Click here: https://objectionproofselling.com/millionaire Brent Daniels flew into Phoenix to sit down with Steve Trang on the Disruptors Podcast and deliver one of the most contrarian conversations in wholesaling in 2026 — going from a 385 credit score to over $20 million in real income using a philosophy so simple it sounds wrong at first: just talk to people. Brent is the founder of Talk To People and the face of Wholesaling Inc, has coached over 8000 wholesalers throughout his career, runs a lean three-person acquisition team targeting $3 million in annual revenue, and recently made $102,000 from a deal that his AI bot set on the 4th of July while his team was completely off. In this episode Brent breaks down why 90% of the competition that was in wholesaling in 2021 has already disappeared and why that makes now the easiest time in history to do deals, why your trash can is the most important tool in your business, why motivated sellers love motivated buyers and what that means for how fast you need to call your leads, and why the wholesalers who scaled big between 2020 and 2022 are quietly getting back into home services because they took home far less than the lean operators who stayed small. Brent and Steve cover why building a big team in wholesaling almost always reduces what you take home rather than increasing it and the surgeon versus hospital owner framework for figuring out which type of operator you actually are, why inbound PPC leads from Google outperform every outbound strategy Brent has ever tried and what the minimum monthly budget is to actually get quality leads in a major market, the cold email blue ocean strategy that costs $2000 a month and generates 3 to 5 leads a day from public county data with almost no competition offering it as a service, why the AI bot backed by Objection Proof AI set an appointment on July 4th that produced $102,000 in profit and why Brent was reluctant about AI until that moment changed his mind completely, how to call your leads 12 times in the first hour and 22 times on day one without burning out your acquisition team, and why coaching in real estate has become the Napster of education where every strategy has a shelf life of 3 years before it proliferates for free.

In this episode Rob breaks down how his monk training gave him a psychological advantage that no sales course teaches, why he spent his last $1,000 on skip tracing before his first deal and made it work, how his team locked up $500,000 in equity in the first 30 days of switching to curative investing, why his 10th phone call ever in a new strategy produced a $90,000 net profit deal in North Charlotte, and how the same ego dissolution frameworks he built in the nonprofit — including the Tragic Four and the Four Rs — became the cultural foundation of a seven figure real estate operation.Rob and Steve cover the curative investing model in full — buying properties that cannot be sold due to title issues like co-owner disputes, probate clouds, liens and uninsurable title — and why this strategy has almost no competition because most investors are unwilling to do the legal research required, how Rob finds deals from tax delinquent lists and code violations without spending a dollar on traditional marketing, the identity statement exercise Rob teaches where you write every negative belief you hold about yourself and rewrite each one as the opposite to rewire the subconscious story blocking your results, why the Tragic Four — rationalizing, justifying, making excuses and blaming others — is the specific ego pattern destroying most real estate closers on seller appointments, why Rob is building a sound temple and off grid retreat space in Texas and plans to eventually hand off the real estate operation entirely to fund the nonprofit work that started everything, and why the Daoist grand master philosophy that shaped Rob's worldview says you must first live in poverty then become an extreme capitalist then give it all back.If this episode made you think differently about what kind of person can make it in real estate hit subscribe because every week on Disruptors Steve Trang sits down with the operators investors and entrepreneurs who are actually building real wealth to bring you the unfiltered playbook for your first or next million.

Click here: https://objectionproofselling.com/millionaire Michael Hunter drove up from just down the street to sit down with Steve Trang on the Disruptors Podcast and expose the biggest lie in the personal branding and influencer industry — the belief that more followers equals more money. Michael is the founder of PersonalBrand.com and Spiffy Checkouts, has served as an external CMO for Brendon Bouchard where he helped build his entire internal marketing team and ran his launches from 2015 to 2017, has worked with Jim Kwik, Harvey McKay, Pete Vargas and dozens of other major names, and has powered over one billion dollars in creator revenue through his systems and software. In this episode Michael breaks down why most influencers with massive audiences make almost no money and what separates the creators who actually get rich from the ones who go viral and stay broke, the four stages of a personal brand business from zero to seven figures and the specific mistake most people make that keeps them stuck between stage one and stage two, why the invisible tax is silently driving away your best clients before they ever reach out to you, how his client Eliza went from a $5K keynote she could not raise to a half-million dollar corporate contract in under a year by discovering the single word that connected her entire life story, and why fulfillment and getting clients predictable repeatable results is the only thing that actually builds a brand that lasts. Michael and Steve cover why follower count is the wrong metric to obsess over and which number actually predicts whether a personal brand becomes a profitable business, the concept of return on energy and why some of the most profitable offers in your business are actually costing you more than they are making you, how to find the golden thread that connects all of your seemingly unrelated expertise into one positioning statement that premium buyers immediately understand and trust, why the personal brand industry is full of people who are confusing content marketing with brand building and how to tell the difference, the four stage model Michael calls Calling Opportunity Traction and Scale and what the specific bottleneck looks like at each stage, why the information age is over and the age of transformation has begun which means the only thing that will matter going forward is getting people actual results not just giving them more content to consume, and how Michael spent years generating millions of dollars for other people before realizing his own nervous system was the thing blocking him from doing it for himself.

In this episode the three hosts break down why most real estate investors have been evaluating tools through affiliate links and guru recommendations instead of sitting down with the actual technology, how Objection Proof AI booked over 9000 appointments with zero human involvement using AI voice agents, why AI made Steve Trang's company hire more people not fewer because output increased so dramatically that they needed more humans to fulfill the new capacity, why Jordan's framework of treating AI as a digital employee rather than a standalone tool is the single biggest shift that separates investors who get leverage from AI versus investors who just buy subscriptions they never use, and why Stephanie built this event out of frustration that over 100000 real estate investors doing serious volume in the United States had no dedicated technology event where they could put their hands on the keyboard and actually build the tools rather than just hear about them.Stephanie Jordan and Steve cover why Meta is sending two senior executives who manage tens of millions of dollars in real estate advertising spend to sit one on one with operators at the event and share exactly what is working inside Facebook and Instagram ad algorithms right now, why Salesforce is pivoting its entire platform from CRM infrastructure to agent-first infrastructure and what that means for how real estate investors build their tech stack in 2026 and 2027, why Twilio and smrtPhone are partnering to tackle trusted calling and how to keep your phones answered as spam likely designations get worse, how operators doing 3000 transactions a month are already in the room and none of them are making Lamborghini posts on social media, why Jordan's book The AI Labor Architecture is being given free to every attendee so they can think about integrating every tool they see in terms of the whole business system rather than isolated capability, and why Steve Trang argues that the most important thing you can do in the next six months is make sure your business does not look identical to how it looked twelve months ago.If you have been waiting to figure out which AI tools actually work for real estate investing without relying on someone else's affiliate link this is the episode and the event for you.

Chip spent ten years as a professional online poker player, never held a traditional job, and used the same statistical targeting philosophy he developed at the card tables to build a wholesale real estate operation that went from one man doing 36 deals a year to a lean two-person partnership closing 450 deals across Austin Houston and Dallas. In this episode Chip and Zaman break down exactly how they went from a one man show to 450 wholesale deals, why Chip's poker background gave him a targeting system that most real estate investors have never heard of, how finding the most motivated sellers instead of marketing to everyone is the single biggest competitive advantage in wholesale real estate today, why Chip stopped doing sales the moment Zaman joined and deals immediately doubled, how they pivoted from virtual statewide operations across all of Texas to focused in-person appointments in Austin and why that single decision transformed their closing rate, and what the division of roles between a visionary strategist and an elite closer actually looks like inside a high-volume real estate operation.Chip and Steve cover the bomb hunting strategy Chip developed as a professional poker player and exactly how it applies to finding motivated sellers in real estate, why marketing to everyone is the most expensive mistake a wholesaler can make and how targeting only the highest probability sellers cuts your marketing waste and increases your conversion rate simultaneously, how Zaman went from a civil engineering career to becoming one of the most effective real estate closers in Austin by spending five hours a day studying sales calls after work for an entire year, why hiring based on Predictive Index personality profiles changed everything about the quality of people they brought into Smooth Closing, how they use curative title work and foreclosure strategies to find deals that every other investor in their market walks away from, why doing 36 deals alone for two years confirmed that the ceiling of a one person operation is not a market problem but a people problem, and the specific moment Chip realized Zaman was better at sales than he was and made the decision to step back and only handle strategy.If this episode gave you one idea to restructure your wholesale real estate business hit subscribe because every week on Disruptors Steve Trang sits down with the operators investors and entrepreneurs who are actually building real wealth to bring you the unfiltered playbook for your first or next million.Follow Chip And ZamanChip Personal Instagram: @thechipfergusonhttps://www.instagram.com/thechipferguson/Chip LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chip-ferguson-581a94271/Smooth Closing Instagram: @smoothclosinghttps://www.instagram.com/smoothclosing/Smooth Closing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SmoothClosing/Smooth Closing website: https://www.smoothclosing.comSmooth Closing phone: (512) 368-9989Chip email: [email protected] Closing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/smoothclosingSubscribe for more disruptive conversations: https://youtube.com/@DisruptorsPodcast

Brandon has been one of the most trusted names in real estate PPC since 2017 and his clients have collectively generated over $50 million in wholesale fees through Google Ads, Facebook Ads and SEO. In this episode Brandon breaks down why most real estate investors are wasting their entire PPC budget on the wrong keywords, how his team analyzed over 40,000 search terms and millions of clicks to build a proprietary keyword model that delivers as few as 11 motivated seller leads per contract, why a solo operator spending $10,000 a month on Google Ads is on track to hit seven figures in revenue this year using a single marketing channel, why smaller leaner real estate teams consistently outperform larger ones when the marketing is done right, and why the gap between a good motivated seller lead and a great one is getting wider in 2026 and what that means for how you should be structuring your campaigns right now.Brandon and Steve cover the three jobs of a CEO that cannot be delegated and how Brandon rebuilt his 35-person agency culture from the ground up after scaling too fast following his first appearance on Disruptors, why throwing time and money at every problem in your real estate business is the fastest way to create debt you cannot see until it destroys your culture, the difference between reactive and proactive client management and how Bateman Collective built a system of five non-negotiables that every account manager must hit daily, why broad match keywords that have historically performed terribly in real estate PPC suddenly started producing 11 leads per contract in Q3 of 2025 and how to implement them safely with guardrails, how Google now has over 10,000 data points per user including mortgage statements and YouTube viewing history that make broad targeting more powerful than narrow keyword targeting for motivated seller campaigns, and why the real estate investors who will win in 2026 are the ones who understand their marketing channel deeply enough to make strategic decisions alongside their agency rather than treating PPC as a black box.If this episode gave you one idea to improve your real estate marketing hit subscribe because every week on Disruptors Steve Trang sits down with the operators investors and industry experts who are actually building real wealth to bring you the unfiltered playbook for your first or next million.

In this episode Alex breaks down why boring unglamorous businesses create more wealth than exciting tech startups, why franchising is arguably the most overlooked path to becoming a millionaire that nobody is talking about, how the wealthiest franchise operators in America stay completely quiet about what they have built and why that silence is the biggest signal of all, and how he went from a Wake Forest finance major doing laundry for college students to raising venture capital for a boring service business and turning it into a $100 million exit. If you are an entrepreneur real estate investor or aspiring business owner who has been looking for a wealth strategy that actually works without needing a revolutionary idea this episode will permanently change how you think about which businesses are worth building.Alex and Steve cover the exact mechanics of how a boring laundry delivery business raised $33 million in VC funding and why investors backed a service business most people would laugh at, how Alex solved the supply chain problem that almost killed the business by partnering with coin laundromats and eventually building LaundroLab as a franchise brand, why selling 118 franchise locations in 14 months was both the best and most operationally challenging thing his team ever did, the four factors that determine whether a franchise is the right fit for any entrepreneur regardless of background or capital level which are operational fit risk tolerance financial capacity and personal legacy goals, why the franchise broker industry has almost no regulation and how that creates massive risk for first-time buyers who do not know how to evaluate a franchise deal independently, and how Franzy uses AI to match aspiring business owners with franchise opportunities the way Zillow matches homebuyers with properties by aggregating 35000 franchise disclosure documents and surfacing the data that brokers have historically kept hidden.If this episode opened your eyes to a wealth strategy you had never seriously considered hit subscribe because every week on Disruptors Steve Trang sits down with the founders operators and empire builders who are actually building real wealth to bring you the unfiltered playbook for your first or next million.

In this episode Dakota breaks down the exact reason most wholesalers are overcomplicating their operations and why the lean six-person team he built after stripping the business back to its essentials is producing more net profit than the larger team ever did, how he transitioned from flipping 49 houses simultaneously with $5 million in debt to a wholesale model that lets him sleep at night, why the one acquisitions person he found changed everything and what the combine-style process looks like for finding someone who can handle 30 deals a month without hand-holding, and the mindset shift that happened when he became a father and realized the risk model he had built was not designed to survive if something happened to him. Dakota and Steve cover why most wholesalers think they need more people when the real answer is fewer better people, how Dakota kept his business profitable through every market shift since 2018 while most of his peers either scaled too fast and collapsed or quit when things got hard, the specific lesson he learned from stepping away and letting the team run it that almost cost him everything and what he would do differently, why his car sales background gave him a closing system that most real estate investors never develop because they came from a background where someone else was always selling for them, and how the coaching community he built called Investor Limited is designed around people contributing to each other rather than Dakota being the only source of knowledge.

In this episode Nick breaks down how two college guys who hated their corporate jobs three months after graduation built one of the most recognized home service brands in America by picking the most overlooked and most unglamorous industry they could find, showing up on the very first episode of Shark Tank before anyone knew what Shark Tank was, refusing to quit through the housing market crash of 2008, selling 25% of the business to a private equity firm backed by self-made billionaires, and building a leadership and franchise system that now runs while Nick steps back in to push the business from $300 million toward $1 billion.Nick and Steve cover why near 100% gross margin in the early days of hauling junk was the signal that the business was worth everything, how one franchise location went from $60,000 a month to $600,000 a month overnight simply by putting the right operator in place, why Nick got fired from his own company by a consultant who told him he was in the way and what he did about it, the difference between founder mode and leadership mode and why Nick believes the next phase of growth requires him to be fully back in founder mode, how Roman the brand president runs the entire $300 million operation while Nick focuses on vision and brand, why culture and brute force persistence beat talent and strategy every single time across 20 years of building, and what Nick would tell any entrepreneur sitting on an overlooked unglamorous business idea that everyone around them is telling them to abandon.If this episode made you think differently about what kind of business is worth building hit subscribe because every week on Disruptors Steve Trang sits down with the operators founders and empire builders who are actually doing it to bring you the unfiltered playbook for your first or next million.

Brandon Jarvela went from homeless and living out of his car on a $30 grocery budget to generating $4 million in wholesale real estate in a single year and in this episode of Disruptors he sits down with Steve Trang to share the exact hiring process that made it all possible. Brandon breaks down the combine style group interview he built that filters out everyone who shows up with a pretty face and a pretty resume and leaves only the heavy hitters who close deals, why one quiet girl from the Philippines outlasted five high energy candidates to become his top lead manager with a 100 percent show rate, and why getting the right people in the right seats was the single biggest needle mover between struggling with bad hires and doing nearly 200 transactions in a year.Brandon Jarvela is a US Navy veteran turned 7-figure wholesaler who retired from his engineering career within six months of starting in real estate, generated $300K in his first full year and has now done over $20 million in personal deals and over $40 million in student deals across 500 plus US markets.
