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.

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

This episode gives you a clear, honest, on-the-ground look from someone who’s been doing deals there for over two decades.

Momentum isn’t built by motivation—it’s built by alignment, consistency, and follow-through.

Rich Somers sits down with Jessica Burgio, the founder of @creativehousesd, for a grounded conversation on why so many people feel stuck despite doing “all the right things,” and what it actually takes to create lasting progress in business and life. Jessica breaks down how internal misalignment quietly sabotages execution, why clarity matters more than intensity, and how building trust with yourself becomes the foundation for growth.

The conversation dives into discipline, self-awareness, and the importance of creating systems that support who you’re becoming—not who you used to be. Jessica shares practical insights on identity, decision-making, and why most people confuse movement with momentum.

Rich and Jessica also explore how environment, boundaries, and honest self-evaluation shape long-term success, and why slowing down strategically often leads to faster results. This episode connects mindset to action—without fluff, clichés, or surface-level advice.

This is a thoughtful, execution-focused conversation for anyone ready to stop spinning their wheels and start building momentum that actually compounds.

What do you learn after launching 13+ companies and generating over $300 million in revenue?

In this episode, Rich sits down with Amrinder Kamboj—tech founder, app builder, and brand architect behind some of the most downloaded apps on the planet—to unpack the real business lessons most people don’t figure out until it’s too late. From launching with no capital to scaling tech startups with celebrity partners, Amrinder shares what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

They dive into:

• Why most ideas fail (and how to test yours without wasting cash)
• The secret to building fast-moving teams that don’t burn out
• How he landed partnerships with Shaq, Pitbull, and Chris Brown
• When to pivot, when to push through, and how to know the difference
• What $300M in sales taught him about product-market fit

Whether you're building an app, a brand, or a legacy business—this one’s a masterclass.

Let’s tap in.

Most people aren’t broke because they don’t make enough money—they’re broke because they believe the wrong things about it.

Rich Somers sits down with Garrett Gunderson to break down nine common money myths that quietly keep people stuck, overworked, and financially reactive. From saving vs. investing to debt, cash flow, and the false sense of security most people chase, Garrett challenges conventional financial advice and explains why it often backfires.

The conversation focuses on thinking differently about money, aligning finances with values, and building systems that create freedom instead of stress. This episode offers a clear, practical perspective for anyone ready to stop following outdated rules—and start making decisions that actually move the needle.

Rich Somers sits down with Evan Rugan to break down how he unlocked $1.5M in 0% business funding—without tax returns—and why most entrepreneurs misunderstand how access to capital actually works. Evan explains how proper entity setup, credit positioning, and timing open funding opportunities most people never see.

The conversation covers how banks evaluate risk, why personal credit often matters more than income early on, and how disciplined operators use leverage as a tool—not a lifeline. This episode offers a clear, grounded look at funding strategy for founders who want flexibility, control, and long-term optionality.

Storage units? Not quite. Try luxury man caves that cash flow like apartment buildings.

In this episode, Rich sits down with Ryan Garland—the #1 man cave developer in the country and the visionary behind a $500M+ real estate empire built on a wildly underrated asset class.

They cover:

How he scaled a luxury storage concept into a national brand
Why man caves have insane returns (and almost zero tenant drama)
What every investor should know about zoning, land, and design
How he turns gearhead passion into portfolio equity
Why timing, scarcity, and lifestyle branding matter more than comps
