Millionaire Mindcast

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest, Andrew Cushman who shares knowledge and tips on how to mitigate your fear, the benefit of having a partner and a mentor and how to find it, the benefits of being in an amazing tribe or group, what are the most valuable skill sets to build wealth, tips for the beginners in real estate investing,  and how to effectively find deals! Andrew Cushman is a chemical engineer, an entrepreneur, real estate investor, top multi-family syndicator, and manager and owner of Vantage Point Acquisitions, a real estate private equity firm focused on acquiring, repositioning, and operating B and C class multifamily communities throughout the Southeast. He provides passive real estate investment opportunities for investors and an educational community for Multifamily operators to help active investors scale their portfolios. He was in college when he realized that he wanted to be in business but don’t know what it is. He finished a degree in engineering and got a well-paid job. Until one day he really found his calling. He read an article about flipping houses that influenced him to take courses on flipping. Luckily, he found a mentor that boosted his confidence. Although he was scared of quitting his well-paid cozy job, with courage and confidence, he did it and pursued flipping full-time. He bought his first property and got his first apartment deal.  Andrew believes that in order to equip and grow yourself, you should not limit and control your limiting beliefs. Go and find people of all types that you can learn from because you can learn from anybody and hire them, but also grab the opportunity to educate yourself for free. It’s just a matter of finding like minded people in order to find your core values, and grow with them. In addition, he admits that understanding your numbers, and having a great team have really helped him get to his position right now. Lastly, being relentless, committed, and having the patience to make repetitions. He was committed to getting one deal that took 4,576 phone calls before he got his very first deal!

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest Mike Sarraille, who shares his military journey, how his life was saved by a comrade during a combat mission, leaderships, why self-preservation is vital for being a leader, the significance of training and managing talent, feedback loop and self-assessment, and the secrets on how to be a millionaire! Mike Sarraille is an entrepreneur, a keynote speaker, an expert in leadership development, talent acquisition, and talent management, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer and a former enlisted Recon Marine and Scout-Sniper, a former principal at Echelon Front, a management consulting firm alongside the co-authors of Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink, and Leif Babin. He is the founder, managing partner, and CEO of EF Overwatch, a specialized executive search firm, and talent advisory that finds high-performing business leaders for senior, executive, or other critical leadership positions. Also, he co-authored the book, ‘The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent’ and a columnist for Men’s Journal and Men’s Fitness under ‘The Everyday Warrior’ column. When Mike retires from the military after 20 years of service, that's when he starts having self-reflection, conceptualizing things, and learning from his experiences. He realized that leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during those dark times in the military field. Thus, he let himself grow and learn the things he must know and use this to make a new career in entrepreneurship.  Now, he has become one of the experts in this field. Prior to that, he experiences ups and downs. But even with having that tough-guy persona, he believes that in order to stay in the game, you should not be afraid to talk to people when you’re feeling off, and ultimately seek God’s help. One thing that he encourages young people to do! Some Questions I Ask: For those who don’t know who Mike is, and what EF Overwatch is, give us a little bit of a background, and history real quick? (00:52) Being able to humanize such a dark part of the military, and still be able to perform and function insanely, where do those that come from? (02:58) Going back to your own journey, what were some of those moments that you felt like you wanted to quit, and what got you pushing through? (05:33) You mentioned, leadership, skills, and characteristics evolved during some of those dark times, what does your reflective process look like? How should people who want to be great leaders deal with trauma or challenges, process some of these things, and use them as weapons instead of hiding them out and being ashamed of them? (08:10) How did you have this patience and persistence to keep pushing every day no matter what was in front of you?  (14:03) You talk about recharge, what do you do to refill the cup? (16:59) If you were to give yourself an award for quality or characteristic that you’re at least led to that you felt was your superpower that you had a little bit of an edge on your brothers and sisters, what would that be and why? (19:05) How do you unplug and come home and still live intentionally with your wife, your family, and your health beyond just the “job or the career that you’ve chosen for yourself”? (20:42) With the people around you that you give permission to kind of hold you accountable, how critical is that not only in the team and in the organizational environment but in the personal environment for people to really achieve optimum and peak performance and just get the most out of themselves in life? (23:23) It takes time to be an expert in a particular field, how do you communicate that to the young hustler? (33:27) What are some of the best organizations doing in terms of motivating, inspiring, empowering, and really equipping their people? How are they helping them sharpen their axes, and what does that look like in today’s landscape? (37:29) How does preparation tie into this civilian and entrepreneurial world? (44:51) Just give us a broad spectrum on what the Talent War Group has to offer for the individuals that want to engage with you guys?
