Real People, Real Life and
Everything in Between!

Saving for college savings is tough, but what if a tenant paid the bill for you? Pete Heim walks us through a smarter strategy.

Saving enough for higher education feels like an impossible climb, especially for larger families. Pete Heim joins the show to discuss a practical method for coaching young couples on how to use rental income to cover these costs. We break down why this is a valid approach and how it shifts the burden of tuition from your personal savings to an asset that works for you.

This conversation is for anyone feeling the pressure of future tuition bills and looking for creative ways to fund them. We look at real estate investing as a tool for long-term family planning rather than just a side hustle. By treating property investment as a dedicated fund for your children, you can build equity while securing their future, turning a difficult financial goal into an achievable reality.

If this strategy helps you rethink your financial planning, subscribe for more breakdowns and leave a comment on what topic we should cover next.

The National Real Estate News loves a simple storyline, but your local market does not live in a headline. We sit down with Pete Heim for a Local and National Real Estate Update and get specific about what’s actually happening on the ground: mortgage rates hovering around the mid-6% range, inventory sitting in the mid-500s, and why a few extra listings can change negotiating power without suddenly “crashing” prices. We also dig into the stats that matter for buyers and sellers, including average sale price (about $338K year to date), days on market (around 23), and what a 1.3-month absorption rate signals.

Then we tackle a hot claim we keep hearing online: renting is better than owning. We separate “sometimes renting is the only move right now” from “renting is the smarter wealth strategy,” and we walk through the real-world math that gets overlooked, including tax treatment, appreciation, and why building home equity often drives long-term net worth. If you’re weighing a purchase or trying to make peace with your timing, this part will help you think clearly.

We also raise a big red flag for condo buyers and HOA shoppers: reserve studies and capital reserve funding. After major building failures, many associations are being forced into overdue repairs, which can mean special assessments and higher quarterly fees. We close with two actionable angles: asking about FHA and VA assumable mortgages to capture older low rates on existing loan balances, and shopping your home and auto insurance again now that competition is shifting.

If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s house-hunting, and leave a quick review so more local buyers and sellers can find the show.

Paying rent? You're also paying taxes on that money. Buying a home offers a tax advantage: mortgage interest is deductible, significantly reducing your tax burden compared to rent. Own your future, pay yourself. #RealEstate #Homeownership #TaxTips #FinancialFreedom #Investing

Years of reported structural issues were ignored, leading to a catastrophic condo collapse. Now, new state laws mandate reserve studies to prevent future disasters. #CondoSafety #BuildingCollapse #LegalUpdate #ConstructionSafety

Your kid denies what you just watched happen and you can feel your blood pressure rise. That moment is where good intentions go to die, and it is exactly where Josh Davis shows us how to slow down without becoming passive. Josh is a dad of three with a PhD in psychology and neuroscience, and he translates NLP (neurolinguistic programming) into simple, usable tools for parenting, marriage, and everyday communication.

We dig into what NLP actually is, why it came out of outcome oriented psychotherapy, and how it turns “be a better parent” into skills you can practice. Josh shares a real at home example of pacing and leading during kid chaos, plus the small language shifts that help children regulate and reconnect instead of doubling down. If you want practical dad advice that works in the kitchen, the backyard, and the car ride, this conversation stays grounded and specific.

Then we workshop a common trigger: lying right to your face. Josh walks us through “Just the Facts,” a fast emotional regulation tool that separates what happened from the story we add on top, like mind reading and future catastrophizing. We also cover stronger follow up questions for kids and how to disagree with your spouse without undermining her by focusing on what problem she is trying to solve.

If you want better family communication, calmer discipline, and a stronger partnership at home, listen through and try one tool this week. Subscribe, share this with a dad who needs it, and leave a review with the trigger you want us to tackle next.

This episode of The Brad Weisman show explores the human tendency to cast others as villains during heated moments. When we hear phrases like he did it or he is mean, our natural instinct is to defend or attack. By applying better communication skills, you can navigate these tense interactions without fueling the fire of defensiveness.

We break down why nobody wants to be the bad guy and how shifting your mindset changes the outcome of any argument. You will learn practical strategies for conflict resolution that focus on empathy rather than accusation. If you are tired of getting caught in cycles of blame, this discussion offers a fresh way to approach your personal and professional relationships.

300 Episodes sounds like a number until you remember what it’s made of: planning, recording, editing, guest scheduling, showing up on the weeks you feel inspired and the weeks you don’t. Brad and Hugo mark the milestone with a behind-the-scenes conversation about how The Brad Weisman Show started in the early COVID days and why it evolved from a real estate podcast into something bigger: leadership, curiosity, thought leadership, and real stories from real people. Along the way, they get surprise call-ins from family and friends, which turns the celebration into a reminder that community is the real fuel.

They unpack podcast statistics that should wake up any creator, like how many shows quit around episode seven and how short the median podcast lifespan can be. Then they get practical: picking a sustainable release schedule, using “regular” guests to keep quality high, and reducing the heavy production workflow that burns most podcasters out. If you’re searching for podcasting tips, starting a podcast guidance, or ways to build a consistent content engine, this one is packed with field-tested lessons.

Brad and Hugo also talk shop on the creative side: why they prefer bullet points over scripts, how a video podcast studio setup can change the feel of a show, and how intentional set design helps tell the story of the guests. They share ideas for future guests, from musicians to unusual professions, and they reflect on an important next step for any host: how to disagree respectfully without turning conversation into conflict. Plus, Brad shares an update on his upcoming book, The Human Advantage, coming in January 2027.

If you’ve ever thought about launching a podcast or leveling up the one you have, listen, subscribe, and share this with a friend who needs a push. Then drop a comment with the guest you want us to bring on next and the biggest challenge you’re facing right now.
