| 11/5/25 | ![]() How the Ultra-Wealthy Invest in 2025 | Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Richard Wilson, CEO of Family Office Club, the largest investor community for ultra-wealthy families with over 7,500+ members and 16+ in-person events every year. Richard has spent 18 years studying how the richest entrepreneurs protect and grow wealth, building a global social network of 17M+ followers and interviewing billionaires to decode what truly moves the needle. In this episode, we chat about… What the ultra-wealthy are actually investing in right now Why investors are moving away from "spray and pray" diversification The rise of Bitcoin and collateral-backed deals Avoiding crowded, boring, and mediocre capital raises How mindset shifts as you level up net worth Why investors want to know you personally, not as a number The power of proximity and joining the right rooms Family Office myths vs. reality (fewer Rolex flexes than you think) Simple tools that make raising capital faster and more credible Key Takeaways: Trust beats hype. Today's capital wants security, clarity, and in-person relationships. Don't diversify blindly. Smart wealth plays offense where they know the game well. Alignment matters. Investors gravitate to founders with shared industry expertise. Materials make you investable. One-liner. One-pager. One-minute pitch video. Environment is everything. The right room can accelerate opportunity overnight. Be uniquely valuable. Say what no one else can say, that's how deals get attention.

In this episode, we chat about… Why Spain beats the U.S. in current hotel economics The hidden world of affordable castles and estates The challenges of buying overseas (and how to solve them) How the fund model protects investors Turning investments into bucket-list experiences Key Takeaways: International hotels can outperform U.S. assets in today's high-rate market Spain's boutique hotel space is undervalued and gaining major tourism traction Local experts are crucial for navigating regulations & renovations A fund approach gives flexibility when competition scoops up deals Lifestyle investments create stronger community and long-term retention Refinancing later unlocks investor capital while keeping the property Yes…you can vacation at the castle you invested in (CPA-approved trip) Resources from Mike and Nichole LinkedIn | Gateway Private Equity Group | Barcelona Hotel Fund | Nic's guide | — | ||||||
| 10/22/25 | ![]() Why Mobile Home Parks Are the Smartest Real Estate Play | Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today we are joined by Brad Johnson, Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Vintage Capital. Brad shares how mobile home park investing is quietly outperforming traditional real estate. He breaks down why this niche is attracting serious investors, the powerful tax advantages that come with it, and how it helps solve America's growing affordable housing problem all while delivering steady, long-term returns. In this episode, we chat about… Brad's journey from small rental properties to managing $3B+ in real estate deals Why mobile home parks deliver high yield and low default rates The five classes of mobile home parks and where the best opportunities are How bonus depreciation and cost segregation boost investor returns Smart due diligence tips when buying mobile home parks Why Brad shifted from operator to allocator and what that means for investors How investing in affordable housing creates both profit and purpose Key Takeaways: Mobile home parks are an underrated, recession-resistant real estate play. The stigma keeps competition low and returns strong. Tax incentives can offset a major portion of taxable income. Long-term ownership builds wealth faster than quick flips. Reliable local partners make or break success in this space. You can invest in affordable housing and still achieve strong financial growth.

Why Timberland Works: A proven inflation hedge that's uncorrelated to the stock market. The Power of the Southeast: Why this region now leads global timber production. More Than Just Trees: Multiple income streams from harvesting, farmland leasing, and recreational use. Sustainable by Nature: How responsible forestry adds both environmental and financial value. Investor Access: How Southview's five-year fund makes timberland investing accessible through Schwab. Tariffs and Opportunity: How U.S. trade policies are fueling domestic timber growth.

| 10/8/25 | ![]() The Hotel We Almost Skipped — That Tripled Our Money | In this week's episode of The Richer Geek Podcast, Mike and Nichole sit down for a quick but insightful chat about their first hotel investment, a deal they almost passed on. They share how a mismanaged Arizona property turned into a 3X return and what it taught them about timing, partnerships, and spotting value where others don't look. In this episode, we chat about… How Mike transitioned from multifamily to hotels Meeting Vic and forming a strong investment partnership Finding opportunity in a mismanaged Arizona hotel Why location and local "drivers" matter more than luxury The strategy behind selling at the right time Key Takeaways: Don't ignore unglamorous deals, they often perform best Location + economic drivers = hotel success The right partner can make or break your investment Manage smart, not flashy, focus on fundamentals Timing your exit can multiply your returns Learn through partnerships before going solo Resources from Mike and Nichole Gateway Private Equity Group | Nic's guide | — | ||||||
| 10/1/25 | ![]() Preserving Legacies Through Storytelling | What if your family's greatest stories could live on like a Netflix documentary? In this episode of The Richer Geek, today we are joined by filmmaker and storyteller Chance McClain, founder of Heritage Films. With over 800 documentaries produced, Chance has made it his mission to capture family histories, founders' journeys, and life legacies in cinematic style. From Army veteran to Broadway musicals to award-nominated filmmaking, Chance shares how storytelling preserves values across generations and why every story, big or small, matters. In this episode, we chat about… How Chance transitioned from Army service and radio to founding Heritage Films. The story behind the very first Heritage Film and how it sparked a movement in legacy storytelling. Why businesses and family farms are "characters" in founder films. Surprising, real-life stories captured on film from WWII heroes to architects with secret pasts. The evolution of filmmaking technology, from VHS tapes to drones and iPhones. The emotional impact of preserving legacies and how families actually use and rewatch these films. Why talking to older generations unlocks wisdom, humor, and life lessons we often overlook. Key Takeaways: Everyone has a story worth telling: whether you're a founder, veteran, or grandparent, your life holds lessons for future generations. Technology makes legacy preservation possible: from high-end Sony cameras to simple iPhones, storytelling tools are more accessible than ever. Hard work, grit, and values outlast success stories: the true legacy isn't just the narrative, it's the wisdom passed down. Stories change how we see people we thought we knew: a "regular" grandparent may have lived an extraordinary life. Businesses and land carry their own legacies: a company or farm often becomes a living character in family films. Connection matters more than production: while high-quality films are stunning, the heart lies in authentic conversations and memories preserved.

| 9/24/25 | ![]() Smart Tax & Exit Strategies Every Entrepreneur Needs | Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast! Today our guest is David Flores Wilson, founder of Sincerus Advisory and named an Investopedia Top 100 Financial Advisor. He helps entrepreneurs, tech professionals, and business owners maximize wealth, optimize equity compensation, and exit businesses the smart way. In this episode, David breaks down tax-saving strategies, the power of donor-advised funds, how to use real estate for wealth building, and why exit planning should start on day one, not the day you're ready to sell. If you want to keep more of what you earn and create a lasting financial plan, this conversation is a must-listen. In this episode, we chat about… How David's early experiences with family businesses shaped his career in financial planning. Why entrepreneurs need a different approach to financial planning than traditional employees. Strategies for deferring taxes and leveraging state residency for long-term savings. Understanding Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) and how it can save millions in taxes. The role of charitable giving strategies (like DAFs and charitable buyouts) in wealth preservation. Why exit planning should start when you form your business, not when you're ready to sell. How to balance wealth-building in real estate vs. stocks based on personal skills and opportunities. The emotional and identity shifts entrepreneurs face when selling a business. Key Takeaways: Entrepreneurs often need customized financial planning because most of their wealth is tied to their business. Tax deferral strategies can provide huge advantages, especially when combined with residency planning. QSBS can exempt up to $10 million in capital gains if structured correctly, an often-overlooked opportunity. Charitable giving can be structured to maximize both impact and tax benefits (e.g., bunching, DAFs, charitable redemptions). Real estate offers unique tax advantages but requires clear strategy and sometimes specialized partners. Exit planning isn't just about money, it's about legacy, lifestyle, and identity after the sale.

| 9/17/25 | ![]() Recession-Proof Wealth with Alternative Investments | Patrick Grimes, CEO of Passive Investing Mastery and internationally bestselling author, shares how accredited investors can diversify like the ultra-wealthy. In this episode, Patrick explains why litigation funding, rare earth metals, and other alternative investments can protect your wealth, create passive income, and thrive during any economic cycle. In this episode, we chat about… Patrick's shift from robotics engineering to building wealth through real estate and alternative assets Why litigation finance is a powerful, non-correlated investment strategy How accredited investors can access opportunities usually reserved for hedge funds and institutions The role of AI and automation in scaling real estate and investment operations Lessons from losing everything in 2009 and why proper diversification matters more than chasing returns The future of alternative investing: rare earth metals, strategic commodities, and commercial acquisitions Key Takeaways: Don't wait for a downturn, true security comes from diversified, recession-resilient assets. Non-correlated investments (like litigation finance or healthcare-related industries) provide stability beyond real estate and stocks. Tax efficiency is important, but it shouldn't drive your entire portfolio strategy. AI is transforming operations in property management and deal sourcing, freeing time for higher-value decisions. Scaling requires partnering and outsourcing, trying to do it all yourself limits growth. The wealthy build portfolios with balanced allocations, not by betting everything on one asset class.

| 9/10/25 | ![]() Why Curiosity Makes Better Leaders and Businesses | Curiosity can change the way we lead, work, and grow. In this episode of The Richer Geek, operations professional and entrepreneur Jon Bassford shares how curiosity shaped his career and why it's the key to building stronger teams, smarter businesses, and better results. In this episode, we chat about… How Jon went from law school to operations leadership. What it means to be a curious leader. The three shifts leaders need: mindset, operations, and culture. Google's study on psychological safety and why it matters. Stories from Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos that show the impact of curiosity. Why founders should hire outside their strengths instead of trying to do it all. How curiosity shows up in both business and co-parenting. Key Takeaways: Curiosity helps leaders move past habits and try new approaches. A culture of curiosity starts with making people feel safe to speak up. Leaders need to ask questions and not settle for "this is how it's done." Founders often waste time by hiring in their strengths instead of their gaps. Delegating low-value tasks saves energy for the work that matters most. Curiosity is not just for business, it can also improve family and personal life.

| 9/3/25 | ![]() Real Estate, Risk & Retiring Early | What does it take to retire at 44 without winning the lottery or inheriting wealth? In this episode, we are joined by Tony Lopes, CEO of Dirty Boots Capital, real estate professional, best-selling author, coach, and speaker. Tony shares how his immigrant roots, engineering background, and calculated risks in real estate allowed him to achieve financial independence and how you can apply the same principles to your own journey. In this episode, we chat about… Tony's journey from mechanical engineer to full-time investor and entrepreneur The wake-up call that shifted his mindset after being laid off at 28 Why keeping a W-2 job at first can be a powerful tool for real estate investors How to leverage 401(k) funds wisely to build your investment portfolio The psychological barriers (fear, resistance, conditioning) that hold people back from starting Tony's "swim lane" in multifamily real estate and why he focuses there The role of networking and coaching in finding opportunities and accelerating growth Building not just wealth, but a legacy for future generations Key Takeaways: Financial independence starts with understanding your expenses and creating enough cash flow to cover them. A W-2 paycheck can be an advantage, banks value stability when you're just starting out. Don't reinvent the wheel, model the success of others who've done what you want to do. The biggest hurdle is often mindset, not money, overcoming fear and resistance is critical. Networking opens unexpected doors; opportunities often come from simply sharing your goals. Legacy matters: investing in real estate can provide stability and opportunity for future generations. Retiring early isn't about quitting life, it's about having freedom to live on your terms.

| 8/27/25 | ![]() Trusts & Legacy: Why South Dakota Leads in Planning | What if your wealth could be preserved for generations, without family conflict, excessive taxes, or probate headaches? In this episode of The Richer Geek, we're joined by Antony Joffe, Chairman of Sterling Trustees, to break down the world of trusts. From South Dakota's unique laws to protecting your family legacy, Antony shares insights every entrepreneur, professional, and future planner should know. In this episode, we chat about… Antony's career journey from CPA and investment banker to building Sterling Trustees with his father. Why family trustees often create conflict (and legal risk) and how corporate trustees solve that problem. How South Dakota became the trust capital of America and what makes its laws stand out. Real-world protections trusts can offer against creditors, lawsuits, divorce, and even poor financial decisions. The role of technology and the future of trusts, from AI-drafted documents to blockchain accounting. Why entrepreneurs, especially in high-tax states like California, should consider trusts early in wealth planning. Key Takeaways: Trusts aren't just for billionaires. Even middle-class families can use them to preserve wealth and reduce probate costs. South Dakota leads the nation in progressive trust laws, offering tax advantages, asset protection, and strong privacy features. Corporate trustees provide expertise and neutrality, preventing family disputes and ensuring compliance with fiduciary duties. Trusts can be customized for flexibility, from staggered payouts to charitable giving, while safeguarding against divorces or creditors. Tech is reshaping trust management, with AI simplifying documents and blockchain promising long-term transparency. Start planning earlier than you think. Even in your 30s or 40s, a trust can protect future business exits, stock options, or inherited assets.

| 8/20/25 | ![]() How AI is Transforming Business Strategy | Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek. Today, Courtney Baker, CMO of Knownwell and host of AI Knowhow, talks about how AI is shaping business strategy and the future of work. From scaling client relationships to protecting creativity in an AI-driven world, Courtney shares how leaders can adopt AI in a way that elevates people, not replaces them. In this episode, we chat about… Courtney's career path from nonprofits to marketing leadership and AI innovation. Why AI in business strategy should focus on elevating humanity instead of replacing jobs. How Knownwell uses AI for professional services to scale client relationship insights. The shift from AI execution tools to AI as a strategic decision-making partner. Why human creativity in business and marketing still outperforms AI-generated content. The risks of over-reliance on AI in relationships and society. What leaders need to know about AI adoption, data security, and global regulations. Key Takeaways: AI helps businesses scale client relationships by turning subjective data into objective insights. Professional service firms can use AI to improve client health tracking and decision-making. Leaders who engage with AI tools now will be better prepared for future strategy-level applications. Human creativity and problem-solving remain essential, even as AI handles repetitive work. The future of AI in business will move beyond task automation toward strategic guidance. Companies and society must set boundaries to ensure AI adoption supports people rather than replacing human connection.

| 8/13/25 | ![]() Mental Resilience for Entrepreneurs: Lessons from Startup Highs and Lows | Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek. Today's guest is Mohamed "Mo" Ahmed, a serial entrepreneur, product visionary, and author of Inside-Out Entrepreneurship. Mo has built and sold multiple companies in AI and cloud computing and now helps founders strengthen the mindset needed to survive and thrive. He shares hard-earned lessons from costly mistakes, near-failures, and unexpected wins, and why your mindset is your most valuable business asset. In this episode, we chat about… Mo's shift from working at Microsoft and AWS to becoming an entrepreneur Why most founders underestimate the mindset shift needed when leaving corporate life The difference between mental robustness and mental resilience Real stories of setbacks like a surprise $65,000 AWS bill and how mindset shaped the outcome How separating your personal identity from your business identity helps you recover from failure The role of daily discipline and having a "default calendar" to stay focused Why financial conditioning matters before starting a company How to turn setbacks into opportunities, sometimes even better ones than you planned Key Takeaways: Your business will only grow as much as your mindset grows. Mental robustness means withstanding pressure without breaking; resilience means bouncing back when you bend. Separate your identity from your company, you're more than your business. Discipline and structure keep you moving when motivation fades. Prepare financially before launching a business to reduce stress during hard times. Setbacks can be turned into better deals or opportunities if you respond quickly and with the right perspective.

| 8/6/25 | ![]() Investing in Real Estate and Private Businesses for Financial Freedom | In this episode of The Richer Geek, we welcome back Bronson Hill, founder of Bronson Equity, who has now raised over $50 million for real estate investments and is a general partner in deals worth over $150 million. Bronson shares how he left a high-paying career in medical device sales to gain more control over his time through real estate investing. We talk about passive income, how investment strategies are shifting with the economy, and what true freedom really means beyond just money. In this episode, we chat about… Real Estate and Economic Shifts: Bronson discusses how rising debt costs and inflation are impacting real estate cash flow, despite strong housing demand and slower rent growth. Diversifying Beyond Real Estate: His company now invests in private businesses, oil and gas, and real estate debt funds to improve cash flow and tax benefits. Passive Investing Explained: Passive investing isn't hands-off—it requires upfront due diligence on teams and deals. It's ideal for professionals with more capital than time. Buying High-Cash-Flow Businesses: Bronson looks for scalable businesses with $1M–$4M in annual cash flow, often overlooked by larger firms. He shares an example of a nearly acquired e-commerce company with $5M in yearly profit. Own Everything, Operate Nothing: Bronson focuses on owning equity while partnering with operators, allowing him to step away from day-to-day management and focus on investor relations. Key Takeaways: Time Freedom Over Financial Freedom: For Bronson, true freedom is about having control over your time, not just being financially well-off. Networking and Education are Crucial: Bronson highlights the quote, "You'll be the same person five years from now except for the books you read and the people that you meet". He believes that education and networking are the "rocket fuel" for both passive and active investors. The "Cigar Butt" vs. "Wonderful Business" Approach: Initially, Bronson studied Warren Buffett's "cigar butt" strategy of buying struggling businesses with one puff left. However, he now prefers Buffett's later approach of buying "a great business at a fair price". Bigger Can Be Better: Bronson explains that larger deals, whether in real estate or business, can offer advantages like better teams, superior loan terms (such as nonrecourse debt), and a more attractive exit for private equity buyers. Self-Made Millionaires are the Norm: A Fidelity Investments study shows that 86% of millionaires are self-made, demonstrating that wealth-building skills are learnable and not solely dependent on being born into money. The Importance of a Strong Network: Jim Rohn's quote, "You're the average of the five people that you spend the most time with," underscores the need to intentionally seek out rooms and masterminds where you can surround yourself with people who are ahead of you and provide new insights.

| 7/30/25 | ![]() How to Exit Your Business Without Selling It | What if you didn't have to sell your business to step away from it? In this episode, Mike talks with The Real Jason Duncan, founder of The Exiter Club, about building companies that run without their owners. They dive into what it really takes to scale, create systems, and gain back time, without burning out. In this episode, we chat about… From Ministry to Millions: Jason Duncan shares how losing his teaching job led to building a multimillion-dollar business and a new definition of success. The Cost of Having No Exit Strategy: Most entrepreneurs unknowingly build businesses that can't run without them. Jason explains how this oversight almost cost him everything. Exit Without Selling: Learn what it means to step back from your business while keeping ownership, profit, and control thanks to his "Exit Without Exiting" approach. The Exiter Operating System (XOS™Method): A breakdown of the proprietary system Jason uses to help business owners transition from operator to investor and increase company value by 30%. Too Many Businesses, Too Fast: After exiting operations, Jason launched five new ventures in one year, a decision that nearly burned him out. Here's what he learned about timing and focus. The Power of Masterminds and Community: Real stories from The Exiter Club show how group strategy and peer insight helped members scale, hire smarter, and buy back their time. Key Takeaways: Your Business Shouldn't Be a Prison If you build a business without an exit plan, you might trap yourself in a job you own. Freedom requires intentional systems and structures. Exit ≠ Sell An "exit" doesn't always mean selling. Jason's "Exit Without Exiting" method shows how to stay an owner while freeing your time. Most Entrepreneurs Never Reach Tier 3 The vast majority stay in the Owner-Operator or Owner-Manager stage. To truly scale and step back, you must aim for the Owner-Investor role. Focus First, Diversify Later Don't chase multiple streams of income too early. Nail one, automate it, and then scale into others. Time is the Ultimate Currency Money is renewable, time isn't. Don't be afraid to invest money to buy back your time. Coaching and Masterminds Fast-Track Growth Jason's clients have seen massive growth, smarter hiring, and higher company valuations just by applying proven systems and surrounding themselves with the right people.
