The BetterLife Podcast

What does it REALLY take to become a millionaire in 2026 and 2027?

I sat down with Cam Cathcart, Michael Ketchin, and Geoff Gane to talk about building wealth in today's real estate market.

But things got HEATED when Michael challenged Cam on his goal of making $100,000 PER MONTH in cash flow.

And honestly? I realized I needed to hear some of the same things.

In this episode:

•

Why successful investors struggle to reach the NEXT level

•

Where the biggest real estate opportunities are right now

•

How your network can accelerate your success

•

Why being busy doesn't mean you're going ALL IN

•

How fear and lifestyle inflation hold investors back

•

What it actually takes to become a millionaire today

The biggest takeaway? Your goals don't matter if your daily actions don't match them.

This conversation challenged all of us, and I think it'll challenge you too.

Heads-up: There's some strong language in this episode! We decided to leave the conversation intact, so keep that in mind if you're listening with kids around.

Depending on who you ask, real estate is either falling apart or presenting some of the best buying opportunities we've seen in years.

So which is it?

I sat down with Cam Cathcart, Ben Humble, and Michael Miller to figure out what's ACTUALLY happening in the real estate market right now. And as usual, we didn't exactly agree on everything.

We're talking falling home prices, rising foreclosures, struggling house flippers, and why some investors are finding incredible deals while others can't seem to make the numbers work.

In this episode:

- Why the real estate market might be frozen rather than crashing

- What's happening to multifamily properties versus single-family homes

- Why rising foreclosures don't necessarily mean another 2008

- How new investors can find off-market deals without spending thousands on marketing

- Whether house flipping still makes sense in today's market

- Why luxury real estate might be outperforming traditional housing

- What we'd each do differently if we were starting over today

🏠 WANT TO FIND OFF-MARKET DEALS?

I put together a FREE playbook showing you how to approach pre-foreclosure opportunities and start conversations with potential sellers.

Two of the biggest names in real estate just announced they're quitting.

Ryan Pineda is shutting down his flipping and wholesaling business. Graham Stephan is selling his Los Angeles rental portfolio.

So... do they know something the rest of us don't?

I got Cam Cathcart, Ben Humble, and Michael Miller together to talk about what's REALLY happening in real estate right now. And then, in the middle of the conversation, I decided to call Ryan Pineda himself.

And he actually picked up.

In this episode:

- Why Ryan Pineda is walking away from flipping and wholesaling after nearly 1,000 deals

- What Graham Stephan's decision to sell his rentals says about today's market

- How real estate teaches you skills that can make you successful in almost ANY business

- Why hiring cheap talent could be costing you millions

- The difference between making active income and building long-term wealth

- Who should (and shouldn't) be getting into real estate right now

Networking sucks.

At least, that's what my buddy Omni Casey and I think. But here's the problem... some of the biggest opportunities I've ever had in real estate came from the PEOPLE I knew.

Not the properties. Not the money. The relationships.

So I brought Omni on the podcast to talk about how to actually build a network of successful investors, mentors, and friends WITHOUT being that weird guy handing out business cards and asking to "pick your brain."

In this episode:

🞄 How Omni went from selling surfboards to building a massive real estate portfolio

🞄 The right (and wrong) way to approach successful people for mentorship

🞄 8 strategies for building relationships that can change your business

🞄 Why the people you surround yourself with determine how far you'll go

🞄 How to turn a room full of strangers into actual friendships and opportunities

🞄 Why Omni and I are teaming up to bring free real estate investing communities across America

Here's the thing: you don't need to know a thousand people.

You need to build genuine relationships with the RIGHT people. And sometimes, one conversation can change the entire direction of your life.

Real estate has changed.

Strategies that felt almost impossible to screw up five years ago are getting investors crushed today... while other corners of the market are quietly producing some incredible opportunities.

So Cam, Ben, Michael, and I sat down and asked a simple question:

What real estate strategies would we ACTUALLY bet on going into 2026 and 2027?

In this episode:

🞄 The real estate strategies we're actively avoiding right now

🞄 Why simply buying a rental and waiting might not cut it anymore

🞄 10 strategies we believe can still work extremely well in today's market

🞄 Why operations are becoming more important than the asset itself

🞄 The strategies we're personally buying, watching, and staying away from

🞄 Why the “best” strategy still comes with problems you'll have to solve

Here's the biggest takeaway: there is no easy strategy.

Every one of these has problems. The opportunity is finding a problem YOU are willing to become world-class at solving.

Pick your thing. Go all in. Get good at it.

Things got a little heated on this one.

And the funny part is... this wasn't even supposed to be a podcast.

We were hanging out with Ben Humble after last week's episode when Cam started pressing him on his system for finding real estate deals - and the debate took off from there.

The conversation was too good NOT to share, so... here's the accidental podcast.

In this episode:

🞄 Ben and Cam debate what it ACTUALLY takes to consistently find great deals

🞄 Why your market might be the problem - not your acquisition system

🞄 The difference between being a real estate investor and building a real estate business

🞄 Why success online doesn't always mean someone is great at what they teach

🞄 The surprisingly complicated ethics of wholesaling real estate

Nobody really backed away from disagreement on this one.

We got into everything from acquisition systems and scaling into new markets to authenticity, wholesaling, and whether the industry needs more regulation.

And somewhere in the middle... Cam attempted a handstand.

Drop a comment: Where do YOU draw the ethical line with wholesaling?

And the more important question: Can Cam do handstands, or is it all just talk?

Ben Humble escaped communist Romania as a kid, lived in a refugee camp, moved to Canada, failed math twice, started a cleaning business... and somehow ended up doing hundreds of real estate deals.

So yeah, we had a lot to talk about.

Ben joins Cam and me for a conversation about his journey into real estate, the lessons he learned after trying just about every strategy in the book, and the framework that eventually changed the way he looks at buying properties entirely.

We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ego, humility, social media, and whether successful people have a responsibility to share what they've learned.

In this episode:

🞄 Ben's wild story of escaping communism and eventually finding real estate

🞄 Why humility might actually be a business superpower

🞄 The problem with treating real estate like “passive income”

🞄 Ben's “Four Exits” framework for buying deals with multiple options

🞄 Why serious investors should be making WAY more offers

🞄 The debate over cash flow, equity, and what actually makes a good deal

One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation:

Most investors spend all their energy trying to decide whether they should flip, wholesale, BRRRR, or hold rentals.

Ben uses a framework that looks at it differently.

It's a framework Ben and I actually disagreed about at first... until I eventually had to admit his system was better than mine.

You'll be seeing a lot more of Ben around here (and inside First Deal!) going forward.

We're back.

After taking the entire summer off, Cam and I finally sat down for another episode of The Better Life Podcast - and a LOT has changed.

Cam moved his family back from Maui to Missouri.

His flipping business has had one of its roughest years yet.

I've had a difficult year in real estate too.

So this episode is a pretty honest conversation about what happens when business doesn't keep going up and to the right - and how that changes the way you think about money, lifestyle, and financial freedom.

In this episode:

🞄 Why Cam moved his family back from Maui

🞄 What's happening in the house flipping market right now

🞄 The 4 levels of financial freedom

🞄 Why high income doesn't always equal real freedom

🞄 Why we're both paying attention to assisted living

🞄 How AI and robotics could change real estate and senior care

Financial freedom isn't just about making more money.

It's about building a life that still works when the market changes.

Drop a comment: What does financial freedom look like to YOU?

Every investor has these. The deal they knew was sketchy, and bought anyway. The one where they ignored the red flags. The one where they just flat out didn't know what they were doing yet.

In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I each share our three worst deals. What we paid. What went wrong. What it cost us. And what we'd do differently.

Cam took an $80,000 loss on a house where the previous flippers hadn't pulled a single permit, meaning he had to gut the entire thing twice. I worked 12 months straight on a duplex, lost $15,000, and then watched that same property hit half a million dollars years later after I'd already sold it at 120.

We also talk about what happens when you stop paying attention to a property that's been running fine, why turning down that first weekend offer is almost always a mistake, and why all three of Cam's bad deals were outside his buy box.

We don't share these to scare you off. Deals go bad. That's part of it. The goal is just that when yours does, it's not one of these.

I’ve unfortunately committed every single one of these…

The bad deal I knew was bad, but bought anyway. The strategy I abandoned three months in because something shinier came along. The numbers I cooked because I didn't want my mentor to tell me I was wrong.

In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I go through the 7 Deadly Sins of Real Estate Investing. These are the mistakes that kill portfolios, waste years, and keep people broke even when the market is working in their favor.

Sin 1: Lusting after shiny strategies

Sin 2: Gluttony for education

Sin 3: Greed for impossible returns

Sin 4: Sloth in deal flow

Sin 5: Wrath towards the market

Sin 6: Envy of other investors

Sin 7: Pride in your bad math

My very first employee had never used a computer.

I hired her to be my digital assistant. Day one, I said, "Go to your desktop," and she asked what that was.

That was hire number one. It got more complicated from there.

I've read a lot about hiring. Talked to a lot of people about it. But mostly I've just done it wrong enough times to figure out what actually works. And in this episode, I'm laying out the whole thing: the 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team.

We talk about why your first hire is probably not who you think it is. How to run candidates through a process that filters out the wrong people before you're three months in and miserable. What real onboarding looks like versus what most people do, which is basically nothing. And why recruiting is something you should be doing all the time, not just when you're desperate and stressed and need someone yesterday.

Hiring is leverage. Get it right, and it compounds. Get it wrong, and you'll feel it for a long time.

You built the business. Good. Now get out of the way.

This is the final episode of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint series, and it's about the one thing most people skip mentally, even when they're watching it. Because delegation sounds easy until you're the person who thinks nobody else can do it right.

• The difference between owning a business and being owned by one.
• The delegation ladder from automation to full-time hires.
• How to run a hiring funnel that filters out duds before you ever waste an hour on an interview.
• SOPs and why building them is the most productive thing you can do, even when it feels like the opposite.
• The 10-80-10 rule for managing without turning into a micromanager.
• The operating system that holds your company together when you're not in the room.

That's the goal. A business that makes money without requiring your presence every single day.

Most business owners know their revenue.

Almost none of them know their actual profit.

And that gap? That's how you go broke while feeling busy and successful.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the Profit First method that changed how I manage money, why profit has to come out first (not whatever's left over at the end), the simple bank account system that forces financial discipline, and why setting your lifestyle at your peak revenue months is one of the most dangerous things you can do.

Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is reality.

This is Part 5 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint. It's the shortest video in the series. Don't skip it. This is how businesses actually fail.

You built the thing. You validated it. You even have some customers.

Now what?

Now you have to get in front of people. And this is where most entrepreneurs completely fall apart.

You post a few times, hope for word of mouth, and maybe run one ad and give up when it doesn't work. Meanwhile, their competitor, who is half as good, is fully booked because they actually understand marketing.

Here's the hard truth: the best product doesn't win. The best-KNOWN product does.

In this video I'm going to show you the exact marketing system I used to raise $120 million from regular people online, why your offer matters more than your ads, how to build a funnel that turns a 3x return into a 14x return with the same budget, why your personal brand is the most valuable moat in your business, and why marketing isn't a strategy… it's math.

This is Part 4 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint series. And honestly? This might be the most important one yet.

In the last video, you figured out what to build.

Now comes the part where most people blow it.

They spend four hours building a website. They design a logo. They set up an Instagram account and tell all their friends. They feel like entrepreneurs.

But… they haven't talked to a single customer… or made a single dollar.

Building a website is cosplay. A logo is cosplay. A business plan is cosplay. A business has customers. A business has revenue. Everything else is just really satisfying procrastination.

In this video I'm going to show you the trap that catches almost every entrepreneur (and how to avoid it), why you should be charging people before you even build the thing, the Lean Startup principle that made me a millionaire multiple times over, and how to reverse-engineer a $1M business all the way down to what you need to do this week,.

Building it is only 10% of the game. But you can't skip it. Let's get into it.

Everyone wants a million-dollar business idea. Almost nobody realizes they're tripping over them every single day.

That's what Part 2 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint Series is all about. Choosing WHAT to build. People who never start aren't lacking ideas, but the ability to recognize the ones already in front of them.

In this episode, I walk through how to train your brain to spot problems worth solving, why the boring, unsexy businesses almost always win, and how to niche down without making your market so small there's nobody left to sell to. I also dig into the question I think every entrepreneur in 2026 needs to answer before they commit to anything: Is AI going to make this obsolete?

We also check back in with Jake, the composite entrepreneur whose story runs through this whole series. He's picked a junk removal business called Garage Zen, and his reasoning is exactly what I want you to take away from this episode.

By the end, you'll have a framework for finding your idea, a filter for pressure-testing it, and no more excuses for waiting.

Last week, I said that married men who aren't financially free and are spending their evenings watching sports and scrolling TikTok while their wives work jobs they hate are being selfish. The internet did not love that.

But here's the thing. Plenty of people read it and thought, " He's right”. I want financial freedom. I just don't know how to get there.

This series is for those people.

Over six episodes, I'm laying out the complete blueprint for building a business that does a million dollars a year in profit.

Part 1 is all about the mental game, because that's where most people fail before they ever write a business plan or pitch a single customer. I walk through why comfort is literally designed to keep you stuck, why being decisive matters more than being smart, what Seth Godin's concept of "the dip" means for your business, and why consistency will always beat intensity over the long haul.

I also introduce Jake and Maria, a composite of real entrepreneurs I've worked with over the years, whose story runs through the entire series. By the time we're done, you'll know exactly what to do next.

I've read somewhere around 300-400 business and self-development books. I highlight them, take notes, and build systems out of them. I'm like a productivity nerd with a real estate habit.

But most of those books, while good, didn't actually change what I do on a Monday morning. These three did.

In this episode, I break down the exact 3-book stack that took me from grinding 60-hour weeks with no direction to building a real estate portfolio worth over a billion dollars. And more importantly, I give you the system for actually applying them so you can do more in the next 6 months than most people do in 10 years.

The three books are Vivid Vision by Cameron Harold, The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, and Traction by Gino Wickman. Each one solves a specific reason people fail at big goals. Stack them together, and it's a completely different game.

I never seriously considered assisted living until I sat down with Mitch Conrad. He's a former high school math teacher who built a portfolio of 22 homes and 650 beds, and he basically broke my brain for an hour.

The best homes in his portfolio clear $20,000 a month in profit on a single house. You own the real estate and the business at the same time, so you're stacking tax benefits and cash flow in a way that normal rentals just can't touch.

And the timing is wild. The average age for assisted living is 85, and the oldest baby boomers aren't even there yet. By 2035, beds needed versus beds available will be 7 to 1. The wave is coming, and almost nobody is positioned for it.

Cam and I are in after this conversation. Come find out why.

Everyone keeps saying cash flow is dead.

They're right about one thing: the old spot doesn't work anymore. Higher prices, higher rates, and a market that moved on while most investors were still staring at the MLS.

But cash flow isn't dead. The light moved. And in this episode, I'm going to show you exactly where it went.

Here's what we're getting into:

• Why traditional buy-and-hold math is genuinely broken in most markets right now
• The fringe strategies producing 2x the income on the exact same property
• How co-living turns one house into 3 to 5 rent checks every month
• Why cash flow doesn't only go to people who own buildings

Stop waiting. Listen to this and then go make an offer.
