Bricks and Banks Podcast | Real Estate, Investment and Wealth Strategies

Ryan Lee lost most of his savings in 2008 while doing everything by the book. Instead of going back to the same broken system, he walked away from a six-figure corporate salary at 34, built a $250M real estate portfolio, and created a wealth framework that most people will never hear about from their bank or financial advisor.In this episode Ryan breaks down why the traditional retirement plan is designed to fail you, how he bought 17 properties without having all the capital upfront, the four economic forces quietly working against your wealth right now, and the insurance vault strategy that billionaires have quietly used for decades.The shift from the dependency economy to the ownership economy is the conversation nobody is having. Until now.Get the book and free companion course: http://retirein10years.comConnect with Ryan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-d-lee-31838b304/YouTube: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCxagbyQYP_R_Z6lYIESG59ASubscribe to Bricks and Banks for weekly conversations on real estate, personal finance, and building wealth on your own terms.

Jeremy has built over 9,000 investment vehicles and pioneered the concept of SPV in a Box — making sophisticated private investment structures accessible to everyday investors, not just the ultra-wealthy.We break down exactly what a Special Purpose Vehicle is, why it has become the go-to structure for modern private investing, and how automation is reshaping the way founders, syndicators and angel investors deploy capital.Jeremy Neilson is a seasoned legal-tech innovator, founder, and CEO of Sally, with a mission to make private investments accessible, simple, and efficient.

Bricks & Banks Podcast is participating in Podcasthon 2026 and we couldn't think of a better way to show up than with an episode that challenges how your organisation thinks about AI. Because here's the truth: AI agents are moving fast — but is your data infrastructure built to keep up? In this episode, we unpack the hidden gap between experimenting with AI and truly building for scale in financial services.Agentic AI is no longer a buzzword — it's reshaping how financial institutions detect fraud, process loans, manage risk, and serve customers in real time. But here's the truth most leaders are missing: even the most advanced AI model will fail if the data beneath it is slow, fragmented, or inaccessible.In this power-packed episode, host Stephanie Onwuemenyi sits down with Ashley Vassell, Senior Product Manager at Hydrolix's Innovation Lab, to break down the data infrastructure gap in agentic AI — and what finance leaders actually need to do about it.Ashley brings deep expertise in cloud computing, distributed systems, and high-performance data platforms. She's built and shipped real AI products — and she's here to give you the practical, no-hype truth.👩🏾‍💻 About Our Guest:Ashley Vassell is a Senior Product Manager at Hydrolix, where she leads the Innovation Lab — a team of 13 engineers building AI-powered products including anomaly detection systems and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server infrastructure.
