service PR, Jeremy launched Spartan Community (community.spartanmedia.com). The throughline of the conversation: PR accelerates trust, authority, and deal flow; combine foundational social proof and smart media strategy, then repurpose wins across channels to compound results.

Takeaways

• Expanding a business can significantly benefit from press exposure.

• Building authority status is crucial for cutting through competition.

• Getting featured in reputable media outlets enhances credibility.

• A strong personal brand is essential for media visibility.

• Public relations can dramatically transform a business's revenue.

• Press releases can still provide ROI when used strategically.

• Follow-up is key to maximizing the impact of press releases.

• TV appearances can enhance personal branding and credibility.

• Innovative tools can help connect trending topics to business strategies.

• Affordable community resources can empower entrepreneurs to learn and grow.

R. Kenner French explains the importance of registered agents for businesses. Many entrepreneurs set up LLCs in other states and don’t even realize they already have a registered agent appointed by their attorney. A registered agent’s role is to accept official legal and government documents—such as lawsuits, tax notices, and state communications—on behalf of a business or sometimes even individuals. This is not the same as handling normal mail.

A key function of a registered agent is being available during business hours to receive official notices. Without one, a business risks missing legal documents, which can result in default judgments and major financial losses. Registered agents ensure that documents are received, logged, and forwarded promptly to business owners, helping to protect them from lawsuits and compliance failures.

Kenner highlights that registered agents provide continuity of service, reinforcing the separation between an individual and their business entity. This separation is crucial for liability protection. While individuals could theoretically serve as their own agent, most businesses employ professional, commercial registered agents like Vast Solutions Group, which maintains offices in all states to handle these duties reliably.

The service is relatively inexpensive—typically ranging from $200 to $500 annually—but it acts as a form of insurance against legal risks. Vast Solutions Group uses its proprietary “Einstein” portal to streamline communication with clients, ensuring that deadlines, compliance requirements, and official documents are handled efficiently. He emphasizes that timely responses from business owners are also critical once documents are forwarded.

Finally, Kenner frames registered agents as part of a larger asset protection strategy. VastSolutionsGroup.com has deep expertise in tax, finance, and asset protection, partnering with top legal professionals in the field. To encourage business owners, He offers a free copy of his book Entrepreneurs Manifesto for those who email the firm. He closes by reaffirming the importance of maintaining a registered agent as a foundational step in protecting and growing a business.

Takeaways

• A registered agent is essential for receiving legal documents.

• Registered agents must be available during business hours.

• Having a registered agent can prevent significant legal issues.

• Registered agents provide continuity of service for businesses.

• It's important to differentiate between normal mail and legal notices.

• Registered agents help in asset protection strategies.

• The cost of a registered agent is relatively low compared to potential losses.

• Technology can enhance the efficiency of registered agent services.

• Business owners must respond timely to communications from their registered agent.

• Employing a registered agent is a necessary annual task for business owners.

Sound Bites

• We take on a lot of that work for you.

• We help all way along the spectrum.

• It's been a pleasure.

R. Kenner French welcomed Jason Hackett, a marketing veteran with two decades of experience in location-based entertainment and a recent stint at McKinsey. Jason shared his journey into entrepreneurship, highlighting his focus on guest experience and customer-first strategies. He emphasized that businesses should shift from “what can I get” to “what can I give,” reminding listeners that the customer ultimately decides the success or failure of any company.

The discussion turned to community building. Jason stressed that communities thrive when value is consistently added, not just extracted. He advised providing practical insights, facilitating meaningful connections among members, and creating peer-to-peer opportunities rather than relying solely on one-way broadcasts. These approaches could spark engagement and build stronger relationships.

On increasing engagement, Jason outlined several tactics: drawing attention with high-profile speakers, hosting interactive AMA sessions on relevant topics (such as AI or tax strategies), and empowering members to share their expertise. He explained that engagement flourishes when communities encourage peer-to-peer exchange rather than being top-down. Kenner agreed, noting that VastSolutionsGroup.com has access to well-known guests and could also leverage internal networking to help members benefit from one another’s expertise.

The conversation then shifted to marketing strategies, especially for real estate professionals. Jason advised agents to view real estate as an enabling function rather than the end goal. On the commercial side, agents should help clients use real estate to accelerate business goals while minimizing costs. For residential, agents should focus on lifestyle and family needs rather than just square footage. He encouraged collaboration among agents in building communities, warning against redundancy but highlighting the benefits of cooperation over competition.

Finally, the pair discussed the evolution from SEO to AEO (Ask Engine Optimization). Jason noted that consumer behavior is shifting from search engines to AI-driven Q&A platforms, making AEO an inevitable evolution. He advised businesses to gradually allocate resources toward AEO while maintaining traditional SEO. Kenner agreed, admitting his company was late to SEO but is now early to AEO. They closed by reflecting on the importance of balancing marketing with product development, the power of social media for authority building, and the increasing value of in-person events for converting attention into long-term relationships.

Takeaways

• Take the 'I' out of the equation; focus on the customer.

• Community engagement should be about adding value.

• Real estate should be viewed as an enabling function.

• Building connections within a community is vital.

• Social media is essential for gaining attention.

• Live events are crucial for converting interest into action.

• Transparency in collaboration fosters trust among agents.

• AEO is the future of digital marketing.

• Business owners should allocate time to learn new marketing strategies.

• Attention is the new currency in business.
