Awesome podcast!

Yonah is a great host!

Steed Talker ,

Evolving Your Why

Excellent podcast! I enjoy how the show is about real estate but is much much more than a typical real estate investing show. It is about the people in real estate and knowing the people in the business brings a greater understanding of real estate investing. I can't recommend the show enough.
