For years, Mark Rampolla believed the same thing most driven entrepreneurs believe. Work harder. Scale bigger. Make more money. Then freedom will come. He followed that formula perfectly. Mark founded ZICO Coconut Water, scaled it over nine years, and sold the company to Coca-Cola for over two hundred million dollars. From the outside, it looked like the ultimate win. But instead of feeling free, Mark felt more trapped than ever. Overcommitted. Stressed. Disconnected from his health, his relationships, and the life he thought success was supposed to buy him. That moment forced a realization that reshaped everything. Freedom is not the reward at the end of the journey. It is the foundation that makes real success possible. In this conversation, Mark breaks down how chasing future freedom keeps entrepreneurs stuck in perpetual pressure and why so many high performers feel empty even after “winning.” He shares how redefining freedom changed the way he builds companies, leads teams, invests capital, and lives day to day. You will hear how presence, clarity, and alignment are not soft ideas but practical advantages that lead to better decisions, stronger businesses, and more sustainable growth. Today, as Co Founder and Managing Partner of GroundForce Capital, Mark helps founders scale without burning themselves out and build companies that support their lives instead of consuming them. This episode is a powerful reset for anyone who feels like success keeps moving the finish line. If you are building something big and don’t want to lose yourself in the process, this conversation will change how you think about ambition, freedom, and what winning actually looks like. Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

In this episode, we break down how two friends, a real estate agent and an insurance agent, started a podcast and unintentionally built powerful personal brands that directly impacted their businesses. What began as simple conversations turned into a virtual resume that positioned them as trusted experts long before prospects ever reached out. We explore why podcasting works especially well for relationship driven industries like real estate and insurance, where trust and familiarity matter. The goal of their content was to build name, image, and likeness and create know, like, and trust at scale. By letting people get familiar with them through long form content, their podcast worked around the clock, allowing listeners to connect on their own time without the need for constant in person networking. This conversation breaks down how a podcast helps real estate agents establish authority, stay top of mind, and shorten the sales cycle, while insurance professionals can use content to educate prospects and generate warmer inbound leads. If you are a service based entrepreneur looking to grow through personal branding, this episode shows how podcasting becomes a long term marketing asset that compounds over time, even while you are sleeping. Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Most people think wealth is built by picking the right stock, the right deal, or the right time. In reality, wealth is built by understanding the rules of the game before everyone else does. And those rules are changing fast. In this episode, we sit down with Bridger Pennington to break down the new framework for building wealth in a world being reshaped by funds, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. This conversation is about zooming out and seeing what most people miss. How capital actually moves. Why institutions play a different game than individuals. And how everyday investors and entrepreneurs can position themselves on the right side of the biggest financial shift of our lifetime. We unpack how investment funds really work and why they are the preferred vehicle of the ultra-wealthy. Bridger explains how hedge funds, private equity, and real estate funds are far more accessible than people think, and why learning to think like an allocator instead of a lone investor changes everything. We also dive deep into blockchain and crypto beyond the headlines, breaking down real-world use cases, institutional adoption, and why volatility shakes out retail while long-term conviction creates generational upside. This episode also explores how artificial intelligence is accelerating every part of the economy, why multiple technological waves are colliding at once, and what that means for growth, opportunity, and inequality over the next decade. We talk about how to build a portfolio that is resilient through uncertainty, why chasing fast money destroys compounding, and how to approach stocks, crypto, real estate, and alternative investments as one cohesive strategy instead of disconnected bets. This is not about hype or predictions. It is about understanding the systems behind wealth so you can make better decisions with your time, money, and energy. If you want clarity in a noisy world, a higher-level way to think about investing, and a framework that actually holds up as the future unfolds, this episode will stretch how you see money forever.Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Most people talk about wanting an extraordinary life. However, very few are willing to live extraordinarily different to earn it. That gap is what this episode is about. Austin Zaback built what most people chase for decades before the age of 30. Over $3 billion in real estate sold. Twelve companies founded. Hundreds of employees. A national real estate team spanning multiple states. None of it came from luck. It came from obsession. In this conversation, we unpack what it actually means to be obsessed in your 20s and why that season of life is the greatest window most people waste. Austin shares the sacrifices, intensity, and relentless standards that allowed him to build trust, authority, and momentum while most people his age were still figuring things out. We talk about how he earned credibility as “the young guy” in rooms full of older, more experienced players, why mastery and work ethic still beat shortcuts, and how becoming impossible to ignore in your market changes everything. Austin breaks down why obsession is not about burnout or hype, but about commitment, clarity, and eliminating distractions long enough to build something real. This episode also challenges the idea of balance. We explore the difference between grinding aimlessly and building with intention, how Austin thinks about family, business, and long-term fulfillment, and why efficiency in your 30s is earned through intensity in your 20s. If you are early in your journey, this episode shows you the standard required to separate from the pack. If you are further along, it will force you to ask whether you are still playing at the level your goals demand. This is not motivation. It is a reality check.

In this informative discussion, Robert Croak, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Silly Bands, shares insights on optimizing your financial future. He emphasizes the importance of long-term thinking and diversification in investing. Robert proposes a strategic portfolio mix including Bitcoin and various ETFs while advocating for a hands-on approach to real estate investment. He discusses the implications of AI and tokenization on markets, stressing that education and disciplined practices will help everyday investors thrive in a changing landscape.

Most investors start with a single-family home or a duplex. Jonathan Mueller started with an eight-unit roadside motel he bought for $250K. In this episode, he breaks down how that unexpected detour became the first domino in a journey that led to a 23-unit motel, a 108-site RV park on 70 acres, and a totally different vision for his family’s future. Jonathan opens up about overpaying for deals, moving his family across multiple states, living in an RV without running water, and going all-in on projects most people would be too afraid to touch. He shares how medium-term stays outperformed long-term rentals, why RV parks offer endless income streams, and how sweat equity, seller financing, and creative problem-solving helped him scale despite setbacks. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with lessons most people only learn the hard way. If you’ve ever felt stuck at the starting line, scared to make the wrong move, or unsure if you’re “ready,” Jonathan’s story is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something big. You just need to start and let the journey evolve. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Your biggest wealth leak is not your spending, your income, or even your investments. It is the way your debt is structured, and nobody ever taught you how to fix it. In this episode, we sit down with Josh Mettle to break down why every entrepreneur, investor, and small business owner needs a liability advisor. Just like you have asset advisors to grow your wealth, you need someone who helps you optimize the debt side of your financial picture so you can scale faster, protect your cash flow, and create long term stability. Josh reveals why today’s lending landscape is built for chaos, how interest rate cycles silently shape your net worth, why inflation destroys badly structured loans, and why most people are playing defense when they could be playing offense. We also walk through real examples of how business owners, W2 earners, and real estate investors can use HELOCs, DSCR loans, bridge loans, and non traditional financing to unlock opportunities that traditional lenders overlook. If you are serious about building wealth, this conversation will change the way you think about debt forever. And if you want to understand how much money your current debt structure is costing you, schedule a complimentary dreams and goals call with Josh’s team so you can evaluate your borrowing strategy and see where the hidden opportunities are waiting for you.https://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Everyone loves “free money” until they realize what it actually costs them. In this episode, we break down the silent wealth divide happening in real time and why the next decade will massively reward owners, investors, and creators while leaving everyone else behind. Headlines about new $2,000 stimulus checks and the introduction of 50-year mortgages make it feel like help is on the way, but moves like these quietly inflate the price of everything. They make housing more expensive, savings less valuable, and the wealth gap wider. We talk about how stimulus and easy credit made people feel richer in the moment but slowly eroded their purchasing power. The result is a growing chasm between people who own assets and people who only have income. We unpack why inflation punishes savers, why relying on a paycheck will never beat the speed of rising prices, and how the people who get ahead are the ones who understand leverage, equity, and asymmetric opportunity. Ownership isn’t just a financial strategy. It is a survival strategy. We also dive into the mindset shift required to avoid becoming a casualty of the system and instead position yourself on the right side of it. If you feel like you’re working harder but not getting ahead, or like the world is getting more expensive while your dollars buy less each year, this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing. The rules have changed. It is time to learn the game. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Have you ever wondered why some people can walk away from a comfortable career and bet everything on themselves? In this episode, Cory and Ryan sit down with former Rutgers football player and Wall Street trader turned real estate entrepreneur, Peter Tverdov, to unpack how an athlete mindset can completely change the way you approach money, work, and risk. Pete shares how growing up obsessed with football, grinding through division one practices, and then entering a rigid corporate environment showed him he was never wired for a safe nine to five. He walks through the moment he realized he would rather be unemployed than spend another year ignoring his potential, and how he used that same obsessive energy to quietly build a management and construction company that now oversees around one hundred million dollars of real estate in New Jersey. You will hear how property management became his real world classroom, why he believes most people are naturally meant to eat what they kill, and how living far below his means gave him the runway to take real swings. Pete also opens up about bringing his younger brother into the business, building systems so he could step out of day to day headaches, and designing a life where he can take vacations, drop his kids at school, and still play the long game in business. If you are an ex athlete, a high performer stuck in a corporate role, or someone who feels that unexplained pull toward something bigger, this conversation will show you what it actually looks like to bet on yourself and build a life you own. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!

Have you been telling yourself that you’ll focus on your health once you make it? In this episode, Cory sits down with Las Vegas broker, investor, and host of The Mindful Agent, Michael Coxen, to unpack the dangerous lie high performers tell themselves: “I’ll focus on my health once I’m successful.” Michael shares how grinding through long hours, stress, and “I’ll do everything myself” thinking led to a life-threatening battle with ulcerative colitis that left him at 115 pounds and forced him to rethink everything he believed about work, wealth, and winning.Michael walks through how he rebuilt his life and business from that rock-bottom moment, shifting from work–life “balance” to true work–life harmony. He breaks down the simple mindfulness habits he uses daily including conscious breathing, journaling, Tai Chi, that allow him to run a real estate brokerage, build a portfolio, and stay healthy at the same time. He also opens up about how he and his wife quietly built over $1.5M in equity by living in, improving, and renting out three homes over 15 years, why he still loves Las Vegas real estate, and how he thinks about seasons of hustle versus seasons of rest. If you’ve ever thought, “Once I hit X income, then I’ll take care of myself,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Health is wealth and if you don’t protect it on the way up, you may never get to enjoy what you’ve built. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES🏢 LLCs, Business Credit & Tax Optimization – Set up your business the right way!
