Click here: https://objectionproofselling.com/millionaire Bobby Suarez flew in from Miami, Florida to sit down with Steve Trang on the Disruptors Podcast and break down exactly how he built 5 separate businesses across real estate, healthcare, lending and tech that generate income without requiring him to run any of them. In this episode Bobby covers the org chart moment that humbled him and changed everything, why he waited until his first business was completely predictable before building the next one, how he finds world-class operators and makes them partners so they run the day-to-day while he focuses on capital and strategy, the one model he has now applied five times across five completely different industries, and why he built Rezzie the Zillow of off-market real estate to solve the biggest problem in wholesale investing today. If you are a real estate investor, wholesaler or entrepreneur who wants to build a business that runs without you, this episode is the blueprint. Bobby Suarez is the CEO of Sell To Bobby, one of the largest home buyers in South Florida and an Inc. 5000 fastest growing company, the founder of Rezzie.com which is redefining how wholesale real estate deals get done nationwide by eliminating daisy chains and connecting verified buyers directly with real deals, a partner in two clinical research businesses in South Florida, a partner in a hard money lending company, and a coach to 7 and 8 figure real estate investment teams across the country. In this conversation Bobby and Steve cover how Bobby lost everything in the 2008 crash and rebuilt from zero, why he was a one-man show for 20 years before building a real team, how Gary Harper walked into his office and pointed out that every box on the org chart was Bobby, what it actually means to make a business predictable enough to leave, why his mortgage experience helped zero when he got into healthcare and lending and why that did not stop him, and how he structures partnerships so the right operators have the equity and motivation to run everything at the highest level.

Click here: https://objectionproofselling.com/millionaire Travis Johnson of MN Nice Home Buyers flew in from Monticello, Minnesota to share how he built a real estate investing business that generates close to $750,000 a year while working just three hours a day. In this episode of Disruptors hosted by Steve Trang, Travis breaks down exactly how he did it — from spending $180,000 and nearly going bankrupt to finding the one marketing channel that changed everything, how he built systems and processes that run the business without him, why he deliberately caps his income to be present for his four kids, and the specific TV advertising strategy through 10xTV that became his unfair advantage in a crowded market. If you are a real estate investor, wholesaler or entrepreneur who wants to close more deals and build a business that gives you your life back, this episode will permanently change how you think about what a successful business actually looks like. Travis and his wife Leah have been investing in Minnesota real estate since 2002 and built MN Nice Home Buyers into a BBB A-rated company operating across Minnesota with a 4.9-star rating. In this conversation Travis covers why he quit his corporate job with no plan after 18 years, how he bought two We Buy Houses franchises, watched both fail due to market saturation, then rebuilt from scratch with $0 in marketing and figured it out the hard way through 13 months of near-bankruptcy, why TV ads converted better than every digital channel he tried, how to buy rural properties for under $15,000 and sell them for $30,000 to $40,000 in towns most investors would never touch, why 70% of his deals close on follow-up not the first call, and how to build a three-hour workday that actually works.

Last year broke him in ways he didn't see coming — and the version of him sitting across from you in this episode is the result of what he rebuilt from the wreckage. In this conversation Ben reveals the exact three marketing hacks he used to get his clients to $300K months in wholesale, including the pixel conditioning system most agencies don't know exists, the metric your Google campaign is hiding from you that's doubling your real cost per lead, and why the ads that worked for a decade are now actively destroying your results.✅ The 3 hacks behind $300K wholesale months — broken down step by step.✅ Why your $150 lead is actually costing you $300 and what to do about it.✅ How to train your pixel to find motivated sellers before they even know they want to sell✅ The Andromeda Facebook update that wiped out campaigns overnight — and the only solution.✅ Why firing your sales team was the best scaling decision Ben ever made.✅ How a power lineman quit his job and hit $300K in his first 3 months as a wholesaler.✅ The MQL metric that separates wholesalers who scale from those who stay stuck.✅ Why generic "we buy houses" ads are dead — and what actually converts in 2026. ✅ How client testimonials became Ben's most powerful lead generation tool.✅ The mindset shift that turned last year's worst season into his most focused year yet.This episode is for the wholesaler who is already doing deals but can feel the ceiling — the one who knows something in their marketing is leaking money but can't find where. Ben doesn't teach theory. He runs over 40 active client campaigns nationwide and the data he pulls from those campaigns reveals patterns that no guru is talking about. Whether you're trying to close your first $300K month or you're trying to build a system that hits it consistently without burning yourself out in the process, this conversation gives you the framework, the mindset, and the specific moves that are working right now in the real market.Benjamin HoangBolt Dealshttps://www.boltdeals.io/Instagram: @officialbenjaminhoangYouTube: @benjaminhoang

Why Cold Calling Is Dead In 2026… Lessons Learned After Spending $100M In Ads

In this episode, they break down exactly why cold calling is dying in 2026, how a TCPA lawsuit from a cold calling troll forced a complete reinvention of their business model, and how they built Lead House 365 from scratch — a done-for-you inbound marketing system that delivers motivated seller leads exclusively to one investor per market. This isn't theory. These are hard lessons learned after two decades of digital marketing, a Russian hack that wiped out 30 clients overnight, and a relentless pursuit of a better way to find deals without a dialer, a VA farm, or a list that every competitor in your market already has.✅ Why cold calling is becoming impossible in 2026 and what's replacing it.✅ How iOS and Android updates are killing cold caller contact rates permanently.✅ The TCPA lawsuit that forced a complete business pivot.✅ How to train a Facebook pixel to find motivated sellers before they even know they want to sell.✅ Why lead companies are reselling your leads to 5 other investors in your market.✅ How inbound leads close 60% cheaper than traditional lead provider models.✅ The Russian hack that maxed out 30 clients' credit cards overnight and what they learned.✅ Why creative and messaging matter more than which ad platform you use.✅ How Lead House 365 is using AI and funnel design to get sellers to sign contracts without ever speaking to an acquisitions person✅ The difference between intent-based Google leads and behavior-based Facebook leads and when to use each.This episode is for anyone grinding in wholesale or fix-and-flip who feels like the ceiling is getting lower — and for anyone who's ever looked at a development deal and thought it was too big, too slow, or too risky. Max proves that the people who win in real estate aren't the ones who work the hardest. They're the ones who find the information nobody else has, move before the market catches up, and believe in the deal before the money exists. If you're ready to stop chasing leads and start building something that compounds, this conversation will change how you see the game.Follow Craig Murdough & Andrew RapierInstagram: @ Leadhouse365Facebook: @ Leadhouse365YouTube: @LeadHouse365 Website: https://leadhouse365.com/stSubscribe for more disruptive conversations: https://youtube.com/@DisruptorsPodcast
