Hard Times Create Strong Men: Chapter 4 Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

Good men are not nice men. A good man is the one who gets the job done, and sometimes this may require the use of strength and power. This is why a "nice man" can never be a leader, because it is a form of weakness. Men and women are always on the lookout for strong men to lead them. Women can do it, but they become masculine in the process. To lead the tribe is a masculine trait.

In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan discusses the difference between what being a "good man" and a "nice man" is. The systems of power in our society may have changed over time and the need for strong men has decreased. However, the fact that physical power is no longer needed, does not mean that we don't need our strong men in modern-day society.

From Rags to Riches: Become a Virtual Wholesaling Master with Khang Le Sep 13, 2019

Show notes

Khang Le was born in Vietnam and came to America at the age of 9. He dropped out of High School at 17 and met his wife at the age of 18. He moved in with her to live in a little shack behind a Mobil home park for 5 years. He sacrifices his teens and 20's to work on his future instead of partying and having fun. He worked at a job making $8.50/hrs and was fortunate enough to buy over a small hair extension kiosk in the mall at the age of 20. Now, he's working 2 jobs, from the age of 20-27.

He bought his first house at the age of 23 and got into real estate at the age of 27, without knowing anything about the real estate industry. Without any construction background, NO connections, NO Experience, NO Real Estate Vocab, NOTHING, he started out as a fix and flipper. It took him 6 months of hard work before he did his very first deal, making himself 50K NET in the process. After about 3 years of flipping, he had gotten to the point where he was pretty much tabbed out to buy any more. He was working 15-16 hours a day and realized that the reason he got into real estate was not just to make money but also to have time freedom. That is how he discovered wholesaling. He completely stopped the flipping game and went full time into wholesaling, making 28K on his first wholesale deal that took about 7-10 days to close. Now, he's doing about 250K/Month wholesaling houses virtually, working 2-3 hours/day!

Hard Times Create Strong Men: Chapter 3 Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

What does it mean to be a man? A man's purpose is his work and any man that shies away from work or doesn't take his work seriously is… unmanly. Making the leap from good to great comes down to having a mission and being driven enough to make it happen. Achieving your labor of love may not be possible under your current circumstances, but with enough hard work and perseverance, anything is possible...

"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

There is no shame in taking a day job, especially if that work takes closer to your passion. Find something that you can never take a break from, and you will have found your path to power. Give away your TV and avoid the traps of comfort and poverty! Only when your desire to thrive is as strong as your desire to breathe, will you become successful.

Vulnerability and Being your True, Authentic Self with Leonard Kim Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

Leonard Kim is a marketer who wins a lot of awards despite being a self-described expert at failing. But failing can't be the only thing he is good at since book publishers like McGraw-Hill Business, companies like Cisco Systems, Keck Medicine of USC and Salesforce, universities like USC, UCI, Cal Poly Pomona and ArtCenter College of Design, large media publications like Forbes, CMO, Fast Company, Fortune, Adweek, Entrepreneur, and hundreds of others, and more than 500,000 followers think otherwise.

Leonard's story began in 2010. He stopped paying his electricity bill for six months, had to shower in the dark, then was served an eviction notice. He thought he would spend the rest of his days living under a bridge until he called his mother who then called his grandmother, about how Leonard was about to be homeless. Surprisingly his grandmother took him back in (even though she originally disowned him when he was 16). According to his TEDx Talk, Why You Should Let Your Fears Guide You (recognized as a top TED Talk by Inc., Forbes and Mashable), by the end of 2011, he was so fed up with constantly failing year after year, that he wanted to end it all. Luckily for us, that didn't happen.

One thing Leonard does extremely well is within the niches of marketing people and professional development, most commonly referred to as personal branding. He holds workshops at companies, speaks at conferences, works hands-on with executives and entrepreneurs who run 8 figure+ businesses, provides consulting and teaches his craft through online courses.

Leonard also coauthored a book with his business partner at InfluenceTree, Ryan Foland, called Ditch the Act: Reveal the Surprising Power of the Real You for Greater Success and runs a weekly radio show called Grow Your Influence Tree, where he does free personal brand consulting live on the air.

Hard Times Create Strong Men: Chapters 1-2 Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

What is wrong with masculinity in modern-day society? A generation of snowflakes raised by television and a lack of purpose in a world devoid of hardships has driven our culture meaningless and vicious. The lack of mentors and father figures has brought up men that are addicted to pornography and video games, and that lack the virtues of the great American heroes that led us through two World Wars and the Great Depression. The warrior spirit has succumbed to hedonism and become distracted away from the pursuit of his dreams.

Thankfully, there is still a chance to do something about it...

Hard times create strong men, and weak men create hard times. It is the inevitable cycle of life where great empires are built and destroyed. Unfortunately, millennials are currently living in the era of weak men that drown in ephemeral pleasure and limited desires. However, strength and greatness are determined by one's self, and so this is the best time to seize everything you have ever wanted!

How to Build Wealth in Real Estate with Christopher Senegal Aug 24, 2019

Show notes

After 16 years of education and graduating with an engineering degree in hand, I quickly realized I wanted more than 40 years in Corporate America. After getting into day trading and watching the volatility in the market take out many traders, I found myself growing a passion for real estate investing. Specifically investing in flips and rentals, but the focus has grown to investing in disinvested communities and providing quality housing options for the surrounding communities. As of April 2017, my company has embarked on its first revitalization project which is a $3.8M, 14 townhome development on a block of property I have owned since 2013 near downtown Houston.
