The Capital Stack
It's no secret that investing in real estate is an incredible way to build life-changing, long-term wealth. You might've heard the statistic that nearly 90% of all millionaires owe a portion of their wealth to buying, selling, or holding real property. But the question is how? How do you transition from simply being interested in real estate, to owning real property as an investment? Dive into the world of real estate group investments every week with commercial real estate investor Brandon Jenkins, and learn more about how syndicators structure the capital stack to acquire deals. If you want to understand how to achieve risk-adjusted, asymmetric returns through commercial real estate investments, don't miss an episode!

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
