  • Built Between Bedtimes – Episode 5: The Belt, the Guarantor, and the Deal That's Not Quite Closed Yet
    2026/05/04

    In this episode, Chris, Rob, and Dylan get into the messy, real, unscripted side of building — as dads and as investors. Chris shares how a taekwondo class next door to a Pilates studio might be the parenting hack nobody talks about, and the guys go deep on the age-old tension between engineering your kid's future versus just shepherding who they already are. Then the conversation shifts to Rama Capital's first deal, still working through the purchase and sale agreement, and what it actually takes to pull off a multifamily raise — from building the investor deck to finding a guarantor who can backstop the debt. It's not closed yet. But it's getting real.

  • Built Between Bedtimes – Special Episode: He Started With -$30K, Now He's Riding 2,000 Miles to Give Away $1 Million
    2026/04/30

    In this episode, Chris sits down with Matt King — CEO of GoBundance, family office operator for David Osborne, and a man who built everything he has by chasing proximity to greatness before he could afford to. Matt shares the locker room moment that rewired how he thinks about wealth, why service is the Trojan horse to knowledge, and what it really means to give yourself permission to pursue the life you want. Then he reveals the most audacious thing he's ever attempted: biking from the Mexican border to Canada — 2,000 miles, 12 days, 150 miles a day — while giving away $1 million to families along the route in real time. No fund. No someday. Just showing up mile by mile.

    2026/04/21

    In this episode, Rob opens up about one of the hardest weeks of his family's life — saying goodbye to Cheeto, the cat his daughter named at age four and loved for 13 years. The conversation gets real about how kids process loss, what parents get wrong, and why letting them witness the hard stuff might be the greatest gift you can give. Then the mood shifts: Rama Capital has its first multifamily deal under contract, and the guys pull back the curtain on what it actually takes to get there — the due diligence costs, the unknowns that keep you up at night, and whether this is the one that changes everything.

    In this episode, Chris, Rob, and Dylan each pull back the curtain on what they're actively building right now — and why none of it looks like it did a year ago. Rob opens up about transitioning out of his drywall business, selling it to a key employee, and going all-in on fix-and-flips with a goal of 10 deals in 2026. Chris shares the vision behind Rama Capital and why the team shifted their buy box to 5–30 unit multifamily. Dylan breaks down how Seneca Cost Segregation grew from a startup he had to prove to his wife, to a company that practically runs itself. Plus — real talk on depreciation, real estate professional status, and how these guys are legally eliminating their tax bills.
