“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.” – Patrick Francey Selected links and people mentioned in this episode: Mindset Matters Registration Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter SHOW NOTES How does one deal with loss? The loss of a loved one, a job, a business deal, a financial loss, the loss of identity? Sadly, the data shows that many simply don’t. Alcohol and drug abuse is at an all time high as is suicide, divorce, and family violence. Is this a phenomenon driven by loss? We really don’t know, but chances are that given how many are feeling - a sense of loss, real or perceived, likely plays a part. Join Patrick and Steffany as they open the conversation about the other side of loss which in this discussion considers the question of what we gain from a loss.
“I know I improve my odds of success when I’m able to work with anybody who has gone before me. I’m amazed how many people are willing to freely give of their time especially when we show up and we pay attention, and we do what’s being advised. It’s amazing how many opportunities are out there when we’re ready to listen and then put some things into action.” – Rae Ostrander Selected links and people mentioned from this episode: Green Thumb REIT Alcoholics Anonymous Tony Robbins Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins What’s Important Now by John Kuypers Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Rae Ostrander. [03:27] Rae and Patrick get down to business as Rae shares a snippet about what he’s currently working on. [04:32] He’s not getting off that easy! Patrick swings open the door, to get a bigger picture of Rae’s business strategy and the markets they work within, which is a little against the grain! [07:40] Gary, Indiana? Rae explains how they find these markets, what attracts him to pursue the properties and the commitment he makes to reveal their intrinsic value. He further expands on how they add value, not for future necessarily (although that’s nice too) but for cash flow, and the exit strategy the best suits their investors. [11:44] Relationship ROI. Rae expands on the Gary, Indiana property to demonstrate how they took over a situation that both solved the seller’s problem and provided them an opportunity to build relationships with the tenant clients. Investing in upgrades and value-adds creates a community based around dignity and respect, where a potential tenant is happy to pay a little more rent to have a home they are proud of. Everyone wins. [16:27] Rae talks about the real estate markets on the US side of the border with price drops and availability, plus the opportunity he sees within that market that many others don’t. [18:35] Creativity as a product of necessity. Rae shares his journey from theology studies and struggling financially to the realization it was ok to make some money! By doing that, he could create the opportunity to volunteer with the churches and non-profits he loved rather than rely on them to make ends meet. [19:45] Rae delves into his own story of troubled teens which brought him to seek recovery and sobriety and within that, incredible tools for self-discovery and development. Naïveté played a helpful part in fueling his motivation to learn and absorb the business of real estate investing. His continued work towards good mental health keeps him aligned in what he wants and what he’s doing toward his own success. [22:44] The fundamental difference between the “doers” and the “I-want-to-doers”. Rae’s time in sales, and coaching brought him some interesting insights around people’s motivation and willingness to do or not do, the work. His own coach and mentor in real estate kept him grounded in a 90-day challenge to stick to his lane and work through a strategy to completion. [27:24] Before we commit to things, it is well worth some evaluation. Answer the questions around why we want to commit to a program, a work-out routine or learning a new language. Is it our ego leading the charge or a genuine desire for self-improvement and elevating our experience? Are we making decisions to abdicate responsibility, or can we commit to finding the true purpose behind the actions we desire to take and take them? [33:40] Rae walks through some of the questions and guidance he offers his clients before they begin their investment journey. It’s really important to get honest about what we want, and to understand what we’re investing in (pro tip: do your homework!

What does that mean? What is normal? So many questions in uncertain and confusing times. We find ourselves looking at, and feeling at the effect of the macro- sweeping opinions, group think and mandates that affect so many- but still having to live our life as individuals in the micro. Join Patrick and Steffany as they contemplate and discuss the world that many have come to normalize. There are specific questions we can ask ourselves, but for many they are hard to answer. Having a strong opinion on one side or the other- yet still trying to find a neutral stance is possible. Listen closely and see if you can hear how Patrick and Steffany navigate their own stands and invite each other to consider another side.
“For me, things didn’t start to change in my life until I started to think differently. Once I changed my approach as to how I think...to get me over the hump of feeling like I’m in this prison that I can’t break out of, that I’ve created this lifestyle. Once I started to change the way I think, all mental, that’s when my life started to change.” – Brian O’Neill Connect with Brian: LinkedIn Youtube Podcast Instagram Facebook Selected links and people mentioned from this episode: W2 Prison Break Dr. John DeMartini The Secret by Rhonda Byrne The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Brian O’Neill. [03:22] Brian and Patrick get down to business! Brian explains what he’s up to in business these days plus the road to, and the motivation for, his personal W2 Prison Break (aka breaking free from his corporate golden handcuffs). [08:08] As an elevator salesperson for 25 years, Brian spent a lot of time on the road, and it wasn’t until an admission from his son, that he finally started taking the steps to give his dreams the light of day. Brian shares an exercise he undertook to get a sense of what those dreams were for him. [10:00] Brian takes a look through his coaching lens to discern the 51 clients who get the same coaching, absorb the same information, but 1 is doing something with it, and 50 are not. Mindset, a purposeful why, and resolve to take consistent action are key. [12:14] From corporate job to real estate and coaching. Brian describes the fears that showed up for him which kept him in analysis paralysis for years and the breakthrough that occurred for him to get unstuck. [15:47] In addition to the intellectual fears around money, Brian also faced the emotional stories that were circling in his brain about how his wife would perceive him if he failed. Turned out his BS (belief system) stories were largely unfounded. [17:24] Brought up firmly in the system of school, good job, steady paycheque, health insurance, etc., Brian naturally gravitated to the same lifestyle, until one of his mentors dropped this truth bomb: the job is the risk. [21:27] Brian describes the way most of his coaching clients have entered the business of real estate investing and how they approach their vision for it. In the end, most entrepreneurs are looking for autonomy and agency over their time and lifestyle. [24:22] Mindset plays such a huge role in real estate investing, and Brian shares some of the primary roadblocks he sees his coaching clients bump up against. One of the clarifying realizations is there is always opportunity in every type of market; the solution is the right strategy for the right market. [28:08] Brian explains some of the creative strategies he undertakes in his business of real estate investing and the process of solving problems. [31:49] US housing perspective: Brian shares what he’s seeing both in his home city of Chicago and what’s happening overall as a result of this past couple of years. There will be a lot of opportunity to help people who may now be in a thorny situation. [35:34] How about interest rates, affordability, and inventory? Brian offers a viewpoint on that as well. [38:45] Lessons from the Corporate! Brian acknowledges the incredible training and opportunities he experienced in the world of corporate which transferred and set him up for success in his own business. It was a mindset shift that ultimately pushed him to take the entrepreneurial leap. [41:18] Brian shares the fork in the road moment that changed his life.

“Another very major milestone was the moment I realized that the limitations that I have for being a developer, being a builder, the limitations that I have because of my access to equity could be alleviated by private equity, by private capital, by investors. We require investors throughout our whole life because an investment is not only a monetary amount, a lot of times people give their time, give a lot of different things to us. They’re investors in us.” – August Biniaz Connect with August: LinkedIn Youtube Selected links and people mentioned from this episode: CPI Capital Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari Zero to One by Peter Thiel Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, August Biniaz.
