How We Don't K*LL Each Other As Best Friends Running A Business Together
6d ago00:30:57Tap to summarizeThe fastest way to lose a best friend is to start a business with them.Unless you do this.Sam and Lucas have been best friends for 25 years and business partners for 12 of them. They've built four companies together, made every mistake in the book, and somehow still hang out on weekends. In this episode, they pull back the curtain on the actual dynamic that keeps their partnership working — the fights, the fixes, the strengths that offset each other's weaknesses, and the hard-earned rules they've built over a decade of doing business with the person they're closest to on the planet.If you've ever thought about starting a business with a friend, family member, or spouse — this is the episode that could save your relationship and your business.🏠 GET THE FREE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY: https://www.skool.com/relaunch/about📖 In this episode you'll hear:✅ Why most business partnerships don't survive year 3 (and how to make it past that)✅ The exact strengths and weaknesses that make Sam and Lucas complement each other✅ Stories from the early days when everything nearly fell apart✅ The one rule they follow that has prevented 90% of their conflicts✅ How to know if you SHOULD even have a business partner at all✅ The red flags to look for BEFORE you sign anything✅ Why picking a partner is more important than picking a co-founder✅ What to do when you and your partner disagree on a major decisionMost business advice on partnerships is written by people who've never had one. Sam and Lucas are living it, every single day, with a friendship that predates high school. They talk openly about the moments they wanted to walk away, the systems they put in place to protect the friendship, and why they still believe having the right partner is one of the biggest cheat codes in business.Whether you're considering starting a business with someone, already in a partnership that's rocky, or wondering if going solo is the smarter move — this episode gives you the honest playbook, not the LinkedIn-ready version.SPONSORS:🏦 FasterFreedom Capital — Need short-term, long-term, or gap funding for your next deal?

2w ago00:30:08Tap to summarizeBefore FasterHouse. Before FasterFreedom. Before any of the businesses Sam and Lucas run today — there was Budget Painting.Five summers. Two broke college kids. One ladder. And more near-death experiences than either of them care to admit.In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas pull back the curtain on the business that started it all. Budget Painting was never supposed to be a real company. It was a way to make beer money, avoid a normal summer job, and have some flexibility during college. What they didn't realize at the time was that five summers of running a scrappy little painting business would teach them every single skill they now use to run a $50M+ real estate operation.📖 In this episode you'll hear:✅ Why they started Budget Painting in the first place (and where the name came from)✅ The time Sam fell off a ladder jumping on it at Lucas's parents' house✅ Getting caught on a roof and having one of them jump off to escape✅ The ladders falling off the highway and almost hitting another car✅ The metal barn roof where they tied themselves to the peak and their shoes literally melted✅ Afternoon naps and creek breaks — the unofficial company policy✅ Losing a bid because they were laughing at a family portrait and farting in separate rooms✅ The first property they bid on and MASSIVELY underpriced✅ The real lessons that would later build multiple 7-figure businessesThis isn't a strategy episode. This is the origin story.Sam and Lucas didn't have a business coach, startup capital, or a plan. They had a ladder, some brushes, and 20 years of not knowing any better. Every mistake they made painting in college became a lesson they'd cash in a decade later — how to bid a job, how to talk to customers, how to manage cash flow, how to solve problems in real time, and most importantly, how to trust each other as business partners.If you've ever wondered whether your "dumb little side business" is worth taking seriously, this episode is your answer. Every real business owner Sam and Lucas know can point to one broke, chaotic, mildly humiliating first attempt that taught them everything.Whether you're a real estate investor, a wanna-be entrepreneur, or just here for the stories — grab a drink and enjoy. Because some of these stories have never been told publicly before.📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED:🏠 RE Launch (Free Real Estate Community): https://www.skool.com/relaunch/about💰 The FasterFlip System: https://flip.fasterfreedom.com/live🏦 FasterFreedom Capital: www.fasterfreedomcapital.com
Transcribe →Foreclosures Are Up 50%. Panic or Opportunity? (State-By-State Breakdown)
3w ago00:30:21Tap to summarizeForeclosures are spiking across America and every news outlet is asking the same question: is this 2008 all over again? In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas peel back the curtain on the actual foreclosure data — state by state — and give you the truth Wall Street and the media aren't telling you.Foreclosure filings are up double digits year over year, and headlines are scaring homeowners and investors into thinking a housing crash is coming. But when you look at the real numbers, a completely different story shows up.🏠 GET THE FREE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY: [Skool link]📊 In this episode you'll learn:✅ What the foreclosure numbers ACTUALLY say (spoiler: still below 2019)✅ Why foreclosures went to nearly zero from 2020-2023✅ The 5 states leading the surge — and why each one is different✅ The states barely feeling it (including Sam's home state, Missouri)✅ The 3 reasons this is NOT 2008 (and why comparing them is lazy)✅ How today's $34 trillion in homeowner equity changes everything✅ Why smart investors are quietly celebrating this shift✅ How to find pre-foreclosure deals in your market right nowThe mainstream media wants you to click. The data wants to tell you the truth. Foreclosures are up FROM artificially low COVID-era levels, TO still-below-normal historical averages. In 2010, America had 2.9 million foreclosure filings. In 2024, that number was around 322,000. Even at today's elevated pace, we're on track for well under half of pre-2008 levels.More importantly: the underlying setup is completely different. In 2008, subprime lending, no-doc mortgages, and negative equity created a system-wide collapse. In 2026, lending standards are the tightest they've been in decades, homeowner equity is at a historic high, and most people facing foreclosure can SELL their home for a profit before it ever hits auction.Sam and Lucas walk through the state-by-state breakdown — Florida's insurance crisis, Vegas's overpricing correction, Illinois's tax delinquency surge — and explain why the "national foreclosure crisis" narrative falls apart when you actually look at the map.For real estate investors, this shift means one thing: deal flow is back. Pre-foreclosure lists are getting bigger for the first time in five years. Motivated sellers are returning to the market. The retail buyers scared off by the headlines are leaving room for the smart money to move.Plus we talk about or man-date this weekend!www.fasterfreedomcapital.com

But here's what nobody's talking about: this news is even BETTER for real estate investors than it is for stock owners.In this episode, Sam and Lucas break down exactly what happened this morning, what inflation actually is, what causes it, and why owning real estate is the ultimate cheat code in ANY inflation environment — whether it's rising, falling, or staying flat.You'll learn:What the new inflation numbers actually mean for interest ratesWhy the Fed's next move could reshape the housing marketHow real estate destroyed inflation over the last 5 years (47% vs 19%)The 5 wealth engines that fire HARDER during inflationWhy rents have outpaced wages 2-to-1 for 40 yearsHow your fixed-rate mortgage becomes cheaper to pay off every yearWhy savers lose while asset owners quietly get richPlus: World Cup Cahtter, LeBron's off-season sightings, and the internet's favorite 2,200-pound Tasmanian elephant seal.If you've ever wondered why inflation makes the rich richer while everyone else falls behind — this is the episode that connects every dot.FasterFreedom Capital- www.fasterfreedomcapital.comFREE Flip Training- https://flip.fasterfreedom.com/training
