He calls it an expensive "seminar." In this episode, E sits down with Rod to discuss how he rebuilt his massive real estate portfolio by fundamentally changing his peer group and his mindset. Today, Rod's students own over 260,000 units, and he has fed more than 160,000 children through his Tiny Hands Foundation. He breaks down the massive demographic shift he calls the "Silver Tsunami"—why the demand for senior housing is about to explode, and how his team is acquiring assisted living facilities for $40,000 a door. He also shares a massive wake-up call regarding Artificial Intelligence, explaining exactly how his own marketing team is using Claude AI to replace 95% of their manual workload.
