Jim Oliver sits down with Brett Swarts to tackle the part of exiting most owners ignore until it’s painful: Taxes. Brett is the founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, a real estate broker and tax strategy specialist with deep expertise in Deferred Sales Trusts (DST), Delaware Statutory Trusts, and 1031 exchanges. He hosts the “Build It to Billions” and “Capital Gains Tax Solutions” podcasts.

Together, Jim and Brett lay out how purpose-driven entrepreneurs can engineer an exit that prioritizes tax flow, converts to truly passive income, and preserves control and flexibility.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most CPAs “report the score” and how a true tax strategist changes outcomes

• Tax flow vs. cashflow: deferring cap gains to compound what would’ve gone to the IRS

• A “2.0” exit for larger deals: using a Deferred Sales Trust for cap gains and estate tax planning

• When 1031s become a “shotgun wedding”—and smarter blends (partial 1031 + DST + cost seg)

• How to define and build TPI (truly passive income) so your time, not the asset, drives your life

Action Steps:
1. Build the Exit Blueprint
Quantify net proceeds, gain, debt, and estate exposure. Set a clear monthly TPI target before signing an LOI.

2. Upgrade the Bench
Add a tax strategist alongside CPA/attorney. Evaluate DST, partial 1031, bonus depreciation, and insurance—pick tools, not dogma.

3. Allocate for TPI
Diversify post-sale capital into vehicles that deliver durable, hands-off cashflow while keeping optionality for future deals.

Brett Swarts’ Final Word
“Truly passive income is to your freedom and impact what compounding interest is to your money. Lead with tax flow—and let it compound.”

Most people wait for perfect conditions and call it “planning.” That’s just stuck.

In this conversation, Mark Young, an entrepreneur, educator, author, and functional doctor, joins Jim to break the addiction to comfort, reframe failure, and get back to ownership. We hit health, wealth, and work: why public goals matter, why cashflow beats accumulation, and how to use AI as a collaborator (not a crutch). If you’re serious about building your Wealth Engine, this one’s about action, not consensus.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why momentum beats “getting ready to get ready”, and how to act before everything is perfect

• The real fear behind inaction: public failure and tying your value to others’ opinions

• How “do hard things” compounds in health, business, and wealth—discipline creates predictable outcomes

• Cashflow > accumulation: stop outsourcing your financial future to Wall Street narratives

• How to treat AI as a collaborator to upgrade decisions in health and money (without letting your brain atrophy)

Action Steps:
1. Own One Hard Thing Today
Pick a single uncomfortable action (call the prospect, publish the post, book the consult). Do it before noon. Momentum is a decision.

2. Make It Public
Choose one measurable goal and share it with your circle (deadline included). Public commitments kill excuses and create follow-through.

3. Shift from Accumulation to Cashflow
Audit your plan: Where does monthly cashflow come from? Map one move to increase it (IBC policy design, a small real-estate cashflow play, or a skill that raises your floor).

Mark Young’s Final Word:
“Curiosity begets curiosity. Ask better questions, do hard things, and use AI as your collaborator. The harder I worked, the luckier I got—and proximity creates opportunity.”

In this episode, Jim sits down with real estate pro turned relationship operator, Jarrod Guy Randolph. They talk straight about access to wealth and why your phone is a graveyard of unrealized capital. They break down Jarrod’s “Buying Favor” operating system, the FAVOR network map, why most masterminds are wasting time, and how humility beats ego when you’re leveling up.

What You’ll Learn

• Why the saying “your network is your net worth” misses the real key: activation

• How Jarrod’s FAVOR framework (Friends, Associates, Vendors, Organizations, Relatives) becomes a roadmap to deals, capital, and growth

• Why proximity creates access, and access creates knowledge that can’t be learned in a classroom

• How the most successful entrepreneurs lead with humility, not ego—and why giving comes before asking

• A proven system to make masterminds profitable: host the room, follow up fast, and become a center of influence

Action Steps
1. Map the FAVOR Five
Entrepreneurs can list three to five names under each category of FAVOR. Each name should be tied to a specific ask, whether it’s insight, a connection, or capital.

2. Practice Give-Give-Ask
Before making any ask, add value twice. Share a resource, make an introduction, or help solve a problem. On the third touchpoint, make a high-value, aligned request.

3. Host the Room
At the next event or mastermind, book a dinner with 10–12 attendees. Curate the group, build real connections, and follow up within 14 days to keep momentum alive.

Jarrod Guy Randolph’s Powerful Word

“Your phone isn’t a contact list—it’s a balance sheet. The moment you learn to activate it, you unlock the capital, the partners, and the opportunities you’ve been sitting on.”
