Today, I'm joined by my incredible business partners to share the story of a very special property that we own together. We're taking you to Lake Longbow, a place that has become a sanctuary for us and our families.

We'll share how the COVID-19 pandemic brought us closer, leading us to form an unbreakable bond through shared experiences and adventures. In 2020 we rented a mansion with a private lake, finding solace in nature, sparking our desire to make such moments a permanent part of our lives. Little did we know that this getaway would ignite a quest to find a property that could encapsulate that magic.

From the initial excitement of discovering Lake Longbow online, to the reality check of its condition, our journey was filled with challenges and triumphs. We are navigating through the hard work of renovations, countless weekends dedicated to transforming the property, and the sheer determination to make our vision a reality.

Our passion for Lake Longbow extends beyond just owning land. It's about creating a retreat where our families - and hopefully others - can escape, reconnect, and build lasting memories.

We’re talking about the hurdles we faced, the moments of doubt, and the ultimate joy of seeing our children embrace the outdoors. Join us as we explore the highs and lows of this venture,

the business model we've built to sustain it, and our dreams for its future.

Lake Longbow is more than just a property; it's a testament to our commitment to family,

nature, and the pursuit of a fulfilling, grounded lifestyle. Sit back, relax, and let us take you to Lake Longbow - a place where dreams meet reality, and where every challenge is a step towards something truly extraordinary.

If you wanted to become a millionaire, and you didn't know where to start, there's one guy that I'd send you to - Michael Poggi, owner and president of the Millionaires Real Estate investment group.

Michael exemplifies the focus strategy and tactics necessary to create wealth and real estate, and he does it methodically. He's calculated and like a stand-up comedian who tested their material over and over until they slay the audience with perfect material.

Whether he's speaking, hosting a webinar, or finding deals for his clients, Michael works with a detail and lethal accuracy that I rarely see. A lot of multimillionaires that I meet are very closed off with their secrets, but Michael is an open book. He's incredibly giving, and he's one of the few people that I've met, whose heart is bigger than his wallet.

I met Michael at an event in Sarasota, Florida, when he was speaking about an investment strategy, and how to make money investing in quarter-acre buildable lots in resort communities. The community that he was referring to was right in my backyard, and here was a guy who was not from around here who had a strategy that was earning him millions each year, and no one around me, including me, was doing this. In addition to his vacant lot strategy, he invests with his self-directed IRA and he's been doing that for years. He can help people build wealth tax-free using none of their own money.

This is a podcast that I've been wanting to record for over a year, but it's one that I desperately wanted to do in person because I can tell that there's more to Michael, than his powerful suits and strategies. It took me a while to get him to Branson, but he came and shared this strategy at one of our live training events. We went into the studio and we put this episode together for you.

He's one of the most genuine and giving men that I've ever met, and he shares with us a taste of that strategy, as well as the forces behind his career, the influential family that pushed him in the right direction, the major successes he's had as a stockbroker and the dot com era, and some of the major failures that he's had as an entrepreneur as well. Michael's ability to come back to life after a major setback, make a mint, and share that strategy with us - in my eyes makes him a hero. They say you're not supposed to meet your heroes but I'm friends with mine. Enjoy!

One of the hot topics in real estate right now is affordable housing and whether or not builders can meet this demand. Right now, 3 million people are turning 30 each year for the next 25 years and the income gap isn't getting any smaller. We need houses. Not just workforce housing but resorts, hospitality, luxury, and another category growing in popularity is life off-the-grid.

One phenomenal entrepreneur working hard to fill this demand is Chloe Millard. She's a high-energy, luxury marketing specialist with container home technology that is worth taking a look at. I've been in real estate for nearly two decades, and I've seen people attempt to solve this niche with container homes, but the challenge always seems to outweigh the effort.

You can't finance them with Fannie or Freddie or FHA, and in some cases, you can't get a loan at all. Do they appreciate stick-built homes? Or are they classified as modular? Zoning regulations shut them down all the time because they're new and different.

Chloe and her team are changing all that. They're finding a way forward and she shares some of those secrets with us today. You'll learn about that and have the opportunity to connect with her more.

What I was most fascinated by were two side conversations that I had a hard time letting go of. One, as a first-generation entrepreneur, Chloe and I are both Midwestern suburban-raised kids with no entrepreneurial support group, and we found ourselves in this race to lift our careers among a sea of pirates, tax collectors, and madmen. I mean, take away the security of a well-paying job and all bets are off. It's hustle or hell-in-a-handbasket and choosing the life of a business owner can be taxing on your spouse and family. I was so thankful that she shared the sacrifices that so many of us have had to endure and don't ever talk about. She's made more than a few. And she also shared what life was like as a female founder.

I see this phrase mentioned and even celebrated but if I'm being honest with you, I don't know why. I'm a dude; to me, work is work. I mean, how much different can it be for a woman than a man in business? So I dug in and asked why.

Wow is all I can say. I have a real understanding and newfound respect for women and the challenges that they face that I will never have to face. She takes it all on with grace, enthusiasm, and style that can captivate a room because she's smart and experienced; she knows what she's talking about, which is finally what we need in this niche.

We’ve interviewed a lot of seasoned pros from a variety of different industries to help you identify those little recipes for success. Like a cocktail, it’s made with a dash of this and a squeeze of that and has become so popular over time that it gets its own name. You ask for it, and you expect it to be good, but each restaurant or bar or private party may have their own spin on it. But hey, an old fashion is an old fashion. It fits the occasion.

Today, we’re drinking the Worley Real Estate Network’s special reserve, that fine-aged spirit that comes with grit and a punch in the nose. It’s complex but refreshing and it leaves you with a sophistication that you didn’t know you could ever achieve. When people see you holding that glass, they say, dang, I should have ordered one of those. What’s interesting about this episode is that we put a spritz of Vrolio in there. Data science, mentorship, and coaching, and when you combine all of that with a real estate agent as smart as Candice Amundson, you get results.

Candice is smart. She’s detailed, takes time to learn and understand things, and has the courage to share her knowledge with whoever will listen. It’s a beautifully lethal combination and it’s landed her with leads and lots of them. Candice has a story that’s very special to me. She recently had the courage to leave an abusive relationship, move her son away as a single mom, and start her business. She started as most agents do on a team or with good intentions, but soon realized that she was built for more and made the decision to specialize in working with investors. She joined WREN, a.k.a. Worley Real Estate Network, and the Vrolio data tool and has accomplished in months what many agents take years to do.

In the last 30 days, she’s been invited on six podcasts, has become the thought leader for investment acquisitions in her market and sent me a text recently showing me one investor who has millions to deploy and wants to buy five properties now. Listen, you can watch the news and freak out about what’s going to happen in this industry or you can be like Candice. She’s kicking butts and taking names because she’s so giving, so smart, and is proving her value. That’s worth every dime of the money that you’d pay her. In fact, you’d be crazy not to do business with her.

Here’s the thing. As mentors and coaches, we cannot take credit for success. We lay the highway and our students do the driving and it’s my honor and privilege to share this data-backed investor agent with you. She’s a super positive person who starts her day with gratitude and a relentless drive to win. Her opinions are based on facts. And if you’re an investor looking to invest in Minnesota, you can stop looking because I found your agent. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to my friend, Candice.

I would like to introduce you to somebody that has a very meaningful life philosophy. And that Mantra is “Stop being disgusted with your life and start doing things that matter”. That alone will create a broad smile that is a billboard that will attract people and opportunities like you have never seen in your life. An example of this is coach Katie. She moved across the country and expanded her business in a new town where she didn't know anybody. She had the conviction to raise her standards to do things like stop drinking alcohol forever and to start doing things. Someone with a great smile and a sunny disposition and all of these were created intentionally even down to the place where she wakes up every morning she chose Florida because even when it's raining it's sunny she says and she realized that that has a positive effect both on her environment and her attitude and both matter and the combined to create a recipe for success.

Coach Katie is a rockstar entrepreneur, mother of two, and award-winning business coach and will help you recover from burnout to live a life you love. Katie is also referred to as "Katie the Mortgage Lady" and has been a top producer helping over 1,000 families while originating over 200 Million in loans.

I found myself, recently, in a conversation with a guy about scotch. The different types, how they taste and I was probing to see if we had a similar palate. I was recently gifted a bottle of Dalmore 12 year for my birthday and was looking for a conversation to match the malt.

Boy did I strike gold with, Mitch Russo.

Honestly, I didn’t know much about Mitch when I started the conversation, I just knew that he was attentive, detailed, and brilliant. When I started to drill down into the vault of Mitch’s life he was very giving with the details, the meaning, and the method he used to go from a drug-addicted band member with budding leadership skills to becoming a two-time nominee for Entrepreneur of the Year, a seasoned multi-company founder with two exits and hundreds of past clients.

There is a recipe for success in there and this one, you’ll want to sip slowly, because Mitch is an excellent storyteller and you won’t want to miss the fine details.

Mitch is widely commended by industry icons such as Jay Abraham and also Tony Robbins, who trusted Mitch to lead his partnership with Chet Holmes from 5M to over 25M in sales. Currently, he helps ambitious businesses scale rapidly by helping them turn clients into ambassadors who generate recurring revenue for their companies.

This is life and business shaken, not stirred. It’s real, heartfelt and loaded with exciting and interesting turns. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did. It’s full of shady characters, bad decisions, a mom’s strong and endearing love. Major failure, major success, a story you’d pay to see on the big screen…it is Mitch the extended edition, directors cut and

it is worth every second.

Clear your midafternoon for the maestro of mindful guidance, Mitch Russo
