What do faith, failure, purpose, BetterLife, $25K backflows, and a rogue Instagram comment have in common?
They’re all part of how Kristi Kandel and Erik Stenbakken — two wildly different real estate investors — somehow ended up co-hosting a podcast together.
In this special behind-the-scenes episode of The Real Estate Pessimist: The Good, the Bad, and the Truth About RE Investing, we’re not talking asset classes. We’re talking soul. Calling. Alignment. And how you actually find people who get you...even if you've never met in person.
We unpack:
The real story of how Erik and Kristi met (spoiler: it started with sass).
Why having 50 doors isn’t enough if your why is broken.
The secret power of a strong buy box... for people.
Why every investor needs community — and how to build one from scratch.
Faith, integrity, generosity, and why giving now matters more than waiting for “someday.”
This one’s not about the next hot market. It’s about you — your values, your purpose, your ripple effect.
👉 So if you're chasing wealth but feel like something’s missing… this episode is your mirror.
