How She 3X’d Her Rental Income Without Buying More Properties| Megan Ahern E547 Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Real estate investor Megan Ahern reveals how purchasing a $1.3 million package of homes nearly forced her into bankruptcy. When the market slowed, she found herself holding 25 unsold flips while paying roughly $20,000 per month in interest. Megan explains how she worked transparently with her lenders, secured additional renovation funds, paused interest payments, sold rentals, and made the difficult decision to take losses before the situation became even worse.

Megan also breaks down how the experience completely changed her investment strategy—from maximizing leverage and chasing more properties to owning fewer, higher-quality assets with stronger cash flow. She shares why approximately 80% of her portfolio is now made up of mid-term rentals, how she maintains roughly 95% occupancy, and how converting an existing long-term rental into a furnished mid-term rental can potentially double its monthly income. The conversation also covers operating an efficient home-staging company, investing within your local market, and building an “anti-fragile” real estate portfolio.

Follow Megan on Instagram — @the_tatty_investor to see the real stuff — the losses, the seven-plex from hell, and how she systematized her way out of the chaos.

How He Makes $2M/Yr Renting Websites To Local Businesses | Luke Van Der Veer E546 Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

In this episode Rich sits down with Luke Van Der Veer who explains how he built a business generating leads through local SEO. His model is simple: identify a profitable service in a city with manageable competition, build a website targeting that search, rank it at the top of Google, and then rent the incoming leads to a local business. He explains why home-service industries work especially well, how beginners can structure commission or pay-per-lead arrangements, and how those relationships can eventually become revenue-sharing or ownership opportunities.

Luke also shares why he purchased a $1.7 million ice cream truck business with 52 vehicles as both a business opportunity and a tax strategy. He breaks down how the company makes money through truck rentals, wholesale ice cream sales, and private events while discussing seasonality, staffing, maintenance, and financing. The conversation closes with the coming wave of baby-boomer business owners retiring—and why entrepreneurs with strong lead-generation skills may be positioned to acquire and grow these businesses.

Show notes

He also shares lessons from playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and what Mike Tomlin taught him about discipline, leadership, and mastering the small things.

Anthony also reveals how he became a highly sought-after keynote speaker, how great speakers command a room, and how he turns speaking engagements into long-term business opportunities.

The Ultimate Guide To Legally Paying Less Taxes| David Sinclair E544 Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

Most high-income earners assume a massive tax bill is simply the price of making more money. In this episode, David Sinclair breaks down how wealthy investors and entrepreneurs approach the tax code differently — from real estate professional status and short-term rentals to cost segregation, Section 179, heavy equipment, and foreign exchange strategies designed to create significant tax deductions.
David also explains when advanced tax strategies actually begin to make sense, why buying an investment solely for the tax deduction can backfire, and how high earners should think about private jets, depreciation, net operating losses, Roth conversions, and building long-term generational wealth. If you’re making serious money and want to better understand how sophisticated investors think about taxes, investments, and keeping more of what they earn, this episode gives you a look inside that playbook.

At this point in the year, the focus should be on what steps you can take to reduce how much you’ll have to pay in taxes for 2026.
- Cut your tax bill by up to 80% or more with a Darmen Tax Plan for just $15k
(Special for Rich’s audience; normally $25k)- If you already know you’re going to have taxable income of $1M or more, then
you should consider the DFX investment vehicle:
• Generates 10% target annual cash flow
• Provides projected annualized returns > 19%
• Delivers a 10-to-1 tax deduction in the year of investment

Invest $100k this year and get a $1M active income tax deduction on your
2026 taxes, along with $10k targeted annual cash flow each year, and a
projected 19.75% annualized return over the 10-year hold period for the
investment.

What Do PEPTIDES Actually Do To Your Body? | Michelle Sands E543 Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Rich sits down with Dr. Michelle Sands to break down the world of hormones, menopause, sexual health, peptides, and human performance. Michelle explains what actually happens during perimenopause, why women can begin experiencing hormonal symptoms years before menopause, and how testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid health, and lifestyle can impact everything from sleep and energy to body composition and sex drive.
They also dive into hormone optimization for both men and women, erectile and sexual health, PT-141, HGH, NAD+, GLP-1s, weight loss, muscle preservation, and the growing longevity movement. Michelle shares her own transformation from endurance athlete to competitive bodybuilder in her 50s, why she believes muscle is one of the most important tools for longevity, and how properly combining lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and hormone optimization can help people perform at a higher level.

If you’re listening and thinking: "I know something is off with my hormones, but I have no idea where to start.” I’d recommend watching Michelle's Hormone Restoration Masterclass. She breaks down what’s actually happening during perimenopause and menopause, what symptoms can tell you, what to test, and what your options really are.
