"Most success comes from doing the boring things well—here’s how to stick with them."

We’ve all chased shiny shortcuts, only to realize the real magic happens in the daily grind. This episode cracks open the unsexy habits that separate dreamers from doers—like cold-calling when no one’s watching, underwriting deals that won’t close for months, or waking up early not because it’s trendy, but because it aligns with your North Star.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why "1% better every day" fails if you’re measuring the wrong metrics
✅ How mundane habits (like tracking load boards or underwriting 5 deals daily) compound into life-changing results
✅ The counterintuitive link between specialization and freedom (hint: stop trying to do everything)
✅ What Kobe Bryant and trucking dispatchers have in common—and why systems beat motivation every time

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the "middle grind" of business or life, this is your reminder: the long way is the shortcut.

What if your North Star was so clear that every decision—career, family, even a risky move to a new city—aligned with it?

In this episode, we sit down with Spencer, a commercial real estate developer and co-founder of Oak Multifamily Brokerage, who turned a leap of faith (and a 90-day South American adventure) into a blueprint for building freedom—both financially and creatively.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ From Journalism to Skyscrapers – How a degree in journalism led to cold-calling Omaha’s real estate scene—and why "no" became fuel.
✅ The Four Buckets Rule – Creativity, wealth, community impact, and family flexibility—the non-negotiables behind every deal.
✅ Why Omaha? – The moment a downtown office view revealed a city ripe for reinvention (and why grain silos are now luxury apartments).
✅ Brokerage Boot Camp – Lessons from $0 commission years: integrity pays, bad partners cost, and how to turn coffee meetings into a $230M pipeline.
✅ The Silos Project – How a walk along a neglected trail sparked a 230-unit development—and the mindset shift required to ignore the "just sell it" noise.
✅ Raising Future Builders – Why his kids already know the word "skyscraper"—and how to instill a "no limits" work ethic without burning out.

Freedom, to Spencer, isn’t passive income—it’s the resources to act on any idea and the flexibility to chase adventures with his family. If you’ve ever felt behind or doubted your pivot, this conversation is proof: urgency + aligned action = momentum.

Listen now—then ask yourself: What’s your North Star?

We don’t talk politics for the drama—we talk policy for how it affects you. In this episode, we unpack what’s really going on in the economy beyond the headlines—from tariffs and tax strategy to real estate moves and interest rate games.

If you’ve ever felt like the economic levers are out of your control, this convo will help you see how the system works—and how to work within it to build real, lasting freedom.

We get honest about:

• How government incentives actually work (hint: they’re not loopholes)
• What rising and falling interest rates mean for everyday investors
• Why real estate still makes sense (even with higher rates)
• The real reason inflation exists—and how the wealthy use it to their advantage
• Why we’re taxed to earn, taxed to spend, and taxed again—and what to do about it
  
  
  

📌 Key Topics:
✅ The purpose behind tariffs and why they can benefit local business
✅ Why bonus depreciation is more than just a tax perk—it’s a growth strategy
✅ The inflation-interest rate tug of war (and where we think it's heading)
✅ How to move your money with intention—not fear
✅ The case for keeping your cash in motion, not in hiding

There’s no need to obsess over the news—just learn to watch it like a strategist.

Here’s the trap most leaders fall into: they delegate a problem and think they’ve led. But when things go sideways, they point fingers instead of owning outcomes.

Let’s be real—handing something off isn’t leadership. And when you delegate too early—or to the wrong people—it doesn’t create freedom, it creates chaos.

In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: real leadership starts when the excuses stop. We break down the difference between delegation and deflection, how extreme ownership reshapes your company culture, and why skipping leadership development is the most expensive mistake you can make.

We walk through the four levels of delegation, how military structure drives business clarity, and why you can’t expect $200/hour results from $20/hour thinking. You’ll hear real examples of what works, what breaks, and how to lead through both with intention.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why most delegation fails before it even begins
✅ The $200/hour mindset shift most business owners miss
✅ How military structure creates clarity and buy-in
✅ The cost of skipping leadership development
✅ Why the lid on your business is often you

You don’t need more hands—you need more ownership. And it starts with you.

Playing It Safe Might Be the Riskiest Thing You’re Doing
We were told to follow the rules: get the job, play it safe, save what you can, and hope it adds up to freedom someday. But what if that path is actually keeping us stuck?

In this episode, we talk with someone who stopped coasting. Andrew was living the “smart” financial life—until he realized comfort was costing him control. Now? He’s building a life of freedom on purpose. From buying his first multifamily in Omaha to managing an 8-bedroom co-living space in Austin, he’s not chasing some get-rich dream. He’s building systems, making real decisions, and playing the long game—with clarity.

We unpack the wake-up call that shook him, the $44K mistake that taught him, and the mindset shifts that freed him.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why playing it safe can quietly drain your future
✅ The high price of hiring the wrong contractor
✅ How a rent-by-room model created consistent cash flow
✅ What it takes to run properties while keeping your day job
✅ How clarity and control beat hustle and hype

Freedom doesn’t come from more comfort—it comes from making moves that matter.
