What happens when a 35-year career in medicine meets the freedom and opportunity of real estate?

In this inspiring episode, Lance sits down with Alan H., a seasoned healthcare executive who's turning decades of leadership, grit, and "man-in-the-arena" mindset into a new mission: building wealth, time freedom, and legacy through apartment investing.

Alan shares his journey from managing physicians to managing properties, the lessons he's carried from entrepreneurship to real estate, and how small apartments are helping him create both financial security and personal impact.

What if you could flip land from anywhere in the world — even from the back of a boat?

In this episode, Lance talks with Jack and Jill, the powerhouse couple behind Land Academy, who've completed over 16,000 land transactions and built a thriving community of data-driven
investors.

They share how they turned recession setbacks into opportunity, what makes land the simplest
and most overlooked niche in real estate, and why their business model thrives on partnerships, precision, and a little bit of humor.

In this episode of The Potentializer Podcast, Lance Edwards sits down with Bart Merrell—international entrepreneur, author, and the "Side Hustle Samurai." Bart is on a mission to help people create financial security by monetizing what they already know, already do, and already love.

From growing up on a pig farm in New Mexico, to DJing as a teen, to bungee-jumping in Japan, Bart has turned life's opportunities (and even its setbacks—including the amputation of his leg) into income streams. His philosophy is simple but powerful: when life gives you lemons, build a lemonade stand and sell the stuff.
In this conversation, Bart and Lance explore:

• Why everyone needs a side hustle (or three).
• How to recognize overlooked opportunities right under your nose.
• The biggest mistake people make when choosing a side hustle.
• How Bart transformed personal tragedy into a way to serve others.
• The "Acres of Diamonds" story that will change how you see your own opportunities.
