• How I Made $1M the Day I Bought My House

  Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and business partner, Joey Sacavitch—co-founder of Forward One Real Estate—as he interviews me about one of the most profitable real estate moves I’ve ever made. I break down how I made a million dollars the day I bought my house—not years later when the market went up, but right at the closing table. I walk you through how to identify undervalued properties even in a red-hot market, and why the properties that scare most buyers away are often the ones with the most hidden value. I share the exact defects that helped me land the deal, how I fixed them without breaking the bank, and the mindset shift that separates smart investors from emotional ones. If you’ve ever wondered how to spot opportunity where others see problems, this episode will give you a clear, strategic lens for turning real estate challenges into serious equity.

• How Investors Are Cashing In on New Zoning Laws

  Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with developer and contractor Adam O’Neill to uncover the untapped opportunities hiding in plain sight for real estate investors—opportunities most people overlook because they fear the complexity of entitlements, zoning, and development approvals. Adam reveals how recent policy shifts in California have transformed the playing field, creating new “by-right” development paths that strip away many of the political and bureaucratic roadblocks that used to stall projects. We explore how to identify progressive cities with high housing demand, spot parcels with hidden potential, and use strategic relationships to turn local knowledge into extraordinary value. You’ll also hear how creativity, curiosity, and calculated risk can open doors to projects with outsized returns, even for those who aren’t seasoned developers. If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate high-barrier markets or turn regulatory changes into profitable advantages, this conversation will change how you think about growth in real estate.

• Architect Reveals How to Max Out the Value of Your Home

  Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with architect John Umbanhowar to uncover how truly intentional design can elevate not just your living space, but the entire value of your real estate investment. We talk about why working with an architect first — not last — can dramatically improve your ROI, and how the smartest investors are using design to unlock hidden potential in their properties. John shares powerful examples of zoning strategies, the psychology behind design choices, and even a few ideas that defy common sense — like why adding a courtyard might yield more return than another bedroom. Whether you're developing, renovating, or simply planning your next move, this conversation will challenge the way you think about space, strategy, and long-term value.
