Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
It’s pretty amazing to think about how many amazing guests we’ve had here on the podcast. Out guest today is no different and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her. We have the Invest Diva herself - Kiana Danial!
Kiana, like so many of us entrepreneurs, was fired from her job on Wall Street and shortly after began her investing journey. She started in 4X trading/high risk trading and it just didn’t fit her lifestyle, overall goals, and wasn’t the kind of passive investing she wanted to be doing.
So what was next?
Kiana shares her investing journey and what she’s learned along the way. We talk about investment options, risks, and specific investment tools that she has used to build wealth and financial freedom.
Get ready to take notes on this one and soak up every ounce of value you can from this incredible episode.
Keep up with Kiana the Invest Diva:
Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
We’re living in some pretty interesting times - inflation, rising interest rates, social and political friction, volatile markets here in the US and globally, all coming off the back end of a long economic cycle of nothing but massive prosperity.
What does this mean for our businesses and our investments? What should we be doing to help adjust for these rapidly changing times? What does the future look like? These are all great questions and one’s you should be asking.
Truth is, there will always be a storm. Today, tomorrow, you never know exactly when or how the storm will hit or how long it will last. Yes there are some indicators and things we can look out for, but all said and done, these macro level economic drivers are things we have absolutely no control over. Unfortunately so many investors and business owners have banked on these uncontrollable factors playing out. They banked on the market to make them, and that’s a massive risk. We’ve experienced a long run of nothing but sunshine and huge gains, we’re talking 10+ years. The owners and investors who have planned on nothing but sunshine will soon find out the hard way that the sun doesn’t always shine.
No matter what point we’re at in a cycle, no matter the business or the deal - I’m always planning for the storms and I’ll never expect the market to do anything. I want to have as much control over my wealth and financial freedom as possible. I’m sure you want the same thing.
Right now today, I’m buying more deals than I ever have and growing my business faster than I ever have and very little of my decision making has to do with the general markets or economy. A deal is always a deal. So today, I’m going to share with you exactly what I’m looking at, and how I’ve continued to invest, grow, and scale rain or shine.
Thanks everybody,
AJ

I know, I know, I’ve been a little hit and miss here lately on the podcast, but man I’ve been busy! Me and the team have been crushing deals, growing our company, attending amazing events, and we couldn’t be more excited about what we’re doing.
That said, we actually have a super special episode lined up today with a couple of my favorite people - Brandon Turner and Brittany Arnason!
Our conversation today actually revolves around the topics I just touched on - we talk all things growing business, building a team, and the journey that we’ve been on to create something truly incredible.
I’m super excited to share this episode with you guys so you can hang out with us, learn, and grow just as much as we are.

Welcome back everyone to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
Honestly, my guest today needs little introduction if you’ve been in and around the real estate industry, or if you’ve watched real estate reality TV show Flip or Flop. My guest today is Tarek El Moussa.
As with most of us who are drawn to real estate investing - Tarek was frustrated with his career, was tired of making little to no money, having little to no control over his life, and decided that real estate was the path to achieve the life he’d always wanted. But, as we so often find, his success didn’t happen overnight.
We dive into Tarek’s story, how he found real estate, how to deal with defeat, and his bumpy path to success.
There are a number of key fundamentals to achieving success - Tarek touches on many of them and shares some incredible insight into how to truly become successful.
Keep up with Tarek:

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, this is your host of course, AJ Osborne!
Well if you’ve been paying attention to the economy at all… things look a bit… questionable let’s say. Inflation just keeps going up and up. Government spending keeps going up and up. Interest rates are going up and up in an ever weakening economy. Despite higher interest rates, housing prices have stayed higher than ever due to demand.
All said and done, and as you might imagine, this isn’t a great recipe. Even still, this should honestly be expected.
One of the huge problems we see over and over again in our economy is individuals, investors, firms, and so forth expecting only good times. This is especially the case for those who didn’t go through the Great Recession of 2008.
It can’t be stressed enough - we should ALWAYS be planning for the downturns, the dips, the recessions. None of us have a crystal ball, therefore, we should err on the side of caution and plan accordingly.
This is what I’m going to talk about on today’s podcast. I want to help share the things we all need to be thinking about when it comes to our personal finance and investments. I want to help ensure that you have the insights to help you make the best financial and business decisions you can. You can’t bank on sunshine and rainbows. By all means, enjoy them while they last, but be sure you’re ready when the storms hit, because they always do.
Thanks everybody,
AJ

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! Thanks so much for tuning in and for all your amazing support.
Today we have an amazing guest on the show that I wish I could give you an epic description of, but its virtually guaranteed that whatever cool words I used, it wouldn’t do any justice. My guest today is Rich Fettke.
It’s wild because Rich and I share very similar paths as to WHY behind not only real estate investing, but our values and foundations we’ve built our lives and investment strategies around.
As a young adult Rich was diagnosed with terminal melanoma and given just 6 months to live. Having a wife and kids, this immediately kickstarted the very real need to ensure their families future without Rich - as tough as that idea was.
So what did they do? Through a series of events, they turned to real estate to secure that future.
Thankfully Rich had actually been misdiagnosed and 20+ years later, him and his wife Kathy have built a real estate empire, not only for themselves but for over 60,000 members of their group Real Wealth.
Rich shares so much amazing value with you guys in this episode and we talk everything from start to finish - how him and his wife got into real estate investing, how they built a business and a thriving community around real estate investing, and the amazing life he and his wife have built.
All said and done, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
And here the links to get in touch with Rich so you can keep up with all the amazing things he has going on:

What’s going on everybody, welcome back to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
Man do I have an awesome episode lined up for you guys today. My great friend Tarl Yarber joins us today and sheds an awesome amount of insight into building the lifestyle and business that aligns with your REAL goals and aspirations.
So often we put our heads down, work like crazy to move the needle, then look up and wonder where the heck we’re at and how we got there. We end up unhappy, unfulfilled, and feeling like all our hard work and struggle has been wasted.
A lot of times, this is because we’re not working on the right things at the right time in the right direction. A lot of us fail in identifying what it is that we truly want out of life and our business and of course, we miss the mark when we pull the trigger.
There are a ton of aspects that go into making these life changing decisions and reflections, and we’re going to cover a handful of them today to help you get on the right track and begin executing at your fullest potential.
Obviously, Tarl is a total rock star and you should definitely follow him on Instagram here:

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
I have a special guest with me today, someone I’ve followed and known about for years who is absolutely crushing it in his industry. We get the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Kris Gethin.
Born on a farm in Wales, Kris had an early introduction to discipline and consistency - an extremely potent recipe for achievement. Throughout his life, Kris has applied these same principles and today, the level of fulfillment and impact that Kris has achieved is monumental. He’s lived in numerous places around the world, owns several gyms, owns a health supplement company, has been a prominent face of the fitness industry for close to two decades, working with and representing some of the most well known fitness brands in the world… the list goes on.
Of course we dive into Kris’s incredible story, but we also dive into the principles that Kris has applied to living his life - principles that have allowed him to grow, to succeed, to find fulfillment, and that have provided him with the ability to take control of his life in every aspect that he can control. He also talks about the key tenants to becoming hard to kill - a motto he lives his life by.
Enjoy this episode everybody. Kris is one of the most down to earth guys you could ever meet and it was an absolute pleasure being able to spend some time with him.
Keep up with Kris on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/?hl=en
Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
Today we get to sit down with the man himself Chandler Bolt CEO of the Self Publishing School - a company that he started that has published 6,000 books and that has been ranked on the Inc. 5000 for several years. Not only that, Chandler himself just made Forbes 30 Under 30. Not bad for a company that was launched just a few years ago.
Chandler shares with us his insights regarding the publishing world, how this world has changed over the past several years, and the benefits of self publishing versus traditional publishing. He also shares some steps and insights into how to make your book truly a success.
Outside of just self publishing, it’s clear that Chandler knows a thing or two about building a successful business. That said, we also dive into what makes a successful business and some of the strategies you can use to build a successful business too.
This was an awesome episode and one you won’t want to miss!
If you’ve ever thought about publishing a book, be sure to check out the Self Publishing School

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
We have a special guest with us today who has been on the podcast before and who has made some special appearances with me on YouTube and social media... We have the one and only Brittany Arnason back on the podcast today to talk about probably one of the most important topics of all time - building relationships and networking.
Be sure to check out the video version of this podcast on our YouTube channel:
https://youtu.be/E4ISvCofW6M
You've heard me say it before - success doesn't happen on an island. We're going to share several examples in this podcast today that demonstrates just how true this statement really is. Whether its Brit and I or even the friends we share in our circle, without these relationships, none of us would be where we are today with the opportunities we have at our fingertips.
If you aim to accomplish anything in life - you're going to need people and good relationships with those people. We're going to talk about just how important relationships are, how to build the best and most valuable relationships, and some examples of what we've been able to achieve merely through the relationships we've built with others.
Listen in and get ready to build that network and achieve huge goals.
Be sure to follow Brittany on social media: Instagram
We also mentioned the CRE Circle which is an incredible tool and opportunity to build these valuable relationships - take action and get involved now: https://www.thecrecircle.com/
Thanks everybody!
