Some years don’t just challenge you—they level you. After losing my dad and a dear friend, my body crashed, my energy evaporated, and work I love got painfully scarce. The worst part? I couldn’t name why. Steroids, sleep hacks, strict routines—nothing touched the deep, whole-body ache or the fog that made simple tasks feel like mountains. So I did the uncomfortable thing: I kept asking questions until I got real answers.

What finally clicked was a second diagnosis layered on my rheumatoid arthritis—fibromyalgia. Suddenly the relentless fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and unpredictable pain made sense. With my doctor, I started Cymbalta and doubled down on an anti-inflammatory approach to food, cutting sugar and refined carbs and trying carnivore short-term. Within days, my mood lifted and the pain dialed down just enough to start moving forward. Not cured, but hopeful. Not sprinting, but finally walking without shame.

That’s where a new motto was born: Stack Gold Bricks In 26. Each brick stands for a pillar—health, family, faith, finances, real estate deals, learning, generosity. Big wins are big bricks. Small habits are coins. Both count. I refuse to live in all-or-nothing mode that burns you out and leaves you with nothing to show. This year I’m leaning into practical education—tight YouTube trainings, focused half-day workshops, and back-to-basics real estate strategies for lead generation, fair offers, creative exits, and disciplined follow-through. The market is noisy, but the fundamentals work when you do.

If last year bruised you too, you’re not alone. Start with one brick you can place today: book the test, ask for help, prep a low-inflammation meal, or do ten minutes of focused work. We’ll build momentum together—patiently, honestly, and on purpose. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to tell me your first brick for 2026. Let’s make this the year the small wins stack into something solid.

Ready to scale beyond flips and small rentals into commercial real estate without stepping on landmines? We sit down with investor and educator Becky Lambert to unpack the blueprint: how to pick the right markets, structure safer debt, and build durable cash flow with tenants who actually stay. Becky has 16 years in commercial under her belt and breaks down the core framework with clarity—what NOI really tells you, how DSCR protects your downside, and why a 1% shift in cap rate can swing a valuation by millions.

We dig into the hidden systems that make or break deals: boilers, elevators, roofs, and power capacity. If you’ve ever inherited an old building and found out the hard way what “inspection missed” means, you’ll appreciate the playbook for due diligence that buys leverage at the negotiating table. Becky shares how to curate tenant mixes that pull traffic—think surgeons, PT, pharmacies, and synergistic retail near hospitals—and why staggering lease expirations matters more than squeezing the last dollar on day one. We also explore counter-cyclical assets like storage, the trade-offs in specialized warehouses, and how ground leases and cell towers can add surprising income streams.

For those itching to jump in, Becky explains why joining a syndication is a smart first step to learn IRR, equity multiple, and lender relationships from inside the deal. From selecting a market with real growth drivers to designing leases with escalations and creditworthy tenants, this episode gives you a clear path to move up the ladder without gambling your portfolio. If the numbers tell the truth, learn to listen—and let your strategy match what the market actually wants.

We explore how to make work optional by building cash flow that covers living costs, then scale it with tax-advantaged investments. We compare passive-sounding side hustles with truly passive structures and map a path from education to execution.

• why “mailbox money” is direct deposit cash flow that does not need your daily labor
• calculating a monthly freedom number and replacing expenses in stages
• the power of owning assets in an AI-driven economy
• vetting sponsors, markets and deal structures for syndications and debt funds
• oil and gas cash flow plus long-standing tax incentives
• how ultra-wealthy allocate to private equity and commercial real estate
• passive versus active paths depending on capital and time
• using AI to spot trends and create new ventures
• our shared belief that time is the most valuable asset
