  • Cashflow by the Room : Breaking Down Co-Living Real Estate | Joe Moffet E448
    2026/01/10

    Cash flow doesn’t always come from bigger deals—sometimes it comes from using space more intelligently.

    Rich Somers sits down with Joe Moffet to break down the co-living model and why renting by the room has become one of the most reliable ways to generate cash flow in today’s market. Instead of fighting interest rates or waiting for appreciation, Joe explains how this strategy focuses on monthly income first—and why that mindset changes everything.

    The conversation dives into what co-living actually is, how to identify the right markets, and what makes a property work for this model. Joe shares real numbers, buy-box criteria, and the operational details most people overlook—from parking and bathrooms to tenant screening, house rules, and culture. He also explains why certainty matters, how memberships replace traditional leases, and how this approach reduces downside risk.

    Rich and Joe unpack why affordable housing demand continues to grow, how co-living solves a real problem for working professionals, and why this strategy can outperform traditional long-term rentals with fewer doors. From underwriting and market testing to managing tenants and scaling responsibly, this episode lays out a clear framework for investors who want income now—not later.

    This is a grounded, no-fluff breakdown of co-living real estate for investors looking to maximize cash flow, create stability, and build momentum in any market cycle.

  • Your Money Will Grow When Your Mindset Does | Joe Moffett E445
    2026/01/03

    Money doesn’t scale until identity does.

    Rich Somers sits down with Joe Moffet for a grounded conversation on why mindset—not tactics—is the real lever behind financial growth. Joe breaks down how most people sabotage themselves before they ever get started, why identity precedes income, and how shifting the way you see yourself changes the way you show up in business, investing, and life.

    The discussion dives into the mental traps that keep people stuck in the 9–5, why listening to the wrong voices slows momentum, and how reframing your job as a tool—not an obstacle—can accelerate long-term freedom. Joe shares why consistency beats intensity, how proven systems eliminate fear-based decisions, and why most people never give themselves enough reps to win.

    Rich and Joe also unpack the importance of environment, getting into the right rooms early, and why proximity to people living the life you want shortens the learning curve. From redefining success and patience to aligning with the right partners and roles, this conversation connects mindset directly to measurable results.

    This is a practical, no-fluff discussion for anyone building toward financial independence—and ready to upgrade the way they think before trying to scale the way they earn.

  • He Went From $0 to $50K/month on TikTok Shop: Top Side Hustle of 2026? | Nick Fowler E443
    2025/12/30

    Most side hustles fade fast. A few turn into real businesses.

    Rich Somers sits down with Nick Fowler to break down how he went from $0 to $50K per month using TikTok Shop, and why this model may be one of the most overlooked opportunities heading into 2026. Instead of chasing virality, Nick explains the systems, discipline, and repetition required to make TikTok Shop work consistently—not just once.

    The conversation dives into what actually drives conversions on the platform, why most people fail after early traction, and how Nick approached product selection, content volume, and iteration without relying on hype or shortcuts. He shares the mistakes beginners make, the mindset shift required to scale, and why treating this like a real business—not a quick win—is the difference maker.

    Rich and Nick also unpack where TikTok Shop fits into the broader creator and ecommerce landscape, who this model is not for, and why execution beats creativity every time. From testing and reps to staying focused when results are uneven, this episode breaks down what it really takes to build durable income in a noisy space.

    This is a clear, practical conversation for anyone curious about modern side hustles—and serious about turning attention into predictable revenue.

  • A 30 Year Hotel Broker Shares His Boutique Hotel Playbook and Why! | Oliver Shah E442
    2025/12/27

    Experience matters—especially in a business where cycles, ego, and bad underwriting quietly destroy capital.

    Rich Somers sits down with Oliver Shah, a hotel broker with more than 30 years in the hospitality industry, to break down what actually works in boutique hotels—and why most people underestimate the complexity behind them. Drawing from decades of transactions, Oliver shares how the best operators think differently about location, asset selection, operations, and long-term value creation.

    The conversation dives into what separates a strong boutique hotel from a lifestyle project, how to underwrite hotels realistically, and why operational discipline matters more than aesthetic upgrades. Oliver explains where investors get misled, how trends come and go, and why experience across multiple cycles changes the way you evaluate risk and opportunity.

    Rich and Oliver also explore the realities of hotel brokerage, the mistakes first-time buyers consistently make, and why patience, structure, and operator alignment matter more than chasing “sexy” deals. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous decisions that ultimately determine whether a boutique hotel thrives or struggles.

    This is a practical, experience-backed conversation for investors and operators who want to understand hospitality beyond the highlight reel—and build something that actually works over the long term.
