In this short interview, John Jasniak, described as a top 1% performer in his field, shares insights into what separates him from others in the real estate and land development industry. His defining trait is an extreme attention to detail, which he believes is critical for success. Unlike many developers who delegate operations or technical details, John stays hands-on in every part of the process, from drilling water wells to ensuring roads are built to spec. When asked about scaling without losing quality, John emphasizes the importance of hiring trusted, full-time, U.S.-based employees instead of relying on virtual assistants. He believes proximity and accountability are essential for maintaining the same level of precision as a company grows. Finally, John discusses the biggest risk of his career, taking on a $1.2 million seller-financed land deal when his company was worth only $2–3 million. The debt represented about half his net worth at the time, but he went for it despite the fear. That bold move on a 465-acre West Texas subdivision became a pivotal growth moment for his business. Key Highlight Points:- Attention to detail is everything: John’s success comes from being deeply involved in every operational aspect.- Hands-on leadership: He doesn’t delegate critical tasks too early or rely heavily on automation or VAs.- Scaling smartly: Growth doesn’t mean detachment, he trains and hires full-time, local employees who share his standard of excellence.- Calculated risk-taking: His biggest professional leap involved carrying $1.2M in seller-financed debt, about half his net worth, showing courage and conviction in his projects.- Mindset of excellence: John embodies the belief that mastery comes from ownership of details, disciplined scaling, and bold but thoughtful risk.

He reflects on overcoming imposter syndrome, the importance of meeting people, and why he never wants to retire because he loves what he does. Michael opens up about raising the bar in life through health and proactivity, making and losing millions through real estate and tokenized investments, and the power of experience (“reps”) in mastering his craft. He identifies having children as the greatest risk he ever took, ultimately the most rewarding decision of his life, and encourages others to do the same.   Links to watch and subscribe:   Highlight Points:- Parallel Universe Path: Almost became a Lutheran pastor but Greek and Hebrew studies convinced him otherwise.- Superpower: Calls “laziness” his superpower, helping him simplify and focus.- Limiting Belief: Struggled with imposter syndrome but overcame it by forcing himself into conversations and networking.- Never Retiring: Loves what he does, especially meeting fascinating people worldwide; finds retirement unnecessary.- Raising the Bar: Prioritizing health and proactivity, reducing procrastination, preparing for business obligations (like taxes).- First Million: Made through redeveloping a value-add shopping center.- Last Million: Through tokenized private investments (on paper, pending full realization).- Next Million: Likely from tokenized companies, including a promising advisory role with Proximal, a data security/AI company.- Top 1% Edge: Built from decades of “reps” in commercial real estate; can instantly assess deals and advise startups beyond real estate (marketing, insurance, legal, etc.).- Biggest Risk: Marriage and having children—initially intimidating but ultimately the most rewarding and joyful part of life.- Advice on Family: Encourages others to take the “risk” of children, noting that God provides and it enriches life.   Links from the Show and Guest Info and Links:   Seth Bradley’s Links:https://x.com/sethbradleyesq https://www.youtube.com/@sethbradleyesq www.facebook.com/sethbradleyesq https://www.threads.com/@sethbradleyesq https://www.instagram.com/sethbradleyesq/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethbradleyesq/ https://passiveincomeattorney.com/seth-bradley/ https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/sethbradleyesq https://medium.com/@sethbradleyes https://www.tiktok.com/@sethbradleyesq?lang=en   Michael Flight’s Links:https://www.instagram.com/mjflight1/?hl=en&utm https://www.facebook.com/michael.flight.9/?utm https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-flight/?ut  

Michael shared that his success in commercial real estate stems from decades of consistent “reps” — experience gained through countless deals, leases, and relationships since 1986. That repetition allows him to instantly evaluate properties and markets with precision. His diverse background across nonprofits, advisory boards, and marketing gives him a broad business perspective, while his long-term relationships with national tenants help him quickly optimize deals. He emphasized that true mastery comes from experience and pattern recognition, not shortcuts. Discussing risk, he admitted to both bold moves and periods of over-caution, ultimately saying his biggest and best “risk” was getting married and having kids. Faith, family, and legacy drive his outlook — believing that population growth, family stability, and trust in God are essential for both personal fulfillment and a healthy economy.   Bullet key highlight: - Success comes from decades of reps and consistency, not shortcuts. - Experience allows him to instantly analyze any commercial property based on surroundings. - Strong tenant relationships give him leverage to raise income and cut expenses quickly. - His work on nonprofit boards and advisory roles expanded his knowledge of marketing, insurance, and compliance. - Both he and Seth agree that pattern recognition from experience separates top performers from the rest. - Retail real estate demands understanding each tenant’s business model, unlike other asset classes. - Michael views risk-taking as essential to reaching the top 1%, even when others see it as reckless. - He admits that at times he’s been too cautious, sitting out while markets kept climbing. - His greatest and most rewarding risk was starting a family — marriage and children. - He believes faith, family, and population growth are vital for personal joy and a thriving economy.   Links from the Show and Guest Info and Links:Seth Bradley’s Links:https://x.com/sethbradleyesqhttps://www.youtube.com/@sethbradleyesqwww.facebook.com/sethbradleyesqhttps://www.threads.com/@sethbradleyesqhttps://www.instagram.com/sethbradleyesq/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethbradleyesq/https://passiveincomeattorney.com/seth-bradley/https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/sethbradleyesqhttps://medium.com/@sethbradleyesqhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sethbradleyesq?lang=en   Michael Flight’s Links:https://www.instagram.com/mjflight1/?hl=en&utmhttps://www.facebook.com/michael.flight.9/?utmhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-flight/?utm

Title: The 1% Closer With Sandhya SeshadriSummary: In this short exchange between Seth Bradley and Sandhya Seshadri, Seth asks what separates Sandhya as a top 1% performer. Sandhya shares that her resilience and fearlessness stem from humble beginnings — arriving with almost nothing, living frugally, and learning to rebuild from scratch. She attributes her success to persistence, adaptability, and surrounding herself with positive energy. Sandhya emphasizes removing negativity, outsourcing low-value tasks, and maintaining the determination to find a way forward no matter what. Bullet Points Highlight: Came to the country with only two suitcases and $8 per week for food. Not afraid of failure or starting over — knows exactly how to rebuild from scratch. Maintains low expenses and simple living (still drives an 11-year-old car). Values persistence and finding a way forward no matter what. If one route fails, takes another — “go off-road and make your own trail.” Believes success leaves clues — find someone who’s done it before and follow their path. Never gives up — persistence and consistency drive results. Removes naysayers and negative influences from life. Outsources draining tasks and avoids time-wasting relationships. Focuses on protecting energy and replacing negativity with productive, positive people.   Transcript: Speaker 2 (00:00.174)You're clearly in the top 1 % of what you do. What is it about you that separates you from the rest of the field? I'm not afraid of failing and starting from scratch because I came here with nothing. I came here with two suitcases. Eight dollars a week was my food budget. I know exactly what I need to cut back if I was to lose everything and start over again. And I still drive an 11 year old car. I don't have fancy, fancy expenses other than the need to travel for which I'll always find a way. So that's the other thing is persistence. and always finding a way to get there. So if path one fails, you know, go off road and find your own trail to get to that destination. Don't give up. There's somebody has done it before you. Just go find that person and follow their footsteps. Is there any other mindset or habit you think that puts you in that top 1 % of performers in the field? Never give up and delete the naysayers from your life. Sometimes it's like just freeing up your time from all the people that drain you and the tasks that drain you. So outsource the tasks, get rid of the people. Just be busy when they want to get together with you and replace them with somebody else and just that energy shift can make such a big difference. Speaker 2 (01:19.662)Thank you so much.

She began in corporate tech with an Electrical Engineering degree and an MBA, then pivoted to real estate — and now oil & gas. Sandhya Seshadri explains why she focuses on pre-drilled, proven wells for stronger cash flow and tax advantages, how she underwrites energy deals (breakevens, operator scale, transparency), and why trust and education win in capital raising. We cover temporary GP elections for year-one tax treatment, modeling crude-price scenarios, and how to speak to LP risk honestly.

All right, kiddos, let's talk about taxes, baby. Boring to some, but not to us. We're highly paid professionals and we've worked damn hard to get where we are. We make this economy spin round and round, but what's the reward? We bear the biggest tax burden. Highly paid W-2s hit the hardest with taxes because...   Well, that's just the way that our beautiful system is set up. On the other side of the tax spectrum though, are investors and entrepreneurs. Now you might be asking yourself, you know, why is that? Because that's the beautiful system that we have set up and it's just set up to incentivize certain behaviors that the government deems the most important things like energy.   things like entrepreneurship, things like housing or real estate. See, when we invest in alternative assets like businesses, energy and real estate, we are working with Uncle Sam, not against him. He becomes our friend rather than our foe. Notice that I did not mention stocks, bonds and mutual funds in that category, in those categories of things. Those traditional investments are not tax incentivized unless you lock them away in a retirement account.   which you can't access without penalties until you're gray. So how do we as attorneys, doctors, engineers, the friend, Uncle Sam, you got it. We just said it. You jump into tax incentivize alternative investments, but there are other tools in your arsenal as well. That's not the only game in town. You can stack these things. Have your other half become a real estate professional and we'll dive what that is into later.   Seth Bradley (02:30.926) Now your passive losses can offset your active income. Set up a tax sheltered infinite banking policy. You still have access to your capital. Plus you accrue compounding tax free interest. So your money works in two places, at least in two places at once. Saving is for losers. Lazy money disappears, especially in a hyperinflationary env

Title: Build a Bigger Life, Not a Bigger Lifestyle: The Real Path to Freedom with Adam CarollSummary: In this episode of Raise the Bar Radio, guest (Adam Carroll) shares his journey from a traveling professional speaker to building sustainable wealth through passive income strategies. After realizing the limitations of trading time for money, Adam developed The Shred Method, a cashflow reorientation system that minimizes debt interest and frees up capital to build liquidity and invest. By leveraging lines of credit and algorithm-driven cash deployment, individuals can rapidly pay down debts and reallocate savings into passive income streams like real estate syndications, intellectual property, and other alternative investments. Adam stresses that most high-income earners don’t have an income problem - they have a liquidity problem tied up in low-access retirement plans and excessive spending. Finally, he expands on his philosophy of "building a bigger life, not a bigger lifestyle," urging professionals to align spending and time with their values to achieve fulfillment and financial freedom within 10 years.

Adam shifted from paid speaking gigs to building passive income streams for true freedom. The Shred Method minimizes interest expenses. By using cashflow more efficiently through lines of credit and optimized algorithms, debt is paid down faster, freeing liquidity for investing. Passive income is key to wealth. Adam focuses on real estate syndications, ATM tranches, intellectual property, and digital products to generate consistent, diversified passive cash flow. Most people have a liquidity problem, not an income problem. Money is often locked in 401(k)s or spent wastefully — instead, creating accessible liquidity allows for opportunity-based investing. Building a bigger life requires intentionality. Aligning spending and actions with core values (like family, freedom, growth) leads to fulfillment — not just more stuff. The game becomes fun. Once passive income starts flowing, investing becomes strategic, diversified, and compounding — eventually replacing active income and creating financial independence. Anyone can implement this. While you can DIY, Adam recommends coaching to fast-track understanding and execution of the Shred Method. Transcript: (Seth Bradley) (00:02.094) What's up, Builders?

Had the opportunity to do a couple of international gigs, which was a blast. And in the midst of all that, making my living as a professional speaker, I realized that if I was very similar to your audience, if I wasn't doing the deal, doing the gig, doing the engagement, I wasn't getting paid.   (Adam Carroll) (01:26.184) And so a mentor of mine said, the goal is not to go to work and get paid.

Title: Inside the Secret Network That Billionaires Use to Pay Zero In Taxes with Alex SonkinSummary: In this episode of Raise the Bar Radio, Seth Bradley welcomes Alex, founder of the Due Diligence Project, to discuss the massive blind spot in tax strategy among CPAs and how his peer-reviewed CPA community solves that. Alex shares how traditional CPA firms, despite servicing ultra-high net worth clients, are often unaware of the vast number of advanced tax mitigation strategies available. His platform introduces vetted tax strategies reviewed by hundreds of independent CPA firms, much like an Amazon or Netflix model for financial services. Rather than relying on static, siloed in-house teams with mediocre solutions, Alex's vision is to empower CPAs and family offices through a Virtual Family Office model. This allows affluent individuals (not just billionaires) to access world-class, peer-reviewed tax and financial planning strategies while maintaining their trusted CPA relationship. The conversation emphasizes humility, proactive due diligence, and massive action as critical principles for success in tax planning and entrepreneurship alike.Links to Watch and Subscribe:https://youtu.be/v8RSrMRslHU Bullet Point Highlights: Most CPAs, even in top firms, are not deeply versed in advanced tax mitigation due to limited time and exposure. The Due Diligence Project functions as an independent, peer-reviewed network, allowing CPAs to tap into the collective knowledge of hundreds of top professionals. Traditional large CPA firms and Wall Street structures are siloed and don't provide open-source best-in-class strategies. The future CPA firm is a Virtual Family Office — proactive, advisory-driven, and built with world-class independent specialists instead of static in-house teams. The Virtual Family Office model brings elite wealth management strategies to affluent individuals (e.g., $10M-$50M net worth), not just billionaires. Humility, curiosity, and willingness to collaborate are essential for CPAs and advisors to truly serve clients at the highest level. Success requires massive action and consistent pursuit of better solutions — complacency kills innovation and wealth creation. Transcript: (Seth Bradley) (00:02.094) What's up, Builders?

Due diligence is crucial when vetting syndication sponsors and deals. Understanding the underwriting process is essential for passive investors.

Passive income allows for a lifestyle centered around family and personal interests. Transcript: Seth Bradley (00:10.188) What's going on, law nation? Welcome to the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, your favorite place for learning about the world of alternative passive investments so that you can practice when you want to and not because you have to. Now, if you're ready to kick that billable out of the curb, start by going to attorneybydesign.com to download the Freedom Blueprint, which will also get you access to partner with us on one of our next passive real estate investments. All right, let's talk about   the highest and best use of your time. We've talked about active versus passive income and for good reason, they are completely different. They're on opposite sides of the spectrum. When we talk about active income, we're talking about your job as an attorney, as a doctor or a business owner, where you trade your time in for money out. Depending on your skill set, background, education, work ethic, et cetera,   You know, this could be a great use of your time or it could be a terrible one. But when most people think about getting into real estate investing, they're torn. Should you do a fix and flip like you saw on HGTV? Should you invest in a REIT like your financial advisor and Charles Schwab told you to do? Should you buy a single family rental or invest in a syndication? There are endless options so I can understand why it's so confusing. Well, start with this.   ask yourself, what's the highest and best use of my time? If you're thinking about doing an HGTV fix and flip and your partner at a big law firm, for example, is that flip really the best use of your time? And don't be mistaken, a flip is transactional and it is active. So will you make more per hour on that fix and flip than you would at your job?   After you factor in the learning curve, the deal sourcing, the headaches, what it takes away from your job and everything else, it's not even close. Unless you truly love doing it, which some people do, it just doesn't make sense for high income earners. You should be focusing on transforming the income you earn actively into passive income streams. At different levels on the passive scale, that could very well be a single family rental or an Airbnb.   Seth Bradley (02:34.26) or could be passive investments into commercial syndications. But if you truly want to obtain financ

Title: How to Quit Your W-2 and Never Look Back with Jamie Bateman Summary: In this episode of Raise the Bar Radio, Seth Bradley welcomes Jamie, a military veteran turned real estate and mortgage note investor, who shares his story of transitioning from a W-2 career into entrepreneurship and financial freedom. Jamie discusses the phases of his life, including collegiate sports, military service, and a long stint at the Department of Defense before pivoting to real estate and eventually mortgage note investing. He emphasizes how discipline shaped his journey and how shifting mindset, focusing on strengths, and leveraging his network were key to taking ownership of his life and finances. Jamie also dives deep into the mortgage note investing space, explaining how performing and non-performing notes work, the active nature of the business, and how he now offers passive investment opportunities for accredited investors. He closes by highlighting the importance of planning with intention, overcoming perfectionism, and using passive income to create margin and freedom in life. Links to Watch and Subscribe: https://youtu.be/nRyX8_YA9YI Bullet Point Highlights: Discipline builds freedom - Sports, military, and entrepreneurship all instilled the value of discipline, which Jamie says is critical for success and freedom. W-2 life wasn’t the path - Jamie recognized through his commute and stagnant career trajectory that he didn’t want to follow the traditional path, sparking his exit plan. Mindset shift was essential - He stopped consuming negative news and started focusing on education and his strengths to shift into entrepreneurship. Mortgage note investing explained - Performing notes offer cash flow while non-performing notes offer the chance to add value, akin to fix and flips. However, both are active businesses, not passive. Passive income fuels risk-taking - Creating passive income streams allowed Jamie to take entrepreneurial risks while maintaining financial security. Action beats perfection - As an entrepreneur, chasing perfection isn’t practical. Done is better than perfect. Reverse planning drives clarity - Backwards planning from a vivid vision 3-5 years into the future increases urgency and helps set clear, intentional actions. Final advice - Start by investing passively to learn, and later you can decide whether to become active. Don't underestimate the transferable skills you already possess.

All right, today, let's talk about diversification in a particular way though. Let's talk about the different ways that you can make money. There are so many different ways. Unfortunately, for most of us, we have it in our heads that there's only one way. For my attorneys out there, well,   We just do our attorney thing and that's how we get paid. We have one stream of income, one active stream. Maybe we save for retirement through a 401k or we buy some stocks and bonds or play around on Robinhood or something like that. But we don't think about all the other ways that we can make money. If you've listened to my show before, I've had so many attorneys on here that have leveraged their knowledge, their background, their experience, their education as an attorney.   to catapult them in other aspects of life, in other avenues of business so that they can create multiple streams of income, whether that's through starting a side business, a side hustle, which eventually might become their full-time hustle or investing in real estate, both passively and or actively. There are so many different ways to make money, but there's more ways than just the things that we've talked about so far. There are so many different ways and there's no magic pill.   Right now we talk about syndications a lot on this show, but it's not a magic pill. I'm not preaching to you and telling you if you don't invest in a syndication or invest in syndications, then you're not going to become wealthy or that investing in real estate is the only way to become wealthy. It's not, it's a tried and proven way to become wealthy. And it's my favorite way and a lot of my guests favorite way,

Title: Reg D 506(b) vs 506(c) – Which One Makes You More Money?  Summary: In this informative video, securities attorney and real estate investor Seth Bradley discusses the key differences between Regulation D’s 506(b) and 506© exemptions and their implications for capital raising in real estate. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these distinctions to maximize fundraising opportunities while remaining compliant with SEC regulations. Bradley explains that both exemptions allow for raising funds without registering as public securities but come with different rules regarding investor eligibility and solicitation. The 506(b) exemption relies on pre-existing relationships and allows for non-accredited investors, but does not permit advertising or solicitation. In contrast, 506© offers full advertising capabilities but limits participation to accredited investors only. Bradley concludes by stressing that selecting the incorrect exemption can lead to potential legal issues and missed financial opportunities, encouraging viewers to carefully analyze their business model before choosing an exemption.

Advertising Freedom with 506©: Enables widespread advertising and solicitation, but limits participants to accredited investors only. Investor Credibility: Verification of accredited investor status is mandatory in 506© to ensure compliance with SEC regulations. Financial Implications: Understanding each exemption is crucial for maximizing fundraising and minimizing legal risks. Legal Compliance: Choosing the wrong exemption can result in SEC violations and significantly limit fundraising capabilities. Strategic Decision-Making: Investors should align their exemption choice with their business model to ensure optimal capital raising. Transcript: (Seth Bradley) regggd 506b versus 506 C. Which one makes you more money? You're about to raise capital for your next real estate deal and someone tells you just file under regggd 506b or 506. But hold up, is that actually the best way to maximize your raise or are you leaving money on the table? Today, I'm breaking down the real difference between 506b and 506 C. And more importantly, which one will put the most money in your pocket as a capital raiser, while I'm keeping you, of course, out of trouble with the SEC. Real quick, if you don't   know me, I'm Seth Bradley, securities attorney, real estate investor, capital raiser. I'm here to show you how to scale your business while staying compliant and out of the SEC's purview. Let's get it. All right. First, the basics of regggd. what you need to know. All right, let's keep this simple. Both 506b and 506 C fall under what's called regulation D, which is an SEC exemption that allows you to raise money for private investors without registering it as a public security. This is why syndicators, fund managers, capital   raisers, we all love it. It's faster, it's cheaper, and doesn't require SEC approval before you start raising capital. But here's where most people get confused. These two exemptions are not the same, and picking the wrong one can limit your ability to raise capital or even get you into legal trouble. So, let's figure this thing out together. Next, let's go through 506b first. It's the old school relationshipbased method. So, 506b, it's the old school country club method of raising capital. It allows you to bring in up to 35   nonacredited investors. That's significant. But here's the catch. You cannot advertise. you cannot solicit. So that means no Facebook ads, Instagram posts, no blastin
