The On The Rise Podcast

In this episode of the On The Rise Podcast, host Jeremy Dyer sits down with Kelsey Dineen, Director at Equity Trust Company, to walk through one of the most powerful and least understood tools available to real estate investors — the self-directed IRA. Kelsey unpacks exactly how investors can move old 401k and IRA dollars out of Wall Street and into passive real estate investments like those offered through Rise48 Equity, without triggering taxes or penalties. She covers the IRS rules that allow it, the common mistakes that destroy the tax shelter, how the process works step by step, and answers the most frequently asked questions investors have when they first discover this strategy. A practical, information-dense episode for any investor who has money sitting in a retirement account and wants to put it to work in real estate.

In this episode of the On The Rise Podcast, host Jeremy Dyer sits down with Adam Link, founder of Fireweed Capital — a comprehensive wealth management firm based in Northern Minnesota that takes a deliberately active approach to navigating market cycles. Adam breaks down why he disagrees with the "set it and forget it" investing philosophy, how active risk management protects investors from the behavioral mistakes that cost them the most, and how to think about portfolio construction across different time horizons. He also shares his perspective on AI's impact on the economy, how to calculate escape velocity from inflation, and why knowing what you want your money to do is the foundation of every good investing decision. A candid, practical, and intellectually honest conversation for any investor looking to think more clearly about wealth.

In this episode of the On The Rise Podcast's Faith-Driven Leaders Series, host Nick Stromwall reconnects with one of his most significant mentors — Paul Poteat, Midwest Network Director for Campus Outreach, 27-year campus ministry veteran, and the person Nick has called when navigating his toughest decisions. Paul unpacks a practical triangle framework for making wise decisions, shares how a triplex purchase near the University of Minnesota became an unexpected real estate investing journey, and delivers one of the most grounded and actionable frameworks for understanding and managing leadership anxiety. He also speaks to the danger of an external world that outgrows an internal world — and what leaders need to protect their integrity when the pressure to compromise is real. A rich, deeply human conversation for any leader who wants to grow in wisdom, steward anxiety well, and live with genuine integrity.
