#220: Breaking the DIY Mindset: Andy Schock on Valuing Time & Scaling Smart

In this episode of REIA Radio, Andy Schock joins Owen and Ted for a raw, insightful, and often hilarious look at what it really takes to build a thriving real estate business without sacrificing your sanity—or your privacy. A self-proclaimed high-functioning introvert, Andy unpacks how understanding his personal strengths, valuing his time, and fiercely protecting his private life have shaped the way he operates in real estate and beyond.

From his early days in event planning to learning the hard (and expensive) lessons of his first flip, Andy walks us through his evolution as a real estate investor. He talks about hiring the right people, outsourcing $10 tasks to focus on $10,000 work, and the launch of Blue Tape Solutions—a new company idea aimed at solving investor headaches with punch-list repairs.

The episode also touches on the bigger picture: how AI is reshaping job markets, why intentional living matters, and what it means to leave behind a legacy not just in business, but with your family.

If this episode gave you something to think about (or at least made you laugh), don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with a friend, drop us a five-star review, and help us keep bringing you real, unfiltered content from the front lines of real estate investing.
