When Jared first jumped into real estate, he thought he’d be a millionaire in a year. Instead, he found himself broke, managing a mobile home park, and losing money on his first flip.

But out of those struggles came lessons that reshaped how he does business. Today, Jared has a thriving book of business, a reputation for protecting his clients, and a bigger vision that merges entrepreneurship with the dirtbag lifestyle.

In this candid conversation, Jared and Fred unpack:

• How failure and struggle forged Jared's approach to business
• Why protecting your borrowers builds more than deals; it builds trust
• The difference between “dirtbag” and “scumbag” and why he proudly claims the former
• What to look for in your dream team (and why rock stars hang with rock stars)
• Where the lending industry is headed as Wall Street plays a bigger role

Whether you’re flipping your first property, building a lending business, or just trying to align your work with your values, Jared’s story will hit home.
