Why AI 'Experts' Are WRONG About The Apocalypse (And How You'll Get RICH Instead)

I brought an AI expert to Maui last week who's raised over $117 million using AI. And he thinks all the scientists screaming about AI doom are missing the point entirely.Joe Stolte joined Cam and me to answer the question I've been losing sleep over: Are we all dead because of AI?Here's what's wild: the people screaming the loudest about AI destroying humanity? They've never actually built anything. They're catastrophizing because it's easier to imagine terrible futures than create positive ones.Meanwhile, regular people who understand AI are quietly automating their businesses, raising millions with AI-generated pitch decks, and scaling faster than ever before.In this episode:Why your brain is wired to fear AI (and why that's costing you money)The newspaper headlines that said electricity would "destroy humanity" (sound familiar?)Joe's 5-step framework: Learn AI → Use AI → Build with AI → Teach AI → Scale with AIHow he raised $117M using AI to create pitch decks and presentationsReal examples of how AI is replacing jobs (and why that's actually good news)The Dan Sullivan story: Why we're terrible at predicting the future but great at attaching meaning to thingsHow to use AI right now even if you're scared or skepticalWhile everyone's arguing about whether AI will kill us, your competition is using it to automate, scale, and get rich.DM me the word "BEARD" and I’ll send you all the resources mentioned in the episode.🧔‍♂️ WHO AM I?

Four Millionaires Share the #1 Advice That Made Them Millions.

I had two millionaire real estate investors visit Maui last week. So naturally, we sat down and recorded a podcast.Craig Curelop (house hacking legend, founder of The FI Team) and Mike Brockway (luxury short-term rental expert) joined Cam and me to talk about the single pieces of advice that completely changed our financial trajectories.Here's what's wild: none of us became millionaires because we worked harder. We became millionaires because someone gave us advice that shifted how we thought about building wealth.In this episode:The BiggerPockets forum post that changed my entire life (and why I still have it printed out 20 years later)Why the "bucket vs. pipeline" story from Cashflow Quadrant made me a MULTI-millionaireCraig's house hacking journey and why "living like no one else" is more than just frugalityMike's short-term rental empire and the power of getting around the right peopleCam's BRRRR breakthrough (and why it doesn't work the same way in 2026)The difference between advice that makes you a millionaire vs. advice that makes you a MULTI-millionaireWhy systems beat hustle every single timeHow to surround yourself with people who make the impossible look like a Tuesday morningThe thread throughout this entire conversation? None of this was complicated. But it required us to actually listen and implement instead of just nodding our heads.REI Summit 2026 is happening April 1–3 in Austin, Texas.

The Random Show: ADUs and Co-Living, 2026 Goal-Setting, and Working with Your Spouse

This episode has no agenda… and that’s why it works!We bounce from ADUs and co-living to 2026 goal-setting to the rarely discussed reality of working with your spouse, not because we planned to, but because these topics are quietly connected by the same question: How do you design a life that actually works?What starts as a practical conversation about housing flexibility turns into a bigger discussion about tradeoffs—space, money, time, ambition, and relationships. We talk about why some “smart” ideas fall apart in real life, why certain goals lose their appeal as your life changes, and why mixing marriage and business can either sharpen everything… or expose every crack.If you like real conversations that don’t fit into neat buckets, make sure to hit FOLLOW 🔔Know someone thinking about ADUs, co-living, or working with their spouse?
