Ep 132 - Week 19 Live Progress Update

Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies. And welcome to another episode of our.

Podcast, which is called Freedom through Passive Income.

That's right. And welcome to one of our live episodes. This is our week Update. Our weekly update.

Yes.

And what's been going on here in good old Centerville, Ohio, this last week? This is week 19.

Yeah. Boom.

Tiese Nueve. And so, just some quick. Some quick updates. We've got over 3,300 views on YouTube. And our podcasts thingy said that we're at almost 7,400 downloads.

That's crazy.

That is crazy. Thanks, mom.

That joke is over.

It's funny.

One more time download. I don't even know that it works that way. Does it? I don't know how it works, but.

She doesn't know how to do that.

Oh, so your mom. It doesn't even count. That's funny. Okay, some other updates is yesterday was my birthday. And it was. It was. And it was the big 5, 0. Is that how I do it with the camera backwards? Or I go five zero?

Sure.

Yeah. Okay. So it was the big 50. I'm finally a part of the 50 Club.

Welcome. I've been here for a while.

Super, super excited. It was a really, really great day. Got lots of great messages and texts and all kinds of things. So I was really, really happy. The only bad thing that came out of it was we didn't eat perfectly because it was my birthday. And I got on the scale this morning and it was not nice.

The scale was speaking in Spanish to me this morning. Muy grande.

That's funny. Oh, and I want to thank. We call them Team ph. So the Frank family is a mixture of people here in the United States that work in the office and people and a couple people that are in different states. But then I would say around half of our team is in the Philippines. And so we call them Team ph. Team Philippines. And so when I got to the office this morning, because we didn't come to the office yesterday because it was my birthday, I was welcomed by two cards from Team ph. And what they do is they actually do this for the team on work anniversaries and on birthdays, they will create a quick channel in our Google workspace and say, hey, it's so and so's one year anniversary or three year anniversary or it's so and so's birthday or. And then everybody will write a message to that person. And then what they do is they actually type it up into like a Card. So they got this card and it's got Jody's message. Brian, Gary's, cheese, Pat, Joanna. This one has Sherry, Jules, Cat, Coco, Carla. I'm probably missing people. But anyways, it is the coolest thing. So I got to walk into the office this morning and see these two cards and go, huh, I wonder why I'm getting cards. Duh. It was my birthday yesterday. But I just. Usually the team doesn't make a big deal because I don't like making it. I don't like being the center of attention. I don't mind messages, but being the center of attention is a totally different thing. It's very uncomfortable for me. So it was really, really sweet. And they said some very, very nice things. So I'm very thankful. And I'm gonna save these.

Yay. That's awesome.

Yeah. Oh.

Yeah. So, but meanwhile, and we'll have some another note here about what's been going on before Danny's birthday. But while all of this is still going on, we're still scheduling to close our 48 unit on Monday.

Yes.

So it's. We're doing this, that and the other. And still. What? What do you need? Yep. Uh huh. Okay, one second. Let me get that for you.

Or. And it's usually Jody. So Jody will unbox it.

Yeah, hold on, let me get that for you. Jody, can you get this?

Or Jody's like, Danny, this even email came in, they're asking for this. And I go, jodi, I don't know what that is. Can you find out what it is? Can you just go find the answer? So Jody in the background is doing, I would say a bulk of the work involved in all of this. Because I'm in meetings all the time. You're not as available. She reaches out to us just in case we might have the answer. And when we don't have the answer, she digs in, she finds it, she figures it out. So Jodi, I know that you watch some or most of these, so thank you so much. And Pat, thank you for being a support to Jody so that she can help us as much. And Tina, thank you for everything that you do as well, because you're always helping and chiming in when Flip and I are available as well.

Cheetah. The cheetah. Her joke.

Oh, I forgot the joke. Okay, then, Atlanta. So this is part of the reason why we just shared that. Because we were in Atlanta at a meeting where we thought we were gonna have little breaks here and there and we didn't. Like, we went straight through and I'm used to that. I used to not eat. I used to. Well, sorry. I ate one meal a day so I would work straight through all the time. But now we got on this new nutrition program. We're eating four to five times a day. And so I was, my body was just like, yeah, you've done this before, you're fine. We just kept on going. And he actually said, I think you were in the bathroom because we didn't even get bathroom breaks. He left.

So we started at 9:00'. Clock.

Yeah.

And around I think 1:30 I heard, yeah, let me just do one more thing and then, and then we'll like order some lunch. And I was in the bathroom and I was like, oh, thank God, I'm so hungry because this is like, this is four and a half hours into it already. And so then I came back in and sat down and I was waiting. At any point we're going to order, we're going to order, we're going to order. Next thing you know, we're wrapping everything up at 3:30. Yeah, you guys want to, guys want to go get some lunch? And I'm like, dinner.

It is for us as early as we wake up. But we were there actually. It's the one thing after our mastermind, we got super excited about, about, you know, wow, we are blown away by this, you know, financial strategy. And we were super excited. We signed up right away. And so that was this weekend. We just took the trip to Atlanta, flew out on Sunday, came back on, yes. Tuesday morning so that we were actually in town for my birthday. But we learned a lot about some more tax free wealth strategies. We learned a lot about asset protection, both of them, which were huge. But asset protection really kind of hit home with me is like, oh my goodness. Yeah, that's really smart. We need to do that. And as much as we've already done, it's crazy that I always feel so good. We've got tons of attorneys and CPAs and financial advisors and we've done so much and you still talk to somebody at the next level and they go, well, you could do this too.

I'm like, oh yeah, it was smart. It was six and a half hours of drinking from a fire hose. Yeah, it was, it was so much information. And it was also retirement.

Yes.

You know, so it's not just the asset protection and tax free wealth, but it's also retirement planning. And it's, it's, it was just, yeah. Mind blowing.

Yeah. So I just love that we always talk about surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you are. Or I wrote down on a pad the other day, you're just smarter in areas that I'm still working on. But it's always just a good idea to be in the room with people who can help level you up. And as we rise, you know, we always take other people with us. So I've got all these ideas of how we're going to help convey this information to the people who are investing with us so they can start doing some of the things that we're gonna start doing as well. So it's super exciting.

Yes, very exciting. With all that said, make sure you're going over to our website, freedomcapitalinvestments.com and joining our investor club to see what we're doing, because there's probably deals that are going on in there that I don't even know about. So make sure that you're enjoying joining the investor club and catching us on all the other social medias and YouTubers and all that fun stuff.
