Pillars Of Wealth Creation

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Mike McCarthy to discuss his entrepreneurial journey and the key relationships that helped him scale Keller Williams into a global leader. Mike reflects on how early partnerships and intentional collaboration were critical to building something lasting. The conversation then turns to GoBundance, the mastermind group Mike co-founded for men who’ve achieved financial success and want more out of life—better health, stronger relationships, greater impact, and more fun. What began as a business-focused brotherhood has grown into a comprehensive life mastermind with deep accountability and support. Mike now spends much of his time leading Fambundance, the family-focused branch of GoBundance. He and Todd talk about the importance of helping entrepreneurial families come together to define shared values, create a rhythm of connection, handle conflict with purpose, and raise kids who are equipped to lead. Legacy, Mike explains, isn’t just about financial wealth—it’s about how well we prepare the next generation to thrive with it.

Todd discusses the supply and demand cycle that is currently happening in multifamily real estate and how to plan for the future. New inventory has flooded into many markets and has peaked in most markets in 2024 and 2025. Through the remainder of the year, along with 2026 and 2027 new construction will slow back down to the norm, creating a healthy rental market. It’s easy to look at the headlines and think that real estate moves quickly; however, it’s important to remember that real estate takes years to make changes. Todd also reflects on the goals that we set and taking time to reflect on those goals, adjust, and take steps to get yourself back on track to finish the second half strong.

In this solo episode, Todd Dexheimer shares a personal reflection inspired by his 12-year-old son’s endless curiosity. Drawing from a recent experience, Todd emphasizes how the childlike instinct to ask “why” and “how” can be a powerful tool in business growth. Too often, entrepreneurs fall into the trap of thinking they already know enough—or hesitate to ask questions out of pride or fear. Todd challenges listeners to stay genuinely curious when engaging with peers, mentors, and partners. Whether you're just starting out or deep into your journey, there’s always something new to learn. Curiosity isn’t just for kids—it’s a mindset that can unlock insights, spark innovation, and build a better business.

Today, Todd comes to you on-site at one of his multifamily properties, where he’ll dive into a topic that can make or break your real estate business—hiring the right people who share your vision. Whether it's property management, maintenance, or contractors—your team is the face of your investment. If they don’t care about the details, your tenants will notice. And when the small things get ignored—peeling paint, broken lights, messy common areas—it’s not just a bad look... it’s what drives tenants out the door. But when you hire people who see what you see, who care about the experience you’re creating, those little touches become powerful retention tools—and even attract new renters.

Today, we’re tackling a topic that every high-income earner and business owner needs to pay attention to: tax strategy.

Today, Todd dives into one of the biggest questions in housing today: Why do home prices seem so much higher now compared to the 1970s, and is buying still worth it compared to renting? Todd breaks down how inflation, wages, interest rates, and lifestyle changes all play into the dramatic shift in home values. You might be surprised to learn that it’s not just the sticker price that’s changed, but also how we finance, use, and think about housing. He’ll also walk through the real numbers—what homes actually cost back then versus today, and how monthly mortgage payments stack up against current rent prices. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a renter, or a real estate investor, this episode will help you make sense of the market and what smart financial decisions look like right now.
