[ AJO Podcast ] The Real Reason Most Americans Will Never Be Rich

 

 

If you can’t fix this, you’ll never be wealthy. The 99% move like a herd, and the masses scream in fear, duck for cover, and sell in lockstep during every major recession, crash, and recovery. This is why most Americans (or people on Earth, for that matter) will never be wealthy. By letting their fear take over during times of opportunity and their greed override their senses during peaks, the masses buy high, sell low, and remain in the same place.

At some point, I realized that my emotions were controlling too many of my decisions. When I stopped listening to my lizard brain and started operating on a system, everything changed. How did I know to buy so low during the real estate bust in 2008? How did I know my industry was in a bubble before so many others? And why am I back to buying while people are telling me the bottom is yet to come?

Keep following the news if you want to remain stuck. Listen to this episode if you want to finally control your financial future.

[ SSI Podcast ] Running 19 Self Storage Facilities (Remotely!)

 

 

You can live hundreds of miles away from your self storage facility and still run it successfully. Just hear from Bill DeWaal and Korbin Smoot, founders of Better Self Storage. They’ve got 19 facilities across multiple states and run self storage management to perfection with a team of VAs, a director of operations, and without having to fix, overlock, or inspect a single unit.

You can invest from anywhere in the country, or even anywhere in the world, and this is how you do it.

Bill and Korbin are what a solid partnership looks like. Korbin is chasing deals while Bill is making sure the facilities make sense. Their formula clearly works, as now they have 19 facilities and are experts in self storage remote management. Plus, they’ll share what a great partner looks like, so you don’t get into the self storage business with a bad actor.

[ Youtube Short ] The Stock Market is “Diverging” from Reality (Dot-com Bubble 2.0?)

 

 

This looks a lot like the Dot-com bubble. Stock prices are hitting record highs, but their valuations are starting to diverge from reality. Americans are scared they’ll miss out on the rise of AI, so they’re pouring cash into the market in record amounts. Meanwhile, price-to-earnings ratios are inching nearer to Dot-com bubble levels. The question is: will the AI bubble burst, or is this the new reality?

Why Most Businesses Fail (And How I Designed Mine To Survive)
This time of year has a way of stripping away noise. The inbox gets a little quieter, and you’re left thinking about the bigger picture: what you’re building, how resilient it really is, and whether it can survive the next cycle (not just the last one). With that, I wanted to share some of my personal reflections with you. If you’ve ever wondered how real businesses cross nine figures without ...
Content Roundup - Week of December 8, 2025
  Hey there, As we enter the holiday season, things tend to cool down for most people - but that's when I double down. Me and my team are working hard to finish the year strong so we can carry that momentum into 2026. Having said that, it's also a priority for me to spend as much time with family and loved ones as possible (so basically, my days are jam-packed). That's why we're doing all this ...
