What happens when life stops you in your tracks—and your income stops too? For Ashley Garner, that moment came with a heart attack. But instead of pulling back, he leaned into real estate, scaling from 10 units to over 400 doors—and building a business with lasting impact.

In this episode, Brett sits down with Ashley to explore:

• How he transitioned from a small single-family portfolio to large multifamily deals
• What a health scare taught him about the urgency of passive income
• The mindset shift that led to raising $4M for a HUD-backed acquisition
• Why he focuses on boring markets, big mission, and long-term value
• What passive investors should really care about when choosing deals

This isn’t just an investing story. It’s a resilience story. A purpose story. And a blueprint for building something that lasts.

What does a 14-year-old mowing lawns have in common with a passive investor and digital marketing expert? Intentionality.

In this episode, Brett sits down with Jason Wright, founder of Intentionally Inspirational, to unpack how he built a business that runs without him — and how that freedom led him to real estate investing.

Jason has built over 650 sales funnels and helped over 200 capital raisers grow their businesses — but what makes him different is his obsession with the relationship, not the tech.

Inside This Episode:

• How Jason became a passive real estate investor (and why he avoids multifamily for cash flow)
• Why your CRM is your real asset
• The single biggest mistake capital raisers make (and how to avoid it)
• Why video is the new handshake

The “backwards route” that actually scales trust
