    Join us as we celebrate our 50th episode on the Real Life Investing Podcast. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without our listeners, our virtual assistant Ricel, and the incredible guests who shared their wisdom and experiences. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on our journey, highlighting the transformative impact of the 75 Hard program, with inspiring stories from Nicky De Leon (Ep #8), Jon and Keira Quintero (Ep #15), Paige Henneman (Ep #33), James and Mhariel Stirgus (Ep #46), and many more. Each of their personal growth journeys have been nothing short of inspiring, and we are grateful to share them with you.

    From house hacking to dream homes, we also dive into the personal tales of real estate success stories. We recount Tim Botsford's (Ep #14) leap into an investment property, Brian and Ashley DeSimone's (Ep #20) house hacking partnership, and Levi and Lindsey Kane's (Ep #16) pursuit of their dream home. These stories emphasize the importance of transparency and vulnerability, not just in real estate but in all aspects of life.

    As we look to the future, we remain committed to discussing important and sometimes taboo topics, encouraging authentic and relatable dialogue. Influential conversations with guests like Dave & Amanda Lee (Ep #47) on Faith, Family, and Freedom, Leslie Dirnberger (Ep #45) and Kate Salas (Ep #48) on homeschooling, and Melyssa Garten (Ep #41) on her experiences in China and her family business have enriched our podcast journey.

    As we reflect on these impactful episodes and look forward to the next 50, we thank you for being a listener! Here's to continuing these meaningful conversations, learning from diverse perspectives, and investing in real life together!
