So, having your money working inside of good assets, not only allows you for good appreciation but you've got continued, great rent operations and the demand for storage has not been shrinking at all. The millennial generation is now becoming the largest users of storage more so than we've seen in the past." - Zach Morrow04:24 - "I wanted to find a way to transition out of the corps and be able to provide the life for my family that I felt was right for us. And for us, that was me finding a way to not only have the financial freedom, but the time freedom to be able to spend with them and to be present."- Zach Morrow10:13 - "There's always going to be new levels of growth and opportunity. And I think that the more we can recognize where we're at and process where we're trying to get to, we can reverse engineer the skills that we need and the resources that we need." -  Zach Morrow10:49 - "There's going to be two things that you can give and it's either your time and your experience or your money. And both of those can earn you the opportunity." - Zach Morrow15:54 - "One of the most difficult things about transitioning out is, in most cases, you're going to lose the clarity and now you're going to become responsible for it. And a lot of times we haven't been trained to do that. So, that's a really difficult thing to do. Finding a way to regiment your time to create clarity for yourself is critical for your term success." - Zach Morrow17:37 - "Once you know what your target is, you can get really clear on the next step. But if you're always focusing on the thing that's so far away, you're never going to hit the target. So, if we just put these things out there, it becomes extremely difficult to hit the target, unless you can set it up and then reign it back in and focus on that next thing right in front of you." - Zach Morrow27:44 - "Your job shouldn't be to be the expert at everything. It should be how to find experts at everything. It's not always like, how do I do something, it's who do I need.  That's the question we ask more often because 'how' requires me to completely transform who I am and then I'm starting from zero where I can potentially just partner with somebody or bring somebody on or create a relationship.

    E66 - Easing the Transition: Growth is Uncomfortable

And I, a hundred percent believe that because I found that the more mistakes I've made, the faster I've made them, the better I've become." - Greg Amorelli 08:08 - "I think the majority of us, military or post-military, are people who have a mindset where we have to keep going, keep pushing forward. And I think there are goods and bads for that. Any success that I've developed right now is because I do have that mentality." - Greg Amorelli 13:24 - "When you start something out, there's a big difference between understanding where you want to be and where you can be." - Greg Amorelli 21:56 - "The concept of pulling from all these different locations, you don't have to do it all yourself. But if you know, just enough, to know how you utilize that asset, how you utilize that resource, how you utilize that employer and that coworker to the point where they can succeed in what they do best, which will make you succeed, then to me, that's the win." - Greg Amorelli 31:09 - "Make the best decision you can with the information you have and be good with it. The most dangerous thing you can do in the military is not make a decision. It's almost always a lot of cases and in a lot of situations, it's better to make the wrong decision than no decision." - Greg Amorelli Engage with Greg AmorelliLinkedIn Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify

    Feb 24 2022
    Military to civilian transition is a challenge in itself. Finding a career and managing finances further complicate the process. Financial literacy is critical for anyone, but it is especially important for veterans who may be used to a certain lifestyle and need to adjust to civilian salaries.

Not only for the service member but even as a military spouse that becomes part of your identity, that you are a military spouse. So, it's an adjustment." - Lacey Langford 16:32 - "I completely agree with you (Jay) about education because if you don't know it (investing), you're scared of it, the fear of the unknown. But once you get a little bit of knowledge, it's the power to take action and to get more comfortable with it." - Lacey Langford 21:05 - "MilMoneyCon is an opportunity for everybody to come together, to connect into a network, to help with, and build careers which I feel very passionate about.

    E65 - Determining Your Purpose
    Feb 17 2022
    When it comes to finding success in life, knowing your why is essential. Why do you do the things you do? What is your purpose? Too often, people go through the motions without taking the time to figure out what matters most to them. Without knowing your why, it is easy to get lost along the way. Without a clear sense of purpose, it can be difficult to stay motivated and focused on what is important. In what ways are you able to tap into your inner self to determine your purpose? In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, our guest, Rob Rens talks about what sets him apart from other insurance agents, how he starts his day motivated, as well as his upcoming project in support of veterans.  Rob Rens is a State Farm Insurance agent and the President of Signal Fire Media.

And when you have that, then you can start to see those opportunities and just ask yourself the question, does this align with who I wanna be? And if so, am I willing to work hard enough to make it happen?" - Rob Rens 09:15 - "Location is important. But I do feel very strongly that you can make your own cool location. And if you market it appropriately, you have a quality service, you've got really good people that share the mission and vision of your company, and a culture is created around that, you can put something awesome in any neighborhood." - Rob Rens 13:51 - "A business is nothing without people. And that's people to run it and that's people to buy your product and service. So, if you are agile and you're able to adjust to how different generational cohorts interact with brands, purchase products, and what their expectations are after they've made that purchase, I think that's the best way to stay ahead of those trends." - Rob Rens 20:07 - "I just connect with people and I use love, empathy, and mutual respect to get things done more efficiently. And at the end of the day, it's probably better because you're gonna have people who are going to stick with you long term and run through brick walls for you." - Rob Rens 36:17 - "Overnight success, we use that term so flippantly in our society. Nobody sees the sleepless nights for years to become an overnight success. All of a sudden you blip on someone's radar, but they didn't see everything you put into it ahead of time. And that's really where the difference lies." - Rob Rens 39:26 - "If you're really feeling down because things aren't quite going your way, just start calling people. When you make that breakthrough, whether it's a sale, a new connection, a new venture, or something like that, the brain just starts firing in all cylinders. And all of a sudden, you're motivated again, you're happy again and you can carry that momentum out." - Rob Rens Engage with Rob RensLinkedInInstagram Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify

    E64 - Understanding Inflation and How It Affects Your Savings
    Feb 10 2022
    Inflation is one of the biggest threats to financial stability. It can erode your savings and investments, leaving you with less money in the long run. The ability to make wise investments that maintain buying power over time can be difficult without a plan to mitigate inflation. With the volatile market we have today, how can investments be protected from inflation risk and your money kept safe? In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, our guest, Devin Deverill talks about interest rates, how people can protect themselves against inflation, and what they can do to make the most of their cash sitting in their savings or checking accounts. Devin Deverill has been a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual for over 13 years. Their mission is to help their clients across the country visualize and accomplish what financial security ultimately means to them. By matching his clients’ needs with innovative investment and insurance planning, he can confidently help them navigate through the many challenges and opportunities of life. Enjoy! If you are looking for an inexpensive and super convenient healthcare option, check out SkillMil Telehealth Services.

But if you don't pay attention to taxes and how somebody's distributing money, not just growing and accumulating money especially in environments where so many people are getting down payments ready, that's a big deal." - Devin Deverill 8:40 - "If you have any legacy planning that you want to work on, everybody out there should know what a step-up in basis is on property. That is a huge hack, I would say, or benefit within the system of the tax code that you may or may not think about today. But as you get older, have kids, or want to pass things down and leave a legacy behind, you want to think about something like that." - Devin Deverill 20:15 - "So for those people that are sitting sideline with cash, there has to be a strategy other than cash that's affected by inflation and low interest rates over this next year or two that you likely want to employ and really design for those low yielding, heavily taxed dollars." - Devin Deverill 28:27 - "Taxes are a big deal for those investment properties. And anybody who's a small business owner and thinking about what to do with some excess capital, whether it's sitting in a business account or in their personal account, I would highly encourage you to reach out to a real estate professional. That will likely be a massive tax benefit to you to position a segment of dollars there based on your itemized deductions and let alone thinking about some of these concepts like distributing asset income to yourself and having a segment uncorrelated to the stock market." - Devin Deverill 46:22 - "The psychology around loss is typically greater for most individuals than the psychology around increasing their portfolio or growing wealth. People, in other words, are typically more fearful of losing money than they are appreciative of the gain in the portfolio." - Devin Deverill Engage with Devin DeverillLinkedInInstagram Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSONCall (858) 925- 4536WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagram Listen to more episodes of the  Expert(ish) PodcastiTunesSpotify

    E63 - Your Guide to Homeowners Insurance with Rich Sabatowski
    Feb 3 2022
    Insurance is often the most overlooked and undervalued aspect of home ownership. However, this is a type of coverage that pays for the repairs or replacement cost to your home in case it experiences any damage or covers you if someone gets injured on your property. It provides a safety net that can help protect you against everything from material damages to liability claims.  Most people who own a property may know that there are different types of coverage available, but they don't know how to figure out which is best for them. Whether you own a home or are planning to buy one, how do you find the best insurance coverage for your needs, at the best possible price? In today’s episode of the Expert(ish) Podcast, Jay talks with Rich Sabatowski, Owner and Insurance Agent at Beach Break Insurance Agency, about homeowners insurance, why it is important, and how it covers residential and commercial properties. Rich started his career in hospitality working his way up from washing dishes, bussing tables, serving and bartending to General Manager of some amazing restaurants. With a passion for helping people protect what they have worked so hard for, Rich and his family moved to San Diego and began laying the groundwork for the Beach Break Insurance Agency. As an independent agency, they do what is best for their clients, providing them the coverage that best fits their needs, at the best possible rates. Enjoy! If you are looking for an inexpensive and super convenient healthcare option, check out SkillMil Telehealth Services.

So again, you just want to make sure that as an investor, you're doing everything you can to make sure that you're protected. And one of those important things is to make sure that your tenants have renters insurance." - Rich Sabatowski 2:34 - "I fell in love with the idea of being able to help people protect what they work so hard to earn. It feels really good when you're able to help someone when things don't go as expected." - Rich Sabatowski 12:18 - "The beauty about the duplex, triplex, or fourplex is that they can still be written on a personal alliance policy versus commercial alliance policy. And most insurance companies have a limit on how many units overall one person can own." - Rich Sabatowski 35:32 - "As an investor, you want to make sure that you're providing a safe place for people to live, not for financial reasons or the interest. It's the right thing to do." - Rich Sabatowski 41:47 - "We have two goals. We want to make sure that your rates are reasonable, competitive, and as low as we can pass them, we get them.

    Jan 27 2022
    We've all heard the saying, 'our network is our net worth'. The more people we know and the more connections we make, the more opportunities will come our way. All too often, we focus on the people within our network who are most like us – those who share our same interests, skills, and experiences.
