"Work smarter, not harder... "You’ve heard it. Maybe said it. But until this month, I hadn’t lived it. Let me tell you what actually happened—and how it’s changing everything for me going into 2026. 📉 The Raise That is Humbling Me @Phillis Contreras and I had $1.26M in soft commitments, mostly from amazing—but unaccredited—investors we’ve built real trust with. Then came the deal. ✅ It made sense on paper ✅ Strong team behind it ❌ But it required accredited-only capital Suddenly, 90% of our investor base couldn’t play. We were stuck mid-raise, holding potential that couldn’t be unlocked. That moment hit me: I was trying to finish something I never should’ve started. 🧠 The Shift Instead of pushing a deal uphill, I asked: “What if I flipped this?” What if I started with the capital mandates like Marichel suggested—the investor criteria—and then found the deal? And now, I’m doing just that: - Building decks for fund managers, financial advisors, big check writers - Sourcing deals that match their criteria - Partnering with experienced underwriters and full-cycle operators - Showing up in every call like it’s the one conversation that changes everything Because you never know which one will be. 🙏 Reconnecting to My Real “Why” I used to say things like: “I want to be a good man.” “I want to be a role model.” All true. But now I know what I really mean: I want to take care of the people I love. I want to do dope, legacy-level work with @Tyler Baisden , @Yonnick and Marichel Matthews, @Michael Hartley , @Parul Sharma, @Lori Malek, @Angelyn Ndlovu, @Chris Frank, and so many more that I can't tag here. I want to free my family, retire my parents, and bless everyone connected to me. Myron says money moves in the direction of value and alignment. Maxwell says people move when you speak from authentic conviction.

You’ve got the words. You’ve got the passion. You believe what you’re saying — I know you do. But when you listen back to your talk…👂 it just sounds… one tone. Monotoned. Like that middle-school history teacher with zero inflection, explaining the Civil War to a class that just wants lunch. And I say that with love — because I’ve been there. You Don’t Sound Boring Because You Don’t Care You sound boring because you’re stuck in your head. You’re focused on saying it right instead of saying it real in the moment. That flicker of quirkiness combined in the blender with your authenticity. You’ve got conviction… but no color. Fire… but no flame. And when that happens, even the best message falls flat. Tonality Makes People Feel Your Vibe Think about it: WorldStar went viral because it was high-energy, dramatic, unpredictable. WWE built an empire on emotion and entertainment. Eric Thomas? He yells, cries, whispers — all in one breath — and makes you feel like you can run through a wall. That’s what great communicators do — they don’t say things, they make you feel things. Try This: 🎯 Pick one line from your last talk — something you believe with all your spirit. Now say it three ways: - Calm and grounded. - Passionate and fiery. - Sincere and soft. Then play them back and ask yourself: 👉 “Which version made me feel something?” That’s your tone. That’s the one that connects. Now all you gotta do is transfer that energy to the person you're talking to. One to one or one to many.

Hey everyone, my husband Mike and I are new to this group so just saying Hi! We started class last week, looking forward to getting to know the group and sharpening our capital raising skills. Reach out to chat or say hi any time!

What an amazing and mind altering past few months its been. Yesterday marked our final class of YM2. It’s been an incredible few months diving deep into the multifamily space and capital raising. But when you sign up for this course, you don’t just walk away with knowledge — you walk away with a community. You gain friendships, mentors, and a completely new way of seeing life, love, business, and how you operate day to day. It’s bittersweet to see this chapter come to a close because I’ll definitely miss our Monday night sessions. But I’m beyond excited to take everything I’ve learned and put it into action as we move forward with our upcoming deals. A huge thank you to Marichel and Yonnick for your support, mentorship, and guidance along the way — it truly means a lot.
