[ AJO Podcast ] Once I Figured Out This Formula, I Built 9 Businesses (They Run Themselves)

 

Could you escape one of America’s toughest neighborhoods to become a self-made millionaire, with the cards stacked against you? Today’s guest is a second-generation American, raised in the streets of Oakland, California—at the time, one of the country’s most dangerous cities. After the traumatic loss of his father, Brian Tran fulfilled his dad’s wish by finishing college, but struggling on a W-2 salary wasn’t in the cards.

Fast forward over a decade, Brian owns nine successful businesses and a sizable real estate portfolio, making him a millionaire in the process. Today, he’s detailing the exact mental map every real estate investor (or business owner) needs to follow before scaling a real estate business. Think you can’t get ahead with today’s interest rates? Think AI will take your job? Feel like your circle is thinking too small?

This episode will get you on the path to becoming a self-made millionaire if you follow Brian’s formula.

[ SSI Podcast ] How to Run a Storage Unit Business in 2026 (Self Storage Tech Stack)

 

Closing on your first self storage investment is a big deal—but it comes with a lot of questions: What management software should I use? What types of locks are best? How do I track competitor prices? How do I handle the auction and lien process if someone doesn’t pay? 

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and resort to handling everything yourself, which often leads not only to a bad storage business but also to severe burnout. It doesn’t have to be like this, so today, we’re sharing our entire self storage tech stack—everything we use to run our self storage facilities (remotely!) so you can have a successful first, or next, self storage investment. 

We’ll give you everything—management software, lock systems, lien automations, call and customer service providers, website hosting, and other recommendations. If this is your first self storage facility, this information could be the difference between you scaling fast or falling behind.

[ Short ] 7 Steps to Build Wealth From $0 to $1M+ (Start Today)

 

Most people think wealth creation is out of reach or confusing. It's not—you're just at one of the seven steps and don't know what comes next.

I'm breaking down the exact path from financial instability to real wealth creation. This isn't get-rich-quick nonsense. These are the actual stages that separate people who build lasting wealth from those who stay stuck, no matter how much they earn. You don't need to complete all seven steps. Many stop at three or four and build solid wealth. But understanding the full path gives you options.

Hope you enjoy the new resources.

 

That's it for this week - until next time!
