Bookkeeping might not sound exciting, but it can be the secret to growing your wealth. R. Kenner French shares why clean and organized books are crucial for real estate professionals — from investors to agents. With accurate bookkeeping, you gain clarity on profits, improve decision-making, and even boost the value of your business when it’s time to sell. Kenner reveals his top five bookkeeping tips to help you separate business and personal finances, track expenses effectively, leverage accounting software, and much more.

Kenner also dives into the power of artificial intelligence in financial management. With a proprietary AI model called “Einstein,” entrepreneurs can simplify tax planning, enhance asset protection, and streamline bookkeeping for long-term success. Whether you’re aiming to cut down your tax liability, improve cash flow, or just gain better control over your business finances, this episode is packed with actionable advice to take your real estate ventures to the next level.

Takeaways

• Clean and organized books increase enterprise value and reveal true profitability.

• Always keep personal and business finances distinct, especially when managing multiple LLCs.

• Regularly categorize and reconcile expenses to monitor ROI and prevent costly errors.

• Software like QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks automates tracking and reporting.

Jay and Annie Adkins, known as the "coaching couple," shared how they turned their diverse backgrounds in music, education, and hospitality into a thriving real estate business. Starting with a house hack, they scaled their portfolio through creative financing, buying properties with little to no money down. Their advice to new investors: take action, stay flexible, and don’t be afraid to invest outside your comfort zone.

Their coaching focuses on personalized strategies—reverse-engineering client goals into actionable real estate plans. They use AI tools for budgeting, marketing, and property analysis, helping students across the U.S. succeed. One standout deal saw them double a property's value in four months while tripling rental income through smart rehabbing and Airbnb. Their core belief: with strategy and the right guidance, anyone can build lasting wealth through real estate.

Takeaways

• Their journey began with one rental and scaled to 24 properties in a year using creative deals.

• Owner-financing, HELOCs, and hard money lenders allowed them to scale without personal capital.

• From budgeting to marketing, AI helps speed up workflows and scale operations efficiently.

• Personalized goal-setting + action plans = tangible results for students.

• Long-term success stems from strategic learning and the right network.

Soundbites

Massive action beats paralysis every time.

• We doubled our property value in 4 months—without using our own money.

• AI is like another executive on your team.

• Real estate success is about vision, not just strategy.

R. Kenner French delivers a candid and unscripted soliloquy on the future of artificial intelligence (AI)—focusing on its ethical implications, business adoption, and personal growth opportunities. He emphasizes that AI is inevitable and accelerating, and those who adopt it early—whether individuals or companies—will be the ones shaping its direction, especially on ethical grounds. Those who ignore AI risk being left behind or replaced entirely.

Kenner draws parallels to the early adoption of computers and the internet, arguing that AI presents an even greater leap. He encourages business leaders, employees, and entrepreneurs to invest at least an hour a day into understanding and leveraging AI, suggesting that such investment will pay exponential returns. While optimistic about AI's potential for productivity and happiness, he expresses concerns about ethical risks and unemployment if society fails to engage responsibly.

Takeaways:

• Those who are not using AI now may be excluded from shaping its future—and risk being replaced by it.

• The most pressing challenge of AI is not technical but ethical. If you're not involved, you can't help steer it.

• Dedicating 1 hour a day to learning or using AI can dramatically transform business outcomes and personal productivity.

• AI adoption today is comparable to adopting the internet or computers decades ago—but with even more transformative potential.

• Whether you’re a small business owner, employee, or entrepreneur, AI can level the playing field—if you take action now.

• AI combined with quantum computing will supercharge progress, possibly even helping answer existential questions.

• Kenner’s company leveraged AI (via their model “Einstein”) in 2018, which resulted in increased efficiency, happier clients and staff, and greater flexibility.

• Without proper ethical involvement, AI could contribute to severe unemployment—possibly 50–75%.

Soundbites:

• If you're not using AI now, you're not going to be in the conversation.

• The ethics of AI—that's the real frontier.

• Spend just an hour a day with AI, and it could change your life and your business.

• AI is like the internet in the 90s—but on steroids.

• Quantum computing will make AI look like a joke.

• Be the driver of AI, not the one being driven by it.

• Those who adopt AI now will shape its future—and its ethics.
