  • Ep. 41 He Left Google to Build a Real Estate & Business Empire with Chris Geddes

    Ep. 41 He Left Google to Build a Real Estate & Business Empire with Chris Geddes
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, we sit down with Chris Geddes to talk about his journey from working at Google to becoming a full-time entrepreneur and real estate investor.

    Chris started out the way many high-income W-2 professionals do—buying about one rental property per year. But he quickly realized that pace wasn’t going to create the freedom he was looking for. That search for faster growth led him into the world of creative finance, where he and a partner began wholesaling and acquiring real estate in 2023.

    After quietly preparing for nearly five years, Chris made the leap in 2024 and left his corporate job—driven by burnout, but supported by a clear plan and multiple income streams already in motion.

    Today, he owns a commercial flooring business, a car wash, and continues to grow his real estate portfolio, all while using his tech background to improve the operations and scalability of the businesses he acquires.

    In this conversation, Chris shares: • How he knew it was time to leave his W-2 • Lessons learned from partnerships and building with the right people • Why thinking bigger can accelerate your results • The surprising similarities between buying a single-family home and a 10-unit property • Why he wishes he had discovered private money lending much earlier in his journey

    If you’re a high-income professional thinking about real estate, entrepreneurship, or eventually stepping away from corporate life, this episode is packed with practical insight and honest perspective.

  • Ep. 40: The Truth About Short-Term Rental Success with Aaron Kirkham

    Ep. 40: The Truth About Short-Term Rental Success with Aaron Kirkham
    Feb 11 2026
    In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, we sit down with Aaron Kirkham to talk about his journey from working several regular jobs to finding his niche in real estate through short-term rentals. Aaron shares how he first got started by renting out a portion of his own home on Airbnb, an experiment that quickly opened his eyes to the scalability of the short-term rental model and the possibility of replacing his W-2 income. What began as a simple side hustle evolved into a clear path toward financial freedom. We also dive into one of Aaron’s biggest mindset lessons: tenacity. He explains why success often comes down to your ability to ride the roller coaster longer than anybody else - with the roller coaster representing your chosen area of expertise - and how staying committed through the ups and downs can ultimately change your life. If you’re a high-income W-2 professional curious about real estate, side income, or building a business that creates freedom, this conversation is packed with insight and encouragement to help you take the first step.

  • Ep 39. This Investor is taking on Birmingham’s Housing Crisis—and Winning with Matt Burnett

    Ep 39. This Investor is taking on Birmingham’s Housing Crisis—and Winning with Matt Burnett
    Feb 4 2026

    In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, we sit down with Matt Burnett, a former IT professional who walked away from the W2 world to build a real estate portfolio with a much bigger mission: providing affordable housing for 50,000 people in Birmingham, Alabama.

    In just one year, Matt went from zero properties to 32, proving that impact and scale don’t have to be mutually exclusive. He works closely with Section 8 and HUD housing authorities to create high-quality, well-maintained homes for individuals and families who might not otherwise have access to them.

    As his portfolio has grown rapidly, Matt shares how he’s shifting from hustle to systems, scalability, and mission-driven partnerships—so the business can grow without sacrificing purpose.

    If you’re a high-income W2 professional curious about using real estate to build cash flow and make a real difference, this episode is a must-watch.
