In this episode, host Dave Dubeau chats with Tommy Hardaway, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and real estate entrepreneur who shares his journey from single-family rentals to niche commercial properties. Tommy explains how landlord struggles and lessons from his father led him to pivot toward recession-resistant assets like RV resorts and self-storage facilities.
Tommy unpacks:
-
Why he gave up on single-family homes after 20 years of landlording.
-
How self-storage offers fewer headaches and strong returns.
-
Why RV resorts surged after COVID—and how seasonal and transient guests drive income.
-
The surprising upfront cash flow from RV parks and dynamic pricing strategies.
-
How veterans can build their own retirement path through smart real estate investments.
He also gives us a peek into his own show, Adapt and Overcome, aimed at empowering fellow veterans and investors.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
