  • What No One Tells You About Leaving Your Own Company w/Cody Hofhine

    What No One Tells You About Leaving Your Own Company w/Cody Hofhine
    Aug 14 2025

    You built your business from scratch and poured your heart and soul into it. So it might feel strange, even disloyal, to think about stepping away or exiting.

    From the outside, everything’s working: sales are up, your team’s solid, and your brand is gaining traction. But under the surface? You’re tired, the vision that once felt clear now feels fuzzy, and growth has started to feel like a grind.

    This isn’t uncommon. Many founders hesitate to plan an exit because things still feel “fine.” But there’s a big difference between “fine” and truly free.

    Founders leave their businesses for all kinds of reasons, burnout, shifting goals, evolving partnerships, or simply growing beyond what they once built.

    The biggest misstep is waiting until things fall apart to start thinking about what’s next.

    How do you build with the exit in mind?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Cody Hofhine, the founder of Utah Sell Now, Texas Sell Now, and Joe Homebuyer. As a business owner who has exited four companies, he has a lot to share about what worked, what didn’t, and what every founder should consider before making their move.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -Having the right mentors

    Learning from mentors who have already achieved your goals provides proven guidance and shortcuts to success. How can following someone who’s already succeeded save you time and prevent common mistakes?

    -Invest in yourself

    Investing in yourself is the most important step because you are the driving force behind your own success. How are you prioritizing your personal growth to create the impact you want in your life?

    -Quit linear thinking

    Embracing non-linear, audacious thinking can spark breakthroughs beyond conventional limits. What bold goal would you pursue if you stopped following the usual rules?

  • How to Beat the Insurance Companies at Their Own Game w/ Rob Haynie

    How to Beat the Insurance Companies at Their Own Game w/ Rob Haynie
    Aug 7 2025
    Here’s the dirty secret in the term insurance industry: They win when you cancel. They win when your policy lapses. They win when you don’t understand what you really own. Think about that for a second. You’ve been sold on the idea that term insurance is the smart, affordable choice. But what no one tells you is this: it’s a ticking clock. If you outlive the term, you get nothing. All those years of paying in? Gone. Just like that. Who wins? The insurance companies. Every. Single. Time. They count on you to drop it. They bank on you not knowing any better. But what if you flipped the script? What if you could turn the tides and make term insurance work for YOU? What if you could unlock hidden value in your policy before it vanishes? Because the truth is that you can. There are strategies the wealthy use to extract value from term policies that most people surrender without a second thought. Rob Haynie, Managing Director at Life Insurance Settlements, Inc., joins me in this episode to expose the hidden greed within the insurance industry. We dive into how millions are misled when it comes to term life insurance. More importantly, we reveal how you can flip the script and use your policy to your advantage instead of getting taken for a ride. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Do more than just surrender Most people with term insurance don’t realize there are alternatives to surrendering their policy. What if you could unlock hidden value from your term policy instead of just walking away from it? -Slow economy surrender In a slowing economy, many are surrendering their life insurance policies without realizing they may have better options. What are the other things you can do? -Optimizing assets Term insurance can be treated as an asset, just like your home, because you own it. If your term policy is an asset, are you making the most of its hidden value? Guest Bio Rob Haynie is the Managing Director and one of the founding partners of Life Insurance Settlements, Inc. (LIS), a leading life settlement brokerage based in Pompano Beach, Florida. With over 31 years of experience in the industry, Haynie has been instrumental in shaping the life settlement market, advocating for the value of life insurance as an asset class, and educating financial professionals and policyholders about settlement options. Throughout his career, Haynie has been directly involved in negotiating and settling thousands of life insurance policies, earning a reputation as one of the most influential figures in the field. He has served multiple terms on the Board of Directors of the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) and has been a charter member of its Public Policy Committee, which focuses on regulatory and legislative activities within the industry. Haynie is a frequent speaker at industry events and has co-hosted the podcast Unlocking the Hidden Value of Your Life Insurance, where he discusses the benefits and intricacies of life settlements.

  • Why So Many Real Estate Investors Are Burnt Out w/ Ashley Kehr

    Why So Many Real Estate Investors Are Burnt Out w/ Ashley Kehr
    Jul 31 2025
    Feeling burnt out? You’re not the only investor hitting that wall. Long hours, back-to-back deals, tenants, contractors, financing, and the never-ending pressure to grow. You got into real estate for time freedom and financial independence, but somewhere along the way, it started to feel like just another grind. Here’s the truth most investors won’t say out loud: Burnout isn’t a rite of passage, it’s a red flag. And ignoring it can cost you more than just momentum; it can eat away at your health, relationships, and your reason for investing in the first place. But what if there’s another way to build wealth? A shift from burnout to balance. It’s not about more doors, bigger portfolios, or chasing status. It’s about designing a real estate business that gives you the life you actually want. In this episode, I’m joined by Ashley Kehr, a rental property investor and co-host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie Podcast. She shares her journey of stepping off the hamster wheel and into a simpler, more powerful version of success. One built around freedom, clarity, and sustainability. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Opportunities in real estate investing Real estate investing can offer more than financial security; it can create freedom, flexibility, and a lifestyle on your terms. What other opportunities can real estate investing open up? -Shiny object syndrome New entrepreneurs and investors often fall into the trap of chasing trendy opportunities instead of staying focused on proven strategies. How do we focus on moving the needle instead of the next big thing? -Build a firm foundation Start by leveraging your strengths and skills, then pursue your passions once you've established a solid foundation. How can focusing on current strengths pave the way for achieving long-term goals? Guest Bio Ashley Kehr is the co-host of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast. Just a few years removed from being a beginner herself, Ashley is now helping newbies figure out actionable steps to get their first deal. She has a dual degree in finance and public accounting and recently became a licensed insurance agent. Ashley purchased her first rental property in 2014 and, since then, has grown her buy-and-hold portfolio to over 30 units. She has experience in residential and commercial properties. She attributes much of her success to the use of partners on several real estate deals and creative financing. Ashley developed a passion for real estate after quitting her staff accountant job to work as a property manager. Within several years, she had created two property management companies, which she ran for over five years. Her specialty was creating systems to work efficiently and remotely within companies. Currently, Ashley outsources property management and spends her time educating new investors and finding deals to BRRRR.
