Been following you for Twitter in years. Cool seeing you pop up for a CEO I searched

Amazing interview

Chris, great job as usual getting him to talk about his journey. He obviously thought you’d be firing off business-related questions but the personal and historical side of these high achievers are a big reason why I tune in.

Hey Mike, Jeff here. The guy that gave you your first million dollar month. Out of sandy,Utah. The guy the blended it! You and jack fry asked how and asked what I want. I said money. You fired me!?!?!? I’ll name pointless employees at vortex in sandy,Utah. #1shawn yoshita. #2patrick Christensen #scott Peterson. Worthless company to work for in Utah. Unless you are involved in or open to Mormonism. Me myself had to work by myself on Christmas Eve because these said higher ups had families. Like I didn’t. Or I’d be fired. Ultimately I quit because they “Johnathan”gave me an ultimatum to take a drug test. Which I don’t do drugs. I drink sure. But it was an ambush. Fuck this company. It’s based on nepotism and money. Scott Peterson is the only reason this company is alive. But still it’s nepotism and ridiculous

😊

Investing in energy can provide great tax benefits. Using FieldVest, you can easily find the best projects to maximize these advantages. It’s a simple way to connect with top opportunities and save on taxes.

On greenmailing: My understanding is the tax laws were changed in the late 80s. So it would be something like a huge excise tax for greenmail. also corporate governance rules likely since changed to prevent one (temporary) shareholder given preferential treatment over the others.

Loved the episode! When The Fort releases a new pod, I pause everything and anything I'm doing and turn it on!

Amazing content, thanks!

Another unbelievably informational episode.

10/10!!

Thanks for another awesome episode! Obviously plenty to be said about living through the GFC. Probably a mix of hindsight and some obvious opportunities back then, given so many distressed assets and most people simply not having idle cash.

So much to learn here

one of the smartest RE guys in the country

Just wanted to thank you Chris and a huge thanks to Barry...such a great interview. Invaluable perspective and so many great lessons. My father Leo Heile was SVP of ITT and a brilliant guy (physics major/quant) running $25B for ITT (heard some funny Rand stories)...and before he passed in '02 I asked him if there was any advice he wanted to pass on to the grandkids and he thought for a few minutes (long time for him) and replied 'Yes...always challenge your assumptions, because you're usually wrong. And if you get enough smart people in a room and you all think that way you'll probably arrive at the best solution". Same wisdom Barry is sharing from a lifetime of hits and misses. Such a great perspective, and kudos to him for sharing it so openly and honestly. I hope he writes that book...and ends up in a position to influence public policy at some point. His take on American politics is spot on and his ability to distill the basics of fiscal policy down to a almost a kindergarten level (which is necessary today) is a true gift. Stacking a cabinet with a critical mass of experienced and successful businesses people from various mission critical sectors of the private sector (not just Wall Street) is the only hope we have for righting the ship. That and solving the problem of the corrupting influence of money in politics...haha. Hope to God we eventually get to vote for an independent candidate willing to do both, and Barry is a part of that team.

Chris - the loud swallow sounds on your podcasts get me every time lol

Hey Chris, I just wanted to comment on how well of a interviewer you are. I was just impressed at how matter of fact & well you transitioned each section with well asked questions or topics. Interviewers can be very vague or boundary-less with their questions and it lead to the interviewees sometimes not always answering the question in a particular thought realm. Thank you so much for phrasing good questions, so I could learn more about Jamie’s ideas!

Great show Chris, 🙌 i like that guy he has great insight. How would i get in contact with him?

Shortage or housing is the biggest problem in Ireland yet they are importing poor people who refuse to assimilate and they are giving those people housing. Wake up before your bloodline disappears for ever.

It is kinda boring listening to people talk about empty lots... fences, paving and lighting.

"I'm not good at taking instruction" as an entrepreneur I think we can all say that!!! lol Another great interview.

What an amazing gentleman! Knows all of his stuff and has forgot more about real estate than I will ever know. Another great interview!

Awesome

Why the name

Just listened for a 2nd time. So good

I met Don Zale in the UK when they had stores here. Such a humble marvellous gentleman I would love to speak with him again. He told me something then that was positive and influenced my life and I use it still today. Thank you Donald Zale.

amazing pod. Nancy is badass

Great episode tons of gold from a good person

inspirational video!

What a great interview! Love hearing the real stories.

Best business podcast I have ever been able to watch, thank you so much for sharing.

love the podcast and this is an interesting business model... suggestion: I would be nice if they can talk about returns... as it would be nice to know what extra premium one can earn with this approach (if any)

Thank you!

Who is the guy on the right?

I got a lot of value from this video. I’m piecing together a build to suit hotel deal (my first)

Never tuned into this podcast before but the first 30 seconds has me hooked!

All about opening doors

Very cool story.

Many lessons. Thank you

What is the fascination with this guy?

Thanks for the video!

I get held up on "We had no money" then proceed to buy real estate in cash.

Amazing.

Herb is a stud. Love his reaction and his openness to share details. Great interviewing from your end Chris. Keep it up!

Casey spent some time with me on the phone and gave some great advice! I do wish he would have explained how the sellers of seller financing saves money in a better/more detailed way. Also curious his portfolio size and net worth. Not that it’s anyone’s business but is he doing this on a small scale or are these strategies working for him on big deals where he is making multiple 100k to million plus on these deals. Can’t wait to keep learning from both of you.

Casey is the man! Great episode Chris

Can you talk about , Cenovous purchase of Irving oil ?

Just pure Gems!!

This guy comes across so genuine. He's not playing word game, give straight answers and that is so refreshing. this is why ur pod sticks out. you get real people not the flash and buzz words guys.
