Send us a text Isabella Bedoya went from 2,000 to 13,000 followers in ONE WEEKEND with a single post that hit 1.2 million views. Now she's building AI agents that replace entire sales teams and licensing technology that could make her millions. In this explosive conversation, she reveals the exact formula she used to spot trends before they blow up, the 3-step AI agent system that creates her content automatically, and why she thinks we're in the biggest gold rush since Bitcoin. Plus: her controversial take on why AI won't steal jobs, it'll create them for the people smart enough to learn. Biggest Takeaways: ✅ The Pattern Recognition Formula : Watch what's trending on TikTok → Adapt it for LinkedIn with your spin → Use ChatGPT to make it valuable, not gossip-y ✅ The AI Content System : 3 agents that scrape competitors, analyze your performance, and create personalized content using your stories ✅ The Positioning Shift : Stop selling complicated AI setups → Start selling "AI employees" for simple annual fees ✅ The Mindset Hack : Use EFT tapping, hypnosis, and meditation to "brainwash yourself" past fear and limiting beliefs Tools & Resources Mentioned: Relay.app (for building AI agents without coding) GetMunch & Captions AI (video editing automation) HeyRosie.com (advanced voice agents for local business) Google's V03 (next-level AI video generation) ChatGPT (content ideation and trend analysis) Connect with Isabella: LinkedIn : Isabella Bedoya Website : https://izzygbt.com All Socials : @izzygbt Golden Quote: "We're in a gold rush right now.

But here's what shocked us most: her random video of cleaning pool bugs got 13 million views while her carefully planned content barely reaches thousands. In this eye-opening conversation, Renee reveals why authenticity beats strategy every time, how exotic animals became her secret marketing weapon, and why the "professional content" approach keeps most agents invisible online. The Authentic Content Revolution: Why randomness outperforms perfectly planned posts every single time How a pool cleaning video generated more leads than expensive ad campaigns The mindset shift from "polished professional" to "genuine human" The Multi-Platform Mastery: Instagram strategy: Video reels over static photos Facebook approach: Single images win over carousels LinkedIn tactics: Where all the "boring" professional content belongs 💡 Key Insights Revealed: The 80/20 Formula: 80% personal content, 20% business (not the reverse) The Engagement Hack: Respond to ALL comments to boost algorithm performance The Consistency Rule: 3-5 posts per week minimum or face algorithm death The Platform Specifics: Same content, different formats for different platforms The Authenticity Test: People can instantly tell when you're reading a script 🎯 Perfect For: Real estate agents tired of posting the same boring content as everyone else Entrepreneurs wanting to grow organically without paid ads Social media strugglers who think they need expensive equipment Content creators looking for the authentic engagement secret Anyone who wants to turn their unique life into marketing gold 📈 The Numbers That Matter: 13 million views on a single "random" video Hundreds of new followers from one viral post Multiple platforms managed with just an iPhone Zero professional equipment or film crews Broker with her own brokerage and development projects 🌟 Why This Episode Hits Different: Renee doesn't just talk about social media theory - she's actively going viral while running multiple businesses and raising two kids. While other agents are struggling to get noticed, she's turning pool maintenance into marketing gold. Her nursing background gives her a unique perspective on helping people that most "influencers" lack. 🎧 What You'll Walk Away With: ✅ The counterintuitive content strategy that generated 13 million views ✅ Platform-specific posting strategies that actually work ✅ How to batch create content and automate your posting ✅ Why being authentic beats being perfect every single time ✅ The exotic animal advantage (and how to find your own unique angle) 📱 Connect with Renee Gillette: Instagram: @reneecentralluxrealty (follow for zebras and real estate wisdom) Facebook: Gillette Properties Website: Links to all platforms and her Netflix-worthy life…

But here's what shocked us most: he argues that owning ONE rental house is actually MORE dangerous than owning 100 apartment units. In this eye-opening conversation, John breaks down why corporate professionals are perfectly positioned for multifamily investing, how apartment buildings operate like the businesses they already know, and why the "one house" strategy keeps most people stuck in landlord hell.

Send us a text In this explosive episode, we dive deep with Christian Rios, who started his real estate journey at just 17 years old and hit six figures by 20. But here's the kicker – his secret weapon isn't spreadsheets or market analysis... it's COMMUNITY. Christian reveals how New Wealth Advisors Club operates more like a church than a traditional brokerage, with prayer before meetings, Bible studies, beach days, and members literally supporting each other through life's biggest challenges – including deportation. 🚨 Mind-Blowing Revelations: The "Church Model" for Real Estate: Weekly door-knocking sessions (like Bible study groups) Community support during crises (they're literally fundraising for a member facing deportation) Prayer before every meeting "If you close a deal with someone you wouldn't have dinner with, you shouldn't have done the deal" The 17-Year-Old Who Cracked the Code: Started at 17 when his parents' house lost $300K overnight in 2008 Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" in ONE DAY Had to bring his mom to sign contracts because he was underage Made $100K+ by age 20 while his friends were in college 💡 Key Strategies Revealed: The Community-First Model: How treating business like church community creates unstoppable momentum The Mentorship System: Experienced investors personally walk newbies through their first deals The Thursday Ritual: Weekly door-knocking to help distressed homeowners (notice of default, trustee sales) The Expansion Strategy: From one Riverside office to nationwide (Hawaii, Seattle, Tampa, California) The Accountability Factor: Internal motivation through shared success rather than external pressure 🎯 Perfect For: Ambitious beginners who want to skip the expensive guru route Successful W2 earners (software engineers, doctors) looking to build real estate portfolios Anyone seeking community-driven business models People who value faith-based business practices Investors wanting real mentorship, not just courses 🔥 Quotable Moments: "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future. If you want to be a successful real estate investor, some of your best friends have to be in the business." "We're an organization run by Christians, not a Christian organization – but we definitely pray for the right people to show up and the wrong people NOT to show up." "Your calendar is your boss, bottom line. If something's on my calendar, it's non-negotiable. It's happening." 📈 The Numbers: Started at 17 years old $100K+ by age 20 15+ years with the club Nationwide expansion (4+ states) Twice monthly in-person community events Multiple weekly Zoom calls nationwide 🌟 What Makes This Different: Unlike traditional real estate education that costs thousands and leaves you isolated, New Wealth Advisors Club operates on actual RELATIONSHIP and shared success.

Send us a text Melissa Hostutler - Business Acquisition Advisor specializing in blue-collar businesses (construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pool companies, etc.) Nearly 20 years of experience in business acquisitions Handles deals typically under $5M, with largest acquisition at $110M Website: BlueCollarBusinessAdvisors.com The Reality of Business Acquisitions Business acquisitions are emotionally and financially demanding processes Deals can take up to 9 months to complete Recent example: A deal delayed 17 days due to poor communication and unprofessional handling Personal Brand vs. Business Brand Build a business with assets, not just a personal brand Personal brands (like Tony Robbins) have no transferable value when the person dies Businesses with systems and assets are infinitely more valuable Clear separation between personal and business finances is crucial Advice for Young Entrepreneurs Don't buy car washes, laundromats, or storage units (despite popular guru advice) These businesses have hidden costs: equipment depreciation, security issues, insurance complications Instead: Buy "a job" - small route-based businesses like landscaping or window washing Seller financing is often available for smaller acquisitions Debunking Popular Myths Zero-down business purchases don't exist for legitimate, valuable businesses Avoid BizBuySell - "the Craigslist of business acquisitions" Don't rely on cold-calling scripts or AI tools for serious acquisitions Amazon FBA and e-commerce have high financial risks and liability The Professional Process 95 questions should be asked during due diligence NDAs, proper contracts, and legal representation are essential SBA 7A loans (government-backed) typically require 10% down for deals under $5M Working capital considerations can significantly impact deal structure Key Takeaways Don't believe the hype - Business acquisition is complex and requires significant capital, time, and expertise Avoid trendy "boring businesses" pushed by online gurus Start with route-based businesses if you're young/new to acquisitions Always use professionals - attorneys, brokers, proper due diligence Focus on cash flow and systems , not just revenue numbers Seller financing exists but still requires substantial down payments Build relationships - Melissa's entire business runs on Facebook connections and referrals Resources Mentioned BlueCollarBusinessAdvisors.com (includes free 95-question due diligence checklist) Better marketplace alternatives: Crexi and LoopNet Book recommendation: "Beyond the Hammer" by Brian Warning Signs to Avoid Anyone promising zero-down acquisitions BizBuySell marketplace Credit card financing for business purchases Businesses in unstable neighborhoods (laundromats) Cash-heavy businesses that don't report accurate financials This episode provides a realistic, no-nonsense perspective on business acquisitions that counters much of the "easy money" messaging found online.

The Journey from Broadway Dreams to Brain Rewiring Meet Michelle Roberts , a licensed speech-language pathologist turned communication coach who's cracking the code on why we struggle to say what we mean, and mean what we say. From panic attacks that lasted for hours to helping performers reclaim their voices, Michelle's story is one of transformation through the science of human connection.

"Every time we make a choice to not do that and do something else, that forms another neural pathway and over time weakens the old one and strengthens the new one."

Fresh off a year of personal transformation that she describes as a "rebirth," Rachel opens up about navigating boundaries in Christian dating, breaking generational patterns as a single mom, and finding her calling in ministry. Key Topics Discussed Personal Transformation & Faith Journey Rachel's "rebirth" story: healing from a difficult relationship and rediscovering her identity in Christ The difference between inherited faith and personal conviction How surrendering control led to unexpected breakthrough in ministry Boundaries & Alignment in Christian Dating Why both partners need strong personal boundaries, not just agreement with yours The importance of spiritual alignment over surface-level compatibility How to discern the depth of someone's convictions through their actions What Christian Men Need to Understand Moving beyond surface-level attraction to value heart and calling Why strong women aren't looking for dominance but partnership The difference between submission and being steamrolled in relationships Single Motherhood & Breaking Generational Patterns Protecting children while modeling healthy relationship standards The intentional work of breaking cycles of dysfunction Teaching daughters their worth through example Vulnerability & Emotional Intelligence Why men struggle with going deeper in relationships The difference between sharing your story and emotional dumping How healing transforms vulnerability from weakness to strength Ministry & Purpose Rachel's journey from exploited talent to authentic anointing Balancing passionate ministry calling with relationship desires Why every relationship had previously pulled her away from God Key Quotes "I want someone where our calling is aligned, but I don't want to wear the pants. I want somebody to see all of the things that I am and go, what can I do to nourish this." "You can't offend a dead man - when you're solid in who you are and God's got you, vulnerability becomes sharing the blessing, not risking rejection." "My boundaries are my responsibility. If anybody tries to cross the lines, it's up to me to communicate that." "Strength doesn't necessarily mean dominance. I'm not afraid to submit to a man of God." Final Encouragement Rachel's message to men: "It all goes back to Jesus. You've got to do the internal work and quit playing victim. Once you start to change yourself, you start to change what you like and what you want and what you let in."

She reveals the brain science behind feeling stuck, her exact formula for helping authors make $250K per speech, and why your story might be worth millions. 🎙️ About This Episode What happens when a successful neuroscientist decides that "playing it safe" is slowly killing her creativity? Aurora Winter's story will challenge everything you think you know about age, reinvention, and what's possible in the second half of life. In this raw and revealing conversation, Aurora shares: Why she abandoned her comfortable life in Canada for the creative chaos of Los Angeles The neuroscience behind feeling "dead inside" (and how to fix it) Her exact system for turning anyone's story into a 7-figure business How authors really make money (hint: it's not book sales) 🌟 Guest: Aurora Winter Background: Neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and publishing expert Founder of Same Page Publishing and Strategic Basics Author of award-winning fantasy trilogy "Magic, Mystery & the Multiverse" Former film/TV producer with background from Banff Media Festival Has helped clients raise 7-8 figures through strategic messaging Current Focus: Helping experts turn their stories into million-dollar messages Breaking down business insights from current events on YouTube Launching Book 3 of her fantasy series (August 8th) The last 6-12 months have been about rejecting a dangerous internal narrative: "It's too late." Aurora reveals how she caught herself living like her life was ending instead of embracing the possibility that her best creative years were still ahead. 🧠 The Neuroscience of Feeling Stuck Two Types of "Dead Inside" Feelings: 1. Overwhelm & Poor Expectations Management Having 200 items on your to-do list, completing 20, and feeling like a failure Solution: Put 3 things on your list, complete 20, feel like a superhero The importance of deep focus blocks (Aurora uses 90-minute creative sessions) 2. Disconnection from Purpose Working without connecting to the bigger "why" Moving tasks from A to B without understanding the impact Solution: Reconnect with your creative calling Aurora's Breakthrough Question: "If I'm a little gear in the universe, what is the most valuable use of Aurora? How can I make the world a better place?" Her Answer: Help people who are already making a difference make an even bigger difference through better communication. 🏠 The Great Reinvention: Canada to LA The Safe Choice vs. The Creative Choice Canada: Great healthcare, family support, rural safety Los Angeles: Creative energy, collaborative opportunities, her son's encouragement The Mindset Shift From: "I've reached the top of my mountain, it's all downhill from here" To: "What if I have another 30-50 years? How would I live differently?" Result: Feeling younger, happier, and more creative than she had in years.…
