Meet Rylee Knox, an outdoor enthusiast, a realtor, a real estate investor, and a recent GoBundance member.
At 25 years old, this guy has probably lived a lifetime’s worth of experiences – finished college, got married, got a W2 job, and almost died driving to that W2 job. Then his wife had a miscarriage and got diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant for the second time. They had the baby prematurely at 28 weeks and in the middle of COVID, until he finally quit his W2 job and grew his investment portfolio that’s now scaling to 39 units.
In this episode, hear Rylee talk about his journey transitioning from a W2 job to full-time real estate investing, all while having to deal with his personal circumstances, walking away from a scarcity mindset, and how his goals doubled for the year!

What has been your greatest crucible in life? Today’s guest Harvey Yergin decided to leave his W-2 job to become a stay-at-home dad. He called that period of his life his crucible yet he learned a lot about himself.
Harvey grew up having this structure of success in mind where the men work hard and don’t complain. Their worth was mostly based on how much money they made, how successful they were, what kind of car they drove, how big their house was, or what neighborhood they were in. Harvey’s self-esteem was built on that structure yet he ended up destroying it without understanding what the consequences of it would have been.
Once he came out of it, he found his calling in real estate, and ultimately, bought a franchise of HomeVestors: We Buy Ugly Houses.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
[01:18] Harvey’s family and career background
[07:40] His background in sports
[10:21] Transitioning from W-2 job to a stay-at-home dad
[15:26] Identifying your “safety net” and looking for the evidence
[18:54] What Harvey’s crucible looked like
[24:02] What happens when your structure is destroyed
[32:21] The power of allowing things to flow
[40:00] How your ego is a double-edged sword
[41:43] Harvey’s partnership with Josh
[44:34] What their EOS (entrepreneurial operating system) model looks like
[46:07] His real estate investment portfolio
[48:02] Buying a franchise: “real estate investing in a box”
[50:32] Types of marketing strategies they employ
Notable quotes from the Episode:
"People underestimate what they can do when they need to do it."
"A safety net is – once you're completely naked and stripped of everything, who are you, and what do you still have?"
"When the world doesn't interact with you the way you think it's supposed to interact with you, it can be a big shakeup.”
“Your ego would both inhibit you at times, but then it also contributes to your brilliance.”
"You have to be able to recognize that voice. And the only way you're going to be able to recognize that voice is if you spent time in stillness and you spent time away in space listening for that voice."

How do you build a brand that lasts? Today’s guest, entrepreneur and author, Brad Lea would tell you that you have to be everywhere, every day. This was the exact opposite of what he told 10x entrepreneur Grant Cardone way back, for posting too much on social media. Good thing he didn’t listen to him because Brad learned his lesson and he learned it the hard way.
After eight years of helping Grant build his brand up and building stages for other people, Brad finally decided to build a stage for himself. He realized that the best way to blow up any business is to get more attention and more relationships.
Brad is the host of the Dropping Bombs podcast and author of “Lessons I Learned the Hard Way So You Don’t Have To.” He is also the creator of LightSpeed VT, a multimillion-dollar interactive technology that allows people to create interactive content so they could invest their way out of the rat race. Learn how Brad closed a deal with Tony Robbins based on this “fear of loss.”
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
[01:33] Lessons on patience
[04:35] The concept of extreme perspective
[09:34] Why you should seek discomfort
[11:39] Why relationships are the new currency
[14:39] Choosing the people you surround yourself with
[16:10] The power of words
[18:24] Why you need to measure your progress
[20:46] Building a stage for himself
[25:09] What makes a great brand
[27:25] How to create your content flow
[34:03] How he closed a deal with Tony Robbins
[39:20] How LightSpeed’s interactive system works
[51:05] Why focus on money
[54:15] Where Brad invests his money
Notable quotes from the Episode:
"When it comes to chasing your dreams or building an empire, patience is not a virtue… and it can kill you. ”
“If you want comfort, seek discomfort. The things that are uncomfortable make you change, grow, and move.”
“Relationships are the new currency… money doesn't grow on trees, they tell us. But they don't tell us where it does grow – well, it grows in other people's pockets.”
“What makes a great brand is trust... at some point, you have to stop thinking about what content to put out and start being the content.”
"You don't have to quit your job to start making more money through sales. You can get a part-time sales job and pretty soon that sales on that commission start to outperform your normal job."

Sometimes, getting to the next level means having to leave your W2 job. It doesn’t mean you should do it right now. Instead, how about you start thinking about what you should be doing on a daily basis to become the eight-figure person that you want to be?

Initially, Paul invested all his 401k savings into stocks but once the stock market crashed, he went from $3 million on paper to $40,000 worth of 401k. It wasn’t until a few of his close friends convinced him to dive into real estate that he finally bought a condo unit he later sold and then bought his first four-unit in 2015. Since then, he has been buying one or two multi-family properties every year.

[02:58] Why he left his W2 job
[05:55] Why he’s much busier now than when he had his W2 job

Most people think of psychedelics as something to do at a party — after all, going on a trip is the purview of twenty-year-olds and hippies. But psychedelics and the rituals associated with them have been an essential part of human history for decades. Dr. Michaelene Ruhl is here to explain why.
Psychedelics aren't just for recreation — they're also potent tools for therapeutic purposes, self-understanding, and overcoming roadblocks in your life. The best expert on you and how you can become better is yourself. Dr. Michaelene Ruhl guides people through, around, and over the obstacles holding them back through the intentional and therapeutic use of psychedelic experiences.
Your mind has unending potential — and sometimes conventional wisdom isn’t the best way to unlock it. What works for some people isn’t necessarily what works for you, and might even be harmful to living your life to the fullest.
Tune in to learn from Dr. Ruhl how psychedelics can put you on the path to becoming part of the Tribe of Millionaires.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
[01:38] Psychedelic Integration
[08:01] The History of Psychedelics
[16:47] Understanding the Psychedelic Experience
[24:01] Utilizing Intention
[32:40] Generational Cycles and Patterns
[38:25] Addressing the Ego
[47:40] Becoming the Best Version of Yourself
Notable quote from the Episode:
"I'm trying to control the light, I'm trying to control the dark, I have trouble controlling me because I'm stuck now. And that gives you the illusion of control. But it really isn't control."
