Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! There’s something I hear quite a bit and I heard it more when I first started doing all this content and sharing my business and self storage investing “secrets” with the world. You guys and even friends have asked me, “AJ, why are you sharing all this information with everyone?” Or “Why are you doing all this work on content?” Well let me break it down for you. The truth is - me sharing this information doesn’t hurt me, doesn’t hurt my businesses, the self storage industry, and it certainly doesn’t hurt those looking to learn more about business or investing. Yes you could try and make the argument that I’m creating more competition… you could TRY, but you’d be wrong. Sharing this information actually accomplishes the complete opposite - it helps me, it helps the industries I'm in, and of course, it helps you. And it DOESN’T create more competition. Just think about this - because of these podcasts, videos, live events and so on that I’ve created and hosted, how many deals have been done? How many friends have been made? How many legacies have been started? How much freedom has someone been able to inject into their lives? It’s not even calculable, but just from the stories I’ve heard and even know about… the impact has been massive and it’s been staggering. In today’s podcast I’m going to dive into all of this. I’m going to share why it’s been so important for me to build these brands, this content, and this legacy. I’m going to share what we do, how we do it, and why fundamentals are great but learning the actionable steps to those fundamentals is SO much better. We’re going to talk frameworks, building business, and sharing that journey with the world. This is one for the note books so get ready, take notes and soak up some value. Thanks everybody.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! And yes, this is me your host AJ Osborne! So much has happened this past year and so much more is coming down the line this year. We have some exciting times here folks and I’m so happy that I get to share this all with you. With that comes change. I’ve put so much time and effort into building the Self Storage Income brand and my company Cedar Creek Wealth, that I haven’t spent a whole lot of time and effort here on the AJ Osborne podcast or the YouTube Channel. Yep that’s right - the YouTube Channel (yes it existed once lol). For those that are new here, my personal brand used to be Cashflow 2 Freedom. I did all of my personally branded content under that brand name. That changed, the YouTube channel went away, and podcast became inconsistent. Now, that is all about to change. I am totally re-creating this podcast, and re-launching what used to be the Cashflow 2 Freedom YouTube Channel, and will be branding it as the AJ Osborne YouTube Channel. Now you might wondering… why is AJ doing this? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about in today’s episode. You see, my companies are growing, opportunities are changing, and the value that I can deploy and receive from doing content like this and building my brands is immeasurable. I’m going to talk about these changes, exactly how my companies have grown, the structures we’ve built to run everything, and the why behind it all. It’s a crazy world of investing and I’m here to help make sense of it all. Thanks for tuning in as always guys, thank you for all the support you’ve offered these past several years, and stay tuned for more to come.

Welcome back everyone to the AJ Osborne Podcast! You guessed it… this is your host AJ Osborne! Yes, you read the title here correctly. For those of you who haven’t heard my story - several years ago I went from totally healthy and normal, to in just a matter of hours, becoming completely and totally paralyzed because of a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome. In a single immediate moment my life and my family’s lives were turned upside down. At first no one even knew what I had. The doctors couldn’t figure it out and even sent me home. Only for me to return to the hospital as paralysis began to take hold. It was terrifying and uncertain times, but this was just the beginning. I’m here today to tell you my story. Some of you might already know of me and my story, but today is something a bit more in depth in regard to the whole experience. Because as awful and difficult as it all was, yes, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. You’ll have to tune in to learn why.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne! I’m super excited to get this episode out to you all because I have the one and only Curtis May on the podcast today, and let me tell you… he’s bringing some incredible value for you here today.

This inspired him to take a further deep dive into the world of economics, finance, banking, and more to truly understand the broad world of all things money, investing, wealth, and opportunity. Listen in, take note and learn how you too can begin building your path to financial freedom and total control over your life and money. Thanks everybody! AJ Be sure to keep up with Curtis!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! This is your host AJ Osborne! I tell you what, I have some pretty awesome friends. Not only that, it's incredible that I get to share these amazing people and their stories with you all. Today is no exception. My great friend Kyle Wilson joins me on the podcast today and provides some of the best discussion I think I’ve ever had on this podcast about underwriting and working with capital partners. Kyle first got a taste of real estate investing like so many other investors - through house hacking. Being a professional hockey player, Kyle knew he needed to get plans for the future figured out. Fast forward to today and Kyle and his wife have built a real estate empire and systems to find, analyse, and manage the successful real estate business they’ve built. This is an amazing episode packed with tons of valuable insight that I know you’re going to really enjoy. That said I’ll let you all get to it!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! Today we’re talking about RISK. I’ve found that the various types of real and perceived risks are vastly unknown, and vastly misunderstood. Obviously this can be a huge problem for us whether we’re entrepreneurs, employees, investors… no matter what we are. The fact is - risk cannot ever be totally eliminated. We can only control so much. So then, how do we effectively manage risk? These are great questions and ideas, and this is exactly what we’re diving into on today’s podcast. I break risk down into three pillars and we expand from there. The keys here - we should understand risk and know not only how to face it, but how to deal with and manage risk productively. We’ll never get away from risk completely and have to learn how to thrive in the uncertainty. Thanks for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host AJ Osborne! So many of us want to grow and build wealth in a secure and sustainable way. The question is… does a solution like that even exist? Well thankfully we have Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen on the podcast today to help answer that question for us. We talk about conventional wealth building advice and the importance of building a great view and perspective of what wealth truly is and can be, how to ensure access to capital and liquidity, and the process that you can walk through to help you go the right track to building real wealth. All said and done, we have to take responsibility and take an active role in building our own wealth. Our 401k or the stock market isn’t going to do it for us.

We have an awesome guest lined up for you all today, one of our amazing partners and resources that we use on our deals - the one and only Brad St. Onge with InvestNext. In a nutshell - InvestNext is an industry leading software that helps firms manage investor relations. This is just the tip of the iceberg in regard to the level of value that InvestNext offers and how truly robust the platform is. When it comes to raising money from investors, there are numerous aspects to consider. Are all documents signed correctly? Do investors have information they need at their fingertips? How are you managing your investors and their expectations? How do you send information to investors regarding the deals you have for them? These are just a few pain points that Brad covers in today’s podcast. These are great questions to be thinking about and that you should be asking, this is especially the case when you’re operating at scale with hundreds of inventors. Brad also shares how InvestNext came to be, where things are at currently, and what the future looks like for the company.
