| 10/6/25 |  From House Hacking to Neighborhood Revitalization | From House Hacking to Neighborhood Revitalization: Cameron Philgreen’s Journey to 35 Real Estate Units in Waco, Texas Cameron Philgreen did not begin his real estate career with a blueprint or a mentor—he started with a broken-down house in Waco, Texas, and a desire to offset his mortgage. By renting out his garage and basement, he turned his primary residence into a cash-flowing asset. That first step eventually led him to build a portfolio of thirty-five real estate units and purchase two city blocks of mixed-use properties for revitalization. In this conversation, Cameron shares his exact renovation numbers, his honest mistakes (including a six-figure financial misstep), and his larger vision to transform neighborhoods—not just for profit, but as a calling. From learning how to wire a house with YouTube and getting red-tagged by the city multiple times, to creating strong relationships with private lenders and contractors, Cameron’s story is filled with detailed strategies and deep purpose. Whether you are just beginning in real estate investing or ready to scale, this episode offers clear insights grounded in real experience. Guest Bio Cameron Philgreen is a real estate investor, business owner, husband, father, and follower of Jesus based in Waco, Texas. Over the past five years, he has built a portfolio of thirty-five investment properties using strategies like “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” and by leveraging other people’s capital. Cameron also owns For Keeps Coffee and Bakery in Waco, where he applies the same operational excellence and team-building that guide his real estate ventures. Through coaching, his podcast, and YouTube channel, Cameron helps others take action in business and life—without sacrificing family, faith, or purpose.

In this powerful conversation, Liz shares how she transitioned from running a multi-million-dollar craft brewery to helping contractors escape the hamster wheel of long hours, missed deadlines, and constant stress. She opens up about the mindset shifts and systems that enabled her to reclaim 30+ hours per week, and now teaches others to do the same—without sacrificing quality, profit, or control.

Now, through her Contractor’s Roundtable Program and 90-Day Contractor Operating System, Liz guides contractors in streamlining operations, increasing profit margins, and reclaiming their time.

| 8/29/25 |  Nature Always Outbuild Developers | From planting his first seeds at age six to advising large-scale developments today, Belgian landscape architect Matthieu Mehuys has built a career around one mission — proving that working with nature is not only good for the planet, but also good for business. In this episode, Matthieu shares the journey from his family’s farm to studying in Munich, traveling the globe to learn from regenerative projects, and ultimately developing strategies that help real estate developers create beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that increase property value. We discuss why stripping topsoil can be a costly mistake, how irrigation systems can create “lazy plants,” and why smart, nature-based design can outperform conventional methods in the long run. Matthieu also talks about his award-winning book 12 Universal Laws of Nature: How to Get the Most Potential Out of Your Land and how it distills his core principles for working in harmony with the environment. Guest Bio Matthieu Mehuys is a Belgian landscape architect, regenerative garden designer, and lifelong nature enthusiast. Raised on a farm, he fell in love with plants early, amazed that a tiny seed could grow into food, shelter, or a thriving ecosystem. That fascination became his calling. Driven to understand ecological systems more deeply, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture, followed by a Master’s in Landscape Architecture in Munich, Germany, where he honed the rigor and precision that define his work. Through his landscape design studio Paulownia and his online course Garden of Your Dreams, Matthieu helps people create beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that work with nature. His approach blends aesthetics, biodiversity, and practical regenerative principles to bring outdoor spaces to life, no matter the size. Believing gardens are more than just pretty spaces, Matthieu’s mission is to inspire and guide people to reconnect with nature, regenerate the land, and create thriving outdoor environments rooted in natural balance — leaving the Earth better for future generations.

| 5/21/25 |  How Blue-Collar Investors Build Wealth | Land to Legacy: Building Real Estate Success One Connection at a Time with Elijah Iung What happens when a former waste management entrepreneur transforms his network of blue-collar millionaires into a multifamily investment powerhouse? In this episode, Elijah Iung shares his journey from buying farmland solo to raising capital for value-add multifamily syndications tailored to a working-class investor base. He and Eugene discuss why “killing the deal” is often the first step to success, how Elijah evaluates operators by investing his own capital first, and why he believes time in the market—and a clear vision—are the best allies for young developers. Elijah also shares insights into development pitfalls, including why a 20-unit Michigan project didn’t pencil out despite promising incentives. Their conversation spans construction costs from Seattle to Detroit, strategies for weathering market volatility, and the underappreciated power of buying with cash in today’s climate.

Today, Elijah specializes in raising capital for value-add multifamily projects, focusing on serving a unique network of blue-collar millionaires. He is committed to helping hardworking business owners grow wealth and build generational legacies through thoughtful, passive investment strategies.
