Although some may see that we're currently in the middle of a rocky economy, there are still plenty of opportunities for college graduates to pave their own path. It may seem that the easy thing to do is to get the job at a big corporation, gain experience, and then figure out what's next, but after a few months in a job he really didn't like, Henry Adiletta decided to change direction.
In this episode of Winning Strategies Playboo, Henry joins James to talk about his path to selecting TCU, graduating, and taking the safe job, to then deciding to work in the more hectic world of real estate in a startup.
They discuss why he decided to make the big leap and what some of the challenges, and more importantly, rewards have been by going down the non-traditional route.

Is discovering your why really that important to the success of your business?
On this episode of Winning Strategies Playbook, James Pederson is joined by marketing guru, Harley rider, and 4x guest, Ashtan Moore.
James and Ashtan deep dive into Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" theory and the importance of understanding your "why" for achieving personal and company goals. Ashtan gets very candid about his record in entrepreneurship, but why he refused to give up when things weren't quite working out the way he had hoped, and why that finally paid off.
They also discuss gratitude and the importance of saying thank you more often. Additionally, the hosts share personal stories, including how they built a non-profit and a portfolio of rental properties, and regret working too many long hours in their early 20s.

Is this the perfect time to buy or sell, or should you wait it out for the market to finally 'correct' itself? (Spoiler alert: the market isn't going to correct itself.)
On this episode of Winning Strategies Playbook, James welcomes back Mortgage Pro, William Adams. William talks about the current real estate marketing and interest rates, and what his predictions are for the next 12 months.
William and James also discuss how to thrive when your industry takes a slow turn, and the importance of referrals for the success of a business in the real estate industry. They also talk about why staying engaged with past clients and former collegues is so crucial to build that sphere of influence and constantly stay on top of mind for when that moment happens when the economy does start to get hot again.
William also provides insight into the housing market, advocating for buying real estate at a young age, and discusses the merits of buy down options, and when it's a good time to take advantage of those. They also talk about why it's the perfect time to buy a home if you're using a VA or FHA loan.

If you were to study the poop of one of the world's greatest athletes, let's say a GOAT in the football world, what would you find?
It may seem like a crazy thought (or one featured on South Park): https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/7ggrjx/south-park-please-can-we-have-your-poop. And yet, it's the true story of today's guest.
On this episode, James and Megan, welcome Jacob Luber, PhD to Winning Strategies Playbook to discuss his research, which includes studying the microbes of elite athletes.
Jacob is a highly accomplished academic with extensive experience in the field of cancer research.

Jacob's innovative research in this area has made him highly sought-after.
They discuss so many things in this episode, including the world of generative AI and its potential impact on various sectors. They discuss how AI tools can generate code and text through Chat GPT technology, and how fake medical images generated from generative AI can predict cancer diagnosis for a fraction of the cost of traditional diagnostic technologies. They also dive into the challenges and opportunities of investing in biotech companies, including the potential emergence of the next billion-dollar companies in cities like Fort Worth, Dallas, and Omaha. They also discuss the microbiome's impact on immunotherapies for cancer treatment.

Have you found yourself stuck throughout moments in your life?
