AI Is Breaking SaaS… Here’s Where the Money Is Moving

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m breaking down a massive shift happening right now—how AI is rapidly dismantling traditional SaaS models and why that’s forcing a major rotation of capital into real, physical assets. After a recent conversation with a nine-figure internet entrepreneur, it became clear to me that the smartest investors aren’t doubling down on software—they’re moving into real estate, infrastructure, and opportunities tied to the physical world. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what’s changing, where the money is going, and how you can position yourself to take advantage of it. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Disclaimer and Liability 00:00:14 Podcast Welcome and Topic 00:00:46 Nine Figure Founder Shift 00:02:38 Agentic AI Emerges 00:03:24 What Agentic AI Does 00:05:22 OpenClaw Origin Story 00:06:58 Why Mac Minis Vanished 00:07:24 Building My First Agent 00:09:34 SaaS and CRM Disruption 00:11:02 Salesforce Value Collapse 00:12:21 Where Capital Rotates 00:14:41 Play One Data Centers 00:16:32 Play Two Multifamily Setup 00:19:15 Play Three Migration Economy 00:22:31 Five Takeaways and Wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

Top 3 Cities to Buy Real Estate in 2026

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down the exact criteria professional investors use to evaluate markets and share the top three U.S. cities that stand out heading into 2026. We’ll walk through the real data—migration trends, affordability, job growth, cap rates, and regulations—and why places like Knoxville, Tulsa, and Savannah are attracting attention from investors. But more importantly, I explain why the city itself is never the whole story. The real opportunity comes from finding the right deal, understanding your local market, and preparing for the wave of distressed properties that could emerge as billions in debt comes due in 2026. If you’ve been wondering where to invest next, this episode will help you think like a professional investor and make smarter decisions in the year ahead. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Show Premise And Question 00:00:50 Investor Criteria Overview 00:02:13 Top Cities Revealed 00:02:20 How Migration Data Works 00:02:54 Knoxville Market Breakdown 00:04:06 Knoxville Cap Rates Math 00:04:35 Tulsa Starter Market 00:04:56 Tulsa Rental Demand Signal 00:05:28 Savannah Coastal Diversification 00:06:02 Savannah Prices And Rents 00:06:32 Recap The Three Picks 00:06:46 Why LA Still Feels Full 00:08:19 Neighborhoods Beat Averages 00:09:46 LA On The Five Factors 00:13:36 Deal Focus And 2026 Debt Wall Learn more about your ad choices.

State of the Market: What Strong Jobs & Lower Rates Mean for You

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in the market right now — strong jobs data, slightly friendlier mortgage rates, and luxury properties pushing toward nine-figure price tags. I walk you through the four or five biggest finance headlines of the week and explain, in plain English, what they mean for real estate investors at every level. We also unpack interest rates as they stand today, including the difference between conforming and non-conforming loans and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. If you’re trying to make smart, disciplined decisions in 2026, this is the clarity you need.

Pro Skater: If You Don’t Plan For This, You Lose Everything

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Mikey Taylor to talk about what happens after the spotlight fades — and why planning for the end while you’re still at the peak changes everything. We get into grit versus talent, turning income into assets, using leverage intelligently, and why real wealth is about optionality, not ego. Mikey shares how he transitioned from professional skateboarding to building and exiting a major brand, and now running a private equity real estate platform — all by thinking long term. If you’re building something today, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond the next win and start designing your second act. *Mikey Taylor*Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/mikeytaylorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeytaylor/ *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps00:00:00 Meet Mikey Taylor: From X Games Favorite to Life Lessons 00:00:51 Starting at 12: Obsession, Coordination, and Earning Every Trick 00:02:48 Grit vs. Natural Talent: Why Some Gifted Kids Stall Out 00:04:07 Skateboarding Paychecks & the Reality of Post-Career Work 00:05:08 Skater Mindset in Business: Seeing What Others Miss + Marketing Genius 00:11:21 Sponsorship Money Is Fragile: Turning Income Into Assets 00:15:12 Profit First & Pay Yourself First: Building Margin (and Avoiding Tax Pain) 00:22:43 St. Archer Story: Finding the Blue Ocean and Selling to MillerCoors 00:34:18 Risk vs. Reward: Why Real Estate Feels Safer Than Operating Businesses 00:36:41 Leverage Debate: Dave Ramsey, Good Debt vs. Bad Debt 00:37:58 How Leverage Actually Works: Cushions, Rate Risk & Tenants Paying the Note 00:41:07 Is Your Home an Asset?
