Episode 111: Don't Skip the Skip Tracing!
If we had a dollar for every time we heard "Skip Tracing" and "Driving for Dollars" at a REI meeting, we'd be rich! These are fundamentals of wholesaling.

Episode 106: "To boldly go where no one has gone before!" (Entering a New Market)
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Its continuing mission:
To explore strange new worlds...
To seek out new life; new civilizations...
To boldly go where no one has gone before!"
-- Jean-Luc Picard, Captain, Starship Enterprise; NCC-1701D
At certain parts in your wholesaling journey, it may occur where you may need to go "where no one has gone before-" so to speak. Realistically, more like where you have not gone before: into a new market! Entering a new market can sometimes feel as daunting as entering the great frontier of space. Luckily, WOB has some great information in this episode to make things easier!

Episode 105: Success Has to Start Somewhere
Success has to start somewhere, and that somewhere begins with the basics. Simply put: you need a good foundation to build a solid house. (Or, if you want to annoy Shawn, you could say you need “good bones.”)
In today’s podcast, the topic of discussion is setting yourself up for success. YOUR habits, YOUR schedule, YOUR day, etc… Turns out setting up YOURself for success starts with YOU! (Bet you didn’t see that coming…)

Episode 104: One BIG Question: "Why?"
It all starts with a word. With a question, really. “WHY?” Finding your “Why” is essential to developing your motivation, not just for wholesaling, but for everything! It’s like doing algebra- but infinitely more entertaining.
Today, join Ashley and Jacob as they each discuss their “Why” and other topics about mindset, motivation and more. In their candid discussion, we’ll hear why each of them does what they do, and we’ll hear their discussion of the value of your time.
Wholesalers, rehabbers, investors and others- let’s solve this important formula to find your “Why”

Episode 103: Wholesaling- Real Estate's Biggest Anti-Hero
Are wholesalers the Deadpool of real estate? In this podcast episode, we’re discussing why we would consider wholesaling to be the anti-hero job of real estate. We’ll be discussing the financial and economic benefits of wholesaling, and also discussing the most important part- doing good business.We won’t be “like a boy-scout,” but as every good anti-hero does, we’ll be the ones to do the right thing.

Episode 94: Sunday Strategy Sessions
Our Sunday Strategy Sessions are the least structured of all of our meetings. This is the chance to really dig in deep and ask all those random questions about real estate investing. After all, there's no judgement in brainstorming! We like to look at these as mastermind sessions, while Shawn will lead and answer questions, the participants will ultimately decide on the flow of the talk and where it goes.

Not sure how to talk to sellers? Well our Director's Commentary Episodes will definitely help you! In our Director's Commentary Series, one or more of us will break down a call with a seller. We'll go through the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly as we show you what we did right, or what helped us get the deal, or where the call went totally off the rails!
This week Jacob McPherson breaks down one of his own calls with a seller. He's upfront about what he did right and what he did wrong and he does a great job of showing you how to take stock and evaluate your own calls to make yourself a better wholesaler!

We've even included detailed descriptions explaining the pros and cons of each call. And on top of that, our Library is always growing!
