In this short, the speaker recounts how the COVID‑19 pandemic shut down their existing conference business, prompting a decisive pivot to launch a new event dedicated to real‑estate financing. They created the Build, Flip, Rent Finance Expo, positioning it as a unique, competition‑free platform that connects private‑money lenders, borrowers, investors, and brokers. The expo’s mission is to educate both seasoned and new investors about the abundance of creative financing options available nationwide, emphasizing that many lenders are unknown to the audience. The speaker highlights the expo’s distinct branding, self‑competition mindset, and focus on solving the industry's primary pain point: finding financing.

And when COVID came, it just totally took out the conference. Oh, it killed us. And we didn't really know what we were gonna do. And, you know, I had to find something that I could do. You had to make a decision. I had to make a decision. And I decided that it was the right time to go out on my own and create a conference for the industry where I can fulfill the needs to solve the people's problem. The problem was, everybody's problem was in finances, finding borrowers, clients, clients, buying investors, brokers. And I said, you know what, if I can do that, I can scale, I can cut the fat, I can make it work. And we started off light. We're one of one. I feel like we're one of one. I work with anything. I don't have any competition. My only competition is myself. So we're different than everybody else. We don't call ourselves a private lending event. We call ourselves a Build, Flip, Rent Finance Expo. Well, I mean, anybody that's using private money to fund their deals, that's who, who, uh, we're marketing to and we're bringing in. And we like to bring in the new people to let them know, hey, there's, there's a whole lot of lenders nationwide that are doing creative financing. Oh my gosh. That they don't even know about. I didn't know about it.
