Best Ever Conference Podcast

Coming to you live from the Best Ever Conference 10 in Salt Lake City, Rod Zabriskie sits in the host seat with Brenyn “Babyface” McConnell for a field-report style episode: what we saw, what we learned, and what it means for everyday investors trying to build real freedom.One of the biggest surprises? There are more quality deals out there than most people think—especially when you get out of your normal circles and into the rooms where operators, sponsors, and serious investors gather. This isn’t about chasing shiny objects. It’s about widening your lens and realizing the opportunity set is bigger than your current feed.They also unpack how the alternative space has expanded far beyond “just multifamily.” Multifamily isn’t dead (far from it), but the conference spotlighted a broader menu: retail done the right way, self-storage, medical, assisted living, mobile home parks, even gas stations—and relationship-driven debt funds with shorter timelines and cash flow.Finally, Rod and Brenyn share a theme that kept showing up everywhere: community is a force multiplier. The GP world is more collaborative than you might expect, and when you plug into the right circles—conferences, webinars, and groups like the Money Insights community—you stop investing like an island and start building momentum with like-minded people.Key TakeawaysThere are more deals (and better operators) than most people assume.Diversification in alternatives goes way beyond multifamily.Relationship-based debt funds can offer shorter timelines and cash flow.“Co-living” can boost cash flow by renting by the room, not the house.ADUs are becoming a powerful lever as states fast-track approvals.Community accelerates your learning—and can shorten your investing timeline.Money Insights is a strategic planning firm that is founded on the principle that "off-the-shelf" products and solutions often do not meet the needs of high-income earners.
