How Urban Capital Can Keep Your Money Moving with Will Coleman
Breakaway Wealth Podcast
08/09/22 • 33 min
In This Episode:
Here is something you already know: money has to flow or it dies. It needs to be constantly working for you and to do so, it needs to be constantly moving. Why let your money die when it could be making a return for you? This is exactly what this week’s guest helps people do. We are switching things up a little on the podcast this week, as Harper Jones is replacing Jim as host, and he’s catching up with Will Coleman from Urban Gate Capital.
Urban Gate Capital raises capital from investors and lends it out to people looking to buy property. They provide an average of between 3-6 month loans and over the last two years, have lent out just over $18 million to their clients. Will joins Harper to walk you through their business model, talk more about the fund they have recently launched for investors, and share more about how Urban Capital could keep your money moving for you. You’ll hear more about the short-term hard money lending industry, the advantages and benefits of lending, and some of the opportunities available within the industry.
Investors know that they need to keep their money moving and that capital sitting in their accounts is not an option. Urban Capital’s newly created fund is a fantastic way for investors to keep their capital working for them and their business model now enables them to fund even more people; it’s a win-win for all involved. If you’re wondering what to do with your capital and thinking about buying a project versus potentially lending to get some exposure, you need to listen to this episode. Harper and Will talk about the current market, the importance of educating yourself on what’s going on in the industry, and some ways to make your capital work for you, and Will shares his advice for anybody interested in lending.

Go From Passive to Active Income by Doing This with Dr. Vikram Raya
Breakaway Wealth Podcast
06/07/22 • 38 min
In This Episode: Many medical doctors believe that their career is set, that their profit-sharing plan is a necessity, and that their lives and jobs are a done deal. They get stuck in this mentality, but those instruments where their money is held are being eroded every single day by inflation. The age of the legacy career with a pension is done, and the goal now is to have optionality. Options such as multi-family real estate are growing in value, and even benefiting from inflation. So knowing this and that there is power in buying assets, not instruments, how do medical doctors decide where to put their money? This week’s guest is here to help.
Dr. Vikram Raya is a medical doctor, cardiologist, and real estate investor. With an interest in functional medicine, he wanted to practice medicine in a different way but he needed the initial financial means to do so. Searching for alternative options led him to the world of multi-family real estate and he went on to start Viking Capital, a leading multi-family investment firm creating multi-generational wealth. Hear more about Viking Capital this week and why Vikram loves multi-family real estate, as well as the reason you should consider it as a viable place to invest your money.
The only reason people don’t make a change is due to their fear of failing or something going wrong. But the only thing that cures fear is action, and Vikram believes that anybody can do real estate investing if they are passionate and willing to learn. He joins Jim this week to share how he found the courage to break away from a traditional career as a medical doctor, and how breaking the time-for-money equation opened the whole world up. Vikram shares the ONE decision that changed his life, the insane returns you can get from real estate compared with the stock market, and what he has learned from multi-family real estate.

Making the Move to Plant-Based Protein with Jim Pakulis
Breakaway Wealth Podcast
05/24/22 • 22 min
In This Episode:
There is a lot of evidence that a plant-based diet is a healthier way to eat, and people nowadays have the opportunity to introduce plant-based foods into their diet in ways they may never have considered before. Fast-food corporations such as McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and many others are starting to introduce plant-based options to their menus and more and more grocery stores are expanding their frozen sections to accommodate more plant-based meals. But do plant-based foods actually live up to the hype? Is it really possible to transition from an animal-based diet to a plant-based one? This week’s guest is here to talk more about the plant-based industry and his experience growing a business in the sector.
Jim Pakulis is the leader of the trillion-dollar shift from animal-based to plant-based protein. He is the CEO and Chairman of Boosh Plant-Based Brands Inc., a plant-based, non-GMO, gluten-free provider of heat-and-eat meals that suit any budget and preference. They offer a range of refrigerated, frozen, and shelf-stable options and there are now 600 stores throughout Canada alone. He joins Jim on the podcast this week to share more about his business journey in emerging industries such as this one, what he believes is causing this transformation and move from animal-based to plant-based protein, and some of the amazing benefits that come from incorporating plant-based products into your diet.
The plant-based industry is significantly growing, and Jim only envisages it expanding further in the future. He shares the reasons for such rapid growth, why he thoroughly enjoys this righteous, moral and humane approach to business and his thoughts on the future of the industry. With the growing number of incredible plant-based options available, people are now getting creative with their eating patterns and trying delicious meals they may never have previously eaten, so he shares how to make the most of the plant-based meals available to you in your supermarket, and his advice for anybody looking to get onto this train from either a business, financial, or personal standpoint. Plant-based meals are accessible, the price is great, and the taste is arguably even better than animal-based products. Is there really a reason not to try plant-based food?

How to Break into the Short-Term Rental Space with Julian Sage
Breakaway Wealth Podcast
05/03/22 • 30 min
In This Episode: Have you ever wondered how you can get into the real estate industry without having to spend a lot of money? When you are in real estate, you are not just a real estate investor; you are in the real estate business and this week’s podcast guest is here to share his success in running a short-term rental company. Julian Sage was looking for a way to grow and acquire multiple properties without putting up a lot of capital when he discovered the world of short-term rentals.
When it comes to business, we often have to try things that don’t work over and over again. But the key is continuing until we find the thing that does work, and that’s exactly what Julian did. After spending his savings investing in various businesses that didn’t succeed, Julian Sage found himself out of money and ready to give up. He started renting out his basement and found that doing so covered his mortgage payments, so he decided to explore the short-term rental space further. He quickly discovered that there are thousands of people out there making money from short-term rentals and bringing up to 7 times more money than long-term rentals. He is now transitioning to grow his short-term rental business full-time and joins Jim on the show this week to share his journey.
Julian plays a very active role in his business, but there are many different ways to be involved with short-term rentals. Whether you want to do it yourself, partner with someone as a co-host, or invest passively into a fund, Julian is sharing some approaches you can take to get into the world of short-term rentals. Hear why short-term rentals are completely different from long-term rentals and what many people don’t realize when they get into this space. He also shares his forecast for short-term rentals in the coming years and some tips to help you get started in this industry.

Wealth is Freedom with Maurice Philogene
Breakaway Wealth Podcast
04/19/22 • 28 min
Maurice Philogene is a real estate investor working with apartment complexes in the U.S. but developing land in the Mediterranean. In his early 20s, he knew he wasn’t destined to sit behind a desk for the rest of his life. He picked up Personal Finance for Dummies, where he read a passage about passive income, and it resonated. He began buying condos and single-family homes, and by 2014, he was generating more money through this passive revenue than in his job. But life isn’t just about money; true wealth is about freedom. He is now living a freedom lifestyle and is an example of how to make progress, be financially free, happy, and feel alive in life.
When your passive revenue exceeds your ideal standard of living, you are successful. You are financially free. Anybody can live a freedom lifestyle and Maurice joins Jim on the podcast this week to share what he thinks holds people back from being financially free. Maurice shares his journey in real estate and how he was able to break away from the traditional ways of earning, stop exchanging his time for money, and start to become financially free. Get ready to learn how you can do the same.
