In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner kick things off with a hilarious story about Ted finally meeting Owen’s dad — and realizing he might actually be the coolest Dashner in the room.

From there, Ted and Owen share their wins for the week. Ted talks about coaching his daughter’s volleyball team and the pride that comes with watching kids grow, listen, and improve. Owen shares a small but satisfying win involving his daughter’s car battery problem finally getting solved after way too much frustration.

Then the conversation shifts into the real chaos of life and business.

Ted gives an update on his self-serve car wash, including broken systems, concrete problems, heated floor concerns, and the idea of turning extra space into a laundromat, ad space, or even a new revenue stream. Owen breaks down the madness of youth sports scheduling, with his daughter potentially playing across multiple softball teams and a summer calendar that basically says, “Good luck having a life.”

They also dig into a real estate situation involving a missed security deposit after closing and the frustration of dealing with an agent who didn’t step up when the issue surfaced months later.

The episode wraps with a practical Dash of Wisdom: if you are refinancing debt, don’t skip your current small or community bank. Give them a chance to compete before moving your loan elsewhere. That relationship may matter more than you think.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Jeff Charlton, founder of REI Print Mail, to talk about why direct mail is still one of the most powerful marketing tools in real estate.

Jeff has been an entrepreneur since he was 14, built a major direct mail and printing company, and has bought 27 companies over the last 25 years. But this episode is not just about postcards and mailers. It is about marketing, business, follow-up, execution, and why so many investors are quietly losing deals before they ever get a real shot at them.

Jeff breaks down why most direct mail campaigns fail, why cheap lists can cost you more money in the long run, and why investors need to stop treating mail like a one-time lottery ticket. He also explains why direct mail has a “tail,” meaning a mail piece can bring in leads months or even years after it was sent. Ted shares a real example of landing a 14-unit deal from a letter that had been sitting in a drawer for years.

Jeff will be speaking live at Omaha REIA on June 2nd. If you are local, come join us in person. If you are outside Omaha, watch the live stream on The Kash & Dash Show YouTube channel.

Jeff and his team also offer a free 15-minute call to help investors review their market, talk through direct mail strategy, and figure out where the opportunity may be.

If you are a real estate investor, business owner, wholesaler, flipper, agent, or entrepreneur trying to generate better leads, this episode is worth the listen.

This episode of The Kash & Dash Show — Unscripted with Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner is a little bit real estate, a little bit family life, and a whole lot of “this is why business is never as clean as people make it look online.”

Ted and Owen talk Mother’s Day, Father’s Day traditions, dad memories, old business cards, garage sale chaos, Goodwill debates, and the random things that make you realize life moves way too fast.

They also get into the real stuff: insurance sticker shock, commercial property expenses, car wash surprises, water heater costs, and the brutal reality that owning real estate is not always passive income. Sometimes it is just expensive problems wearing a cute little “investment property” hat.

The Golden Nugget in this episode is simple: don’t fake the rehab number. If you are an agent bringing a deal to an investor, your job is not to guess construction costs. Bring the ARV, bring the comps, bring what you can visibly see the property needs — but don’t say it needs $20,000 in repairs when it is really a $50,000 problem. Bad numbers kill credibility and can blow up a deal fast.

Ted and Owen also talk about public speaking, Toastmasters, improving as a presenter, and what it looks like when a speaker truly moves a room. Ted shares a personal moment about the passing of Kyle Loftus from 1320Video and the impact Kyle had on Omaha and beyond.
