In Episode 33 of Wholesaling Blueprint, Tez Arbertha and Heriberto Pando sit down with the dynamic and charismatic Pat Hilton, a talented emcee and entertainer known for his unique style and inspiring journey.

Broadcasting from Pat’s home in Texas, the episode begins with Tez recalling their first meeting at the All-In Event in Dallas, where Pat delivered an electrifying performance as the event’s emcee for Carlos Reyes. Now, Pat dives deep into his backstory, sharing how his journey in music and entertainment began in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri—a "small town with a big heart."

Growing up, Pat's passion for music was ignited by his father’s incredible record collection, filled with soul classics from Earth, Wind & Fire and The O'Jays, alongside rock legends like Eric Clapton, Santana, and The Rolling Stones. But his love for music took root in grade school, where he chose band class over computer class—partly because the girls were in band class and partly because the trumpet, with its three buttons, seemed deceptively simple. Little did he know, the trumpet would become his gateway to performing iconic themes like Star Wars, Rocky, and Back to the Future, which fueled his love for music and performing.

A pivotal figure in Pat's journey was his teacher, Mr. Varley, who recognized his talent and encouraged his creativity. While Pat admits he struggled with other subjects, music gave him the outlet to shine. "Mr. Varley let me learn and play these superhero themes instead of sticking to the standard stuff like 'Hot Cross Buns,'" Pat recalls. This encouragement helped him discover his love for entertaining and performing, which would later define his career.

Pat’s story is a testament to the power of nurturing creativity and pursuing passions relentlessly. From humble beginnings in St. Louis to captivating audiences on grand stages, Pat’s journey is as inspiring as it is entertaining.

Earon recounts a pivotal moment in his life when his sales manager abruptly terminated him, refusing to let him train his replacement or pay his outstanding commissions. "He told me to give him my keys right there, and I was like, 'Bro, I needed that 15K,'" Earon recalls. Shortly after, at a Valero gas station, he discovered his bank account was overdrawn. That moment, captured in a screenshot he keeps to this day, became a powerful motivator. 📉🚗

Despite the hardship, Earon pushed forward. His breakthrough came the following week with a $14,000 wholesale deal that changed everything. "Between that overdraft and that deal, I was literally calculating where I could drive so I wouldn't run out of gas," he says. That success set off a streak—within 90 days, he closed deals worth $28,000 and $30,000, earning more money in a short period than he had ever made before. 💸

By the end of his first full year in wholesaling, Earon had generated $500,000 in assignment fees, completely transforming his life. His story underscores the power of resilience, determination, and leveraging moments of struggle to fuel success. 🏆

Joining from Houston, Texas, is CJ Silvas, a dynamic real estate entrepreneur and former CPA. CJ shares his incredible journey of transitioning from the corporate world to real estate wholesaling, offering valuable lessons on perseverance, faith, and navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. 🌟🏡

CJ opens up about his background, starting as a CPA with an undergrad in finance and a master's in accounting. Despite reaching milestones and climbing the corporate ladder, he found himself unfulfilled. "You’ve got to be real selective on what wall you pin your ladder up against," he reflects, explaining how reaching the top didn’t bring him the happiness he sought. That realization led him to wholesaling, a "silly little notion" at the time, but one that completely changed his outlook on making money. 📈

He shares how his first deal was a modest $1,500, which felt like a million dollars because it proved that wholesaling worked. A second deal, worth $10,000, followed, and CJ decided to take the leap, quitting his comfortable corporate job. However, he was quickly humbled after losing $25,000 on a flip and enduring months without any deals. 💸

CJ talks candidly about hitting rock bottom and relying on faith to get through tough times. "It's easy to have faith when you're riding high," he says. "But when your feet are against the fire, that’s when true faith kicks in."
