This episode features a replay of a past REIA Live event with Jeff Holst — a former attorney turned real estate investor who’s built a massive portfolio of over 350 residential units and multiple commercial properties. But Jeff’s success wasn’t handed to him — it was forged through serious adversity, including a life-threatening illness and personal bankruptcy.

In this raw and inspiring conversation, Jeff shares how his “No Bad Days” philosophy helped him rebuild his life, climb mountains (literally and figuratively), and find massive success in real estate. From scaling Machu Picchu and Mt. Kilimanjaro to building wealth one deal at a time, Jeff’s story is packed with perspective, practical advice, and real motivation.

If you’ve ever been knocked down and wondered how to get back up, this one’s for you.

This is a REIA Live replay you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of The Real Estate Rundown, Owen Dashner and Ted Kaasch kick back and chat about everything from epic family vacations to unsexy but essential business habits. You’ll hear hilarious travel stories (including altitude sickness horror), the value of choosing experiences over material gifts, and why going paperless in your business might just save your sanity.

Ted drops this week’s Gold Nugget—a brilliant parenting hack using the Greenlight card system that not only teaches kids financial responsibility but gives parents a breather from micromanaging chores. Owen throws in a curveball of his own: the underrated power of Dropbox and digital organization.

They also recap the latest Omaha REIA luncheon, talk about the importance of community in real estate, and share book and movie favorites that continue to inspire them (spoiler: yes, Deadpool gets mentioned). Whether you’re tuning in for real estate insights or just a good laugh, this episode delivers.

🎧 Listen now, reflect on your business habits, and maybe rethink that next vacation. Experiences beat stuff every time.

If you got even one golden nugget from this episode—whether it was about organizing receipts, saving for your kid’s car, or skipping Christmas gifts for a beach trip—leave us a review! Your feedback helps us keep sharing real stories, real laughs, and real strategies that make a difference.

In this episode of REIA Radio, Andy Schock joins Owen and Ted for a raw, insightful, and often hilarious look at what it really takes to build a thriving real estate business without sacrificing your sanity—or your privacy. A self-proclaimed high-functioning introvert, Andy unpacks how understanding his personal strengths, valuing his time, and fiercely protecting his private life have shaped the way he operates in real estate and beyond.

From his early days in event planning to learning the hard (and expensive) lessons of his first flip, Andy walks us through his evolution as a real estate investor. He talks about hiring the right people, outsourcing $10 tasks to focus on $10,000 work, and the launch of Blue Tape Solutions—a new company idea aimed at solving investor headaches with punch-list repairs.

The episode also touches on the bigger picture: how AI is reshaping job markets, why intentional living matters, and what it means to leave behind a legacy not just in business, but with your family.

If this episode gave you something to think about (or at least made you laugh), don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with a friend, drop us a five-star review, and help us keep bringing you real, unfiltered content from the front lines of real estate investing.
