The BetterLife Podcast

I had two millionaire real estate investors visit Maui last week. So naturally, we sat down and recorded a podcast.Craig Curelop (house hacking legend, founder of The FI Team) and Mike Brockway (luxury short-term rental expert) joined Cam and me to talk about the single pieces of advice that completely changed our financial trajectories.Here's what's wild: none of us became millionaires because we worked harder. We became millionaires because someone gave us advice that shifted how we thought about building wealth.In this episode:The BiggerPockets forum post that changed my entire life (and why I still have it printed out 20 years later)Why the "bucket vs. pipeline" story from Cashflow Quadrant made me a MULTI-millionaireCraig's house hacking journey and why "living like no one else" is more than just frugalityMike's short-term rental empire and the power of getting around the right peopleCam's BRRRR breakthrough (and why it doesn't work the same way in 2026)The difference between advice that makes you a millionaire vs. advice that makes you a MULTI-millionaireWhy systems beat hustle every single timeHow to surround yourself with people who make the impossible look like a Tuesday morningThe thread throughout this entire conversation? None of this was complicated. But it required us to actually listen and implement instead of just nodding our heads.REI Summit 2026 is happening April 1–3 in Austin, Texas.

This episode has no agenda… and that’s why it works!We bounce from ADUs and co-living to 2026 goal-setting to the rarely discussed reality of working with your spouse, not because we planned to, but because these topics are quietly connected by the same question: How do you design a life that actually works?What starts as a practical conversation about housing flexibility turns into a bigger discussion about tradeoffs—space, money, time, ambition, and relationships. We talk about why some “smart” ideas fall apart in real life, why certain goals lose their appeal as your life changes, and why mixing marriage and business can either sharpen everything… or expose every crack.If you like real conversations that don’t fit into neat buckets, make sure to hit FOLLOW 🔔Know someone thinking about ADUs, co-living, or working with their spouse?

Combined with the right actions, I became a millionaire.In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact behaviors you need to eliminate if you want to break out of being stuck and broke.Fair warning: if you get triggered at any point, good.

Pedro Adao went from begging God to kill him to building a $50 million business.And it wasn't because he worked harder. It was because he stopped doing business like everyone else and started doing it God's way.In this episode, Pedro breaks down what actually happened during his bankruptcy, why he hired a mentor when he couldn't afford groceries, and how he doubled his income the same year he gave himself a 40% pay cut.We also get into the stuff most people won't talk about: Why most pastors shouldn't be pastors. How to know if you're building wealth for the right reasons. What God actually thinks about money.This conversation went deep. If you've ever felt conflicted about making money as a believer, you need to hear this.🔗 JOIN THE 31 DAY WISDOM CHALLENGE: 31daywisdomchallenge.com🧔‍♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!
