Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Summary:
There are a lot of different ways to invest in real estate, and previous guests on FSN have elaborated upon the storage industry as it becomes more prominent. Travis Baucom appears in this episode to talk about his experience within storage, and it started a few years back when he decided he wanted to increase his wealth and invest in something less risky and less involved. After years of buying foreclosures and flipping hundreds of properties, he was ready for a different niche within real estate: storage facilities. After doing some research, it quickly became clear that self storage had some of the best cash flow in comparison to other asset classes. Travis and another broker ended up purchasing a facility together, and have been operating a very successful business since then. Travis touches on some of the variables that contribute to cost minimization, as well as the future of self storage business models. Tune in for more insight.

Summary:
All successful leaders have one thing in common: a Great Aunt Edna. Mac McNeil— an author, former Military Intelligence Analyst, and leader in business—appears in this episode to talk about the ‘E.D.N.A.’ philosophy and why it is foundational to leadership. Mac was, in fact, inspired by his real Aunt Edna, but the acronym symbolizes a Leadership culture of Excellence, Doing Things the Right Way, No Shortcuts, and Accountability. The purpose of EDNA is to make people think about the culture they are fostering when managing others. As a leader, you may have moments where you are “in the wilderness,” or alone in your pursuit, but these moments can help you solidify your ‘why’ and grow stronger. Mac highlights how it looks to have an opportunity mindset—positioning clients for a successful future—and discusses the spirit of excellence that himself and his colleagues uphold.
