About this listen

Real estate investing is not rocket science and CJ Koch, founder of DirectSubs, believes it’s the small things we do daily that’ll propel us forward to our goals. For this reason, he felt that it would make sense to include the word “Atomic” in the title. Our hosts, Nick Cessna and Ryan Dolan will take you through the ins & outs of real estate with the help of our featured guests. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Danny Bennett as well because none of this would happen without his next-level production skills. The goal is simple, to provide valuable insights to anyone who’s interested in starting or furthering their career in real estate. Please enjoy!
