Today, I welcome Nick Stromwall to The Investing Secrets Podcast.

Jonathan is the co-founder of DivGro and today he shares how he is building a long-term investment fund designed to compound capital through rapid dividend growth over a 30-year horizon. He breaks down why his team focuses on about 30 high-quality companies, how the Gordon Growth Model helped shape DivGro’s philosophy, and why dividend growth can offer a more grounded signal of business progress than day-to-day share price volatility. Jonathan also dives into the psychology of investing, explaining why mastering your mindset matters just as much as mastering the financial merits of what you own, and how thoughtful feedback can help investors stay the course through fear, noise, and market dislocation.

Jeff also dives into his path from running multiple businesses into real estate syndication, how he thinks about risk, underwriting, and sponsor execution, and why he remains bullish on housing and development opportunities heading into 2026.

He highlights the core principles that have stayed with him from the beginning, including responsiveness, creativity, and the ability to structure deals in ways that create opportunity even in changing markets.

Today, I welcome Tom Dunkel to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Tom is the founder of Eagle Capital Investments and today he shares how his background in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and entrepreneurial real estate investing helped shape his approach to building wealth through private markets. He highlights how years of operating in distressed mortgage notes, self-storage, and short-term rentals ultimately led him to create a fund-to-funds model that gives investors access to vetted operators, stronger deal economics, and more thoughtful diversification outside the public markets. Tom also dives into why he believes most investors have been conditioned to think too narrowly about wealth building, how private lending and cash-flowing alternatives can create real financial freedom, and why sponsor selection is the single most important factor when evaluating any private deal. With decades of experience across corporate finance, private capital, and real estate, he distills lessons that are just as useful for someone just starting to think beyond Wall Street as they are for seasoned investors looking to preserve capital, generate cash flow, and compound wealth more intentionally.

Today, I welcome Jordan Canino to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jordan is the Senior Director of Investor Relations at Hearthfire and today he shares how his career took a winding path through private equity real estate, law school, a short stint chasing a career as a sports agent in New York, and brokerage roles at firms like JLL and Colliers, before ultimately finding his lane in the self-storage industry. He highlights how those experiences led him into acquisitions and capital markets roles where he helped scale storage portfolios and raise capital from both retail investors and institutional partners.Jordan also breaks down why self-storage has become one of the most resilient sectors in real estate, explaining how demand tends to hold up even during economic downturns due to downsizing, relocation, and changing living patterns. He walks through what makes a strong storage investment—from analyzing supply and demand within a three-mile radius to evaluating rent trends, population growth, and barriers to new supply that protect long-term returns.He also dives into how institutional storage investors operate, including partnerships with major operators like CubeSmart and Extra Space, the value-add strategies used to improve performance, and why operational efficiency and market selection are critical to generating the high-teen to low-20% IRR returns many investors seek in the space.Welcome Jordan, to The Investing Secrets Podcast....Follow Jordan Canino:Website: https://go.hfireholdings.com/invest-in-self-storage-with-jordanLinkedIn: go.hfireholdings.comFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Trey Taylor to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Trey runs a multi-generation family office and today he shares how he was unexpectedly thrust into the CEO seat at just 31 years old after his father passed away - forcing him to learn leadership, decision-making, and capital allocation in real time. That baptism-by-fire ultimately shaped the frameworks he now teaches leaders and executives, and it became the foundation for his book built around a simple idea: a CEO only does three things - culture, people, and numbers.Trey also breaks down how being a real operator gives him an edge as an investor - because he’s seen the blind spots and “looks good on paper” assumptions that destroy returns in the real world. He walks through how his family office allocates across public markets, private equity, venture, private credit, and real estate, and why most Americans being almost entirely concentrated in public markets is less about strategy - and more about how Wall Street structured the system.We also dive into why private credit has been one of his favorite areas in this cycle, what’s working, and why it’s not as simple as collecting mailbox money. And then Trey tells one of my favorite stories in the episode: how he bought a vacant grocery store, negotiated it down, secured zoning approvals, and converted it into a climate-controlled storage facility - structuring the deal so his cash-in was minimal with massive upside on exit.To close it out, Trey shares what he’s watching in 2026 - rate cuts, volatility, and why real estate remains one of the cleanest long-term wealth engines when you understand debt, inflation, and compounding.Welcome Trey, to The Investing Secrets Podcast....Follow Trey:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/treytaylor/Website: https://trey-taylor.com/Follow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtW

Today, I welcome Ken Gee to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Ken is the founder of KRI Partners and today he shares how he walked away from the “do everything right” career path - banking, CPA work, and long nights at Deloitte - after realizing success on paper wasn’t worth missing his family’s life in real time. He highlights how buying three small multifamily deals on the side—and selling them three years later for half a million dollars - gave him the proof (and the confidence) that he could bet on himself and build real wealth through apartment investing.Ken also dives into the real hurdle most investors face early on: not strategy - belief. He breaks down how growing up without money created a mental ceiling, and how he had to fight through the idea that anyone would ever “be dumb enough” to lend him money for a large property. From there, he walks through the evolution of his business from heavy value-add in Cleveland to scaling into Florida, learning capital raising out of necessity, and ultimately shifting into a fund model - raising money first so brokers take you seriously and deals come to you differently when you’re already capitalized.With nearly three decades of experience, Ken distills the core principles that keep investors alive in every cycle: understand underwriting beyond napkin math, prioritize long-term debt to protect your runway, and refuse to negotiate your standards when the market gets loud. He also breaks down why the real money in multifamily isn’t the cash flow - it’s the appreciation, and how tiny income moves can create massive value through NOI multiples.And before he leaves the vault, Ken delivers the warning every investor needs tattooed on their brain: don’t get FOMO - because the only cure is discipline.

Today, I welcome Heather Ewing to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Heather is the founder of Abstract Commercial Real Estate, a boutique advisory and brokerage firm focused on retail, restaurants, and mixed-use development. Today she shares why she chose to go independent instead of aligning with a major brand - and how staying in one highly specialized lane has helped her build deeper relationships, stronger deal flow, and cleaner execution for developers, landlords, and tenants.Heather also breaks down what most investors miss when they evaluate retail and mixed-use projects: the real backbone isn’t the flashy projections - it’s the lease structure. She dives into the mechanics of triple-net leasing, lender-driven pre-leasing requirements, and the nuanced details that can make or break deals - everything from parking ratios and ceiling heights to HVAC tonnage, attorney selection, and why using a true triple-net specialist matters if you want to avoid expensive mistakes.With over a decade in this niche and “tennies on the ground” market knowledge, Heather distills the core lesson that applies to both operators and passive investors: relationships still run commercial real estate - and your results are only as strong as the quality of your inputs. She shares how off-market opportunities are actually sourced, why market data alone can’t replace local intelligence, and why working with a niche broker can be the difference between a stable performer and a deal that never crosses the finish line.Welcome Heather, to The Investing Secrets Podcast....Follow Heather:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermewing/Website: ABSTRACTCommercialRealEstate.comFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Denise Ford to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Denise is a land investor and today she shares how a sudden W2 layoff - with less than two hours’ notice - became the catalyst that pushed her to go all-in on building real wealth through vacant land deals. She highlights how she started with straightforward cash flips, then adapted fast when market conditions shifted - moving into seller financing, targeting smarter micro-markets, and adding value through everything from utilities to splits and even manufactured housing. Denise also dives into how getting burned by the wrong operator led her to level up - earning her manufactured home dealer’s license in Arizona so she could control quality, expand her options, and create entirely new ways to monetize land. With a practical, creative approach to problem-solving, she breaks down how she funds deals (often self-funding, plus select JVs), how she uses nontraditional financing like seller finance and options, and why relationship-building with sellers can beat higher offers.

Today, I welcome Wayne Courreges III to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Wayne is the Managing Principal of CRI Partners, where he has built and oversees a $50 million commercial real estate portfolio by focusing on disciplined operations and conservative underwriting. In this episode, Wayne breaks down why commercial real estate success isn’t about flashy acquisitions or door counts, but about executing the business plan after the deal closes. Drawing on his 16-year career at CBRE working with institutional owners like MetLife and JP Morgan, he shares how that operational foundation shaped his approach to multifamily investing and syndication. Wayne also explains how passive investing opens the door for everyday professionals - not just institutions or the ultra-wealthy - to build generational wealth, especially in today’s challenging market. We dive into why saying “no” to frothy deals paid off, how buying when others are running creates outsized opportunity, and the critical mistakes investors made in their 2019-2021 assumptions. With practical insights on grit, capital raising, market cycles, and why “don’t expect what you don’t inspect” is a rule to live by, this conversation is packed with real-world lessons for both passive and aspiring active investors.

Today, I welcome Jen Laurence to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jen is the founder of Luxury Lifestyle Logistics and today she shares what she’s learned from spending over 25 years inside ultra-high-net-worth households, helping families turn chaos into calm without losing the soul of the home. She highlights why trust is the real currency in private service, why running an estate isn’t the same as running a company, and how many successful CEOs hit a wall the moment they try to “scale” family life the way they scale business. Jen also dives into the operational blind spots that show up as wealth grows - staffing structures, role clarity, training, and systems - and explains why “a home is not a hotel,” even when families want five-star service. With deep experience in hospitality, private service, and organizational leadership, she distills lessons that are just as useful for families building their first household team as they are for seasoned family office ecosystems trying to protect what matters most.

Dave also dives into his slow, sequential path as an investor - from DIY single-family homes to becoming a general partner on large multifamily and conversion projects - including office and hospital-to-apartment developments. With a philosophy rooted in “doing well by doing good,” he distills lessons on discipline, team building, and capital stewardship that are just as valuable for new investors as they are for experienced operators.Welcome Dave, to The Investing Secrets Podcast...Follow Dave:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/48QTJyYFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Jay Young to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jay is a fourth-generation oilman and the Founder & CEO of King Operating Corporation, a Dallas-based oil and gas firm specializing in what he calls the new school methodology of energy investing. In this episode, he breaks down how this modern approach differs from the traditional “drill-and-hope” model that has caused generations of investors to lose capital - and why scaling large acreage positions, proving out multiple well locations, and selling to institutional buyers has created far more consistent outcomes for investors.Jay highlights how his team identifies massive ranches and field developments - like their 60,000-acre project near Amarillo - where dozens or even hundreds of future drilling locations exist. He explains how they drill a select number of horizontal wells to establish production, demonstrate value, and generate meaningful cash flow before selling the entire package to a public company that pays a premium for the remaining development upside.We also dive into why this strategy mirrors how large family offices and institutional energy groups invest, and how retail investors can now participate with the same tax advantages - including the ability to write off a significant portion of their investment in year one. Jay walks through the core differences between his large-scale development model and the old-school approach of drilling isolated prospects, why the latter often fails, and how scaling proven acreage has driven some of the biggest exits in oil and gas history.With decades of industry experience and a business plan grounded in repeatability, engineering innovation, and risk reduction, Jay distills lessons that investors - new or seasoned - can use to evaluate opportunities in one of the most misunderstood asset classes in the alternative investment landscape.Welcome Jay, to The Investing Secrets Podcast…Follow Jay:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4iwfKHXFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Joe Downs to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Joe is the Managing Partner of Belrose Self Storage Group, and today he shares how he built a rapidly growing national self-storage portfolio after a winding career that took him through broker-dealer equity raises, distressed debt, and multiple reinventions. He walks us through his unlikely path into self-storage, how he pivoted industries again and again, and why that resilience ultimately led him to one of the most profitable niches in commercial real estate.Joe also breaks down the story of his very first storage deal - an overlooked 20,000-square-foot facility in Maryland that he and his partners transformed by reconfiguring units, tightening operations, and applying true hands-on management. In less than 20 months, they doubled the value of the property and sold to an institutional buyer, proving the power of the mom-and-pop opportunity and setting the foundation for the portfolio they operate today.Later in the episode, Joe dives into the key criteria he uses when evaluating a storage acquisition: hyper-local supply and demand, population trends, competitive REIT behavior, and the demographic patterns that determine whether an operator thrives or fails. He explains why self-storage is still dominated by mom-and-pop owners, why the “silver tsunami” is creating unprecedented deal flow, and why creative financing - especially seller-financed transactions - remains one of the biggest advantages in this asset class.With over a decade of experience across multiple real estate sectors, Joe distills the lessons, mistakes, and insights that any active or passive investor can use to identify strong opportunities and avoid costly missteps.Welcome Joe, to The Investing Secrets Podcast…Follow Joe:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4olTy4yFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Brent Kesler to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Brent is the creator of The Money Multiplier System and has taught thousands of people how to leverage the Infinite Banking Concept to eliminate debt and build lasting wealth. In this episode, he shares how he used this very system to wipe out nearly $1 million of personal debt in just 39 months - without changing his cash flow, taking on additional risk, or losing control of his money.Brent breaks down the mechanics of infinite banking, explaining how properly structured whole life insurance policies - designed for high, immediate cash value - can be used to recapture and recycle every dollar that passes through your financial life. He reveals how this concept has been quietly used for centuries by families like the Rockefellers and businesses like Disney and McDonald’s, and why it remains one of the most misunderstood wealth-building tools today.Later in the episode, Brent tackles the biggest objections around life insurance, addresses common misconceptions, and walks through the math behind how he paid off his debt and built a seven-figure portfolio using this strategy. He also shares his mentor’s influence - R. Nelson Nash, author of Becoming Your Own Banker - and why the principles of infinite banking can help investors take back control from traditional lenders and the government alike.With over 17,000 active clients and nearly two decades teaching this method nationwide, Brent delivers one of the most eye-opening frameworks for personal finance you’ll ever hear.Welcome Brent, to The Investing Secrets Podcast...Follow Brent:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/49jomz7Website: https://bit.ly/4i0z1koFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Ali brings over 40 years of experience in the mobile home park industry, having grown up in the business, while Daniel brings a modern investor’s perspective on scaling operations, raising capital, and creating vertically integrated efficiencies.They break down how their team is using value-add strategies to drive returns - including bringing in new manufactured homes, improving occupancy rates, and structuring creative seller-financing models that benefit both investors and residents. Daniel and Ali also explain how their vertically integrated model - combining community ownership, property management, and a licensed dealer arm - allows them to buy homes wholesale, sell retail, and unlock multiple layers of profit inside each community.Later, they discuss the macro trends shaping the future of the manufactured housing industry, from rising institutional interest and market consolidation to the growing demand for affordable housing nationwide. Despite increased competition, they see institutional capital as a net positive - accelerating legitimacy and liquidity in a sector still ripe with opportunity for skilled operators.With decades of combined experience and a clear strategy for bridging the gap between mom-and-pop owners and institutional buyers, Daniel and Ali reveal why manufactured housing remains one of the most resilient, cash-flowing, and undervalued asset classes in America.Welcome Daniel and Ali, to The Investing Secrets Podcast...Follow Daniel:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4oxNSp6Follow Ali:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hVPbMcFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?

Today, I welcome Gian Pazzia to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Gian is the Co-Founder of KBKG, one of the largest cost segregation firms in the United States, and today he breaks down how real estate investors use cost segregation and depreciation to dramatically reduce - and in many cases, eliminate - their taxable income.

Later, he reveals how short-term rental owners can tap into the “short-term rental loophole” to offset ordinary income, and how residential investors can now access cost segregation studies at a fraction of the cost through his firm’s software.With over 25 years of experience serving some of the nation’s largest real estate owners, Gian demystifies complex tax strategies in a way that any investor can understand and apply.

Today, I welcome Patrick Grimes to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Patrick is the founder of Passive Investing Mastery and has devoted his career to educating W2 professionals on alternative investment strategies outside of Wall Street. After losing it all during the 2008–2009 recession, Patrick rebuilt his portfolio from the ground up, eventually transitioning out of his full-time engineering career into a life of investing and educating others.In this episode, Patrick shares the critical lessons he learned from his early mistakes and why he believes non-correlated, recession-resilient investments are the smartest way to build long-term wealth in 2025 and beyond. He explains how most Americans are still brainwashed into believing stocks and bonds are the only way, while the wealthy have long used alternatives like real estate, oil and gas, private credit, and even litigation finance to diversify and protect their wealth. Patrick dives into these niche strategies - including litigation finance, a little-known but powerful asset class that funds contingency legal cases for a share of the profits.With candor and humility, Patrick reveals how he turned failure into a blueprint for success and why diversification into truly non-correlated investments is the antidote to fear of the next market downturn. Whether you’re just starting your investment journey or looking for advanced strategies to recession-proof your portfolio, Patrick’s story and insights offer valuable lessons for every investor.Welcome Patrick, to The Investing Secrets Podcast...Follow Patrick:Website: https://bit.ly/3IrrvC5LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4mOiYa5Follow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?
