This episode is a masterclass in relationships and mindset. Michael Lewis shares how he went from starting broke—using his last $200 to send mailers—to building one of the strongest buyer networks in the DFW area. We dive into why wholesaling today is less about blasting marketing and more about consistency, trust, and showing up in person. Michael breaks down what makes a great buyer, why greed kills relationships, and how changing his mindset changed his entire trajectory. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed by competition, this conversation will reset how you approach deals and people.

In this episode, we sit down with Beck Beckham, a longtime investor and operator who's seen multiple market cycles up close. Beck walks through his path from sports broadcasting to manufactured housing, mortgage banking, and ultimately real estate investing — including the lessons learned when easy money broke entire industries. We talk about why net matters more than gross, how carry costs quietly kill deals, and why speed and reliable lending partners are critical when you're competing for good opportunities. Beck also shares timeless business advice on team-building, decision-making, and why taking educated risks beats standing still every time.
