Welcome to our podcast featuring special guest Jessica Smith Dos Santos, a life coach who will challenge you to think differently about the choices you make in your life. In this episode, Jessica discusses the idea of making decisions and the importance of being willing to embrace discomfort in order to achieve your goals. She poses thought-provoking questions such as, "What are the things in your life that you are sick and tired of?" and "How willing are you to be uncomfortable?" Jessica encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and to consider whether they are truly ready to let go of old patterns and habits that no longer serve them. Through her own personal experiences, 17 years of nursing, and insights gained from working with clients, Jessica highlights the fact that deciding to make a change means giving death to all other options. She reminds us that life is not going to get easier or more comfortable, and that we must be emotionally prepared to cope with the discomfort that comes with growth and change.

RX033: Keep Investing, but Always Calibrate Your Strategy! with Andrew Cushman
Today, we sit with Jason Hartman. He is the CEO of Empowered Investor and Real Estate Tools. Jason has developed many investing strategies, and in today’s episode, he’ll dive into one that will help you understand the real estate game in today’s market and inflationary environment. Our conversation zeroes in on his “Inflation-Induced Debt Destruction” strategy, which teaches how borrowers can benefit from inflation. Jason also discusses the three different types of markets, which market to avoid and which to invest in. Enjoy the show! Key Points from This Episode: ✅Timing the market is difficult and usually doesn’t work. ✅The real estate game is not really about capital appreciation. ✅Real wealth is created by understanding the math of the market and holding the assets for the long term. ✅Understanding the three major types of markets: linear, cyclical, and hybrid ✅How to identify if the market is linear, cyclical or hybrid. ✅Why must investors avoid cyclical markets and invest in linear ones? ✅Two value drivers for any asset: scarcity and utility ✅Understanding Inflation-Induced Debt Destruction (IIDD). ✅How to use inflation to redistribute wealth. ✅How can borrowers benefit from inflation? ✅Are there still risks in investing even in linear markets and using the IIDD strategy? Tweetables: 👉“Timing the market is kind of a fool's errand in any asset class. People that try to time the market in precious metals, stocks, bonds, cryptocurrency, real estate —it never really works. What works is being in the market and being in the game.” [00:03:08] 👉“The real wealthy people are value-oriented investors who buy and hold assets over the long term.” [00:05:27] 👉“Inflation is the insidious, hidden tax that destroys purchasing power. It destroys the value of savings, stocks, bonds, and even equity in real estate. But thankfully, it destroys the value of debt.” [00:17:16] About Jason Hartman Jason Hartman® is the CEO of Empowered Investor and Real Estate Tools.

He combined his dedication and business talents to become a successful entrepreneur, public speaker, author, and media personality.
