Still broke—even though you’re working hard, reading the books, and watching all the right content? In this episode of The Rich Somers Report, Rich sits down with Albert Preciado, entrepreneur and founder of Driven, to break down 10 brutal, unapologetic truths about why most people stay stuck—and exactly what it takes to break out of the cycle.

Rich and Albert dive into:

• Why avoiding discomfort is keeping you broke
• The role of ego, distraction, and comparison in sabotaging your momentum
• Why clarity, discipline, and speed matter more than strategy
• How to stop talking about your dream life and start building it
• Why the people around you are either pulling you forward—or holding you back

Albert shares his story of hitting rock bottom, rebuilding from nothing, and why being broke was the best thing that ever happened to him. This episode isn’t here to make you feel good—it’s here to wake you up. If you're ready to finally break through, this is your moment.

You don’t need another degree—you need ownership.

They cover:

• Why 9–5 jobs keep high performers trapped—and how to escape
• The “Freedom Framework” every entrepreneur needs to scale sustainably
• How to buy your first small business using creative financing
• The truth about risk tolerance and why most partnerships fail
• Why business builds freedom—and real estate builds wealth

In this episode, we sit down with Blake Harrington, founder of Baja Real Estate and one of the most plugged-in voices in Cabo San Lucas. From luxury villas and beachfront condos to Airbnbs, seller financing, and why some price points are moving faster than others, Blake breaks down exactly what’s happening in the Cabo real estate market right now.

We cover the real buyer profiles coming into Cabo, how the market differs above and below the $2M mark, why high-end properties are still moving strong, and where real opportunities exist for buyers today. Blake also explains how lending works (and doesn’t), how seller financing is being used creatively, and why Cabo continues to attract high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and families from across the U.S.

Beyond real estate, we talk lifestyle — Cabo vs. San José del Cabo, where people actually live long-term, the best areas to stay, golf communities, beach clubs, hotels, restaurants, and why once you visit Cabo, you almost always come back.

If you’re thinking about:

• Buying real estate in Cabo

• Investing in short-term rentals or second homes

• Understanding where the Cabo market is heading

• Or just learning why Cabo has become a world-class lifestyle destination
