What does it really take to build an 8-figure business… and survive the crashes along the way? Tom Dunkel is a battle-tested entrepreneur who’s spent nearly 30 years in the trenches of business. He’s built two 8-figure companies, lost six, and raised over $50 million across multiple asset classes. Tom doesn’t just talk about success—he’s lived the full spectrum of wins, setbacks, and hard-earned comebacks.

Now serving as Managing Director of Eagle Capital, Tom helps investors grow their wealth through operator-backed deals, but his true passion is still building businesses from the ground up. From assembling elite teams to turning chaos into clarity, he brings real-world strategy you won’t find in a textbook.

We dive into the lessons failure teaches, what separates good operators from great ones, and how to keep pushing forward when things don’t go as planned. Plus, you’ll hear how Tom balances high-stakes business with life outside the office—as a competitive golfer, rock band frontman, and advocate for causes that matter. If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or someone chasing your next big win, this episode is packed with insights you can actually use.

Jay Conner is a seasoned real estate investor who transformed his business by walking away from traditional bank financing and mastering the art of private money. After starting out in 2003 relying on banks—bringing large down payments, paying hefty fees, and signing personal guarantees—Jay found himself stressed and controlled by lenders. Everything changed after the 2008 market crash when his banker cut him off, forcing him to rethink how he funded deals. That turning point led him to develop a powerful, repeatable system for raising private money, allowing him to secure over $2 million in just a few months—starting with a single $250,000 commitment. Today, Jay consistently generates seven-figure profits while working less than 10 hours per week. In this conversation, he breaks down how investors can fund deals without banks, scale with confidence, and create true freedom through real estate.

Tim Woodbridge is a mobile home park investor whose journey proves that bold action can completely change the trajectory of your life. After spending years working long shifts as a nurse, Tim had a mindset shift after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad—and instead of just thinking about investing, he took action. Within a year of discovering mobile home parks, and with very little capital, he purchased his first deal. Fast forward just a few years, and he’s built a $45 million mobile home park portfolio spanning more than 1,100 pads, allowing him to retire from nursing and focus full-time on building recession-resistant investments.

We dive into why mobile home parks have become one of the most compelling asset classes in real estate, how investors can participate passively, and the strategies he uses to deliver strong returns—including targeting a 2x equity multiple and significant first-year tax savings through cost segregation. We also discuss the bigger mission behind the business: creating affordable housing while helping high-income professionals build wealth and reduce taxes. It’s a powerful story of resilience, reinvention, and the impact that real estate investing can have not just on your finances, but on your freedom and your life.

Alex E. Edwards didn’t wait for permission to succeed — he rewrote the rules. After purchasing his first multifamily property in his early twenties, he went on to build a multimillion-dollar real estate company and become the founder of Thumbprint Realty, now the largest Black-owned brokerage in New England. But Alex’s impact goes far beyond transactions. As a TEDx speaker and author of Mortgage Before Marriage, he’s leading a bold conversation: what if financial freedom should come before marriage — not after?

Through more than 1,200 closed transactions and millions in buyer assistance, Alex has helped turn access into opportunity, especially for single women and first-generation homebuyers who’ve been told to “wait their turn.” In this conversation, we unpack how money stress silently impacts relationships, why equity can strengthen families, and how ownership transforms communities. His mission? Help one million people build legacy before love — because when we change what we own, we change everything that follows. This one will challenge how you think about money, marriage, and what it really means to build wealth.

Mike Cobb, CEO of ECI Developments and author of How To Buy Your Home Overseas & Get It Right The First Time, explores what it really takes to live—and invest—abroad successfully. More than 25 years ago, Mike saw the gap between people dreaming about retiring on a beach and actually making it happen, so he set out to build thoughtfully planned communities across Latin America, including Belize, Nicaragua, and Panama. Since then, he’s helped thousands of expats, investors, and digital nomads turn “someday” into a concrete plan through practical education, on-the-ground Discovery Tours, and real-world development experience.

Ashley Romiti serves as Founder and President of GCA1031, who specializes in helping long-term real estate investors navigate the often-overlooked side of investing: the exit. With nearly 15 years in commercial real estate underwriting and advisory, Ashley saw too many retiring landlords and business owners sitting on highly appreciated assets, facing management fatigue and major tax exposure—without fully understanding their options. She breaks down how 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) actually work, how to evaluate risk and income beyond headline returns, and how to transition from active ownership to passive income while preserving capital and deferring taxes. If you’re a seasoned investor thinking about selling, scaling back, or building a smarter long-term wealth plan, this conversation brings clarity to one of the most important (and misunderstood) decisions you’ll make.

Gil Vaisman is the founder and CEO of Go ADU Construction, a Los Angeles–based design-build firm redefining how homeowners approach Accessory Dwelling Units and garage conversions. With an unconventional background as a professional picture editor in Hollywood, Gil brings a storyteller’s attention to detail and clarity to an industry often plagued by confusion, surprise costs, and poor communication.

Passionate about solving the housing shortage and creating real value for families, Gil shares practical insights on ADU development, urban housing, and building a values-driven business rooted in trust, innovation, and integrity.
