The Three WORST Real Estate Deals We've Made
Every investor has these. The deal they knew was sketchy, and bought anyway. The one where they ignored the red flags. The one where they just flat out didn't know what they were doing yet.In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I each share our three worst deals. What we paid. What went wrong. What it cost us. And what we'd do differently.Cam took an $80,000 loss on a house where the previous flippers hadn't pulled a single permit, meaning he had to gut the entire thing twice. I worked 12 months straight on a duplex, lost $15,000, and then watched that same property hit half a million dollars years later after I'd already sold it at 120.We also talk about what happens when you stop paying attention to a property that's been running fine, why turning down that first weekend offer is almost always a mistake, and why all three of Cam's bad deals were outside his buy box.We don't share these to scare you off. Deals go bad. That's part of it. The goal is just that when yours does, it's not one of these.🧔♂️ WHO AM I? My name is Brandon Turner!

The 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team
My very first employee had never used a computer.I hired her to be my digital assistant. Day one, I said, "Go to your desktop," and she asked what that was.That was hire number one. It got more complicated from there.I've read a lot about hiring. Talked to a lot of people about it. But mostly I've just done it wrong enough times to figure out what actually works. And in this episode, I'm laying out the whole thing: the 10 Commandments of Hiring and Managing a Rockstar Team.We talk about why your first hire is probably not who you think it is. How to run candidates through a process that filters out the wrong people before you're three months in and miserable. What real onboarding looks like versus what most people do, which is basically nothing. And why recruiting is something you should be doing all the time, not just when you're desperate and stressed and need someone yesterday.Hiring is leverage. Get it right, and it compounds. Get it wrong, and you'll feel it for a long time.📚 Book mentioned: Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell → https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Back-Your-Time-Entrepreneurial/dp/0593539257Traction by Gino Wickman → https://www.amazon.com/Traction-Get-Grip-Your-Business/dp/1936661837🧔♂️ WHO AM I?

Master Your Business's Money (7-Figure Blueprint Part 5)
Most business owners know their revenue.Almost none of them know their actual profit.And that gap? That's how you go broke while feeling busy and successful.In this episode, I'm breaking down the Profit First method that changed how I manage money, why profit has to come out first (not whatever's left over at the end), the simple bank account system that forces financial discipline, and why setting your lifestyle at your peak revenue months is one of the most dangerous things you can do.Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is reality.This is Part 5 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint. It's the shortest video in the series. Don't skip it.

How I Used Funnels to Raise $120M (7-Figure Blueprint Part 4)
You built the thing. You validated it. You even have some customers.Now what?Now you have to get in front of people. And this is where most entrepreneurs completely fall apart.You post a few times, hope for word of mouth, and maybe run one ad and give up when it doesn't work. Meanwhile, their competitor, who is half as good, is fully booked because they actually understand marketing.Here's the hard truth: the best product doesn't win. The best-KNOWN product does.In this video I'm going to show you the exact marketing system I used to raise $120 million from regular people online, why your offer matters more than your ads, how to build a funnel that turns a 3x return into a 14x return with the same budget, why your personal brand is the most valuable moat in your business, and why marketing isn't a strategy… it's math.This is Part 4 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint series. And honestly? This might be the most important one yet.Want the full PDF summary of this entire series?

Are You Playing Business, Or Are You BUILDING One? (7-Figure Blueprint Series - Part 3)
In the last video, you figured out what to build.Now comes the part where most people blow it.They spend four hours building a website. They design a logo. They set up an Instagram account and tell all their friends. They feel like entrepreneurs.But… they haven't talked to a single customer… or made a single dollar.Building a website is cosplay. A logo is cosplay. A business plan is cosplay. A business has customers. A business has revenue. Everything else is just really satisfying procrastination.In this video I'm going to show you the trap that catches almost every entrepreneur (and how to avoid it), why you should be charging people before you even build the thing, the Lean Startup principle that made me a millionaire multiple times over, and how to reverse-engineer a $1M business all the way down to what you need to do this week,.Building it is only 10% of the game. But you can't skip it. Let's get into it.🧔♂️ WHO AM I? My name is Brandon Turner!

How to Choose the RIGHT Business Idea (7 Figure Blueprint Series - Part 2)
Everyone wants a million-dollar business idea. Almost nobody realizes they're tripping over them every single day.That's what Part 2 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint Series is all about. Choosing WHAT to build. People who never start aren't lacking ideas, but the ability to recognize the ones already in front of them.In this episode, I walk through how to train your brain to spot problems worth solving, why the boring, unsexy businesses almost always win, and how to niche down without making your market so small there's nobody left to sell to. I also dig into the question I think every entrepreneur in 2026 needs to answer before they commit to anything: Is AI going to make this obsolete?We also check back in with Jake, the composite entrepreneur whose story runs through this whole series. He's picked a junk removal business called Garage Zen, and his reasoning is exactly what I want you to take away from this episode.By the end, you'll have a framework for finding your idea, a filter for pressure-testing it, and no more excuses for waiting.🧔♂️ WHO AM I?
