E294: Discomfort Leads to Progress with James Stewart

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Join us on Capital Hacking as we explore the extraordinary journey of James Stewart, a successful pawnshop owner turned breathwork and cold exposure advocate. We kick things off with captivating stories from the pawnshop world, unveiling the bizarre items people pawn and the role of technology in authenticating valuables. But the real adventure begins when we delve into the profound impact of breathwork and cold exposure on our lives. James shares the science behind these practices, even guiding you through a simplified Wim Hof breathing technique. Discover the secrets to unlocking your body's potential and boosting your well-being in this transformative episode.

Key Points:
1. **Pawn Shop Operations:** James explained how pawn shops operate, emphasizing that pawn shops are primarily in the business of providing collateralized loans. They assess the value of items customers bring in, offer loans based on those items, and give customers a specified period to repay the loan with interest. If the customer doesn't repay, the pawn shop can sell the item. The business varies depending on the types of items, their market demand, and state regulations.

2. **Breathwork:** James discussed his journey into breathwork, including the influence of attending events by figures like Wayne Dyer and Joe Dispenza. He shared that breathwork, especially the Wim Hof Method, played a significant role in changing his life. He described how the Wim Hof Method involves intense, controlled breathing techniques followed by breath holds. This practice can shift the nervous system from a sympathetic state (fight or flight) to a parasympathetic state (rest and digest). The method can improve focus, reduce stress, and even influence metabolism through the activation of brown fat.

3. **Cold Exposure:** James touched on the benefits of cold exposure, which is often combined with breathwork in the Wim Hof Method. Exposure to cold water can lead to a rush of adrenaline and noradrenaline, improving focus and resilience. It also activates brown fat, leading to increased energy expenditure and fat burning.

4. **Transformative Access:** James described breathwork as a transformative access point. The conscious practice of controlling one's breath can impact various aspects of life, from managing stress to enhancing focus and overall well-being. By harnessing the power of breath, individuals can gain better control over their physiological responses and potentially transform their lives.

Quotables:
- "Breathwork is like exercise. The way you breathe can affect your physical and mental state profoundly."

- "Every time you're taking a breath, the direction of your breath, the depth of the breath, pace of your breath, and whether you're using your nose or your mouth, can all influence your physiology and

During the episode, it is mentioned that Kaitlyn joined Brian Lubin's Action Academy, indicating her participation in a coaching program or community led by Brian Lubin.

However, they soon realized that true sobriety and personal growth require replacing substance use with spirituality.

The guest explains that addiction is not solely a physical or mental issue but also a spiritual sickness, often referred to as a "soul sickness." Substances were used to fill a void and temporarily escape pain and problems. However, even after removing substances, the void remained. Therefore, replacing substance use with spirituality is crucial to address this soul sickness.

The spiritual program discussed in the episode involves embracing pain and discomfort in recovery. Instead of avoiding or numbing the pain, individuals are encouraged to confront it, identify it, and take inventory. Sharing this pain with a trusted friend or mentor is also emphasized. Additionally, the program highlights the importance of letting go of resentments and practicing honesty, openness, and willingness.

The guest and host believe that these principles of a spiritual program are not exclusive to alcoholics or addicts but should be applicable to everyone. They argue that if everyone were to adopt these principles, such as being honest, open, and willing, and letting go of resentments, it would lead to personal growth and a healthier society. Overall, the episode highlights the transformative power of incorporating spirituality into the recovery process and its potential benefits for ind

When it comes to buying real estate, it's crucial to approach it with a farming mindset rather than a hunting mentality. This means taking the time to educate yourself and establish a solid foundation, rather than rushing into the process for quick success. Just like farming, real estate requires planting seeds, nurturing them, and allowing them to grow over time. It's not an instant achievement, but rather a patient and gradual process. The episode emphasizes the importance of avoiding the allure of overnight success portrayed in popular shows.

By dedicating time to educate yourself and build a reliable team, you set yourself up for success in the real estate market.

[00:29:52] Scaling a business.

In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of setting big, audacious goals and working towards them as a way to live a fulfilling life. As entrepreneurs who have earned the ability to have freedom, they are not meant to just sit on the beach and do nothing. The speaker shares his personal experience of having to slow down for a couple of months to figure out his next move after completely killing his identity as a corporate guy. He also runs a community that helps people leave corporate America and replace it with cash flow. They begin with the vision first and do the hard stuff first, which involves creating goals that support the vision, breaking them into benchmarks, and putting themselves in an accountability pod to hold each other accountable. The speaker believes that people are starved for that level of accountability.

According to the podcast episode, the key to the story is figuring out what you want. Many people are good at working hard and making money, but it is important to know what you want in life and work towards it. The host uses the analogy of driving a car down an endless highway without any gas stations on either side. Some people may be driving a Ferrari while others may be driving a Toyota, but without knowing where they want to go, they will just keep driving aimlessly. The episode emphasizes the importance of setting big goals and working towards them, as it adds spice to life. The host also suggests that people should not be emotionally attached to the end outcome or results, but rather be emotionally attached to the inputs. In other words, people should focus on the process of achieving their goals rather than the end result.

The podcast host created a 52-hour course that focused on vision,

According to the podcast episode, successful people are usually willing to help others succeed and share their expertise. However, they are also very busy and their time is valuable. The key factor for them to invest their time in someone else is to see that their time is being used effectively. They want to see that the person they are helping is taking action and making progress towards their goals. If the person they are helping is not taking action or wasting their time, they will eventually stop taking their calls. Therefore, it is important for the person seeking help to be someone who is worth investing in and to provide value to the person they are seeking help from. This can be done by taking action on the advice given, making connections for the person, or finding other ways to add value to their life or career.

The episode emphasizes that investing in personal development and taking action on advice given by successful people is crucial for achieving success. Successful people want to help, but they need to see that their time is being used effectively and that they are making a difference. To be worth investing in, one must provide some sort of value to the other person, such as doing the things they tell you to do or making connections for them. The more successful someone is, the more willing they are to help others get there. However, busy people's time is valuable, and one cannot waste it. The only reason successful people will continue to invest their time in someone is if they see that they are making a difference and taking action on the advice given. Therefore, it is essential to take action on the advice given by successful people to achieve success.

The value-add component of self-storage investing is unique compared to other real estate investments, as it primarily involves identifying demand.

In the episode, the guest speaker explains that commercial real estate is valued based on the income approach, while houses are valued based on the comparable market approach. They clarify that if you have five houses in a row, each one is likely to be worth about the same amount, regardless of their rental rates. However, with commercial real estate, such as a storage facility, if you purchase it and increase its net operating income from $100,000 to $200,000 annually, you have doubled its value. This is because commercial real estate allows for forced appreciation through business planning. The guest speaker also notes that in the case of storage facilities, they are valued solely for their real estate value, not for any additional business value. The speaker invests in commercial real estate in the Sunbelt States and near-Sunbelt States, with a focus on conservative leadership and growing populations. They currently own six f

Kyle, the guest, began investing in real estate in 2015 while still working and consulting. He was searching for ways to generate passive income and stumbled upon real estate as a viable option. He started purchasing his own properties and continued working until around 2019 when he reorganized his finances and began living off his wife's income. This allowed him to focus full-time on expanding his real estate portfolio, which now includes 54 rental units, a wholesaling business, and property flipping. His ultimate goal is to reach a point where his wife can also leave her job, achieving financial freedom for their family.

Kyle's current focus is on building his wholesaling business, flipping properties, and acquiring as many rental properties as possible. He has already left his job and is working towards expanding his portfolio even further. He rearranged his finances and was able to live off his wife's income, which allowed him to concentrate on building his real estate portfolio full-time. His ultimate goal is to achieve financial freedom for himself and his family.

Kyle believes in trying new things and being willing to fail. He acknowledges that he tries something new all the time and feels like he fails 99% of the time. However, he believes that even if you succeed 1% of the time, you can start to do some pretty cool stuff. Kyle's business plan has grown organically, and he admits to feeling around in the dark sometimes. He has built a robust business plan that focuses on building the machine to acquire properties, rather than just acquiring them. Kyle's ultimate goal is to reach a point where his wife can leave her job.

E279: The Ultimate Investor Endgame with Marc Halpern

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 15:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Capital Hacking, host Josh McCallen interviews Marc Halpern, an expert in chemistry and private investing. Halpern shares his evolution through the world of private investing, starting from real estate and learning how to maximize his IRA to become a successful investor. He also talks about the content he created, including his expertise in phase transfer catalysis. Listeners can expect a thought-provoking and informative deep mastermind on private investing.

Marc is a successful part-real real estate investor who achieved financial freedom by doing only 1-2 deals per year as an active investor over 11 years (www.PartTimeInvestors.com). He then reached “The Ultimate Passive Investor Endgame” by transitioning out of active single-family home investing into high ROI truly passive private placement investing. He diversifies his private placements in three dimensions. For example, his self-directed Roth 401(k) is invested in 10 private placements in 7 sectors with 5 syndicators, fund managers, and project sponsors. Marc wrote two books on real estate investing and is a national speaker on the topic of successful part-time investing for pre-accredited and accredited investors.

Marc is now launching an innovative self-improvement platform called Now Be Happier that includes his latest book “Now Be Happier,” the app for iPhone “BeHappier”, the website www.NowBeHappier.com and the TEDx talk he presented in 2022 describing the first objective metric for happiness “How to Measure Your Happiness Score and Be Happier” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9MViB3tS5w).

Marc believes that financial freedom is not only about passive income but also about having the right amount of liquid assets to cover your expenses. He believes that in order to achieve financial freedom, your passive income must exceed your routine expenses, and your liquid net worth must be able to cover any special expenses you may incur.

But Marc believes that financial freedom isn't enough. He believes that in order to truly be successful, you must also be happy. He has developed a new concept called the "Ultimate Passive Investor Endgame," which is about tracking your happiness and using it as a measure of success.

Marc believes that tracking your happiness is essential for success. He believes that people should track their happiness in order to identify areas where they can improve. By tracking your happiness, you can focus on the areas of your life that need improvement and make the necessary changes.

Marc's teachings are based on the idea that happiness is the ultimate measure of success. He believes that if you are happy, you will be more productive an

“Construction costs have gone through the roof. I mean, everything's expensive right now, inflation impacts construction, too. And so it's been a major factor plus, now, of course, you have higher rates as well. So we're gonna see significantly fewer new starts this year than we saw last couple of years.” – Jay Parsons

“Job growth and wage growth equals a lot of housing demand. And that's a lot of traffic, knocking down your doors. But that really stopped in the second half of last year in most parts of the country. And so I think we're at a point now where, you know, obviously, the question is, when does it return?” – Jay Parsons

“If you're living in a property, like a duplex or a park property, where your neighbor is not who they say they are and they've not been through proper background screening, that's a risk to renters as well.” – Jay Parsons

E244: REAL Assets and Real Relationships with Russell Gray the Financial Strategist of The Real Estate Guys Podcast

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 02:25:30 -0400

Today, let’s talk about real assets and real relationships, Wall Street investing versus Main Street investing, and the concept of syndications with Russel Gray.

Real estate is a real asset. It’s as tangible and physical as gold, oil, and other things people use and depend on in the real world. On the other hand, owning a share of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are claims on wealth, but they’re not real wealth. So, invest in essential things to build a resilient real asset portfolio. And if you want to scale faster, invest in real people and unlock private capital.

Key Points from This Episode:

Russel defines real assets.
Real estate is tangible.
Stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are claims on wealth but they aren’t real wealth.
When times are tough economically, investors must focus on things that are real and essential.
Housing combined with leveraged debt is the foundation of a resilient real asset portfolio.
Russel talks about an instance when he lost control of his debt which resulted in losing control of the real estate.
Russel wrote a book entitled, “How to Hedge Against a Falling Dollar.”
How to multiply the purchasing power of your cash.
What is one characteristic Russel looks for in a business partner?
Russel shares how he and Robert Helms met and the backstory of The Real Estate Guys podcast.
A special gift for Capital Hacking listeners!
Wall Street investing vs. Main Street investing.
Main Street investing is more personal. It has a small-town feel.
Russel talks about the syndication business.
When you create a syndication business, pick your advisory team well, even if you have to pay more.
The syndication business is in dire need of ethical competent operators.
People think it’s hard to go big. But it’s actually hard to be small. When you’re small, you don’t have economies of scale.
The market is so big, there’s plenty of room for everyone.
Russel explains the concept of syndication.
In Wall Street investing, Wall Street funnels down the money to Main Street by originating loans.
The money comes from Main Street, goes through Wall Street, and comes back down to Main Street.
Main Street investors can invest directly in Main Street real estate projects through a capital aggregator or the syndicator.
A syndicator is like a banker without the regulation.

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 06:14:59 -0400

In this episode, Amit Gaglani will share why you should be part of an investor community. Amit recalls how he met Josh and secret-shopped their properties to evaluate their performance. Now, Mr. Gaglani is part of the community as the new Director of Growth for Accountable Equity!

Josh and Amit will discuss the advantages of investing in real estate over the stock market, the impact of culture within the business, the real essence of accountable equity, recession, and how to fight inflation. Listen in!

Key Points from This Episode:

One of the reasons why people like joining an investor community is they hate getting stuck in the roller coaster ride that is the stock market.
The other reason is people like the feeling of being part of something bigger where their money directly affects a community of people while earning passive income.
Investing in passive income lets you live your lifestyle at your own pace.
Passive income is automatic cash that goes right into your bank account; It is money you can see and feel, not just reinvested dividends.
Amit describes how great the organizational culture within Accountable Equity is.
Culture is the core business value that we all need to double-check.
Josh and Amit dive deep into the meaning of accountable equity.
What does the expression “the first bite of the apple” mean in a business or real estate setting?
Amit shares his thoughts on recession and inflation.
