Today is just going to be a short talk to give some follow up on my health following the last episode. I also wanted to spend some time talking about a new podcast that I have started, "Exploring Tampa Florida and Beyond", and why I felt like I needed to start that podcast now.

In this completely unedited episode, I am going to discuss some intense personal challenges I have been facing since the last episode, as well as my mindset to learn and grow from them going forward. Also, I spend a good chunk of the show talking about my personal experiences with God, and what I feel I need to take away as a result of them.

The things in my home will be shipped to Florida next week, and my home will be going on the market. I'm going to stay behind for about a month, and then I'll be heading out. With that in mind, I wanted to take this episode to talk about the top ten things I will miss about California, and five things that I definitely won't.

In today's episode, we jump back into the coronavirus discussion. I'll give an update on two protests which I have attended, and talk about how one of them was totally misrepresented by both sides of the debate. We will discuss a ton of things not getting much attention, that really make you question the narrative being pushed by the mainstream media. We will talk shelter in place orders, flattening the curve, hospitals going broke, fake news, censorship, and so many things that just don't seem to make any sense whatsoever. Then we will hop into some common conspiracy theories surrounding this pandemic.

BYC #41 – Coronavirus Conspiracies

On October 18, 2019, several high up officials got together for an exercise that simulated a coronavirus pandemic, which was spreading around the world with a possibility of killing 100-200 million people. Two and a half months later, the real virus erupted in China. Today we will take a deep dive into what was covered, as well as take a look at the question, "Was it a complete coincidence, or could it have been a dry run for a planned event?"

We are living in times that are full of fear and anxiety for many right now. While we are focusing so intently on the enemy in front of us, there just may be the world's biggest heist going on right behind our backs. Maybe we need to take our eyes off the enemy in front for a moment and turn around, before the bigger threat whacks us in the back of the head. Today I am going to share a story full of information that you will likely never hear in the mainstream news. I'm not telling anyone to drop their guard completely with regard to either opponent. I hope to only to get you thinking...

A couple weeks ago my daughter and I set out to explore different places in Florida to see if it was a place she might want to live. We walked on heavenly beaches in Clearwater, failed a Forest Gump quiz miserably in Daytona, drove through some neighborhoods that were awesome, and some that were not. We had a surprise meetup in Orlando, went on an alligator hunt in Myakka, flew through Pandora on a banshee, watched the perfect sunset in Venice, and found ourselves amidst a surprise drag show during an amazing lunch on Tampa Bay. Today I’m going to take you along for a recap of sorts, and share some stories while giving you some good information about the state and areas within it.

This month I'm bringing you a special episode with my friend Rob. His story is so awesome that I just had to bring it to you. I've listened to many stories of people who have gained financial independence through investment real estate and then pursued things they have always wanted to do. I've never heard of anyone leveraging their primary residence to do the same. Rob was able to use his primary residence to not only quit his job but also fund over a year of amazing travel experiences.

This month's show spends some time catching up on a personal level. I kind of do a "year in review" of all of our challenges and successes in 2017, and then I talk about plans for the coming year ahead. I also spend some time talking about my challenges in real estate, and looking back at the lessons I have learned with regards to successfully managing rental properties.
