Mike reflects on how early partnerships and intentional collaboration were critical to building something lasting. The conversation then turns to GoBundance, the mastermind group Mike co-founded for men who’ve achieved financial success and want more out of life—better health, stronger relationships, greater impact, and more fun. What began as a business-focused brotherhood has grown into a comprehensive life mastermind with deep accountability and support. Mike now spends much of his time leading Fambundance, the family-focused branch of GoBundance. He and Todd talk about the importance of helping entrepreneurial families come together to define shared values, create a rhythm of connection, handle conflict with purpose, and raise kids who are equipped to lead. Legacy, Mike explains, isn’t just about financial wealth—it’s about how well we prepare the next generation to thrive with it.

Todd discusses the supply and demand cycle that is currently happening in multifamily real estate and how to plan for the future. New inventory has flooded into many markets and has peaked in most markets in 2024 and 2025. Through the remainder of the year, along with 2026 and 2027 new construction will slow back down to the norm, creating a healthy rental market. It’s easy to look at the headlines and think that real estate moves quickly; however, it’s important to remember that real estate takes years to make changes. Todd also reflects on the goals that we set and taking time to reflect on those goals, adjust, and take steps to get yourself back on track to finish the second half strong.
