How to Activate Your Network and Make Money with Jarrod Randolph
In this episode, Jim sits down with real estate pro turned relationship operator, Jarrod Guy Randolph. They talk straight about access to wealth and why your phone is a graveyard of unrealized capital. They break down Jarrod’s “Buying Favor” operating system, the FAVOR network map, why most masterminds are wasting time, and how humility beats ego when you’re leveling up. What You’ll Learn Why the saying “your network is your net worth” misses the real key: activation How Jarrod’s FAVOR framework (Friends, Associates, Vendors, Organizations, Relatives) becomes a roadmap to deals, capital, and growth Why proximity creates access, and access creates knowledge that can’t be learned in a classroom How the most successful entrepreneurs lead with humility, not ego—and why giving comes before asking A proven system to make masterminds profitable: host the room, follow up fast, and become a center of influence Action Steps 1. Map the FAVOR Five Entrepreneurs can list three to five names under each category of FAVOR. Each name should be tied to a specific ask, whether it’s insight, a connection, or capital. 2. Practice Give-Give-Ask Before making any ask, add value twice. Share a resource, make an introduction, or help solve a problem. On the third touchpoint, make a high-value, aligned request. 3. Host the Room At the next event or mastermind, book a dinner with 10–12 attendees. Curate the group, build real connections, and follow up within 14 days to keep momentum alive. Jarrod Guy Randolph’s Powerful Word “Your phone isn’t a contact list—it’s a balance sheet. The moment you learn to activate it, you unlock the capital, the partners, and the opportunities you’ve been sitting on.” Connect with Jarrod Randolph: Instagram: YouTube: LinkedIn:

Install the STOP + Box Breath Reset Several times a day: Stop, Track sensations, Observe thoughts, Put a name to the emotion. Then 4x4 box breathing to re-engage your prefrontal cortex.

How AI Can Power Your Business with Blair Gatchel
In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim is joined by Blair Gatchell of Breva.ai to discuss how business owners can use artificial intelligence to make better acquisition and management decisions. They examine how replacing gut instinct with real-time analytics can reduce risk, improve cash flow, and create a sustainable framework for growth. 3 Key Takeaways: The Value of a Defined Process – A clear, repeatable process for evaluating and acquiring businesses creates consistency and reduces reliance on intuition. AI as a Decision-Making Tool – Artificial intelligence can assess financial health, identify risks, and surface opportunities faster and more accurately than manual analysis. Post-Acquisition Performance – Technology can help monitor cash flow, measure operational health, and keep managers accountable long after the deal closes. Business ownership requires more than vision—it demands a system for making informed, fact-based decisions. The right tools can help owners identify the best opportunities, manage them effectively, and expand without sacrificing control. Connect with Blair Gatchel: Linkedin: Website

The Science of Bravery: Overcoming Fear with Jill Schulman
In this episode of Breakaway Wealth Podcast, Jim sits down with Jill Schulman—US Marine veteran and positive psychology expert—to break down the science of bravery and why action - not motivation - moves outcomes. They map a practical path to confront fear, build daily reps, and apply courage to business and money decisions. 3 Key Takeaways: Bravery reframed: not heroics, but voluntary action in the presence of fear toward a worthwhile goal; most modern fear is social (failure, rejection, embarrassment), amplified by a comfort-first culture. Action over fear: use graded exposure and “mastery experiences” (Bandura) to build self-efficacy; schedule the hard task early, track behaviors not outcomes, and let consistency—not motivation—carry the work. Environment and systems: build a “brave tribe” to leverage conformity effects; apply PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement/flow, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) to raise performance; treat early failures as required feedback on the way to results. Thanks to Jill for outlining a clear model for building bravery and putting it to work! If this episode moved you to act, take one small step today and track it.

Break the Rules to Build Your Wealth with Chris Prefontaine
In this episode, Jim welcomes the extraordinary Chris Prefontaine, founder of Smart Real Estate Coach, for a deep dive into the mindset, structure, and discipline required to build financial freedom through creative real estate investing. Prefontaine shares lessons from the 2008 crash, explains why coaching matters, and offers practical pathways for people looking to break free from traditional financial systems and build sustainable wealth. 3 Key Takeaways: Creative real estate is a discipline, not a tactic. Chris outlines a three-step approach to real estate success. Coaching is about accountability, not just motivation. Real transformation comes from daily tracking, public accountability, and consistent feedback—not from a one-time seminar. Cash flow > Nest eggs. Chris and Jim challenge conventional retirement thinking, offering examples of individuals who liquidated 401(k)s and replaced stagnant savings with income-producing assets.

What Really Drives Returns in Private Real Estate with Jacob Vanderslice

What Really Drives Returns in Private Real Estate with Jacob Vanderslice
In a market flooded with pitch decks and pro forma promises, what actually drives durable returns in private real estate? In this episode, Jim sits down with Jacob Vanderslice of VanWest Partners to dissect the operational backbone of self-storage, the risks behind the spreadsheets, and why real investors focus on downside protection more than projected upside. Key Takeaways: Self-storage is an operating business. With granular rent streams, month-to-month leases, and retail-level management, it’s not just real estate—it’s operations. Cycles expose weak decisions. Jacob shares how forced timing, tax pressures, and poor planning can destroy returns—and how to avoid those traps. The right questions matter. A good pitch isn’t enough. Investors should ask about worst-case outcomes, not just IRR targets. Self-storage may look simple from the outside, but as Jacob Vanderslice makes clear, consistent returns come from disciplined operations, not market timing. W hether you're using Infinite Banking or other private capital strategies, the message is the same: know your operator, understand the risks, and focus on long-term execution—not short-term projections.

Inside the Minds of Multi-Millionaires: Wealth, Legacy, and Risk in 2025 with Tad Fallows
In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim speaks with Tad Fallows, entrepreneur and founder of Long Angle, a private community for individuals with $2.2M+ in investable assets. They discuss how wealth creators think about investing, raising children without entitlement, and maintaining purpose after a business exit. 3 Key Takeaways: Portfolio strategy beyond Wall Street: High-net-worth individuals are moving away from traditional 60/40 portfolios, favoring private equity, real assets, and niche alternative investments for uncorrelated, equity-like returns. Post-exit risk mindset: Many entrepreneurs opt for higher-return, illiquid investments rather than de-risking, based on the belief that volatility is manageable when wealth exceeds basic needs. Raising children with financial independence: The most consistent concern among members of Fallows' community is how to instill grit and self-sufficiency in children growing up with financial abundance. If you're serious about breaking away from conventional thinking and building lasting wealth, this conversation offers a clear window into how high-level entrepreneurs manage their capital, family, and future.

Scarcity to Control: The Mindset Shift Behind Financial Freedom with Jim Oliver

Scarcity to Control: The Mindset Shift Behind Financial Freedom with Jim Oliver
In this episode, Jim walks through the shift that changed everything: from chasing returns to building freedom through ownership and control. He shares the early lessons—from a casket factory in Gary, Indiana to Wall Street boardrooms—that forced him to question the financial playbook most people follow. The real breakthrough? Understanding that freedom isn’t about having more—it’s about controlling what you already earn. 3 Takeaways: Ownership is leverage. Watching a business owner control time and capital changed Jim’s view of wealth. It’s not about working more—it’s about owning the system. Control creates independence. Through Infinite Banking and cash-flow assets, Jim took back control from banks, brokers, and traditional planners. Noise is the enemy. Schools, media, and advisors push dependence. Freedom starts by questioning the script—and taking action. This episode is for anyone tired of playing defense. Listen, share, and hit subscribe to join a community that plays offense with money.

Why Strategic Metals Are the New Oil with Louis O’Connor
In this episode, Jim talks with Louis O’Connor, founder of Strategic Metals Invest, about a little-known asset class that’s playing an outsized role in energy, defense, and global manufacturing: rare earth and strategic metals. Louis breaks down how investors can position themselves ahead of the demand curve—and why most people have never heard of these assets. 3 Key Takeaways: Critical inputs, limited access. Strategic metals power everything from semiconductors to EVs and missile systems. But most investors are locked out. Direct ownership is now possible. Private investors can hold metals like gallium and hafnium in secure vaults—and sell directly to manufacturers. Geopolitics drives opportunity. China’s control over the supply chain creates volatility, trade tension, and leverage for early movers. Most portfolios react to the market. This is a chance to get ahead of it.

Why High-Income Earners Still Fail at Wealth with Loral Langemeier
In this engaging conversation, Jim and Loral Langemeier explore the myths surrounding money, the importance of financial education, and the connection between health and wealth. Loral shares her insights on living a corporate life, alternative investments, and the significance of teamwork in achieving success. The discussion also highlights the Millionaire Maker Game as a tool for financial education and the necessity of being proactive in financial planning. Key Takeaways: Corporate structure is essential: Loral breaks down how running your life through entities—rather than as an individual—creates tax efficiency, asset protection, and long-term planning advantages. Everything you were taught about money is fragmented: Financial education in schools, from CPAs, and through media often ignores how real wealth is built. Loral outlines how integrating tax, estate, and insurance strategy is the missing link. Family legacy requires intention: Teaching financial values at home, not in school, is critical. Loral discusses how games, daily conversations, and structured learning can prepare the next generation to preserve—not squander—wealth. If you're still living as a sole proprietor, waiting for permission, or putting your future in the hands of traditional advisors, this conversation will challenge you to rethink everything.

From 401(k)s to Cash Flow: Breaking Free with Infinite Banking and Real Estate with Glenn Yaney
In this conversation, Jim and Glenn Yaney discuss the journey to financial independence through real estate and the Infinite Banking Concept. Glenn shares how he moved beyond conventional financial advice, took control of his capital, and built sustainable wealth with cash-flowing assets. His story is a direct challenge to the status quo—and a blueprint for ownership. 3 Key Takeaways: Traditional advice doesn’t build freedom: Years of 401(k) contributions left Glenn with illiquid assets. It was business and real estate ownership that created true independence. The cost of inaction is control: Glenn used tax strategies to move capital out of retirement accounts and into mobile home parks and apartments—multiplying income and gaining access. Proximity is leverage: By surrounding himself with people who were already financially free, Glenn accelerated his learning and took confident action toward breaking away from his W-2. Glenn Yaney didn’t wait—he took control, broke from the herd, and built real freedom through ownership and cash flow. If you're still following the conventional path, ask yourself: is it really working? It’s time to think different. It’s time to own your future. Connect with Glenn Yaney: Podcast: Website:

Best Of: Weighing The Opportunity Cost of Your Financial Decisions with Jim and Nick
In this episode, Jim Oliver and cohost Nick Kosko explore how the principle of Economic Value Added (EVA), widely used by corporations, can be applied to personal finance. They challenge conventional financial advice, specifically addressing the hidden cost of capital and its implications for wealth-building strategies like Infinite Banking. Key Takeaways: Understanding EVA: EVA is calculated using three components—Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT), cost of capital, and capital employed—and helps determine whether an enterprise is generating true value. Your Family is a Business: Just like a corporation, your household economy should account for the cost of capital to ensure efficient use of resources and long-term wealth accumulation. Lost Opportunity Cost: Paying with cash may seem simple, but it often ignores the potential returns that capital could have generated if deployed differently, leading to underestimated financial losses. Jim and Nick make the case that applying corporate finance principles like EVA to your personal finances isn’t just possible—it’s essential. By recognizing your family as an economic entity and accounting for the true cost of capital, you can make more informed decisions that align with long-term wealth creation. The key isn’t just about how much money you make, but how efficiently you deploy and grow that capital over time.

Financial Freedom Isn’t the Final Destination with Jim Oliver
In this solo episode, Jim Oliver challenges the traditional notion that financial freedom is the ultimate destination. Instead, he reframes it as the beginning of a more meaningful journey—one rooted in ownership, impact, and legacy. Drawing on personal stories, lessons from Infinite Banking, and thought-provoking metaphors, Jim urges listeners to shift from escape to empowerment and build a life of purpose beyond financial independence. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Financial Freedom Is Just the Start Most people chase financial independence like it’s the goal. It’s not. It’s just the starting line. Once you’re free, that’s when the real game—impact, leverage, and legacy—begins. 2. Control the Money, Control the Outcome When you control the money, you control the outcome. Infinite Banking puts you in the driver’s seat—no more waiting on approvals, no more lost opportunity cost. You become the bank. 3. Impact Is the Ultimate ROI True wealth isn’t just about what you earn or save—it’s about what you build that outlives you. After freedom comes impact. The mission shifts from accumulation to contribution. Book Recommendations: Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach (particularly the opening parable about the creatures in the stream) Best Advice Jim Ever Received: “Let go.” Like the creature who released his grip on the rock to discover what the stream had in store, stepping into the unknown is the only way to discover what you're truly capable of.
