In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Matt Stevens, known as “the franchise guy,” for a candid conversation about business, real estate, and the realities behind both. Matt shares his early entrepreneurial success—building a painting franchise to 5,000 hours in just three months—before opening up about his much tougher experience in real estate, where fires, insurance issues, and other setbacks led to roughly $50,000 in losses. This episode offers a grounded perspective that challenges the idea of any “perfect” investment strategy.

After stepping away from real estate, Matt refocused on his franchise consulting business, where clarity and focus led to massive growth—ultimately increasing his revenue sixfold. He breaks down his relationship-first approach to helping clients find the right franchise opportunities, along with practical insights on financial requirements, time commitments, and what makes a strong candidate. The conversation also explores industries poised for growth, particularly service-based and healthcare sectors, making this episode both a reality check and a forward-looking guide for investors and entrepreneurs.

Know Yourself First: Jamie Bateman on Discovering Your Investor Avatar

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman shares a presentation from the 8th Annual Cash Flow Expo, where he breaks down one of the most overlooked steps in real estate investing: identifying your investor avatar. Too often, investors jump straight into mortgage note investing, rental properties, or passive deals without first asking a critical question—what type of investor am I? Skipping this step can lead to frustration, misaligned strategies, and unnecessary risk.

Drawing from his experience at Labrador Lending, Jamie outlines the three primary investor avatars they serve and explains how to determine which approach best fits your goals, risk tolerance, time availability, and desire for control. Whether you focus on notes, rentals, commercial real estate, or passive income opportunities, the principles in this episode will help you align your strategy with who you are—so you can make clearer, wiser investment decisions.

Guest Introduction:

He is also the host of From Adversity to Abundance, where he helps real estate investors build mental fitness and make informed investment decisions.

Episode Highlights:

• The Cash Flow Expo Presentation – Jamie shares insights from his talk at the 8th Annual Cash Flow Expo.

• The Three Investor Avatars – A breakdown of the core investor types Labrador Lending serves.

• Aligning Strategy with Personality – How time, risk tolerance, capital, and control preferences impact your investment approach.

• Active vs. Passive Investing – When each path makes sense—and when it doesn’t.

• Avoiding Misalignment – How self-awareness can prevent costly investing mistakes.

Key Takeaways:

• Not every investment strategy is right for every investor.

• Identifying your investor avatar creates clarity and confidence.

Burned by Financial “Experts”: Robert Rolih on Financial Independence and Ownership

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Robert Rolih, an international bestselling author, financial educator, and entrepreneur living in Slovenia. This conversation takes a different turn than many past episodes, focusing on financial ownership, personal responsibility, and the hard lessons that come from trusting the wrong “experts.” Robert shares how growing up without much money shaped his drive to build a web development and software business from a young age, finally becoming profitable after five years of persistence.

That success, however, was followed by a major setback. After reinvesting nearly all of his business profits with financial experts and gurus, Robert suffered significant losses — forcing a powerful mindset shift. In this episode, he breaks down the three key steps he took to educate himself on investing, how he rebuilt and grew his portfolio, and what he learned along the way. The discussion spans stocks, crypto, and real estate, while also calling out Wall Street and guru culture. Today, Robert runs a lifestyle-focused business that allows him to work flexibly, travel with his family, and experience a level of financial abundance that didn’t feel possible before.

Guest Introduction:

Robert Rolih

Robert Rolih is an international bestselling author, financial educator, and entrepreneur based in Slovenia. After building and selling software and web-based businesses, Robert experienced major financial setbacks by relying on financial experts and gurus. That turning point led him to take full ownership of his investing education, rebuild his portfolio, and design a lifestyle-centered business that prioritizes freedom, flexibility, and financial abundance.

Episode Highlights:

Growing Up Without Money – Robert shares how his early financial background shaped his mindset.
Building a Business from Scratch – Five years of persistence before finally becoming profitable.
Costly Lessons with “Experts” – What Robert learned from trusting financial gurus.
Taking Ownership of Investing – The mindset shift that changed everything.
Three Steps to Financial Education – How Robert re-educated himself and rebuilt his portfolio.

Key Takeaways:

Outsourcing financial responsibility can be costly if you don’t understand what you’re investing in.
Taking ownership of your financial education is critical to long-term success.
Financial setbacks can become turning points when paired with the right mindset.
You don’t need gurus or Wall Street to build financial abundance — education and accountability matter most.
A lifestyle-driven approach to investing can create both freedom and fulfillment.

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Dan Deppen, owner of Call the Underwriter, a company that works closely with seller-finance and owner-finance real estate investors to help create loans for owner-occupied borrowers. But this conversation goes well beyond underwriting and real estate mechanics.

Dan opens up about a season of personal and professional transition that many listeners will find deeply relatable. He shares his experience navigating a recent divorce while simultaneously moving between life as a W-2 employee and entrepreneurship—more than once. Rather than framing these shifts as failures, Dan reflects on how each transition shaped his perspective on work, stability, and what real abundance actually looks like.

Today, Dan is building Call the Underwriter with intention, balancing the demands of scaling a business with the priorities of family, flexibility, and freedom of choice. This episode explores the emotional and mental side of entrepreneurship, the realities of starting over, and how abundance isn’t always about doing less—but about having alignment, options, and purpose. Listeners can expect practical wisdom, grounded insights, and an honest look at what it means to redefine success on your own terms.

Guest Introduction:

Dan Deppen is the owner of Call the Underwriter, a company that supports seller-finance and owner-finance real estate investors by helping structure loans for owner-occupied borrowers.

Dan’s journey through divorce and major life transitions
Moving from W-2 employment to entrepreneurship—and back again
Lessons learned from rebuilding professionally and personally
What “abundance” looks like beyond money and business growth

The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything: Stephen Predmore on Gaining Stability, Clarity, and True Wealth

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Stephen Predmore, a long-time engineer who discovered firsthand how fragile job security can be—and how real estate investing can provide true financial stability.

After decades in a W-2 role, Stephen described himself as “fat, dumb, and happy,” comfortable in his career until an unexpected financial blow upended everything he thought was secure. In an instant, his primary income source dried up, forcing him to rethink his entire approach to wealth and security.

Instead of retreating, Stephen took action. He began building multiple streams of income through single-family and multifamily real estate investments—first as an active investor, and later by helping others invest passively. Today, he focuses on empowering fellow engineers and professionals to diversify their income and invest with confidence.

This episode is deeply relatable and practical, showing how adversity can serve as the wake-up call that pushes us toward abundance. Stephen’s journey highlights how anyone—no matter their background—can take control of their financial future with the right mindset and plan.

Guest Introduction: Stephen Predmore

Stephen Predmore is a veteran engineer turned real estate investor who helps professionals, particularly engineers, transition from relying solely on W-2 income to building wealth through real estate. Having experienced sudden job loss himself, Stephen now invests in both single-family and multifamily assets and mentors others on creating passive income streams.

Episode Highlights

The Wake-Up Call – How Stephen’s sense of financial security vanished overnight and forced him to take control.
From Active to Passive Investing – Why Stephen shifted from hands-on property management to multifamily syndications.
Diversifying Income Streams – How he built stability by creating multiple sources of income.
Helping Other Engineers Invest – Stephen’s mission to guide fellow professionals toward financial independence.
Mindset Shift After Adversity – The lessons that transformed how he views money, risk, and opportunity.

Key Takeaways

Job security can be an illusion—diversification is essential for true financial freedom.
Real estate investing offers practical ways to build stability outside your W-2 job.
Adversity can be the turning point that fuels growth and clarity.
Helping others invest can multiply your own sense of purpose and abundance.

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Brad Andrus, a Texas-based entrepreneur who’s built, lost, and rebuilt multiple businesses across both real estate and other industries. Brad’s journey is a powerful story of perseverance, adaptability, and the enduring value of strong relationships.

After building a net worth of nearly $1 million by his late 20s, Brad was hit hard by the 2008 financial crash—losing nearly everything and finding himself deep in debt. But instead of walking away, he rebuilt from the ground up. Today, Brad owns and operates several successful companies, proving that setbacks don’t define you—your response to them does.

Jamie and Brad explore how early success shaped his mindset, what he learned from losing it all, and how he’s leveraged lessons from failure to grow into a seasoned entrepreneur. Toward the end of the episode, the conversation takes an exciting turn into the world of AI, where Brad shares how he’s helping businesses harness artificial intelligence—without needing to be the “AI expert in the room.”

More than anything, this episode underscores the importance of people—how healthy, win-win relationships and collaboration can drive long-term success and fulfillment.

Guest Introduction: Brad Andrus

Brad Andrus is a Texas-based entrepreneur, investor, and podcast host who has founded and managed multiple businesses in and outside of real estate. After losing nearly everything in the 2008 financial crisis, Brad rebuilt his wealth and continues to innovate—most recently through ventures exploring the practical use of AI in business. His story embodies grit, reinvention, and the power of relationships.

Diversification can lead to greater resilience in business and life.
You don’t have to be an AI expert to start using it meaningfully in your business.

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Whitney Elkins-Hutten, a real estate investor, educator, and the Director of Investor Education at PassiveInvesting.com. Whitney’s journey is not just about building wealth—it’s about navigating real-life challenges, pivoting when necessary, and using adversity as a catalyst for growth.

Whitney started out as a busy professional juggling a career while running a side hustle in single-family real estate. What began with fix-and-flip projects soon grew into a portfolio of over 40 rentals. But life had other plans. After unexpected family losses and major medical challenges, Whitney was forced to step back, reassess, and ultimately transform her business from a solo entrepreneurial venture into a sustainable wealth-building platform.

Today, Whitney focuses on larger-scale commercial investments—including multifamily, car washes, and debt funds. She is passionate about empowering busy professionals, moms, and entrepreneurs alike to build lasting wealth through smart, diversified strategies.

Whether you’re an aspiring passive investor, an active operator, or someone considering a career pivot, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable insights.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman speaks with Merriah Harkins, Senior Sales Officer at Lukrom, a private investment firm with a focus on private credit. While Merriah has built a powerhouse career in sales and investor relations—with over 25 years of experience driving revenue and client retention—her professional strength is rooted in deeply personal adversity.

At just four years old, Merriah’s mother abandoned her family, leading to an unconventional upbringing in a boarding school without the traditional presence of either parent. This early trauma shaped her worldview, her emotional resilience, and her unique approach to risk, relationships, and leadership.

Merriah isn’t your typical entrepreneur. In fact, she openly shares about a failed business venture and how it redirected her path toward her true zone of genius: connecting with people and helping them make confident investment decisions—whether they're active or passive investors.

In this candid conversation, Jamie and Merriah explore not only her personal story, but also practical insights on capital raising, relationship-driven sales, and the mindset needed to thrive in real estate and private credit markets. This episode will resonate with anyone who has faced rejection, abandonment, or career pivots—and come out stronger on the other side.

Guest Introduction: Merriah Harkins

Merriah Harkins is the Senior Sales Officer at Lukrom, a private investment firm focused on private credit. With over 25 years of experience in sales strategy, client relations, and capital raising, Merriah brings deep industry expertise and human connection to every investor conversation. Her personal story of resilience and growth informs her no-fluff, heart-centered approach to investor education and relationship management.

Episode Highlights:

Abandonment to Empowerment – Merriah opens up about her mother leaving at age four and being raised in a boarding school, and how those early wounds shaped her strength.
Sales as Service – Merriah explains her approach to building trust and loyalty with both active and passive investors.
Lessons for Active Investors – How real estate and mortgage note investors can elevate their capital-raising strategy.
Smart Moves for Passive Investors – How to think through investment decisions with clarity and confidence (not financial advice).

Key Takeaways:

Personal adversity, especially early in life, can develop core strengths that fuel long-term success.
Failure in business doesn’t mean failure in life—it can be a redirection to your true calling.
Building authentic relationships is the cornerstone of successful sales and capital raising.
Whether you’re an active or passive investor, understanding your risk tolerance and emotional drivers can help guide better decisions.

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman welcomes Mark Monroe, a seasoned real estate investor and creative financing expert with a story that’s anything but linear. Born into poverty in Vermont, Mark climbed the ranks of the mortgage industry, eventually leading a team of over 100 loan officers. But after a major investment in an online lending program went south, he lost nearly everything—about 90% of the wealth he had built.

This episode dives deep into Mark’s rollercoaster journey: from growing up with nothing to building a financial empire, losing it all, and then rebuilding his life on his own terms. Today, Mark enjoys the freedom to travel the world, indulge in good food, and work on his own schedule—an outcome made possible by the skills he developed in both high-pressure finance roles and, surprisingly, during his early days at McDonald’s.

Mark opens up about his mindset shifts, his approach to solving problems through empathy and active listening, and how those traits translated into massive success in creative finance. He also shares the emotional toll of a serious health scare, revealing the mental resilience that got him through both financial ruin and physical adversity.

This episode blends personal grit, business insights, and powerful lessons in a way that’s both raw and uplifting. Whether you're navigating hardship or simply looking for smarter ways to invest, Mark’s story will inspire and inform.

Guest Introduction: Mark Monroe

Mark Monroe is a real estate investor, creative financing expert, and former mortgage industry leader. He built a large-scale operation with over 100 loan officers, lost most of his fortune in a failed lending program, and has since rebuilt his financial life through savvy investing and strategic thinking. Known for his empathetic approach and creative deal-making, Mark now enjoys a lifestyle of freedom and purpose.

Episode Highlights:

From Poverty to Wealth—Then Rock Bottom, Then Higher Than Ever – Mark’s full-circle journey through poverty, peak success, major financial loss, and an even stronger rebound.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 20 May 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Peter Roisman, cofounding principal, president, and CEO of Rev—a company reshaping how multifamily leasing is done. With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience across the sports, medical, and real estate sectors, Peter brings sharp insights and battle-tested wisdom to the table.

Peter opens up about a major inflection point in his journey: a promising business deal that, if successful, could have earned him several million dollars. Instead, the deal fell apart, leaving him not only with a $400,000 loss but also the painful weight of what could have been. Rather than letting that moment define him, Peter used the experience to pivot, rebuild, and ultimately find greater clarity in his entrepreneurial path.

This candid conversation goes beyond real estate. Peter explores how life unfolds in seasons, why timing matters, and how to make intentional choices—whether you're launching a business, investing, or simply figuring out what’s next. He breaks down the Rev model, offers career advice grounded in decades of experience, and shares how to align passion, skill, and market demand in a way that leads to meaningful success.

Guest Introduction: Peter Roisman

Peter Roisman is the cofounding principal, president, and CEO of Rev, an innovative multifamily leasing company. Over the past three decades, he’s launched and led businesses in sports, medicine, and real estate. His story is one of resilience, strategic pivots, and reimagining what success looks like across different seasons of life and work.

Episode Highlights:

The Deal That Got Away – How Peter missed out on a multimillion-dollar exit and faced a $400K loss instead.
Redefining Leasing – The origin story of Rev and how it separates leasing from property management.
Career Crossroads – Insights on choosing between passion, skillset, and what the market will actually pay for.
Life in Seasons – Why timing and flexibility are essential to long-term success.

Real estate success isn’t just about deals—it’s about systems, service models, and leadership.
Your ideal career path often lives at the intersection of passion, talent, and demand.
Life has seasons—embracing that can help you know when to push forward and when to pivot.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 13 May 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman speaks with Adiel Gorel, a veteran real estate investor, bestselling author, and longtime advocate for long-term, buy-and-hold rental property investing. After launching a successful career in the tech world of Silicon Valley, Adiel realized that real wealth and impact weren’t found in the fast-paced corporate grind but in the stability and simplicity of real estate.

With hundreds of rental properties under his belt, Adiel could have retired decades ago. Instead, he's chosen to dedicate his time to educating others and sharing the practical lessons he’s learned along the way. Throughout the conversation, Adiel highlights why single-family residential real estate is his investment vehicle of choice—and how keeping things simple has been the secret to long-term success.

This episode is full of timeless, no-fluff advice for investors at any stage. From his love for long-term rental properties to his perspective on what he calls “the greatest gift the U.S. has to offer,” Adiel’s insights are both inspirational and deeply actionable.

Guest Introduction: Adiel Gorel

Adiel Gorel is an Amazon bestselling author, international speaker, and seasoned real estate investor with decades of experience. He has been featured on numerous media programs and has written five books on real estate and financial freedom. Adiel has successfully built a portfolio of hundreds of rental properties and is passionate about helping others achieve financial independence through simple, long-term investment strategies.

Episode Highlights:

From Silicon Valley to Single-Family Homes – Adiel shares how he left the tech industry and discovered his passion for real estate.
Why Simplicity Wins – A breakdown of his long-term, buy-and-hold approach to single-family rental investing.
Hundreds of Properties, Zero Hype – How Adiel quietly built a real estate empire without complicated strategies or flashy tactics.
The Greatest Gift in America – Adiel reveals what he believes is the most powerful opportunity available in the U.S.—and it may surprise you.
A Mission to Educate – Why Adiel continues to teach and inspire others, even though he reached financial freedom years ago.

Key Takeaways:

Simplicity in real estate investing often leads to the most sustainable results.
You don’t need to chase trends or overcomplicate your strategy—long-term rentals can be a powerful wealth-building tool.
True wealth isn’t just about money—it’s about having the freedom to help others and do what you love.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman welcomes back entrepreneur and real estate investor Nick Huber for a refreshingly bold and unfiltered conversation. Unlike his first appearance, this episode isn’t focused on Nick’s personal backstory or a single moment of adversity—instead, the two dive headfirst into some of Nick’s most controversial takes on modern life, business, health, and society. It all stems from a recent post Nick shared on X (formerly Twitter), listing 25 opinions he believes will become widely accepted over the next 20 years.

From video game addiction and hormone optimization to the future of AI, crypto, and even how 40-year-olds can (and should) take control of their health, Nick doesn't hold back—and Jamie doesn’t shy away from pushing back either. While Nick’s business track record with companies like Bolt Storage, RE Cost Seg, and Sweaty Startup (somewhere.com) speaks for itself, this conversation is more about mindset and challenging the status quo.

Guest Introduction: Nick Huber

Nick Huber is a serial entrepreneur and real estate investor who began his journey by launching Storage Squad in 2011. Since then, he has built and scaled multiple multi-million dollar businesses, including Bolt Storage, RE Cost Seg, and Sweaty Startup. Known for his large following and unapologetic takes on X, Nick is a strong advocate for personal responsibility, business efficiency, and critical thinking.

Episode Highlights:

Controversial Opinions, Unfiltered – Nick shares and defends several of his boldest views, from video game addiction to the overuse of pharmaceuticals.
Challenging the Status Quo – Jamie pushes back on many of Nick’s hot takes, making for a lively, thought-provoking exchange.
The Intersection of Health & Wealth – A deep dive into Nick’s beliefs about routine bloodwork, hormone optimization, and how it impacts performance for men and women.
AI, Crypto, and the Future – Hear Nick’s sharp takes on where technology is headed and how it will affect real estate and beyond.

Key Takeaways:

Challenging commonly accepted beliefs can spark meaningful conversation—and growth.
Health optimization is often overlooked by entrepreneurs but plays a key role in long-term success.
Adversity doesn’t always look like rock bottom—it can be the resistance we face when going against the grain.

Escaping the 9-to-5 Grind: Lane Kawaoka on Leaving a W-2 & Climbing the Wealth Elevator

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Lane Kawaoka, a former engineer who broke free from the traditional 9-to-5 grind to achieve financial independence through real estate. After spending 12 years in engineering, Lane realized that the conventional path—working hard, saving in a 401(k), and hoping for a comfortable retirement—wasn’t the key to true wealth. Instead, he started investing in rental properties while working his W-2 job, gradually shifting from passive to active investing.

Today, Lane has invested in over $2 billion worth of real estate and owns or has a stake in more than 10,000 rental units. But this episode isn’t just about his impressive portfolio—it’s about challenging the status quo. Lane shares the mental hurdles of leaving a stable career, the struggles of early investments, and how he navigated real estate deals that didn’t go as planned. He also calls out common financial myths, including the overpriced guru programs that promise wealth but often underdeliver.

Guest Introduction: Lane Kawaoka

Lane Kawaoka is a former civil engineer who left his 9-to-5 job to become a full-time real estate investor. Starting with a handful of rental properties, he now manages investments in over 10,000 units and has been involved in $2 billion worth of real estate transactions. He is also a podcast host, author, and educator, helping others break free from the traditional financial system to achieve financial freedom.

Episode Highlights:

Breaking Free from the 9-to-5 – Lane shares how he realized the traditional career path wasn’t for him and how he took the leap into real estate.
Scaling Real Estate Investments – From 11 rentals to 10,000+ units, Lane explains his shift from passive investor to full-time real estate entrepreneur.
The Struggles of Transitioning Careers – The mindset challenges and practical difficulties of leaving a stable job.
Lessons from Real Estate Deals That Went Wrong – What Lane learned from setbacks and how he adjusted his approach.
Calling Out the Gurus – Why Lane believes you don’t need a $30,000 course to be successful in real estate.
Building Real Wealth – How Lane uses his podcast, community, and experience to educate others on achieving financial freedom.

Key Takeaways:

The traditional financial path may not be the best route to wealth and freedom.
Investing in real estate can provide a way to escape the 9-to-5 grind, but it requires the right mindset and approach.
Setbacks and failures are part of the journey—learning from them is key to long-term success.
You don’t need to spend thousands on expensive mentorship programs to succeed; education and action are what matter most.
A refreshing, no-nonsense approach to financial independence can be both inspiring and practical.

From Underwriting and Banking to Wealth and Freedom: Sam Morris’ Real Estate Journey

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman sits down with Sam Morris, founder and CEO of Sunset Capital, a firm specializing in multifamily and self-storage real estate investing. With 18 years in corporate banking, Sam developed a deep understanding of underwriting and market analysis before transitioning into passive and active real estate investing.

Sam shares the roller coaster experience of his first deal as a passive investor, which took an unexpected and difficult turn. At just 24 or 25 years old, as a young father, he faced the real possibility of losing a significant investment. His journey through that challenge is a true example of navigating adversity in real estate.

Toward the end of the episode, Sam and Jamie discuss knowing when to push through hard work versus when to step back and delegate, a crucial skill for any investor or entrepreneur. Sam also shares unique book recommendations, including one that has never been mentioned on the show before.

Whether you're an active or passive investor, or simply looking to understand market conditions and investment strategies, this episode is packed with insights from Sam’s extensive financial background.

From Broke Track Coach to Financially Free Investor with Jay Redding

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 04:00:00 -0500

In this episode of From Adversity to Abundance, host Jamie Bateman speaks with Jay Redding, a seasoned note investor, about the ins and outs of passive note investing. Jay shares his journey from coaching to the pharmaceutical industry and how he pivoted to real estate and mortgage note investing after overcoming significant personal and professional challenges.

Guest Introduction: Jay Redding

Jay is a passionate investor. He and his son-in-law, Kyle Cassidy, founded Cassidy Investment Group, LLC, which focuses on buying and creating mortgage-backed notes. After a successful career in coaching and pharmaceuticals, Jay shifted to the world of real estate and note investing, focusing on building a consistent and predictable income stream for his clients. His approach is grounded in integrity, long-term thinking, and helping others achieve financial freedom.

Background Stories

Jay Redding’s Journey

After years of coaching and a career in pharmaceuticals, Jay found himself at a crossroads when he was laid off. Turning adversity into opportunity, he entered the world of real estate and note investing, where he has since built a successful business helping others create wealth with passive income. His story is one of resilience, grit, and the ability to bounce back from life’s challenges.

Client Success Story

Jay shares a powerful example of how a client, unsure about the active role of note investing, chose to passively invest with his company instead. This client, looking for consistency and predictability, found success in a more hands-off approach, enjoying regular returns without the headache of managing notes or dealing with the complexities of foreclosure processes.

Key Discussion Points

The difference between active and passive note investing and why many prefer the latter for its predictability.
The importance of consistency in the world of note investing, likened to the “turtle” approach—slow and steady wins the race.
How Jay transitioned from coaching to note investing and leveraged his past experiences to succeed in this new industry.
The emotional rollercoaster of transitions and how Jay overcame professional setbacks and found his passion in note investing.

Practical Takeaways

For aspiring note investors: Starting with passive investing is a great way to dip your toes into the market while learning the ropes.
Consistency and predictability are key in building long-term wealth; focus on steady growth rather than flashy returns.
Embrace transitions as opportunities—sometimes a career pivot is the best way to reignite your passion and find true success.
Always work with people of integrity. The relationships you build in business can lead to long-term, fulfilling partnerships.

A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite by Trey Taylor

Episode Rerun: From Used Car Salesman to Multi-Millionaire Real Estate Investor with Corey Peterson

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 10:05:00 -0400

In this rerun podcast episode, Corey Peterson shares his inspiring journey from being a used car salesman to becoming a multi-millionaire real estate investor. He talks about how meeting his mother's partner, Bruce, who took them on an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, changed his mindset about wealth and motivated him to turn his life around.

Corey shares his experience of using other people's money to grow his businesses and how he overcame his workaholism to create time freedom and become a full-time dad. He also discusses the adversities he had to overcome, including a $3.2 million deal that went sideways and breaking his son's heart.

This rerun episode has timeless lessons on finding success through failure, the importance of creating time freedom, and prioritizing family.

Tune in to rediscover how Corey grew his businesses by copying others, using other people’s money, and creating time freedom to spend more time with his family.

Notable Quotes:

On using other people’s money:

“It takes money to make money. But it doesn't always take your money.”

On workaholism and creating time freedom:

“I was saying things like, well, I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my family. That's a lie. I was doing it for me... I didn't create anything that gave me time freedom. It was just work, work, work.”

“No kid ever worries about how much money dad makes. The only currency they trade in is time.”

“Put your vision first, then build your work life around it. If you prioritize your family and what's truly important, the rest must fit into the cracks.”

Adversities Corey Overcame:

Grew up poor
Struggled with workaholism
Was an absent dad and husband
Broke his son’s heart
Had a $3.2 million deal go sideways

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, our host Jamie Bateman and senior fund manager Marc Blunden dive deep into the details of the Integrity Income Fund. This fund is designed for accredited passive investors, offering a lower-risk investment backed by first lien mortgage notes on residential real estate. The discussion covers the benefits, potential risks, and unique features of the fund.

Key Highlights:

- Fund Focus: Accredited passive investors with opportunities for non-accredited active mortgage note investors.

- Track Record: Operational for over 2 years without missing a single payment; monthly investor distributions.

- Investment Strategy: No leverage used; investments in first lien mortgage notes—considered lower risk.

- Liquidity & Commitment: Short commitment period of only 12 months compared to other funds.

- Management Team Expertise: Extensive experience in managing non-performing assets and foreclosure situations.

Benefits of Investing:

1. No Leverage Used: Lower risk profile as no loans are taken out by the fund itself.

2. Monthly Distributions: Preferred return targeted at 8% annually with consistent monthly payouts.

3. High Liquidity: One-year minimum commitment allows relatively easy withdrawal after that period.

4. Experienced Management Team: Proven track record in managing complex loan situations.

Investment Process:

1. Schedule a call or express interest via Labrador Lending.

2. Review necessary documents (PPM, subscription agreement).

3. Confirm accreditation status as an investor.

4. Execute documents and initiate wire transfer to start earning returns.

Case Studies Highlighted:

1. A heavily delinquent note turned performing through borrower modification—resulting in increased asset value and stable cash flow.

2. Conversion from contract-for-deed to traditional mortgage note—providing immediate equity to homeowners while reducing management headaches.

Investing through self-directed IRAs can provide significant tax advantages when paired with such income-generating assets like those offered by the Integrity Income Fund.

This is a republished episode (originally released on May 3, 2022) Episode 5: From a Life-Threatening Shooting and Millions Lost to Real Estate and Relationship Wealth with Fuquan Bilal

You can buy Jamie’s book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGTWJY1D?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

Fuquan Bilal is a multifaceted individual, excelling as an author, investor, and business owner, boasting a wealth of knowledge spanning various asset classes and investment strategies. At the helm of a blended fund, Fuquan spearheads initiatives that involve purchasing properties and implementing value-added strategies, thereby positively impacting communities across the United States. His company's investment portfolio encompasses multifamily properties, mortgage notes, single-family rehabs, among other ventures.

However, Fuquan's journey to success hasn't been without its share of challenges. In 2001, he endured a harrowing experience when he was shot five times during a botched robbery. Surprisingly, Fuquan regards this incident as a pivotal turning point in his life, viewing it as the catalyst for a new direction. Subsequently, in 2008, he faced another setback, losing $2 million of his personal funds. Compounded by a divorce and custody battle, these trials tested Fuquan's resilience and fortitude.

Remarkably, these adversities have instilled in Fuquan a profound sense of gratitude for life's simple pleasures, often overlooked amidst the pursuit of material success. They have also prompted him to embark on a journey of introspection, leading him to delve deeper into his core values and beliefs. As a result, Fuquan emerged from these challenges with a newfound perspective, one characterized by resilience, humility, and an appreciation for life's intrinsic blessings.

"Every adversity brings growth, so I embrace them like I'm the guy when a building is burning down, running towards the building, not away from it." - Fuquan Bilal

"If it requires you to get up early, then do it. That's for you. Miracle morning. If you guys read that book, that's a great book. Also, if you can get that extra 2 hours in the morning to yourself, it's just a whole game changer." - Fuquan Bilal

"Success is a daily optimized experience. If you can create every single day that's sustainable over time, that's success, an optimized daily experience." - Fuquan Bilal

The Power of Teamwork: Overcoming Health, Motherhood, Entrepreneurship Challenges with Tanya Alvarez

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 04:00:00 -0500

Does the struggle of juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship sound familiar to you? Have you been told to simply work harder or figure it out on your own in order to find success in both areas? The stress and burnout from trying to do it all without any support can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling drained and discouraged.

In this episode, our guest is Tanya Alvarez, who at age 25 started a New York ad agency using credit cards and went from zero to 1 million in revenue in the first year. She's overcome a whole lot in her life. She's 45 now, and we chat a good bit about health struggles that she's been through, although perspective is critical with regard to that and how frankly, her sister has much more severe health struggles.

I always wanted to be like, in your 20s, especially from my background, there was a little chip on my shoulder that I wanted to prove, be that entrepreneur, right? But then I was like, wait, what about if I work myself? What's the cost? It's kind of like running, right? I wanted to run in high school to run again to division one, ended up at division three, even though I got full scholarships to division one because of the education. And then I had to think, do I want to be a professional runner? Well, luckily, I didn't, because I would have figured out later on in my life that I wasn't able to full on. But the whole point is, what's the cost that you're willing to do? - Tanya Alvarez

Unleashing Mental Resilience: The Entrepreneurial Game Plan with Former Pro Basketball Player Dre Baldwin

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 04:00:00 -0500

Former professional basketball player turned entrepreneur, Dre Baldwin, shares his inspiring journey to success. From selling merchandise online to establishing his brand and coaching business, Dre's story is a testament to the power of self-belief and taking action. But just when everything seems to be going smoothly, a challenge arises that threatens to derail his path. Will Dre be able to overcome this obstacle and continue his journey to success?

In the early years of the new millennium, a young Dre Baldwin found himself wandering through the aisles of bookstores, drawn to the sports and human psychology sections. Little did he know that these seemingly unrelated interests would shape his journey to success. It was during his college years that Dre stumbled upon a network marketing meeting, where he was exposed to a whole new way of thinking about entrepreneurship and money. Intrigued, he dove headfirst into the world of personal development, devouring books by renowned authors like Napoleon Hill and Robert Kiyosaki. These books opened his eyes to the power of mindset and challenged his preconceived notions about wealth and success. Inspired by these groundbreaking ideas, Dre began to carve his own path, combining his passion for basketball with his newfound knowledge of personal development. He started creating content online, sharing his skills and mindset with a growing audience. As his career as a professional basketball player took off, Dre also found himself becoming an entrepreneur, creating products specifically tailored to his dedicated followers. Today, Dre Baldwin is not just a former professional athlete, but a highly sought-after business coach and speaker, helping others tap into their potential and achieve their goals. His journey from adversity to abundance serves as a testament to the transformative power of mindset and the importance of embracing new ideas.

Does this sound familiar? You've been told that achieving personal growth and self-improvement requires simply going through the motions, following a set path, and conforming to societal norms. Yet, despite your efforts, you're left feeling unfulfilled, stuck, and longing for something more. The pain of taking action without seeing the desired results can be disheartening and discouraging. But here's the truth: true personal growth and self-improvement come from seeking knowledge, embracing new perspectives, and constantly evolving. It's time to break free from ineffective actions and unlock the transformative power of seeking knowledge and personal growth.

Udo Erasmus, a highly respected expert in the field of personal growth and self-improvement, joins us as a guest for today's episode. With a strong focus on turning health into a teachable field based on nature and human nature, Udo has dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of optimal well-being. Born during the Second World War and having experienced life as a refugee, Udo's early challenges shaped his deep desire to understand how individuals can live in harmony. Through extensive studies in science, biology, psychology, and medicine, Udo has acquired a vast knowledge base on the intricacies of human health. Additionally, his exploration of psychedelic experiences has provided him with unique insights into the limitless potential of the human mind. With his profound understanding and practical approach, Udo aims to empower individuals to tap into their inner potential and embrace a life of abundance.

“When a kid doesn't have a place that has support, either they die or they find support inside. And I found the support inside, so I was always a little bit inward.”

Are you ready to challenge some common myths about personal growth and recovery? Let's start by debunking three popular misconceptions: 1) Self-awareness is only for introspective people, 2) Intentional living is a luxury that can wait until later, and 3) Recovery means simply abstaining from addictive substances. Stay tuned as our guest, Jay Jablonski, reveals the truth behind these myths and shares how self-awareness and intentional living can truly transform your life.

In today's podcast, we introduce the dynamic Jay Jablonski. Jay is an award-winning producer. His life has been a tapestry woven from threads of challenging adversities, chronicled by episodes of physical injuries and addiction. Yet, Jay emerged victorious by honing his acting skills and by embarking upon a journey fraught with self-discovery. His experiences have forged him into an ambassador of personal growth and recovery, making him a valuable guest on our show for those seeking inspiration in their respective paths.

“I had a lot of energy...that could be a beautiful thing if harnessed correctly and allocated to a good source, or it could be a real negative thing, especially if I didn't get it out.”

Gain insights into battling addiction

Jay Jablonski's first-hand experience with alcohol and Vicodin addiction offers invaluable insights into the complex nature of addiction. His humble recognition of the problem and the subsequent brave decision to seek help through AA and hiring a life coach exemplifies the difficult path to recovery. Jay's story emphasizes the crucial role of support systems, the power of community, and the essence of admitting the need for help in overcoming addiction.

Personal fulfillment chaser turned business guru, Tim Swift, is our cherished podcast guest this week. Hailing from Australia's outback to the vibrant urban landscapes of America, Tim carries a diverse professional experience. His entrepreneurial journey was kick-started as a small business owner, where he successfully supervised a financial advisory firm. Through this adventure, he discovered the true meaning of helping others by exposing and educating them on financial literacy. Now, he graces us with his charm as an executive vice president of business affairs for a U.S.-based media company. His story is an embodiment of resilience, an enrapturing journey of transforming personal gratification into business triumph.

“Sometimes when you actually go down a fork in the road, it's okay to stop and realize that that's not the route that you want to take. You can simply back up and then go down the other fork in the road knowing full well that, hey, I explored that path. It doesn't mean that it was bad. It just means, okay, that's not the right road to actually take for me.”

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

From Employee to Founder with Small Business Accounting Expert Khristine Valdez

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Have you heard these myths about achieving financial abundance? Myth #1: All you need is a high income to become financially successful. Myth #2: Budgeting restricts your financial freedom. Myth #3: Investing is only for the wealthy. In reality, achieving financial abundance requires control and conscious decision-making. Our guest, Khristine Valdez, will share the truth about how small business owners can increase financial mindfulness and make smarter decisions to improve their financial control. Get ready to debunk these myths and learn actionable steps toward financial abundance.

Our guest for this week is Khristine Valdez, a talented accountant and seasoned entrepreneur who launched her own business, Haven Financial, to bring financial abundance and control to small business owners everywhere. Khristine's journey started in the corporate world, climbing the ladder to CFO positions before deciding to pursue true freedom and establish her own company. Her experience and understanding of the financial landscape enable her to provide invaluable advice on how gaining better control of finances can lead to smarter decision-making for business owners.

“It's not a sprint. Understanding that it's going to take time and not putting so much pressure on yourself, I think is a big thing. And, understanding what is it that you want out of being an entrepreneur and making that happen.”

“Pretend you're signing on a new client and walk them through every single step of the process and as if you were that client from beginning to end, and then look at every single piece that needs to be developed along the way. Whether it's accounting or not. Really, that's just a matter of empathy and putting yourself in the client's shoes. Trying to understand their perspective.”

We got to become comfortable with it. Because what I know is I can't change what happened to me, but I can change how I look at it. And if I talk about it more, that helps me change how I look at what happened.”

“You have a lifetime to live life and achieve everything you're doing. So you can put your business on pause for a day and go spend time with your family and you're going to be just fine because there's not an end goal. It's your life you're living and you don't have to measure yourself from other people's success.”

“So the money is not important, but you still need money to experience life, to have the finances, to have powerful relationships, to have good health, to even typically, oftentimes to have a good relationship with whatever faith you're involved in. If that's not solved, all those things typically suffer.”

This inspiring conversation offers hope and encouragement to listeners who may be considering a similar path.

"Everything that you want is on the other side of everything that you fear. It is just doing it anyway."

"You constantly have to be one-upping yourself."

“It comes from that burning desire from within to really want to do something different, um, really want to take action.”

"If your money, wherever it is now in your ETFs or your 401k or IRA, if it's not earning more than 11%, you're growing broke slowly."

“When you have a, when you can live a financially worry-free life, not to worry about paying your bills because you've got steady streams of income coming in that cover your monthly expenses and then some, then you get to live your passionate life.”

“I have learned in business that if you do what you say you're going to do, you will have success.”

Adversities Maureen had to overcome:

· Having a scarcity mindset onset when she decided to start her own business

· She experienced divorce while starting up her first company and 3 kids all under the age of 5

· Serious financial struggles to the point that she doesn’t have any money left in her account to pay her taxes (or even groceries)

“Believe. Stop doubting yourself. Doubt the doubters, not yourself.”

From Rags to Riches in 1 Year: Unlock Your True Potential with Speaker and Best-Selling Author Jim Britt

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 05:00:00 -0400

From 15 cents in his pocket to a millionaire in one year, Jim Brit shares his discovery of the core belief system that keeps us stuck and how to overcome it.

In this episode, you will be inspired and motivated to:

Eliminate limiting beliefs to unlock unparalleled achievement.
Develop a resilient attitude with six key mindset practices.
Embark on a journey of introspection and substantiated decision making.
Nourish your thought process and cultivate pathways to success.
Channel the energy of intention and visualization to attain your dreams.

Meet the inspiring Jim Britt, a seasoned professional speaker and founder of Cracking the Rich Code. With an astonishing 44 years of experience, Jim has captivated audiences across 30 countries, helping them break free from limiting beliefs. His expertise lies in assisting people to uncover and detach from the core beliefs that hinder their success. Despite coming from a humble background, Jim has built a thriving career as an entrepreneur and has positively impacted countless lives through his transformative coaching. Jim was mentored by Jim Rohn and his best-selling book Cracking the Rich Code was endorsed by Tony Robbins.

“If you want change in your life, if you want something better, if you want to earn more money, if you're an entrepreneur, the first thing you have to have is a desire to change. And that's got to be a burning desire, not just a passing thing that, well, one day I'm going to do this. I'm talking about that burning desire.”

“And what I learned is that if you want to accomplish something more than what you already have, you've got to do something more than who you are. In other words, every life level, every business level, every income level requires a different you, requires a different mindset. You see, it's a different mindset to go buy a Chevy Vega versus Lamborghini.”

Six (6) Elements that are Central to the Mindset of Becoming Successful:

1. Have a deep desire to change

2. Make a decision

3. Take action

4. Being willing to feel uncomfortable, being willing to step out of that comfort zone and become somebody different

5. Learn to let go

6. The resourceful to source, to love. Source equals love, and then love is what creates that passion, which really kind of starts the process all over again

Justin Rule is an entrepreneur with big dreams, but his journey to success has been anything but easy. After overcoming a difficult past, he's determined to help others do the same. However, when he and his partner are let go from their jobs, they must make a choice: will they risk it all to fight for their dreams? Or will they remain in the safety of a steady job?

Meet Justin Rule, a devoted family man and founder of the highly-rated web design company, Launchkits.com. Justin's journey to success has been anything but smooth, as he has navigated through personal struggles, addiction, and financial challenges. By turning to faith and dedicating himself to serving others, Justin has emerged stronger and more determined than ever. With a background in education and a heart for helping at-risk youth, he embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship that seeks to uplift and empower others.

“If you haven't considered whether or not you're actually adding value and bringing something to the marketplace that people will pay for, it might not end well for you financially, and you may end up hating what was a hobby that you loved.”

“At the end of the day, it's not just about bringing home money in a bank account, right? It's like being present and helpful and contributing to those in the community, those in your very close community, your family, right?”

“I feel like to be a successful entrepreneur, yes, you've got to have vision. You've got to have a desire for sort of impact and be a little stubborn to bust down some walls sometimes, but you have to be willing and humble to listen.”

The value of abundance

Abundance, as a concept, extends beyond mere financial wealth. It also encompasses emotional and spiritual well-being, relationships, and personal growth. Achieving a sense of abundance requires individuals to shift their focus from material possessions to finding fulfillment through inner peace, love, and service to others. Maintaining a mindset of abundance encourages personal satisfaction and supports the pursuit of a satisfying and meaningful life. In the podcast episode, Justin Rule speaks about his definition of abundance, emphasizing that it's not merely about amassing wealth but about living a whole, free life and serving others. His experiences and insights demonstrate that a focus on character, relationships, and personal growth can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

While his story might seem like an average American tale, Tony reveals a significant personal adversity that he overcame in 2022. This episode is packed with entrepreneurial insights, advice on selecting a business partner, and tips for growing a small business.

Tony runs Sottile & Barile with his business partner Franco Barile. They are champions of small and mid-sized investors.

Adversities Tony Sottile had to overcome:

Unfulfilment at a day job
Building a law firm from the ground up
Navigating challenges as a small business owner

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Mike Kitko's Journey from Rock Bottom to Inner Wealth

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In 2016, Mike Kitko hit rock bottom. He was 300 pounds, drinking to toxic levels, and on the verge of divorce. Why? imposter syndrome. Being a well-paid corporate executive didn’t take the imposter syndrome away, it made it worse.

“Success isn't gonna take away the feeling that you have, that you're a failure or you're a fraud.”

After spiraling into multiple self-sabotage habits, Mike took charge and started reinventing himself. But, his wife didn’t like it. The man Mike was becoming wasn’t the man she knew. She rejected the improved version of Mike. Everything that happened next changed both their lives forever.

“What I've learned is that I've gotta figure out what's best for me. I need to be the leader.”

In the episode we talk about the wake-up call in Mike’s life, the difference between codependency and true love, ways to overcome imposter syndrome, why you’re probably not living up to your full potential, and why you need to be self-centered.

“Your stories come true. Whatever you believe about yourself, you make it true. The flip side of the imposter syndrome is I get to decide who I am.”

Mike Kitko is the founder of Inner Wealth Global which he runs with his wife. There, he coaches, speaks, and helps people find time and money freedom - that’s his zone of genius. He also hosts a podcast and is a Marine veteran. He is the author of Imposter In Charge.

Adversities Mike Kitko had to overcome:

- Feeling suicidal

- Becoming 300 pounds

- Drinking at toxic levels

- Raging imposter syndrome

- Self-sabotage

- Lost his job

- Anger after too many beers

Abundance Mike Kitko created:

- Wrote a book

- Became a role model for his children

- Running a business with his wife

- Operating in his zone of genius

Lessons from Mike Kitko’s adversities

- If someone is close to you, but fights who you are - they’re not your ally.

- The reason you’re in a headlock is that you don’t believe in yourself.

Abundance through Instability and Loss with Homeschooler, Investment-Club Creator Emma Powell

From Quitting My Job to Owning Multiple Companies: A Crash Course in Mortgage Note Investing

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Jamie shares his journey from quitting his job to becoming a successful entrepreneur owning multiple companies, including a mortgage note investing and loan servicing company. He also provides a crash course on how to become a note investor yourself, while sharing tips and tricks on how to stay motivated and what he's working on.

Tune in to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of note investing, how to buy non-performing and performing mortgage notes, and why it's a more secure asset class than stocks. Whether you're a real estate professional or an aspiring investor, this episode is for you.

“more often than not, the frontline real estate professionals do not become investors.”

Making the shift always lived in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until 2015 that I invested in my first property while working a civilian job with the Department of Defense. Eventually, working there felt like groundhog day and I was losing the passion for it. Tune in for the story of why I quit my job and how I made it work after quitting.

“I do think action taking a step is critical. If someone is stuck, take a step, move in one direction. You can still turn 10 degrees and then turn back. You don't have to conquer it all immediately, but I do think taking one small step toward your goal is critical.”

A crash course in becoming a mortgage note investor:

Buying non-preforming mortgage notes is like buying a fix and flip property: you turn it into a performing note and can sell it at a higher rate to someone else. The purpose is to exit.
Buying a performing mortgage note is like buying a buy and hold property: its a cashflow play, you receive payments as a borrower pays off their mortgage.
Disadvantage of note investing: The value of a mortgage note goes down over time because as the borrower pays off the principal, the interest amounts also decrease.
Mortgage note investing is more secure than other asset classes like stocks because the real estate is always your collateral. All your investments are backed with tangible assets.
“the most successful note investors probably have some real estate investing experience”
Mortgage note investing is fully location independent, you can do it from anywhere.
You don’t have to have a mortgage note business to be a mortgage note investor.

From Used Car Salesman to Multi-Millionaire Real Estate Investor with Corey Peterson

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this podcast episode, Corey Peterson shares his inspiring journey from being a used car salesman to becoming a multi-millionaire real estate investor. He talks about how meeting his mother's partner, Bruce, who took them on an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii, changed his mindset about wealth and motivated him to turn his life around. Corey shares his experience of using other people's money to grow his businesses and how he overcame his workaholism to create time freedom and become a full-time dad. He also discusses the adversities he had to overcome, including a $3.2 million deal that went sideways and breaking his son's heart. Corey shares valuable lessons on how to find success through failure, the importance of creating time freedom, and putting your family first.

Tune in to find out how Corey grew his businesses by copying others, using other people’s money, and is spending more time than ever with his family by creating time freedom.

On using other people’s money:

“It takes money to make money. But it doesn't always take your money.”

On workaholism and creating time freedom:

“I was saying things like, well, I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my family. That's a lie. I was doing it for me, right? There was an expense, a price to pay for doing it the way that I was doing it because there was no balance. I didn't create any things that gave me time freedom or really any freedom. It was just work, work, work.”

“No kid ever worries about how much money dad makes. The only currency they trade in is time.”

“Put your vision first, then you build your work life to work around it. It has to fit in the cracks, right? So if you put your family and the things you're really believe are important, and then you put your business on top, it has to fit in the crack.”

Adversities Corey Peterson had to overcome:

Grew up poor
Struggled with being a workaholic
Was an absent dad and husband
Broke his son’s heart
Had a $3.2 million deal go sideways

Abundance Corey Peterson created:

Started wholesaling real estate
Became a full-time dad
Became a multi-millionaire real estate investor by buying apartment buildings

YourDailyPurpose on Instagram

From 8 Hazy Years of Drugs to Running Two Businesses with Life Coach Geoff Seow

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

A few short years ago, Geoff Seow was in an 8-year haze. That’s what he calls his drug and alcohol addiction years. Today, he has 3 degrees and runs two businesses. In this episode, he shares lessons from how he transformed his life. In August 2020 he decided to turn his life around.

“ Marijuana cut a lot of ambition and drive out of my life.”

He took action to tap into his ambition and started an Instagram account called Your Daily Purpose. Though he initially started it to keep himself motivated, it reached 3000 followers in 6 months all because he was being authentic and investing the time to truly get to know people. At his job, he realized he was spending more time answering his Instagram DMs than he was doing his actual job.

“Everybody's using social media, so you have to use social media to create quality conversations, but not in the sense of just creating conversations to sell, because people do that all the time. But creating conversations as in creating a network, creating a global network of people that you know from around the world.”

Eventually, he started an apparel company and a life coaching business. In the episode, he talks about how to overcome addiction, when to take the plunge into entrepreneurship, and why you want to be selective about who your clients are.

“Focus to the point where you stop doubting yourself.”

“But when you do decide to change something, It's gonna suck, it's gonna hurt, but you have to be able to embrace it, but not necessarily love it. But understand that suffering for a purpose is how we create meaning in life. It's called striving. “

Adversities Geoff Seow had to overcome:

-- Spent most of his time in “haze” duing his time at university as he suffered from drug addiction

-- Parental bullying

Abundance Geoff Seow created:

-- Grew an Instagram community from 0 to 3000 followers in 6 months

-- Realized his passion for personal development

-- Started 2 businesses

Lessons from Geoff Seow adversities

-- If your why is powerful, you will take the steps you need to take. Your commitment and your purpose go hand in hand.

-- Decide how your job is serving and whether you need it to continue serving you before making a decision to quit it.

Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail by Ray Dalio

From Women's Shelters and $700k in Debt to an 8 Figure Net Worth with REI Mom Anna Kelley

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In 10 years, Anna Kelley went from $700,000 in debt to an 8-figure net worth real estate mogul. Being in tremendous debt wasn’t the first time she hit rock bottom. As a child, she grew up in households with abusive men and had to stay in women’s shelters with her mom. Her tough childhood only made her more determined to outwork all of her friends.

“I realized that if I wanted a different life than what I had as a child if I didn't want my children to be in an abusive situation or to spend evenings in a women's shelter as I had as a child if I wanted better for myself and my family, I had to be willing to do whatever it took to succeed and to get myself out of that situation.” (08:09)

Her grit eventually landed her high-profile careers at the Bank of America and AIG. Whereas most people would just call her lucky - she disagrees:

“People say, okay, you're lucky, right? They don't understand the backstory and all the adversity to get where you are. But I do believe that when you're prepared and preparation meets opportunity - that's what we call luck.”

Getting jobs where she works with ultra-high net worth individuals opened her eyes to what’s possible in life. So, how come she got into so much debt? And how did she climb out of it?

Anna Kelley is a multifamily syndicator. She invested in her first property in 1998 and exploded in the real estate space in the last 10 years.

Adversities Anna Kelley had to overcome:

-- Grew up in section 8 housing

-- Spent evenings in a women’s shelter as a child

-- Was $700,000 in business debt with no income source

Abundance Anna Kelley created:

-- Graduated early from college

-- Worked with ultra-high net worth individuals in the Bank Of America and AIG

-- 8-figure net worth, 250 units

Lessons from Anna Kelley’s adversities

-- You have control over how your life ends up, you have to be determined to do what others won’t do to get to where you want to get to

-- Timing matters. You can be the best at what you do, but if you start a business at the wrong time, you can shoot yourself in the foot.

Josh Kalinowski: How a Professional Baseball Player

Jamie Bateman Opens Up about Personal Adversity, Mindset, and His Road to Success

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 05:00:00 -0500

With a break from the regular programming, in this episode I share parts of my story as Josh Kalinowski, former pro baseball player and now CEO, interviews me. We talk about what it’s like for me to raise an autistic son, the growth of my mortgage note business and loan servicing business, what I do to prepare myself for life’s inevitable challenges, and my goals for 2023 - all in light of some of the most important lessons I learned from interviewing more than # people on their journey from adversity to abundance.

“I think of Jocko Willink and extreme ownership - people will ask him, well, it's my fault I got cancer or something like that, and what he says is no, it is not necessarily your fault, but it's your, problem.”

“Trying to focus on others, I truly believe, will give you the most purpose and the most value in your own life.”

This episode will also air on the Leading and Living with Impact and Influence

podcast.

Tune in as Josh and Jamie talk about:

(00:00) Do sports make you a better entrepreneur?

(04:45) Why I joined (and left) the military

(07:45) How the economy affected my mortgage business

(10:02) Performing notes vs. non performing notes

(12:52) Parenting an autistic son

(17:21) How to get closer to your spouse in tough times

(23:16) What if vs. even if (mindset hack)

(26:44) How to have extreme ownership

(31:43) Why I stopped watching the news

(34:27) Why focus on others

3 nuggets from the episode:

Non-performing notes are notes where you’re buying the debt on a mortgage in which the borrower isn’t making payments. After buying the debt, you would add value so that the note reperforms and you can resell it at a higher price than you bought it to another investor. Performing notes are cash flow plays. Nonperforming notes are exit plays.
Focusing on others is a critical part of getting through adversity. It’s not enough to just focus on yourself, at some point you have to shift your focus to serving others.
Instead of asking yourself “what if” so and so happens, calmly tell yourself that “even if” something you’re dreading happens, you’ll find a way through.

Good to Great by Jim Collins

From a Surprise MS Diagnosis to Empowering Wealthy Families with Founder Shawn Barberis

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

One of the risks of being wealthy is that your children might turn out to be trust fund babies spoilt by money. Even worse, 91% of wealth transfers fail in two generations. Shawn Barberis’ technology helps families keep their money for longer. He’s one of the few people in the world who solves this problem. It took a devastating MS diagnosis for him to shift his mindset and start cracking a problem that people face.

“Prior to 2010, my entrepreneurial spirit was, let's go make money and help people. And post 2010, my entrepreneurial spirit was, let's go change the world and hopefully we can make money.”

But, building a solution that helps families build and protect long-lasting generational wealth is expensive and he had lots of naysayers along the way. There were people who told him he was wasting his time and money, and there were business partners that told him they don’t want to be part of his vision. So he started charting the path on his own.

“I believed that what I was doing was the right thing. And I believed that we were gonna impact and help families and in turn the world to help them funnel their philanthropy and get them more engaged in philanthropy.”

Shawn Barberis founded More Than Money 360 in 2007. This is the story of how he overcame his serious diagnosis, took care of his family, and built a one-of-a-kind company that’s “not on every corner”.

Adversities Shawn Barberis had to overcome:

Serious health diagnosis at 37
Dealing with business partners that didn’t support his vision

Abundance Shawn Barberis created:

Built a one-of-a-kind business that everyone calls upon for help
Discovered his true passion
Got offered an exit and declined it
Getting an unsolicited 6-figure investment
Grew his clientele from 8 in 2018 to 50 in 2023

Lessons from Shawn Barberis’ adversities:

Let your primary priority be to serve others and the money will follow

Tune in as Shawn Barberis and Jamie talk about:

(00:00) Making money by helping families communicate

(08:03) Leg stopped working while on a yacht

(13:58) 2 years of misery

(16:12) Mental journey of getting through an MS diagnosis

(21:01) Is giving your kids money bad for them?

(27:15) Unsupportive business partners

(31:41) Getting a 6 figure investment out of nowhere

(35:20) The smart move that changed everything for his company

(40:49) Rapid-fire questions

Financial Abundance through Mortgage Note Investing with Jamie Bateman

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 17:00:00 -0500

We’re all looking for ways to broaden our investments in a down market. We’d all like to keep profits trending upward despite a pending recession, so what are the options if adding new properties or more fix-and-flips opportunities are harder to find?

In this episode of Accelerated Real Estate Investor with Josh Cantwell, he’s being joined by the Founder of Labrador Lending, Jamie Bateman. Jamie became an active real estate investor in 2010 and specializes in buying and selling mortgage notes. In fact, he created a portfolio of forever passive income by acquiring over 75 mortgage notes with an excess balance of $5 million across 20 states. He’s also the host of the From Adversity to Abundance Podcast in which Josh Cantwell also graced the show a while back.

In this conversation, Jamie walks us through how he broke into this unique field, creates structures to share his profits (and risks) with passive investors, and what makes his strategy so different and allows him to scale and de-risk his portfolio.

If you’re curious about mortgage note investing, this episode is for you. And if you’d like to learn more from Jamie, simply head over to https://labradorlending.com/ebook to get a free copy of his e-book, The Power of Mortgage Note Investing!

Key Takeaways from Jamie Bateman:

- What a mortgage note is and how to invest in them for yield?

- Why investing in defaulted notes for value-add yield is a lot like doing a fix-and-flip?

- How Jamie finds mortgage notes?

- What makes investing in mortgage notes different from multifamily syndications?

- How Jamie uses partial and hypothecated notes to scale and de-risk his investments?

Finding Purpose and Riches through Serving Others with E-Commerce Expert Neil Twa

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Neil was a bit immature in his 20s. Impulse and greed were his north stars and they didn’t get him far. He married the wrong person and started charting a destructive path. After recovering from unfaithfulness and divorce, Neil met the woman of his dreams. But, not too long after they married, bankruptcy and a health crisis were waiting for him. His new wife needed medical support, and nobody was bringing in income. Expensive medical bills left him no choice but to start being innovative about how he creates income. It was at this crossroads that he realized that finding purpose in others motivates him.

“I changed from more of a greedy self-pursuit that led to those problems to more of a person who thought that there's a need that needs to be filled and I'm going to fill it because it's for someone else. When purpose changed, everything changed” (26:17)

Today, $500,000 revenue days are something Neil is used to in his Amazon FBA business selling private label products. He also helps people build a similar business model that helps them cash in an almost automated 6 figure income. So, if he were to go back there’s nothing he would change. This is the story of how his life transformed.

Tune in to uncover how being driven by something bigger than yourself can change your life and learn how you can make money building an easy exit business.

Adversities Neil Twa had to overcome:

- Divorce at 28 (and unfaithfulness)

- Business bankruptcy

- Having zero income in his family

- Wife had a health crisis

Abundance Neil Twa created:

- Created cosmetics for his kids

- $500,000 income days

- Made $630 million in sales

- Starting an acquisition firm to buy businesses as passive income opportunities

Lessons from Neil Twa’s adversities:

- “ If you're spewing negativity out in the world, you're gonna find negative people.” (12:34)

- Your adversity can make you a better person. You’re not going to mature without it.

A Country Boy’s Journey From Broke to Millions in Generational Wealth with Business Titan James Harold Webb

Escaping Abandonment and Criminal Charges to Running $100 Million Multifamily Funds with Entrepreneur Steven Libman

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

By 12 years old, Steven had experienced 5 divorces in his family and changed parents several times. At 40, he now raises real estate funds north of $100 million as a Managing Partner of Integrity Holdings Group, owns 1000 units, and found God. Throughout his life, he has been battling two conflicting beliefs: that he can do what he does better than anyone else, and the thought that he’ll never be good enough. This is the story of how he bridged the abandonment, instability, and hardship that riddled his childhood to become an entrepreneur with a self-sustaining support system.

“I'm sure if you interview a bunch of entrepreneurs, we could probably tend to agree that you become this overachiever because you feel maybe a little less than - like you have to prove it to somebody.” (20:28)

Getting charged with 7 felonies and later realizing that he was doomed to be a bad employee unfolded the chain of events that led to a life of highly profitable entrepreneurship. Steven has been running Integrity Holdings Group for 12 years. His company raises capital for large multi-family and commercial real estate projects and hands the funds over to reputable operators.

Tune in to dive into his journey from adversity to abundance and discover why he realized flipping real estate wasn’t good for him, how he reduces his tax bill and why he spends 5 figures on masterminds.

“I don't think you could talk about adversity without the benefit that comes out of it and what lessons you learned from it. I think that for me was what planted the seed of entrepreneurship - those formative years experiences, and all of those years thinking that there is this other way of life that I see And then there's this struggle and instability over here, but how do we avoid that? And is that just purely by chance, or is that tactical and intentional? And I get to determine what path I take.” (18:05)

“The lie of the world that they try to get you to believe is that it's more risky to start your own business than it is to go work for somebody else.” (34:04)

Wealth Without Wallstreet

From Divorce and Financial Insecurity to a Multimillion-Dollar Investment Company with CPA Mark Livingston

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

At 48, Mark Livingston found himself divorced with very little money to his name and nothing saved up for his kids. It was a wake-up call that he couldn’t rely on traditional savings vehicles and Wall Street to prepare him for retirement and secure a good life for his family. Instead of letting his setbacks define him, Mark used his 35 years of experience as a corporate executive and CPA to turn his life around.

After investing in land flipping and realizing that it takes too much of his time, he founded Match Real Assets - an investment management company that helps investors find lucrative passive and high-performing real asset investment deals. He’s creating opportunities for others that he previously needed himself.

His latest project involves extracting helium from natural gas by purchasing an operational natural gas field and adding value through the use of advanced helium-extracting technology. With his extensive knowledge of financial regulations and a strategic, long-term approach to investing, Mark has proven that it's never too late to start building a better future.

Adversities Mark had to overcome:

Divorce
Low net worth
Nothing saved up for his kids or his retirement
Tried to buy a business, but lost the deal
Working too much

Abundance Mark created:

Rediscovered love and remarried
Buying and selling parcels of land
Scaling his land investing business
Starting an investment management company

Lessons from Mark’s adversities

Seek out entrepreneurs and learn from them
Don’t live in a box someone else created for you, explore what you want to explore
Coaching can change your life and help you discover what you’re meant to do

Redneck Resilience: A Country Boy’s Journey To Prosperity by James Harold Webb

A Country Boy’s Journey From Broke to Millions in Generational Wealth with Business Titan James Harold Webb

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Being born to teenage parents and working for peanuts as an X-ray technician, James Webb never dreamed he’d one day be a business titan, investor, and philanthropist worth many millions of dollars.

(26:08) “There's a recording of me in high school, and if I hadn't heard of myself, I wouldn't believe it, but they're asking questions at my church about, what are you gonna do after graduate high school? And there's this little, tiny voice that says, ‘I'm gonna change the destiny of my family.’”

Tune in to unravel the tumultuous and incredible story of an underdog, who despite all odds, did indeed change the destiny of his family by starting with nothing and ending up with 33 gyms, 28 imaging centers, 1000 employees, and 10s of global business partners.

After breaking the cycle of generational poverty, he’s now set on creating generational wealth for his family that will outlive his grandchildren.

(51:26) “94% of all wealth is long lost by the third generation. That is caused by family disagreements, not by bad investments”

James Harold Webb is a philanthropist, mentor, and investor.

Adversities James had to overcome:

Born to 2 teenage parents
Fired after being a VP of 300 employees
Divorce
Held at gunpoint in Nicaragua
Became a widower
Got diagnosed with a tumor

Abundance James created:

Sold his first company for $400K
Had 7 other exits where he sold
his other companies for $94 million and $66 million
Had 1000 employees at one point
Making $800K in revenue per month before selling his company
Started 33 orange theory fitness gyms and sold them right before the pandemic
Donates 10% of after-tax profits

Lessons from James’ adversities

Health is hard to predict
Take more risks
Start early
Be resilient and find a way

The Transformative Power of Mindset with Ironman Athlete and Wellness Coach Matt Izzo

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Matt Izzo is a transformation expert, a holistic fitness coach, and an Ironman athlete. He spent most of his life being obese and depressed. He had low self-esteem and self-limiting beliefs, which held him back from unleashing his potential. Then, he transformed himself into the positive role model he is today. He went from thinking he could run only 3 miles to losing 75 pounds and completing an Ironman.

Matt is now a true leader in the fitness and wellness world. But that came only after he conquered his self-limiting mindset to gain the power and confidence to tackle his challenges. Through his ups and downs, he has realized that completing his goals isn’t the end. He needed to keep pushing forward, maintain consistency, and work towards new goals. Join Matt as he brings Jamie up to speed with his incredible story. Now Matt is focused on helping others transform themselves to live their best lives.

“You have to know how to treat yourself with unconditional love. And treat yourself with compassion for when you're not making the mark, but hold yourself accountable, demand more from yourself, and go out and execute that.”

“If you believe in yourself, are committed to something, and show up consistently, you will be successful.”

Tune in as Matt and Jamie talk about:

· Matt’s positive take on naysayers.

· His business model and goals.

· Matt’s mindset and training approach before the Ironman.

· The effect of the pandemic on his plans to compete in a race.

· Challenges he faced competing in the Ironman.

· How he overcame his struggles while running 26.2 miles.

· The next objective of his fitness journey.

· How walking can be more beneficial and healthier than running.

· How lack of self-belief holds people back.

· Why you must become your own best coach.

· The Internet can be extremely beneficial or detrimental.

· Biggest challenges in his coaching business.

· Twitter is his most valuable platform

Turnaround Management Association: TMA

From Bankruptcy to a Million-Dollar Exit with Entrepreneur Brecht Palombo

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

No one becomes successful overnight. People around us simply seem to work and work. Eventually, they succeed. Consider Brecht Palombo, the man behind the investing weekly #AltReports. In business, he has achieved great success. But his life wasn't a smooth ascent into a trajectory of achievement; rather, it was marked by many twists and turns. Brecht always worked three jobs but was never good with money. He got to the point where he got eviction notices for not paying rent and had a car repossessed when he was 21. He was good at making money but had no idea how to manage it. Brecht then decided to get into real estate. In 2008, his traditional real estate sales went down from $220,000 to $19,000, doing the same amount of work. He had all different kinds of expenses and had tons of debts with no revenue at all for a couple of years. After a year and a half, he had nothing.

Quotes:

“Instead of just getting up and grinding away the computer every day, I have to be much more deliberate in what I was doing. I would have to only do the things that mattered. That allowed other people to do what they could to run the business, which was a major letting go period for me.”

"I haven't been able to get over the feeling that now I have more money than I've ever had before, it could all disappear in a moment. It has never left me.”

Chris Seveney

Chris Seveney has certainly had his share of challenges in life. Many people familiar with Chris marvel at how he is able to get so much done.

He is all about faith, family, experiences, as well as creating opportunities, coaching, documenting, structure, marketing, and renting exotic cars.

Matty started selling candy during his high school days as his first entrepreneurial experience but was then suspended from school. He later got into party promotion and then numerous other profitable, creative businesses. He is most known for his success with car rentals, which started through Turo, a platform that allows people to list their vehicles and get access to a market of individuals who want to rent that vehicle.

At the height of what he thought was “success on his own,” he decided to step back a bit, learn the importance of accountability and humility and accept the fact that he still had a lot to learn. Also known as “Mr. Document the Process” because of his love of systems, frameworks, and processes, he is now a business consultant and coach. Matty J is a husband and a very passionate man who loves interacting and experiencing life with other people. He loves to share his knowledge and best practices for life in general.

How Financial Collapse Allowed Mark Podolsky to Create a Healthy View of Self-Worth and the Game of Making Money

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

Mark Podolsky, a.k.a. The Land Geek, joins Jamie to discuss how his world came crashing down during The Great Recession, and how he rebounded to be happier, healthy, and wealthier. Through the adversity of losing half of his income overnight and the ensuing soul-searching process, Mark realized that his view of his self-worth had been tied directly to his ability to make money. In 2008, he was living the life. He had everything he was supposed to want—the huge house, the full-time nanny, etc.--yet he found himself unfulfilled. Now, he sees the pursuit of money as a game, and he has a proven track record of consistently winning this game in a healthy way.

Mark is a husband, a father of three, a professional land investor, a financial freedom coach, and owner of Frontier Properties.

Tune in as Jamie and Mark discuss:

● Mark’s personal mission;

● what his typical week look like;

● what Mark came to realize when he experienced massive personal adversity due to the financial collapse of 2008

● Mark had been living a high-profile lifestyle, yet was unfulfilled;

● how Mark no longer ties is self-worth to money;

● how Mark discovered raw land as an asset class;

● one personality trait that is needed to be successful in business;

● how he was able to set aside his ego to find true happiness.

Dan Haberkost: Shedding a Scarcity Mindset and Finding Success in Land Investing by Age 26 > Dan Haberkost, CEO of Front Range Land, joins Jamie to discuss how he overcame the fear-based scarcity mindset he developed in his childhood and has become a successful land investor and developer at only 26 years old.

Yet, it was at the height of his career when he experienced a level of unfulfillment he couldn’t ignore.

After a few short weeks of retirement, Kevin founded Swell, a financial app that aims to revolutionize traditional banking and helps its community grow their wealth.

How Brian Davies Redefined His Purpose through Severe Health Challenges and Played for the USA Amputee Hockey Team > Former college athlete Brian Davies joins Jamie to discuss how an unpredictable illness derailed his career and led him to face the toughest physical and mental challenges of his life. He even lost his lower leg. He reveals the impact isolation can have and why it’s important to have a support system of family and friends to help us overcome the obstacles we face in life. The world offers us all a lot of opportunities and sharing our story with others is one that we must take full advantage of.

Starting with no real estate experience she worked tirelessly to build a successful real estate business that would allow her to help suffering children around the world. She shares how we all have a purpose in life, why it’s imperative that we challenge our concept of what’s normal and push ourselves to do great things that will have a positive impact on the lives of other people. She firmly believes that problems are something we can’t escape in life and should aim to learn and grow from them every day.

Still Standing, Still Smiling: How John Kriesel Lives with Purpose and Joy After a Near-Death Experience in Iraq > John Kriesel, motivational speaker at Still Standing LLC, joins Jamie to discuss how a near-death IED attack in Iraq changed his life forever.

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Maricela Soberanes, principal at Up Plex Capital, apartment syndicator and author, joins Jamie to discuss her remarkable journey from poverty and scarcity in Mexico to success and abundance in America. She shares how her real estate journey began in 2006 investing in a single-family home and has expanded into owning multiple apartment complexes (approximately 2500 doors!) across five states with her husband. Their investments into apartments have allowed them to have a greater positive impact on the lives of more people and they continue to diversify their real estate and financial investments to build generational wealth.

Dan Haberkost: Shedding a Scarcity Mindset and Finding Success in Land Investing by Age 26

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Dan Haberkost, CEO of Front Range Land, joins Jamie to discuss how he overcame the fear-based scarcity mindset he developed in his childhood and has become a successful land investor and developer at only 26 years old. Having the wrong money mindset can be crippling and he shares what’s required to override it with an abundance mindset to experience financial freedom. He’s also developed a marketing system that brings in dozens of leads for land for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar and reveals the primary advantages of investing in land rather than residential properties.

From Fat and Depressed to Healthy and Happy with Fitness Coach Matt Izzo

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Matt Izzo has lost 75 pounds. Three times. The third time something permanent happened. He underwent a holistic transformation and has kept off the weight for 5 years. What’s more, he is now training for an Ironman.

Previously, Matt was a relatable, average guy who found himself in an unhealthy, depressing environment where he felt stuck. His default mindset and focus were negative and spiraling downward. He was in a chronically negative state without even realizing it. For a while, Matt thought he hated himself because he was fat. Through the lens of hindsight, however, he came to understand that he hated himself AND he was fat. It wasn’t until Matt addressed the underlying mental and emotional issues that he was able to make a sustainable change. Five years ago, he committed to healing and getting healthy for good. And it to say he transformed himself would be an understatement.

Some of the key takeaways from this episode are:

This episode is both practical and inspirational, and it’s one you won’t want to miss!

From Victim of Extreme Poverty and Abuse to Note Investor and Zen Practitioner with Luis Miranda

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Luis Miranda is a part-time computer programmer and part-time investor. When it comes to adversity, Luis may just set the bar based on what he has been through. Luis grew up in Peru with no running water and no electricity. On top of that, he went through years of molestation and physical abuse, dealing with instability and a lack of safety and trust for his entire childhood.

Eventually making his way to the U.S., Luis bounced around as part of the foster-care system but still suffered from trust issues and a lack of direction and hope. Among other things, he turned to selling and using drugs.

Tune in to hear how Luis took ownership of his life and changed his path. He is now a married, successful W-2 employee and investor. But his path to abundance was not a straight one. Even recently, after Luis had "made it," he dealt with a serious lack of happiness and fulfillment. He is now focused on adding value to others and practicing Zen.

Brent Bowers is an active real estate and land investor, as well as business owner and coach. He is a former U.S. military officer--having deployed to Afghanistan--who now lives an abundant life by all accounts. However, Brent is not immune to hardship and has gone through his share of struggles.

In this amazing episode, we focus on mindset, a bias toward action, and the incredible importance of teamwork. This is not one you'll want to skip!

From Struggling Personally and Professionally to Empowering Others with Innovator Dr. Terrence Johnson

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 17 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Dr. Terrence Johnson is an innovator and a mental health professional. He and his business partner own iProgress, where their mission is to help individuals, organizations, and communities shift towards a path that aligns with their purpose. This episode is slightly atypical, in that it is less about investing and business and more about handling relatable adversity and serving others in a healthy way.

We dive into the passing of Terrence's father, after years of sickness, and some relationship struggles that existed there. We also discuss career adversity Terrence has faced, as well as challenges he has helped others through from a mental-health standpoint. Terrence has always been a helper, but one takeaway is that even serving others can be taken too far.

This is a practical episode with a giving, upbeat guest. Enjoy!

From a Life-Threatening Shooting and Millions Lost to Real Estate and Relationship Wealth with Fuquan Bilal

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Tue, 03 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Fuquan Bilal is an accomplished author, investor and business owner with expertise across numerous asset classes and strategies. Fuquan runs a blended fund that purchases property and adds value to many communities in the United States. Fuquan's company invests in multifamily properties, mortgage notes, single-family rehabs, etc.

In 2001, Fuquan was shot five times in a botched robbery, which he says is the best thing that every happened to him. It created a new path for him in life. In 2008, he lost $2 million of his own money and then went through a divorce and custody battle. The adversity Fuquan has faced has helped him become grateful for the little things that we often take for granted. It also helped him be less materialistic and go deeper within himself.

It Is Your Right To Be Extraordinary: Mindset for Success with Former NFL Superbowl Champion Ryan Harris

batemanjames@labradorlending.com (Jamie Bateman) — Sat, 09 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400

Ryan Harris is a 10-year veteran of the NFL. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2007 and later won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning. However, it wasn't always rings and championships for the former offensive tackle. Ryan had 9 surgeries over the course of his professional football career and has faced numerous other obstacles throughout his life. In order to overcome this adversity, Ryan learned how to develop his mindset by using mantras such as "I can, I am, I will."

He is passionate about inspiring others to reach for greatness, educating those around him about financial literacy. He believes that “It is your right to be extraordinary," and that when we embrace that right, we create positive change in the world. In his view, it is when we commit to educate ourselves, invest in our communities and act on our passions that real change happens.

Ryan played college football at the University of Notre Dame, where he graduated with two degrees, one in Economics and Policy and the other in Political Science. Ryan is a practicing Muslim, from Minnesota, and currently resides with his family in Denver, CO.
