The FasterFreedom Show Podcast

In this week’s Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam concludes breaking down his 2026 financial plans and long-term vision—this time diving into his newest company STL Reno, a renovation and rehab business built to support and scale his real estate operations. He walks through how the company started by handling internal rehab projects and gradually expanded to take on outside clients, bringing both new revenue and new complexity. You’ll hear the specific income goals for 2026, why overhead is a major consideration, and how streamlining systems and processes is the key to making the business run efficiently. Sam also explains why the company brought key trades in-house, how that decision creates leverage, and why renovation businesses often show strong top-line revenue while carrying significant expenses. This episode offers a clear, behind-the-scenes look at the realities of building a construction-based company—and how thoughtful planning turns a young operation into a sustainable one.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam and Lucas challenge one of the most common pieces of financial advice out there—that being debt-free is the ultimate goal . They break down why being completely debt-free isn’t the flex most people think it is, especially when it comes at the expense of long-term wealth building. The guys walk through the critical differences between good debt and bad debt , explaining how debt tied to depreciating consumer purchases can hold you back, while debt used to acquire cash-flowing assets can actually accelerate financial freedom. Using real estate as the core example, they explain how leverage works, why it’s been a foundational tool for wealthy investors for decades, and why owning assets that pay off your debt beats eliminating debt at all costs. They also talk through the mindset shift required to move from “debt avoidance” to intentional debt usage , and how this approach allows investors to scale faster, create optionality, and build income streams that outlive the loans attached to them. To wrap things up, Sam and Lucas switch gears and preview the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round , breaking down the matchups, key storylines, and which teams they trust to advance as the postseason heats up. From challenging conventional wisdom to playoff football, this episode blends real estate strategy, financial perspective, and the candid conversations you’ve come to expect from the show.

In this week’s Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Sam continues laying out his 2026 financial plans and long-term vision—this time focusing on his property management company Midwest Property Group and why it plays a unique role in the overall business ecosystem. He breaks down why property management is an interesting business model: lower risk, steady demand, but thinner margins—and how that reality shapes the way the company is grown. You’ll hear the specific income targets for 2026, the challenge of scaling when more doors require more manpower, and the common grow-then-stall cycle many management companies fall into. Rather than chasing aggressive expansion, Sam explains why the focus is on slow, healthy, and intentional growth—and how steady execution, operational discipline, and realistic expectations can build a durable business that compounds over time.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show , Lucas is back solo pod style (while Sam is still out sick) to break down the 4 biggest challenges newer real estate investors are facing right now —the real issues he sees come up again and again with people trying to get traction in today’s market. He starts with the foundational problem most investors never slow down to solve: not being clear on what they actually want or why they’re investing in the first place. From there, he digs into cash flow realities, cash management mistakes, and the growing feeling that many newer investors carry—that they’re somehow already behind before they’ve even really started. He then explains how these challenges compound, and more importantly, how experienced investors think and operate differently to push through them. Then the conversation shifts gears into a full NFL Playoffs preview . Lucas breaks down the matchups, storylines, and momentum heading into the postseason before locking in his Super Bowl picks and sharing which teams he trusts when it matters most. From investor mindset and money management to playoff football, this episode blends practical real estate insight with the fun, conversational sports talk that’s become a staple of the show.
