AJ Osborne Podcast

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, this is your host of course, AJ Osborne!    Well if you’ve been paying attention to the economy at all… things look a bit… questionable let’s say. Inflation just keeps going up and up. Government spending keeps going up and up. Interest rates are going up and up in an ever weakening economy. Despite higher interest rates, housing prices have stayed higher than ever due to demand.    All said and done, and as you might imagine, this isn’t a great recipe. Even still, this should honestly be expected.    One of the huge problems we see over and over again in our economy is individuals, investors, firms, and so forth expecting only good times. This is especially the case for those who didn’t go through the Great Recession of 2008.    It can’t be stressed enough - we should ALWAYS be planning for the downturns, the dips, the recessions. None of us have a crystal ball, therefore, we should err on the side of caution and plan accordingly.    This is what I’m going to talk about on today’s podcast. I want to help share the things we all need to be thinking about when it comes to our personal finance and investments. I want to help ensure that you have the insights to help you make the best financial and business decisions you can. You can’t bank on sunshine and rainbows. By all means, enjoy them while they last, but be sure you’re ready when the storms hit, because they always do.  Thanks everybody, AJ You can also find the AJ Osborne Podcast on:  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aj-osborne-podcast/id1466437301 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Py4hxvj5Yh1rRpat7mkro?si=5cd7f293c3fd416c Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/cash-flow-2-freedom Be sure to keep up with me on the AJ Osborne website:  https://ajosborne.com/ You can also follow and keep up with me on social media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajosborne/   Interested in Self Storage Investing?

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! Thanks so much for tuning in and for all your amazing support.    Today we have an amazing guest on the show that I wish I could give you an epic description of, but its virtually guaranteed that whatever cool words I used, it wouldn’t do any justice. My guest today is Rich Fettke.    It’s wild because Rich and I share very similar paths as to WHY behind not only real estate investing, but our values and foundations we’ve built our lives and investment strategies around.    As a young adult Rich was diagnosed with terminal melanoma and given just 6 months to live. Having a wife and kids, this immediately kickstarted the very real need to ensure their families future without Rich - as tough as that idea was.  So what did they do? Through a series of events, they turned to real estate to secure that future.    Thankfully Rich had actually been misdiagnosed and 20+ years later, him and his wife Kathy have built a real estate empire, not only for themselves but for over 60,000 members of their group Real Wealth.    Rich shares so much amazing value with you guys in this episode and we talk everything from start to finish - how him and his wife got into real estate investing, how they built a business and a thriving community around real estate investing, and the amazing life he and his wife have built.    All said and done, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.    And here the links to get in touch with Rich so you can keep up with all the amazing things he has going on:    Real Wealth: https://realwealth.com/ Rich Fettke Website: https://www.fettke.com/ Rich’s Book The Wise Investor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Y3P465L/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/richfettke/ Thanks everybody,  AJ

What’s going on everybody, welcome back to the AJ Osborne Podcast!    Man do I have an awesome episode lined up for you guys today. My great friend Tarl Yarber joins us today and sheds an awesome amount of insight into building the lifestyle and business that aligns with your REAL goals and aspirations.    So often we put our heads down, work like crazy to move the needle, then look up and wonder where the heck we’re at and how we got there. We end up unhappy, unfulfilled, and feeling like all our hard work and struggle has been wasted.    A lot of times, this is because we’re not working on the right things at the right time in the right direction. A lot of us fail in identifying what it is that we truly want out of life and our business and of course, we miss the mark when we pull the trigger.    There are a ton of aspects that go into making these life changing decisions and reflections, and we’re going to cover a handful of them today to help you get on the right track and begin executing at your fullest potential.    Obviously, Tarl is a total rock star and you should definitely follow him on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/tarlyarber/?hl=en You can also check out his amazing Limitless event here:  https://limitlessexpo.com/ He also mentioned his lending company Fixated Funding, which you can visit here:  https://fixatedfunding.com/

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!   I have a special guest with me today, someone I’ve followed and known about for years who is absolutely crushing it in his industry. We get the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Kris Gethin.    Born on a farm in Wales, Kris had an early introduction to discipline and consistency - an extremely potent recipe for achievement. Throughout his life, Kris has applied these same principles and today, the level of fulfillment and impact that Kris has achieved is monumental. He’s lived in numerous places around the world, owns several gyms, owns a health supplement company, has been a prominent  face of the fitness industry for close to two decades, working with and representing some of the most well known fitness brands in the world… the list goes on.    Of course we dive into Kris’s incredible story, but we also dive into the principles that Kris has applied to living his life - principles that have allowed him to grow, to succeed, to find fulfillment, and that have provided him with the ability to take control of his life in every aspect that he can control. He also talks about the key tenants to becoming hard to kill - a motto he lives his life by.    Enjoy this episode everybody. Kris is one of the most down to earth guys you could ever meet and it was an absolute pleasure being able to spend some time with him.    Keep up with Kris on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/?hl=en Thanks everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! My guest today is a total real estate investing rock star! I got to sit down with the man himself Brody Fausett. Brody just happened to get into real estate when he went off to college but couldn’t find a place to rent. After talking to his mother who was a real estate agent, he decided to look at actually buying a house. All said and done, he bought a house, was able to rent to others and generate cash flow, and witnessed first hand the power of real estate investing. Since then, Brody has branched off into other asset classes and continues to grow his real estate empire. We talk about growth, progress, fulfillment and creating the life that you’ve always dreamed about, living the quality of life you’ve always dreamed about. Not only that, we talk a lot about sharing this amazing experience with others. Brody has even created a real estate education platform ‘The Real Estate Investing School’, to help share his invaluable real estate knowledge and experience with others.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! Guys, I can’t even tell you how excited I am about today’s podcast. This is one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time because our guest today is a fellow freedom loving American who I’ve followed and admired for quite some time, who has built a wildly successful business in the firearms and tactical/life-saving equipment industry. My guest today is the man himself - Lucas Botkin, founder and CEO of T.REX ARMS, one of the most recognized brands in the industry. How did a young 20 year old civilian come to command such a presence and build such a well respected brand in the firearms industry? That’s exactly what we’re going to dive into on today’s episode. Lucas share with us how he started TREX ARMS, what it looked like to build the company over time, and the massive shift he has had to undertake from working IN the business, to now working ON the business as CEO. We cover all this and more in today’s podcast, it’s totally packed with value and you’re going to absolutely love it. Thanks for listening everybody!
