Passive Income, Fulfillment, & Living Your Dreams Through Real Estate with Brody Fausett

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!

My guest today is a total real estate investing rock star! I got to sit down with the man himself Brody Fausett.

Brody just happened to get into real estate when he went off to college but couldn’t find a place to rent. After talking to his mother who was a real estate agent, he decided to look at actually buying a house. All said and done, he bought a house, was able to rent to others and generate cash flow, and witnessed first hand the power of real estate investing.

Since then, Brody has branched off into other asset classes and continues to grow his real estate empire.

We talk about growth, progress, fulfillment and creating the life that you’ve always dreamed about, living the quality of life you’ve always dreamed about. Not only that, we talk a lot about sharing this amazing experience with others. Brody has even created a real estate education platform ‘The Real Estate Investing School’, to help share his invaluable real estate knowledge and experience with others.

Building a Successful Company and Becoming a CEO with Lucas Botkin

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!

Guys, I can’t even tell you how excited I am about today’s podcast. This is one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time because our guest today is a fellow freedom loving American who I’ve followed and admired for quite some time, who has built a wildly successful business in the firearms and tactical/life-saving equipment industry.

My guest today is the man himself - Lucas Botkin, founder and CEO of T.REX ARMS, one of the most recognized brands in the industry. How did a young 20 year old civilian come to command such a presence and build such a well respected brand in the firearms industry? That’s exactly what we’re going to dive into on today’s episode.

Lucas share with us how he started TREX ARMS, what it looked like to build the company over time, and the massive shift he has had to undertake from working IN the business, to now working ON the business as CEO. We cover all this and more in today’s podcast, it’s totally packed with value and you’re going to absolutely love it.

Thanks for listening everybody!

The Best Markets to Invest In - How to Identify Them & What You Need to Know Now

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, this is your host AJ Osborne!

If there’s one thing that’s for certain in investing and business… it’s that nothing will ever be certain. Opportunities come and go, industries come and go, markets come and go. But what causes entire markets to thrive and what causes them to die? Not only that, how can we better understand these cycles to better take advantage of opportunity?

The last thing any of us wants to do is to invest in a dying market. This means we have to be able to look at and effectively analyze relevant metrics within those businesses and markets. This means understanding risk and planning for it. It also means understanding both the micro and the macroeconomics of an industry and business. What can you control and what do you have zero control over in these arenas? How does policy and regulation affect and potentially affect that market?

This is just the surface of what we’re going to cover in today’s episode. There’s a lot to digest and a lot to think about, so be ready to take notes so that you can take what we talk about here and apply it to your endeavors.

Thanks everybody!
AJ

Cash Flow - The King of Business & Investing

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!

When it comes to business, when it comes to success or failure, there’s ONE thing that truly determines it all… CASH FLOW.

Cash flow is the absolute king of business. If it's not there… you’re in trouble.

This all comes down to the business, the industry, and your specific value proposition. This comes down to timing, overcoming challenges, and making educated and calculated decisions day to day.

I’m going to share a bit about my journey on today’s podcast and how different the landscape and the opportunity is today than it was years ago when I got started. In some ways, there is immeasurably more opportunity and in some ways, there’s less. But the fact remains, opportunity exists to create incredible businesses, with incredible cash flow, so that you can live an incredible life.

This opportunity of timing, growth, and cashflow was one my partners and I identified in self storage and to say it’s paid off is an absolute understatement.

Thanks for tuning everybody!
AJ

Taking Control of and Building Your Financial Future with Russ Morgan and Joey Mure

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! It’s me, your host, AJ Osborne!

Today we another awesome guest episode lined up for you with two awesome guys who doing some pretty incredible things. It’s my pleasure to welcome on Russ Morgan and Joey Mure.

Russ and Joey are the founding partners of their firm Wealth Without Wall Street. Them and their team are dedicated to helping people build wealth and freedom through passive income streams outside of the unpredictable machine we’ve all come to know as Wall Street.

So much of what we talk about in today’s podcast has to do with the unconventional approach to building wealth, stability, and a financial future for ourselves and our families. A huge take-away from this podcast is the ideas of scarcity mindsets and abundant mindsets. So much of what we’re taught in the financial world is base on the foundations of the scarcity mindset. When in fact, to build real wealth, we must utilize the abundant mindset.

There is so many great nuggets throughout this podcast that will help set you off on the right path to financial freedom that won’t have you working until you're 70, planning to retire with a 401K, and hoping for the best. Take control, and set yourself up for success. After all, this is the only shot we get.

Keep up with Russ and Joey on their website at: https://www.wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/

Thanks everybody,
AJ

How to Move Forward in the Unknown

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! It’s me your host, AJ Osborne!

No matter what endeavor we set out on, no matter what direction we want to go in life, no matter what we do there will always be unknowns. Sometimes we like to fool ourselves into thinking that we have something 100% figured out, that our path forward is totally linear. This is almost never the case.

Life has a great way of reminding us every now and then about how much control we don’t have. Shoot, take me for example! I was doing great in the insurance world, bought a brokerage because I was going to crush it, and that totally fell apart. I recovered from that, began pouring capital into self storage, was totally crushing it, and then WHAM… I win the lottery and end up with GBS, on life support, and have to learn how to eat, and walk all over again.

Bottom line? We never truly know what’s waiting for us around the bend. This can sound kind of blue and pretty hopeless right? Well, there’s a few things we can do to build a shield for us and our families to help weather these unknowns when they strike. Yes, you still get hit, but you have at least some barrier, some protection against what could have been a killing blow.

This shield is exactly what we’re talking about in today’s podcast. How exactly do we deal with and move forward with these looming unknowns?

You’re about to find out.

Thanks everybody,
AJ

The Biggest Risk to the Dollar and Your Investments

Marketing, Social Media, and Building a Billion Dollar Business

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne!

There’s something I hear quite a bit and I heard it more when I first started doing all this content and sharing my business and self storage investing “secrets” with the world. You guys and even friends have asked me, “AJ, why are you sharing all this information with everyone?” Or “Why are you doing all this work on content?” Well let me break it down for you.

The truth is - me sharing this information doesn’t hurt me, doesn’t hurt my businesses, the self storage industry, and it certainly doesn’t hurt those looking to learn more about business or investing. Yes you could try and make the argument that I’m creating more competition… you could TRY, but you’d be wrong.

Sharing this information actually accomplishes the complete opposite - it helps me, it helps the industries I'm in, and of course, it helps you. And it DOESN’T create more competition. Just think about this - because of these podcasts, videos, live events and so on that I’ve created and hosted, how many deals have been done? How many friends have been made? How many legacies have been started? How much freedom has someone been able to inject into their lives? It’s not even calculable, but just from the stories I’ve heard and even know about… the impact has been massive and it’s been staggering.

In today’s podcast I’m going to dive into all of this. I’m going to share why it’s been so important for me to build these brands, this content, and this legacy. I’m going to share what we do, how we do it, and why fundamentals are great but learning the actionable steps to those fundamentals is SO much better. We’re going to talk frameworks, building business, and sharing that journey with the world.

This is one for the note books so get ready, take notes and soak up some value. Thanks everybody.
AJ
