I’d like to introduce Rachael Schwalenberg to the Landlord Profitability Playbook Podcast.Last summer I was listening to the Evernest Real Estate Investor podcast while on the bike path and the guest that day was Rachael Schwalenberg of Columbus, Ohio.Now I listen to a lot of podcasts and I am not easily impressed but Rachael was amazing. She clearly knew the Columbus market inside and out. It was not a ‘rah-rah’ perspective either. It was nuanced, thoughtful, and in my opinion absolutely accurate.As soon as I got home I got on the Google machine and tracked her down, sent her an email, and we have been friends and referral partners ever since.Rachael’s years of experience in the Columbus market as a Realtor, property manager, broker owner, entrepreneur, and investor make her an invaluable resource to our listeners on The Landlord Profitability Playbook podcast as well as our listeners on our sister podcast Connect Practice Track & Grow for real estate professionals.When it's time to expand your empire, Rachael is the professional you want to work with.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
