Today, I welcome Jonathan Nurick to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jonathan is the co-founder of DivGro and today he shares how he is building a long-term investment fund designed to compound capital through rapid dividend growth over a 30-year horizon. He breaks down why his team focuses on about 30 high-quality companies, how the Gordon Growth Model helped shape DivGro’s philosophy, and why dividend growth can offer a more grounded signal of business progress than day-to-day share price volatility. Jonathan also dives into the psychology of investing, explaining why mastering your mindset matters just as much as mastering the financial merits of what you own, and how thoughtful feedback can help investors stay the course through fear, noise, and market dislocation. With a background rooted in family office investing and a strategy built on both financial rigor and behavioral insight, he distills lessons that are just as valuable for someone starting to build wealth as they are for experienced investors looking to think more clearly and act more deliberately.

Today, I welcome Jeff Guberman to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jeff is the founder of Ivy Capital and today he shares how he has built a real estate investment business focused primarily on student housing in secondary and tertiary markets. He highlights why he believes student housing offers a more definable business plan than traditional multifamily, how smaller ecosystems create fewer moving parts for investors to underwrite, and why creating community can be one of the biggest drivers of success in the asset class. Jeff also dives into his path from running multiple businesses into real estate syndication, how he thinks about risk, underwriting, and sponsor execution, and why he remains bullish on housing and development opportunities heading into 2026. With experience spanning multiple companies, market cycles, and real estate strategies, he distills lessons that are just as valuable for someone making their first passive investment as they are for seasoned operators looking to stay disciplined and invest in what they truly understand.

Today, I welcome Tom Dunkel to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Tom is the founder of Eagle Capital Investments and today he shares how his background in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and entrepreneurial real estate investing helped shape his approach to building wealth through private markets. He highlights how years of operating in distressed mortgage notes, self-storage, and short-term rentals ultimately led him to create a fund-to-funds model that gives investors access to vetted operators, stronger deal economics, and more thoughtful diversification outside the public markets. Tom also dives into why he believes most investors have been conditioned to think too narrowly about wealth building, how private lending and cash-flowing alternatives can create real financial freedom, and why sponsor selection is the single most important factor when evaluating any private deal. With decades of experience across corporate finance, private capital, and real estate, he distills lessons that are just as useful for someone just starting to think beyond Wall Street as they are for seasoned investors looking to preserve capital, generate cash flow, and compound wealth more intentionally.

Today, I welcome Jordan Canino to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Jordan is the Senior Director of Investor Relations at Hearthfire and today he shares how his career took a winding path through private equity real estate, law school, a short stint chasing a career as a sports agent in New York, and brokerage roles at firms like JLL and Colliers, before ultimately finding his lane in the self-storage industry. He highlights how those experiences led him into acquisitions and capital markets roles where he helped scale storage portfolios and raise capital from both retail investors and institutional partners.Jordan also breaks down why self-storage has become one of the most resilient sectors in real estate, explaining how demand tends to hold up even during economic downturns due to downsizing, relocation, and changing living patterns. He walks through what makes a strong storage investment—from analyzing supply and demand within a three-mile radius to evaluating rent trends, population growth, and barriers to new supply that protect long-term returns.He also dives into how institutional storage investors operate, including partnerships with major operators like CubeSmart and Extra Space, the value-add strategies used to improve performance, and why operational efficiency and market selection are critical to generating the high-teen to low-20% IRR returns many investors seek in the space.Welcome Jordan, to The Investing Secrets Podcast....Follow Jordan Canino:Website: https://go.hfireholdings.com/invest-in-self-storage-with-jordanLinkedIn: go.hfireholdings.comFollow Me:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3L2sTc7Instagram: https://bit.ly/3soYxtWLooking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments?
