In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. Erin Wilson, a powerhouse in leadership development and the creator of the "NAP Framework" for strategic rest. Together, they unpack relationship intelligence—the "million-dollar skill" that separates effective leaders from forgettable ones—and why rest is not a reward, but a strategy.

Dr. Wilson shares how leaders can use relationship intelligence to connect, communicate, and collaborate at a higher level by understanding what truly motivates people. She also discusses her framework for strategic rest, how to use it to unlock creativity and performance, and why most of us get motivation wrong.

What You'll Learn:

1. Rest is a performance tool. The NAP Framework turns rest into a scheduled advantage that improves clarity, creativity, and leadership capacity.

2. RI vs. EI: Emotional intelligence is internal awareness. Relationship intelligence operationalizes it so you actually get results with people.

3. SDI in practice: People are primarily motivated by People, Process, or Performance (usually a blend). Speak to their driver and watch resistance drop.

4. Common leadership mistakes:

   • Assuming others are motivated like you.

   • Confusing silence with agreement.

   • Forcing everyone to play by your rulebook.

5. Manager playbook: Hire experts → clear roadblocks → tailor comms → measure results.

1. Map motives: List your top 5 direct reports; tag their likely primary driver (People / Process / Performance).

2. Schedule rest as strategy: Book two 30-minute regeneration blocks (think sauna, walk, prayer, meditation). Protect them.

3. Adopt the NAP Framework: Nurture, Assess, Prioritize rest as a leadership advantage—not an afterthought.

Dr. Erin's Powerful words:
"Rest isn't what takes you out of the game—it's what makes you play smarter." — Dr. Erin Wilson

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, host Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. John Oberg, founder of Priscina Health, a behavior expert, and a healthcare innovator, to explore the direct link between health and wealth. Dr. Oberg's mission is to help people take back control — of their bodies, their decisions, and their outcomes — through a philosophy he calls "radical incrementalism."

Together, they unpack how small, sustainable habits compound into life-changing results — in fitness, finances, and freedom. From reversing Type 2 diabetes to understanding your "why," Dr. Oberg's approach blends data, behavior science, and compassion to help people get healthy for good.

• Why "radical incrementalism" works: how small, consistent changes beat massive, unsustainable overhauls.

• The health-wealth parallel: why both require discipline, patience, and a personal "why."

• How to find your right mountain: stop climbing the wrong goals — in business, health, and life.

• The hidden cost of being unhealthy: why illness drains both your bank account and your purpose.

• Building trust through small wins: how one patient lowered blood sugar 100 points by just changing ice cream.

1. Start smaller than you think.
Change one thing — one habit, one food, one thought — and let momentum build.
2. Find your "why."
Your reason must be bigger than your resistance. Write it down. Revisit it weekly.
3. Move more, move right.
Wherever you are, do a little more. Choose real food over processed. Repeat.

"You can't fix the system overnight — but you can fix your habits today. Don't wait for perfect conditions. Take one radically small step toward the life you actually want."

Action Steps:
1. Map Your Horizon & Cashflow
Decide your hold period (5–10+ years) and set a monthly cashflow target that makes you work-optional.

2. Run SAFE on Your Next Deal
Vet the Sponsor first, then Asset, Financials, and Exit. If any letter fails, pass and keep your powder dry.

3. Choose Your Lane
Active: commit to learning, mistakes, and reps. Passive: piggyback a proven operator's network (fund-of-funds, co-GP) to diversify now.

Tom Dunkle's Final Word
"Little, consistent decisions compound. Pick your horizon, partner with the right 'who,' and let time and cash flow do the heavy lifting."

In this episode, Jim brings on Tom Dunkel, founder of Eagle Capital Investments, co-founder of U.S. Mortgage Resolution (11k+ loans transacted), real-estate investor, and author of The Wealth Builders Playbook. Tom left the "corporate penitentiary," got bloodied in '08, then built durable wealth across distressed mortgage debt, self-storage, STRs, and a fund-of-funds platform.

They break down why "now" is always the right time if your horizon is long, how to own the paper when bricks are a pain, and how to evaluate deals with his SAFE method so you compound without blowing up.

What You'll Learn

• Why headlines aren't a strategy: time horizon and cashflow beat "perfect timing"

• Distressed mortgage debt 101: how banks offload non-accrual loans—and how pros work them out

• The SAFE due-diligence method (Sponsor, Asset, Financials, Exit) you can apply to any alt deal

• Active vs passive: "who, not how" for busy owners who want diversification without a second job

• How tax advantages (depreciation, cost seg) and steady cashflow protect high earners

Action Steps
1. Map Your Horizon & Cashflow
Decide your hold period (5–10+ years) and set a monthly cashflow target that makes you work-optional.

2. Run SAFE on Your Next Deal
Vet the Sponsor first, then Asset, Financials, and Exit. If any letter fails, pass and keep your powder dry.

3. Choose Your Lane
Active: commit to learning, mistakes, and reps. Passive: piggyback a proven operator's network (fund-of-funds, co-GP) to diversify now.

In this solo episode, Jim Oliver breaks down the single mindset shift that separates the herd from the wealthy: move from trading time for money to owning the system. Drawing on his journey from poverty and a casket factory to acquiring 30+ companies, Jim shows why most retirement advice is just slavery with better branding—and how Infinite Banking, cash-flowing assets, and velocity turn your money into a perpetual Wealth Engine.

What You'll Learn

• Why chasing a 401(k) balance is "poverty with a brochure" (and how averages hide risk)

• The 3D view of money: cash flow, tax flow, and debt flow—and why banks win using all three

• The owner's formula: Other People's Money + Other People's Time = freedom

• Infinite Banking, step-by-step: capitalize, collateralize, acquire, recapture, repeat

• How to measure the gain (not the gap) so progress fuels momentum, not perfectionism

Action Steps
1. Audit Your Money
List where every dollar sits today. Is it compounding for you—or for a bank or Wall Street?

2. Make the Shift
Replace accumulation targets with monthly cash-flow targets. Define your "work-optional" number.

3. Build the Engine
Set up a high-cash-value whole life policy (mutual company). Borrow against it to buy one cash-flowing asset every 12–18 months. Use the cash flow to repay the policy loan and repeat.

Jim's Final Word
"Retirement isn't about age—it's about cash flow. Stop being the cow. Become the rancher. Own the bank, buy assets, and let velocity do the heavy lifting."

Jim Oliver sits down with Brett Swarts to tackle the part of exiting most owners ignore until it's painful: Taxes. Brett is the founder of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, a real estate broker and tax strategy specialist with deep expertise in Deferred Sales Trusts (DST), Delaware Statutory Trusts, and 1031 exchanges. He hosts the "Build It to Billions" and "Capital Gains Tax Solutions" podcasts.

Together, Jim and Brett lay out how purpose-driven entrepreneurs can engineer an exit that prioritizes tax flow, converts to truly passive income, and preserves control and flexibility.

What You'll Learn:

• Why most CPAs "report the score" and how a true tax strategist changes outcomes

• Tax flow vs. cashflow: deferring cap gains to compound what would've gone to the IRS

• A "2.0" exit for larger deals: using a Deferred Sales Trust for cap gains and estate tax planning

• When 1031s become a "shotgun wedding"—and smarter blends (partial 1031 + DST + cost seg)

• How to define and build TPI (truly passive income) so your time, not the asset, drives your life

Action Steps:
1. Build the Exit Blueprint
Quantify net proceeds, gain, debt, and estate exposure. Set a clear monthly TPI target before signing an LOI.

2. Upgrade the Bench
Add a tax strategist alongside CPA/attorney. Evaluate DST, partial 1031, bonus depreciation, and insurance—pick tools, not dogma.

3. Allocate for TPI
Diversify post-sale capital into vehicles that deliver durable, hands-off cashflow while keeping optionality for future deals.

Brett Swarts' Final Word
"Truly passive income is to your freedom and impact what compounding interest is to your money. Lead with tax flow—and let it compound."

Most people wait for perfect conditions and call it "planning." That's just stuck.

In this conversation, Mark Young, an entrepreneur, educator, author, and functional doctor, joins Jim to break the addiction to comfort, reframe failure, and get back to ownership. We hit health, wealth, and work: why public goals matter, why cashflow beats accumulation, and how to use AI as a collaborator (not a crutch). If you're serious about building your Wealth Engine, this one's about action, not consensus.

What You'll Learn:

• Why momentum beats "getting ready to get ready", and how to act before everything is perfect

• The real fear behind inaction: public failure and tying your value to others' opinions

• How "do hard things" compounds in health, business, and wealth—discipline creates predictable outcomes

• Cashflow > accumulation: stop outsourcing your financial future to Wall Street narratives

• How to treat AI as a collaborator to upgrade decisions in health and money (without letting your brain atrophy)

Action Steps:
1. Own One Hard Thing Today
Pick a single uncomfortable action (call the prospect, publish the post, book the consult). Do it before noon. Momentum is a decision.

2. Make It Public
Choose one measurable goal and share it with your circle (deadline included). Public commitments kill excuses and create follow-through.

3. Shift from Accumulation to Cashflow
Audit your plan: Where does monthly cashflow come from? Map one move to increase it (IBC policy design, a small real-estate cashflow play, or a skill that raises your floor).

Mark Young's Final Word:
"Curiosity begets curiosity. Ask better questions, do hard things, and use AI as your collaborator. The harder I worked, the luckier I got—and proximity creates opportunity."

In this episode, Jim sits down with real estate pro turned relationship operator, Jarrod Guy Randolph. They talk straight about access to wealth and why your phone is a graveyard of unrealized capital. They break down Jarrod's "Buying Favor" operating system, the FAVOR network map, why most masterminds are wasting time, and how humility beats ego when you're leveling up.

What You'll Learn

• Why the saying "your network is your net worth" misses the real key: activation

• How Jarrod's FAVOR framework (Friends, Associates, Vendors, Organizations, Relatives) becomes a roadmap to deals, capital, and growth

• Why proximity creates access, and access creates knowledge that can't be learned in a classroom

• How the most successful entrepreneurs lead with humility, not ego—and why giving comes before asking

• A proven system to make masterminds profitable: host the room, follow up fast, and become a center of influence

Action Steps
1. Map the FAVOR Five
Entrepreneurs can list three to five names under each category of FAVOR. Each name should be tied to a specific ask, whether it's insight, a connection, or capital.

2. Practice Give-Give-Ask
Before making any ask, add value twice. Share a resource, make an introduction, or help solve a problem. On the third touchpoint, make a high-value, aligned request.

3. Host the Room
At the next event or mastermind, book a dinner with 10–12 attendees. Curate the group, build real connections, and follow up within 14 days to keep momentum alive.

Jarrod Guy Randolph's Powerful Word

"Your phone isn't a contact list—it's a balance sheet. The moment you learn to activate it, you unlock the capital, the partners, and the opportunities you've been sitting on."
