Real Estate Millionaire Chris Craddock

We’re known as the renter's generation. Thanks to growing up in the midst of the worst economic contraction since the great depression, 2008 has taught us to refrain from any sort of financial commitment. Who can blame us for wanting to rent? We must get outside of this mindset, however, if we are to overcome the poor spending habits of generations prior. Let’s be honest, between the finding of the house, getting financing, and finding and managing tenants, it’s a bit of a mind-fuck (bleeped) so we brought on Chris, who’s goal is to own 13 million in real estate by the time he’s 50, who also leaves us with a great quote, you’re either paying for your landlord's house or your own. Here’s the blueprint for anyone looking to add real estate to their portfolio.—Take a second to follow, review, or share this with someone who might find it useful.

2.88 GPA to $2.5 MIL in Sales at Microsoft

Rishav and I wanted to bring back a favorite. We say favorite his episode had over 500 downloads so you all obviously thought there was something to learn from him, and we agree! Since the last time we spoke, he’s got new awards (probably from the millions in deals he closed for Microsoft in just one quarter), new life achievements which includes a duck in the oven, and a new city. Along the way, we learn about sales, living in Charlotte, and achieving those top awards within your organization. So Bradley, what is going on in your life?—Take a second to follow, review, or share this with someone who might find it useful.

Mail Room to Super Bowl, Executive Producer (SNF & Super Bowl), Fred Gaudelli

Super Bowl 52 was watched by over 100 million in the US. Many of us remember it from our couch and the following months and months of eagles fans making sure to let everyone know they were among the now 20 NFL teams to ever win the Super Bowl. Our guest remembers it differently, and also got to have possibly the best seat in the house, that’s because he was watching from the control room. That’s because he was the man who ran the whole show that ⅓ of all Americans watched. That means in his position, let's say you’re walking down the street, every third person you walk by, his work, has impacted. How many people have that sort of impact on such a large amount of Americans? Maybe Jeff Bezos and the many packages that arrive at our homes each week? Maybe Tim Cook and the iPhones we all walk around with? Yes, we put him in that category, as the executive producer of the super bowl(the 6th that he’s produced) and Sunday night football for 14 seasons. How does one get a gig like this? That’s what we wanted to ask Fred, in our first episode of Season 3 of practically passionate, Fred, first question here…..—Take a second to follow, review, or share this with someone who might find it useful.
