If your executive team can't clearly articulate your mission, you're already losing ground. You think you've cast a vision, but no one's catching it. Instead, you're running a business with a fractured identity where every department is chasing a different goal, and your customers are left scratching their heads. Misalignment is more than just a leadership issue. It's a revenue problem. So before you fix your marketing, fix your mission. But how do you align your p...

<p>Get free marketing videos from Don every week at WeeklySoundbite.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Leadership success often hinges on a trait many people misunderstand: self-awareness. In today's fast-paced world, leaders are surrounded by noise: social media flattery, AI-generated validation, and constant feedback loops that create more confusion than clarity. And while confidence is essential, when it crosses into narcissism, the fallout can be devastating. Think Enron, Lehman Brothers, or any organization led by someone blind to their own flaws. Narcissistic leaders may get results, but the cost is often burnout, chaos, and shattered trust. So how do you k...

<p>John Chang shares a deep-dive outlook on the major forces shaping commercial real estate investing in 2026. He explains why job growth is expected to slow significantly, how policy uncertainty and AI-driven productivity are restraining hiring, and what that means for absorption and vacancies across property types. Chang also breaks down interest rate expectations, inflation risks, and why pricing is likely to remain relatively flat despite improving liquidity.

<p>Matt and Seth unpack how capital raising has evolved from informal, often non-compliant co-GP arrangements to a more structured, scalable fund-of-funds model. Seth explains why private markets are growing roughly twice as fast as public markets, tracing the shift from the JOBS Act to today’s AI-enabled infrastructure. The conversation dives into SEC compliance pitfalls, why transaction-based compensation is risky, and how separating capital raisers from operators protects both sides. They also explore how fund-of-funds structures can unlock better economics for investors while helping sponsors raise capital faster and more efficiently. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Visit www.tribevestisc.co...

<p>John Casmon interviews Justin Spillers, a former real estate attorney turned full-time multifamily investor, about his journey from practicing law to building a vertically integrated value-add multifamily business in Ohio. Justin shares how his first seven-unit deal shaped his confidence, why focusing on tertiary markets along the I-75 corridor gives his team a competitive edge, and how disciplined underwriting plus heavy renovations drive rent growth. He also explains the importance of operational control, unscalable relationship-building tactics, and relentless process improvement in scaling efficiently. The conversation highlights how focus, systems, and creativity have positioned his firm to grow from hundreds...

<p>Get free marketing videos from Donald Miller every week at: https://WeeklySoundbite.com/</p> Most business owners waste thousands on billboards that never bring in a single lead. Why? Because they try to be clever instead of clear. When your brand isn't a household name, confusing messaging on a massive sign just becomes expensive noise on the side of the road. No one's pulling over to decode your inside jokes or admire your witty wordplay. If your billboard doesn't solve a problem in 7 words or less, it's not advertising, it's art. And art doesn't convert. So why do so ma...

<p>Pascal Wagner interviews Bob Fraser, CFO and chief macro strategist at Aspen Funds, to break down how oil and gas can (or can’t) fit inside a diversified portfolio. Bob explains the three parts of the industry (upstream, midstream, downstream), why most LP horror stories come from drilling risk, and why he prefers buying already-producing, non-operated working interests to reduce geology/engineering/operator risk. He also walks through what tax benefits investors often misunderstand (IDCs vs. depletion allowance), the importance of low leverage + hedging in a volatile commodity business, and the key red flags he’d watch for when unde...

<p>Ash interviews Michael Cobb, exploring how Michael built an international real estate, lending, and development platform across Central and South America by identifying gaps in foreign buyer financing and leaning heavily into community-centric development. Michael shares why legal systems, zoning assumptions, and cultural norms differ dramatically outside the U.S., and how misunderstanding those nuances can derail overseas investments. He also explains his long-term strategy of creating purpose-built expat communities using New Urbanist design principles, why branded resort residences in markets like Belize sit in a “sweet spot” for appreciation, and how thoughtful diversification outside the U.S. can stre...

<p>Get free marketing videos from Don every week at WeeklySoundbite.com</p> <p> </p> <p>Most businesses struggle to explain what they do in a way that actually gets people interested. You tweak your website copy, add more content, and keep pitching your product, but the reaction is lukewarm at best. Why? Because you're missing the most critical part of a messaging strategy, what Donald Miller calls the "5 front steps." Think of your brand as a house. Without these front steps, you're essentially asking customers to leap onto your front porch with no ladder in sight. It's a recipe f...

<p>Matt Faircloth interviews Micah Lacher, President and Founder of Anchor Investments and the force behind Mission Hotels. Micah shares how Anchor evolved into a “radically generous” platform—giving time, expertise, and GP profits to support nonprofits and local communities. He breaks down Mission Hotels’ “Rooms for Rooms” concept (including how their tech-enabled, small-boutique model makes 100% profit-giving possible) and explains how Anchor turns “tired” shopping centers into thriving, modern retail by re-anchoring traffic and adding durable tenants like medical and omni-channel operators. Micah also walks through their off-market deal sourcing, what a “covered land play” means long-term, and why generosity in business is a mus...

<p>Richard McGirr interviews Matt Drouin about what actually makes paid ads work for high-ticket offers—and why most people fail when they try to bolt ads onto capital raising without the right infrastructure. Matt breaks down the core “go/no-go” checklist (starting with a crystal-clear offer), choosing the right channel for your ICP (Meta for older, Facebook-group-heavy investors), and why your CRM, follow-up, and speed-to-lead matter as much as the ads themselves. They dig into lead-quality filtering (conditional logic on lead forms), training your pixel with the right conversion signals, and how to think about creative/VSLs, proof, and ad fat...
