Two entrepreneurs. Years of mistakes. A stack of wins. And a list of rules they wish someone had handed them long before things finally clicked.
Brandon and Cam sit down after a marathon stretch of Thanksgiving, birthday parties, flights, and jet lag to strip business down to the essentials. This episode breaks down the eleven rules that keep real businesses alive. The rules that help you move faster, think clearer, and build something that holds up when the economy decides to wobble.
Along the way, they pull back the curtain on the complexities of mobile home parks, co-living models, land development, Class A rentals, and conducting time audits. They explore the unexpected comfort found in defining your own challenges, the true hurdles behind seven-figure revenue, and the vital difference between high revenue and actual profit.
These are the exact rules that powered the creation of their multiple companiesāand the rules they rely on every single day.

Is AI about to END real estate investing as we know it?Ā
Brandon and Cam explore how AI is already changing their day-to-day workāand why you have maybe 5 years left to build wealth the traditional way before the big boys like BlackRock and Blackstone take over.
Then things get WILD.
In this unfiltered episode, we dive into:
- The Epstein files and what's actually happening
- Candace Owens: Conspiracy theorist or truth-teller?
- Big Pharma, the food pyramid lie, and why nicotine isn't what you think
- Social media manipulation and who's really pulling the strings
- Algorithms and why sensationalism wins (and how we're all guilty)
Plus: Spencer Robbins crashes the recording to discuss social media addiction, spiritual warfare, and the George Soros agenda.
ā ļø WARNING: This gets controversial. We discuss politics, religion, and conspiracies most people avoid. If you want safe real estate content, skip this one. But if you want RAW, unfiltered conversationā¦ this is it.

Ever look at real estate investors who hit financial freedom in a few years instead of 40 and wonder, "What did they know that I don't?"
This episode is Brandon and Cam's answer to that. We're breaking down the exact 12-step blueprint that we would use to get to $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 a month or more in passive/rental income in just a few years, starting from scratch today. This is what works, and what Cam and I figured out has worked in our businesses.
If you are sick of dabbling and just limping along on your journey towards financial freedom, and you want to actually build a rental portfolio that will change your life, this is that playbook. Stick around, this might be the roadmap you've been waiting for.
