  • Be careful

    He is a scammer. Makes all his money off gullible people willing to pay $10k for his bad advice. Made early money on bitcoin and was a failure at his corporate Cintas job. Interviews people that are now in federal prison for fraud. Blocks anyone that exposes him. Be very careful….

  • Life Changer!

    This podcast literally changed my life. I joined AAC in August of 2024 and bought a business and quit my W2 in July of 2025. I cannot recommend this group enough if you want to find a community of people who are doing huge things and having a ton of fun doing them, and it all started with this podcast.

  • Game changer!

    Came across this podcast recently and I’m obsessed! I’ve invested in real estate for 4 years, but started looking into investing in a small business so I can leave my 9-5.

    This podcast is a must-listen. Brian does an incredible job of breaking down the process of buying a business and transitioning into entrepreneurship, all while avoiding the usual overwhelm that comes with taking such a big leap.

    What I love most is how the episodes combine practical advice with real-world examples, giving y... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From 20 Airbnbs to Boutique Resorts w/ Tim Ensmann
Q: For somebody that's unfamiliar with Tim Ensmann, who are you, what do you do today?
Tim introduces his background from sales to real estate, explains shifting from traditional rentals to boutique hotels, and outlines the focus on experiential properties and scaling through branded experiences.
How He Saved 95% of His Income and Retired at 25 w/ Cody Berman
Q: How do you approach aligning with a partner on money goals and a shared vision?
Lead with the destination, not the math; show your partner the life you want to create together and then set up a practical plan to fund it, keeping alignment through regular value-based discussions.
How He Saved 95% of His Income and Retired at 25 w/ Cody Berman
Q: What does margin mean in the early stages of a financial freedom journey?
Margin is the key to acceleration—spending a smaller percentage of income while maximizing investment, which creates the gap needed to fund cash-flowing assets and reach financial freedom faster.
How to Raise $1,000,000 + in the next 90 Days w/ Adit Shah
Q: How should one handle 506B vs 506C when starting out?
Start with 506B to raise from friends and family, then consider moving to 506C if needed; once you switch to 506C you cannot move back to 506B. This helps establish early traction while keeping compliance in mind.
How to Raise $1,000,000 + in the next 90 Days w/ Adit Shah
Q: What are the essential components of a strong capital raise pitch?
A clearly defined deal with EBITDA and growth plan, a credible team with relevant experience, and a compelling narrative that explains why this opportunity is the right vehicle, including risk and downside protections. The pitch should also answer what the investment will be worth and how returns are achieved.
