On this episode of From the Ground Up, we sit down with Ashley and Joe Lowery of Lowery Group Real Estate to talk about building a real estate business, investing, renovations, and what it’s really like working alongside your spouse.

Ashley brings more than a decade of real estate experience, while Joe made the leap from firefighting to running the investment and operations side of their business. Together, they’ve gone from $300K flips to taking on $1.5M+ properties that can sell for $2.5M+ after renovation.

We talk about their first flip—and the contractor nightmare that changed the way they do business—along with luxury renovations, construction red flags, inspection negotiations, knowing when to walk away from a deal, and why they choose quality over quantity.

If you’re interested in real estate investing, luxury homes, renovations, or what it takes to build a business from the ground up, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of From the Ground Up, we sit down with Noah Taxman and Chance Wambolt of The Taxman Agency for a conversation about entrepreneurship, career pivots, relationships, and the mindset behind building a successful business.

At just 24 years old, Noah has already become the #1 producing property and casualty agent in the country, building his business through an incredible work ethic, social media, and what he calls “spider networking.” Chance took a completely different path, transitioning from more than a decade in the beauty industry and plastic surgery into insurance—and making a major impact within his first few months.

We talk about why showing up matters, how relationships turn into referrals, the importance of genuinely taking care of people, and what it takes to stand out in a competitive industry. They also share lessons from their career journeys, the risks they've taken, and what they're building next.

If you're an entrepreneur, real estate professional, lender, or anyone looking to grow your network and business, this episode is packed with practical insight and plenty of motivation to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them.

🎙️ From the Ground Up — real conversations with the people building businesses, careers, and lives from the ground up.
