William Branum, A former US Navy SEAL with 26 years of service, William Branum is the founder of NW Recovery. At an early age William knew he wanted to be part of a team that would push him beyond whatever limits he thought he had and still enjoy the outdoors and all it had to offer. He charged forward and became an Eagle Scout and joined the Navy immediately after graduating High School. After graduating from SEAL Training (BUD/S Class 208) he was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA then San Diego, CA, and finally Oahu, HI where he served on multiple SEAL Teams, taught SEAL Sniper School, and deployed around the globe. As with too many veterans, William suffered from numerous physical injuries and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his well being and quality of life. Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he would struggle with on a daily basis. He tried many prescription medications to help and eventually started to "self medicate" with alcohol to help with pain and sleep issues. During his last few years of military service William started hearing more about the promising benefits of cannabinoids like CBD. Ultimately, he chose to wait until his retirement from the military before exploring this new world of plant based benefits to help aid in his physical and psychological recovery. Determined to maintain his Top Secret Security clearance after the military, he sought THC free options of CBD. Since his discovery of CBD, William has reduced anxiety, improved sleep, less joint pain and an overall improved quality of life. Today William is focused on sharing the recovery benefits he has experienced through premium quality (THC Free) CBD in hopes that other Veterans and First Responders can also experience their own recovery.

Nick sits down with Bill Allen, who is one of the nation's top house flippers, wholesalers, and real estate investors, host of the 7 figure flipping podcast and a Navy pilot who fell into real estate investing due to his constant military moves. He got his start in real estate as an accidental landlord when he moved from Pensacola, Florida in 2011 to England to go to test pilot school. When he got back to the US, he was getting married and wanted to figure out a way to fully retire in his early 40's. Bill started buying rental houses and quickly realized that he was running out of money to build enough passive income to fully retire on. That's when he turned to house flipping to build the capital required to buy more rentals. Bill started a company called Blackjack Real Estate, LLC and he enjoyed flipping houses so much that he has continued to use that strategy. In today's podcast Nick talks with Bill about what made him so successful. He says that aside from not getting bogged down with the numbers and analysis, he looks for a lot of foreclosures and using a direct-marketing approach or he looks for what would make a great rental property for the area. BLACKJACK REAL ESTATE Blackjack Real Estate? Founded in 2016 by Bill Allen, a veteran and real estate professional, Blackjack Real Estate began its mission of helping homeowners sell their homes for cash. Blackjack purchases, renovates, and sells homes in Pensacola Florida, Chattanooga and Nashville Tennessee, Huntsville Alabama and Bowling Green Kentucky. Its strategic business plan allows them to remain incredibly fair with cash offers while still remaining profitable and creating valuable partnerships with local contractors, real estate professionals, and wholesalers. What began as a one-man operation has quickly become a team of 12+ members who are experts in their fields and passionate about real estate and helping others.
