Today’s a special episode featuring the author of a book we can’t get enough of: Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen by the man, the myth, the legend – Steve Sims.

Who is Steve, anyway? Well, he’s a former bricklayer and bouncer-turned-entrepreneur who uses a unique mindset and blend of skills to creates once-in-a-lifetime experiences for billionaire clients.

Experiences like: getting married by the Pope in the Vatican, having a private dinner at the feet of Michaelangelo’s David statue, or going on an underwater tour of the Titanic shipwreck.

And here’s the thing: as you’ll hear in this episode, Steve’s not a silver-spoon, high society type. He’s just a regular guy who chooses to think and act differently, consistently. And after this episode, you’ll be able to “Bluefish” your way into more relationships, more private money, and ultimately more deals!

We talk about “leading with value” when approaching mentors… blah blah blah. Today, you’ll hear a refreshing new twist on that concept, and learn actual tactics you can put into practice to make more connections and level up your life today.

One final note: Steve uses some colorful language in this episode; please take note of the “Explicit” label, and listen to this one when the kiddos aren’t in the backseat 🙂

Ever wonder how your family would manage if you or your spouse lost your job? Emma Powell faced that reality head-on. She knew she needed “full-time income” while continuing to spend time with her family… and she knew real estate investing would be the vehicle to get her there.

Today Emma shares her journey from part-time photographer to multifamily dealmaker – how she got in the game by joining a REIA and immediately loaning money to an experienced investor (we discuss the right and wrong way to do this); her #1 piece of advice when meeting with a potential mentor; and her foray into the world of lease option (“rent to own”) deals.

Plus – Emma shares her perspective on how to choose a niche that suits your strengths (wholesaling wasn’t for her; syndication and bigger commercial deals were a better fit).

This is an inspiring story of someone who experienced a financial wake-up call, and went from total rookie to syndicator in just a few years… all while homeschooling 6 kids. Enjoy this one, and we’ll see you again on Sunday!

Want to think like a high-level investor and business owner who is seizing the moment and enjoying his best year ever? Listen up!

Former Oakland A’s baseball player (and show 292 guest) Ryan Pineda steps back up to the plate today… and he delivers a detailed breakdown of how he’s using TikTok, Youtube, billboards, and TV commercials to generate an avalanche of leads in the Las Vegas, NV market.

Ryan’s team flips and wholesales 100 houses a year… but because he’s set them up according to the EOS/Traction system, he spends just 3-4 hours per week running things!

Sound good? Well, a lot of hard work went it.

And in this episode, you’ll hear the journey firsthand: from exactly how each member of Ryan’s team handles a transaction, to why they keep a visual scoreboard in the office, to how he had to shift his mindset after realizing he was the bottleneck holding his business back.

Don’t this miss one this one, and leave us (and Ryan) a comment in the show notes over at biggerpockets.com/show407.

“Systems, People, and Positive Vibes” are what powers Shelby Osborne’s business, and today she breaks down exactly how she’s used those 3 forces to go from 0 to 51 units in just a few years.

Shelby shares how she boils everything down into checklists and automated reminders, so she can focus more energy on revenue-generating activities.

Plus, she shares a combination word that’s right up there with “liger,” “bromance,” and “Bollywood”: the “BRRRR-nB.” In her Deal Deep Dive, she reveals how she picked up a foreclosure property, transformed it into an Airbnb to generate big-time cashflow, and expects to pull all her money out so she can do it again and again!

A former U.S. Army captain, Shelby is a serious go-getter and you won’t help but be energized by her “no excuses” approach to life – colorful language and all 😉 Oh, and before you leave this page be sure to check out her checklist for startup your own real estate meetup below!
