​WHAT I'M WATCHING

$230,000 Embezzlement - The full story

Have you seen this story? Catherine Lavery, of Best Self Co, had $230,000 stolen from her—by someone she knew and trusted. It's such a crazy story, and I really respect Catherine for being so up front and honest about it. She also shares the guardrails they've put in place since then to protect against it.

My entire real estate philosophy in a tweet

I see so many people talking about flipping houses—I think it's because of HGTV shows—but I think the real value comes from buying and holding:

Nathan Barry @nathanbarry My real estate strategy: Buy 1 property per year. Never sell. Repeat for 30 years. Sure, you can make money on a flip, but I much prefer building equity, appreciation, and cash flow by holding for the long term. September 8th 2021 25 Retweets 453 Likes

Now not everyone can do that pace, but core the idea of staying consistent for decades applies in any industry.

PODCAST I WAS ON

Vested Capital

I was recently on Yaro Stark's podcast and had a great time talking with him. It's a really wide ranging interview so if you don't know much about me, and want to hear the whole story, this is a good one to tune into. Did you know I dropped out of college at 17? I'm still happy with the decision, but it might not have looked smart at the time.
