  • Make Money for Retirement | Steve Selngut
    May 9 2025
    Steve Selengut is a seasoned investment manager and advisor with over 40 years of experience in the financial industry. He’s managed more than 325 individual portfolios across the U.S. and internationally and is now dedicated to coaching both individuals and other advisors on creating income independence. Steve is the author of “Retirement Money Secrets,” his second book, where he shares practical strategies for building sustainable income and optimizing for retirement. His expertise lies in personalized investment strategies, income-focused portfolios, and demystifying complex financial products for everyday investors. On this episode we talk about: – Steve’s early entrepreneurial ventures and lessons learned from childhood businesses – The influence of family and early exposure to investment principles – The evolution of Steve’s investment strategy, from stocks and bonds to closed-end funds – The mechanics and benefits of closed-end funds for generating income – How to build a diversified, income-focused portfolio with relatively low risk – The current interest rate environment and its impact on different asset classes – Actionable advice for both new and experienced investors looking to create passive income streams – Insights from Steve’s book, “Retirement Money Secrets,” and practical steps for retirement planning Top 3 Takeaways 1. Income-focused investing can create financial independence at any stage of life. Steve emphasizes the importance of building portfolios that generate consistent income, not just relying on appreciation or speculative gains. 2. Closed-end funds offer accessible, diversified, and often overlooked opportunities for high-yield, relatively low-risk investing. These funds can be purchased by almost anyone, require no accreditation, and can be started with modest amounts. 3. Discipline and rules-based investing-such as setting profit targets and reinvesting income-are key to growing wealth and protecting against market volatility. Steve’s approach stresses the value of taking profits, managing risk, and always looking for ways to make your money work for you.

  • Make Money with a Sweaty Startup | Nick Huber
    May 7 2025
    Nick Huber is an accomplished entrepreneur and real estate investor based in Athens, Georgia. Best known for building a $30M+ annual revenue portfolio that includes 68 self-storage properties, Nick also owns companies like somewhere.com, Bolt Storage, and RE Cost Seg. He’s recognized for his no-nonsense advice on entrepreneurship, his book The Sweaty Startup, and his focus on building wealth through practical, “boring” businesses rather than chasing flashy startup trends. Nick’s unique perspective comes from real-world experience, not just theory, making him a sought-after voice for aspiring business owners. On this episode we talk about: – How Nick made his first and most recent dollar – The importance of picking the right business “vehicle” – Why cash is king in real estate investing – The realities of self-storage and why it’s not truly “passive income” – Building businesses that solve real problems (like RE Cost Seg and somewhere.com) Top 3 Takeaways 1. Pick the right business vehicle: Success isn’t just about working hard-it’s about working smart in industries where you can win, even if you’re “average.” 2. Cash matters in real estate: Contrary to popular advice, Nick argues you need capital to succeed in real estate; “no money down” deals are risky and rare. 3. Business is a long game: Building wealth takes years, often generations. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes and focus on boring, proven businesses.
