Jordan was a pastor for 15 years and transitioned out of full-time ministry into buying a

laundromat. His experience buying his first laundromat was not a good one. Instead of replacing

his salary, as he expected, his laundromat lost $2,000 dollars per month for well over a year.

Desperate to find help to turn his business around, he frantically searched for someone to guide

him to profitability. He found no rescue. After finally stopping the bleeding, he decided to share

the hard-earned (and expensive) lessons he learned on a blog. And then on a YouTube

channel. And then, on a quest to find out how the best laundromat owners operated their

businesses, he started a podcast interviewing laundromat owners and other industry

professionals. These platforms turned into Laundromat Resource, an education and community

platform for laundromat owners and future laundromat owners to learn, share best practices, and connect with one another.

Throughout Pasha’s successful professional ventures, the unfolding of his dream focuses on his value of sustainable community development.

The future includes an NGO where all the Evoke properties provide nurturing and interconnected community for his residents. The plans are for valuable educational resources within finance, nutrition, and emotional intelligence. Pasha is committed to building an environment that empowers and encourages its residents to grow, achieve and thrive.

EP 163: Randy Smith and Rob Natale - Helping medical professionals buy back their time and expand their wealth

Rob Natale is the Founder of North Square Capital, a privately held real estate investment firm in Boston, Massachusetts. 

He spent numerous years at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, a prominent global asset management company. During this time, he collaborated with financial advisors and their teams, overseeing assets ranging from $20 million to over $3 billion.

However, he couldn't help but notice that these highly successful teams operated in isolation. They rarely shared new ideas or strategies that could benefit a more sophisticated audience, like several of his relatives who dedicated their lives to medicine; he saw how the financial services industry poorly served them.

He soon discovered a financial secret: his mission is to help medical professionals buy back their time, expand their wealth, and redirect their funds from Wall Street to Main Street through passive real estate opportunities.

Rob graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Rhode Island, and he also obtained his Graduate Certificate in the Advanced Study of Management from Northeastern University. He currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts, and in his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, especially his three little nieces. Rob also enjoys exploring the city's many food options and staying active.
