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.

Want to learn more from Jeff Charlton?

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.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Andre Galaviz, a Denver-based real estate investor, midterm rental operator, and software builder with a story that hits hard.

Andre’s real estate journey started during COVID when he realized his job might not be as safe as he thought. That fear pushed him into BiggerPockets, real estate investing, house hacking, and eventually the midterm rental space.

But this episode goes way beyond rentals.

Andre opens up about getting laid off, being diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer, and the moment life forced him to slow down and rethink everything. Instead of letting it break him, Andre used that season to get clear on family, faith, purpose, and what actually matters.

He also shares how midterm rentals helped support his family after job loss, why house hacking changed the way he looked at real estate, and how his own pain points as an operator led him to build MTRO Pro, a software platform made specifically for midterm rental operators.

This conversation covers real estate, cancer, job loss, family, mindset, software, house hacking, and rebuilding when life punches you right in the mouth.

If you’re operating midterm rentals or thinking about getting into the space, check out MTRO Pro at mtropro.com and sign up for early access or the waitlist.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show: Unscripted, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are back with another loose, real, and all-over-the-place conversation — exactly how Unscripted should be.

Ted and Owen kick things off with wedding stories, garage sale pain, anniversary chaos, and the kind of random life updates that make this show feel like a real conversation instead of a polished script.

Then the episode shifts into business, real estate, and some hard-earned lessons. Owen breaks down the frustration of having a buyer try to retrade a deal at the last minute after months of due diligence, and why operating in good faith matters more than people think. Ted shares what he’s learning from AI, how far behind he feels even while using it, and what came out of his recent blood work that may force him to rethink some everyday habits.

They also touch on upcoming Omaha REIA conversations, legal wholesaling, Berkshire weekend Airbnb hosting, and their recent interview with Andre, who found creative ways to make real estate work in a high-cost market through midterm rentals.

This episode is funny, honest, and a little chaotic — but buried inside the stories are real lessons about reputation, business, health, technology, and not being the person who blows up a deal at the finish line.

In this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Phil Henderson for a raw, honest, and powerful conversation about business, failure, family, and rebuilding your life.

Phil shares how his entrepreneurial journey started young, from music and fight wear to concrete, combat sports, trucking, and now S-Panels Omaha. But this episode goes way deeper than business. Phil opens up about the mistakes from his past, how prison became a turning point, and why he refuses to let failure define where he ends up.

From building Dynasty Concrete and Dynasty Combat Sports to working on faster, stronger, more energy-efficient housing through S-Panels Omaha, Phil’s story is about grit, discipline, second chances, and learning how to turn pain into purpose.

Ted, Owen, and Phil talk about what it really takes to run multiple businesses, why friends and family can be hard to work with, the importance of building the right team, waking up at 4 AM, letting go of control, and creating a legacy your family can be proud of.

This is one of those conversations that reminds you: your past may shape you, but it does not have to own you.

Watch or listen to the full episode now, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that failure does not get the final word.

Owen Dashner is out for this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, but Megan Ahern officially steps in as co-host alongside Ted Kaasch for another episode of The Unscripted.

And this one goes exactly where an unscripted episode should go.

Ted and Megan kick things off talking about AI-edited photos, why nobody wants to look like a fake plastic version of themselves, and how fast AI is starting to change content, marketing, and business.

Then Megan gets brutally honest about what is grinding her gears right now: real estate.

She breaks down the frustration of flipping houses in a strange market, deals falling apart, buyers backing out, financing issues, inspections dragging on, and why real estate does not feel nearly as fun as it did a few years ago.

From there, Ted and Megan go deeper into where things may be headed. They talk about AI, robotics, job disruption, business automation, old-school vehicles, overcomplicated technology, Facebook comment jail, working with visionaries, and how Megan is using AI tools to move faster inside businesses.

This episode is funny, blunt, a little chaotic, and weirdly eye-opening.

No script. No polish. Just a real conversation about real estate, AI, business, and the future that might be coming faster than most people think.

Listen now to hear Ted Kaasch and Megan Ahern talk about real estate frustration, AI taking over, business systems, and why the market feels a little drunk right now.

On this episode of The Kash and Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Dylon Leslie, a quiet but gritty investor who built his real estate portfolio the hard way.

Dylon’s story starts in small-town Nebraska, where he bought his first house at just 20 years old and used roommates to help cover the bills. What started as a simple house hack turned into a long run of creative moves, including 11 house hacks, small-town rentals, 1031 exchanges, and a jump into multifamily investing.

Dylon shares how he went from single-family homes to owning 43 doors, why he focused heavily on Council Bluffs, how he self-manages his portfolio, and what it really takes to live off rental income without a traditional job. He also talks about sleeping in his truck during a renovation, getting help from family to take down a bigger deal, learning the hard way about systems, and why grit has been the biggest factor in his growth.

This episode is a real look at the grind behind building a rental portfolio. No flashy nonsense. No fake guru talk. Just a young investor figuring it out, making mistakes, pushing through, and building something real.
