    Episode 47 - Powerful Insights from a Motivational Speaker (Manager), Jeanette Fernandez

    Episode 47 - Powerful Insights from a Motivational Speaker (Manager), Jeanette Fernandez

    Jeanette is the co-founder of a "motivational" speaker management agency - representing the most highly influential thought leaders of our time. She co-founded the company in 2017 and has been in the business for over 10 years. 

    In previous years, she managed Chicago’s premiere indie-house music record label, overseeing business affairs and negotiating worldwide licensing, recording and publishing deals.

    She also opened a restaurant (insane idea, I know) in Chicago, which served worldly, street food & sponsored cultural events. Shortly after shutting those doors, she took a brief hiatus to rediscover a meaningful work-life balance.

    She is blessed to be surrounded by everyday people living courageously. Whenever possible, she volunteers her time toward initiatives that empower communities, raises & release monarch butterflies & bakes killer cookies - and possibly drives her teens crazy.

    Episode 46 - The Passive Road to Retirement w/ Andrew Jarrett and Nic Cooper

    Episode 46 - The Passive Road to Retirement w/ Andrew Jarrett and Nic Cooper

    Andrew Jarrett is a native of Western New York, where he was part of numerous profitable redevelopment opportunities on single-family homes. He founded a property management company that managed single-family and multifamily units. He sold the company and shifted his focus to acquiring smaller multifamily and single-family investment properties in Western New York.

    Andrew currently holds several hundred rental units in this market with in-place management and maintenance teams. Andrew is also a #1 Bestselling author and the host of “The Passive Road to Retirement” podcast. He scaled his investments to the acquisition of large Multifamily apartment complexes. In the past two years, he has gone “full cycle” on several hundred units in Florida and Georgia.

    Nic Cooper saw the power of cash-flowing assets with his single-family rentals but was ready to scale. He sold his remaining single-family rentals in San Diego and got his wife, Jamie on board to reinvest in real estate on a larger scale.

    Together they purchased a 24-unit apartment complex in Ohio to create passive income.  In the first year, they optimized systems and as a result, more than doubled the property's value!  They saw first-hand the power of multifamily real estate investing as an opportunity to create passive income and build wealth for their family. 

    Nic brings a pilot’s precision and analytical mind to multifamily real estate with over 22 years as a military helicopter pilot. At present Nic owns 172 units in TX, AL, OH, and VA with $11.3MM assets under management.

Awesome host, equally great content!

RJ is super insightful and has the ability to get guests vulnerable. You can tell he does a ton of research before his episodes and his guests have a great time speaking with him. This is a must listen for entrepreneurs.

True to its Title

This is a GREAT quick listen that puts you in the same frame of mind you get from reading any of the best self betterment books out there. Very relatable, too, for any entrepreneur in their 20s and 30s who are still working their 9-5s and are looking to listen to someone that came from a similar background as them!
