Airbnb is tightening regulations. Mom-and-pop hotel owners are retiring in waves. And the modern traveler doesn’t want cookie-cutter rooms anymore — they want design-driven, Instagrammable stays with real hospitality baked in.

In this episode, Rich breaks down the exact playbook he used to escape his 9–5 as an air traffic controller and build a fast-growing boutique hotel portfolio with seller financing, AI, and influencer-powered marketing. You’ll hear how he bought hotels for six figures down, doubled revenue in 60 days just by turning on OTAs, and why boomers offloading no-tech properties is the biggest wealth transfer no one’s talking about.

Rich also reveals the levers that make boutique hotels scale way faster than Airbnbs ever could: dynamic pricing with AI, automated concierge systems guests think are human, turning innkeeper suites into revenue, amenity-fee arbitrage, and a weekly influencer pipeline that no big-brand hotel can replicate.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get into hotels without being “rich,” or how boutique assets can outperform multifamily in today’s market, this is the blueprint — from acquisition to operations to forced appreciation.

Tap in. This episode will change the way you look at hospitality forever.

Most people think taxes are unavoidable — but the wealthy know better. In this episode, Rich sits down with Carter Cofield and George Acheampong to break down the exact frameworks high-net-worth individuals use to legally shrink their tax bill to zero. No shady loopholes. No gray-area tricks. Just straight strategy backed by the tax code itself.

You’ll learn why self-rentals are one of the most slept-on write-offs for business owners, how the buy-borrow-die model keeps billionaires from ever triggering taxable events, and how short-term rentals and boutique hotels can legally offset W-2 income — even if only one spouse qualifies as a real estate professional. The guys go deep on trusts, HSA stacking, hiring your kids, private jets, boats, film credits, and the Augusta Rule… with real numbers behind every move.

This episode exposes how America’s tax system actually works — and how ordinary earners can start playing the same wealth game as the 1%. If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to build wealth effortlessly while others stay capped, this conversation is the difference.

Tap in. Your accountant is going to hate how much smarter you get after this one.

Most entrepreneurs are overpaying the IRS simply because they don’t know the game. In this episode, we break down one of the wildest — and completely legal — tax strategies available to business owners right now: using Bitcoin mining equipment to get 100% bonus depreciation while stacking the best-performing asset of the last 15 years.

Rich sits down with Colin Yurcisin to expose how Bitcoin mining actually works, why power is the new gold rush, how AI and data-center scarcity are driving Bitcoin miners into insane profitability, and the exact mechanics that let business owners convert ordinary income into Bitcoin with full write-offs up front.

You’ll hear how Colin went from a $500K tax bill to discovering this loophole, why Bitcoin’s scarcity model keeps sending it to new all-time highs, and the dark side of altcoins, NFTs, Celsius, BlockFi, and every other crypto trap people got wrecked on.

If you’ve ever wondered how people legally wipe out massive tax bills while building generational wealth, this conversation is the blueprint. No fluff — just straight strategy, mindset, and real numbers.

Tap in. This one will change the way you think about money forever.
