In today's episode we have multiple guests on the show! Coming into to speak with us are Dave and Jess Sotelo with Innova Construction and filling in for Pat we have our good friend and multiple time guest Remington Knight! Dave and Jess met around the time of the pandemic when they saw their paths collide in St. Louis. Recognizing the amazing real estate market we have here, they decided to push all their chips into their own construction company and now are the proud owners of dozens of doors in our local area! Through trial and error and the right coaching, they've still yet to lose money on a deal and they give us all the fundamentals of how they've done it here!

In today's episode we are pleased to bring you another Adventure Unknown contemporary in our good friend Jeff Fillers! Jeff has a wild and crazy story that we can't wait for you to hear. A cyber security professional, Jeff had a run in with the law a few years back in Oregon before the cannabis industry was what it is today legally. This led to house arrest, a full blown prison stint, probation, and now years later he's living life on his terms and enjoying his freedom and prioritizing time with his family. Jeff's story reminds us that we are the sum of our decisions and that time is a resource we can't afford to take for granted.
