Tribe Builders
From the day I left my 9 to 5 job and created financial freedom through real estate, my life has transformed for the better. I owe it all to the community that I became a part of and continued to build. The relationships, information, and resources provided changed my life and I want to do the same for you. Each week I will provide tools and tips and stories on how to achieve freedom.

57: Friendship in the Age of Polarization
Reflections on Friendship, Politics & Growing Up This episode is different. No teaching, no tactics—just me, talking through something I’ve been sitting with. I'm reflecting on what it means to grow older and navigate friendships that don’t quite align the way they used to—especially in today’s political climate. Social media algorithms, evolving beliefs, and the weirdness of adulthood all play a part. Can we still hold space for each other, even when we don’t see eye to eye? I don’t have answers, but I do have thoughts. If you’ve been feeling this too, come sit with me.

53: Unexpected Connections: How Chance Meetings Turn Into Life-Changing Opportunities
In this special episode of Tribe Builders, we’re taking a look back at three powerful stories of unexpected connections that changed everything. From a chance meeting in a bank line that led to a long-term business partnership, to seeing someone working in the coffee shop that sparked an idea for a mentor relationship, to one man's dedication to adding value that ended with him being gifted a portion of an apartment building—these moments remind us that opportunity often hides in plain sight. These stories, from past guests Alex, Tato, and Kurt, are proof that the best relationships often start when you least expect them. Whether it’s through daily interactions, a willingness to talk to strangers, or consistently showing up with value, building your tribe isn’t always about strategy—it’s about staying open, curious, and generous. Tune in to be reminded that some of the most fruitful connections begin with a simple conversation. Kurt's full episode: #9 Alex's full episode: #30 Tato's full episode: #51

49: Real Estate the Adrian Way: Community, Curiosity & a Bold Yellow Uniform
This Week on Tribe Builders: Adrian Smude—The Guy in Yellow I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Adrian Smude for this week's episode of Tribe Builders, and let me tell you—this guy is the epitome of having a vibe. Even the way I first heard about him was unforgettable… it involved a snowmobile and a yellow Speedo. Yes, really. And once I got him on the phone? The vibe continued.

He’s spent the last 22+ years in the game, building deep relationships and leaning on those connections to navigate the ever-evolving real estate landscape.

Steve Jobs had his black turtleneck… Adrian’s got a full-on sunshine uniform. In this episode, we cover: His journey from single-family homes to land and mobile homes Why he only buys within a 30-minute radius of one town How he leans into asking for help and building a strong community His thoughts on 80 hours vs. 40 hours of work The way he markets, networks, and shares what he’s learned If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, some solid real estate insight, and a whole lot of vibe—this episode’s for you.
