Watch this video about the Tardus' Income Snowball Are you buying property with your heart instead of your head? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 3 BIGGEST real estate mistakes I see my clients make — mistakes that are costing them thousands and holding them back from building the generational wealth they’re chasing. If you’ve been thinking about getting into real estate, or if you're already in the game but not seeing the returns you expected, this is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Hey founder friends — today we’re getting real about real estate. I’ve been working closely with clients who are diving into the investing world, and I keep seeing the same missteps again and again. These are mistakes that can totally derail your wealth-building journey if you're not careful. From letting emotion drive your purchases (hello, “I bought two houses in a week!” energy), to sleeping on the power of multifamilies, to straight-up letting fear keep you from getting started — we’re talking about all of it. I'm walking you through the exact conversations I’ve had with clients, the math that matters (yes, we’re breaking down cash-on-cash return in real time), and why your team — NOT the seller — should be your go-to for numbers you can trust. This episode is not about shaming anyone for mistakes — it’s about helping you move smarter, not harder. I want you walking away knowing how to analyze deals like a pro, avoid emotional traps, and finally take that first (or next) step with clarity and confidence. In This Episode, I Share: The #1 emotional mistake new investors make (and how to avoid it) Why cash-on-cash return is the deal-breaker metric no one talks about enough Real client stories that prove you need a due diligence process Why multifamily properties are the Costco of real estate (and why I love them so much) How fear of buying out-of-state could be sabotaging your success 📌 Key Takeaways: Don’t let excitement make decisions for you. Always run the numbers before you buy. Cash-on-cash return is a must. It shows how much money your investment is actually making you, based on what you put in — not just the purchase price. Multifamilies can fast-track your wealth. More units = more income, less risk, and lower cost per door. Your team matters. Never trust seller numbers without running them by your coach, agent, or advisor. Analysis paralysis is real — but so is diving in blind. The sweet spot is educated action. ✅ Actionable Insights: Use the Cash-on-Cash Return Formula: Net Annual Income ÷ Total Out-of-Pocket Investment (Hint: A good return is 8–12% for single-family, often higher for multifamilies) Run deals past your team. Don’t trust turnkey sellers or agents without verifying comps and projected returns. Challenge the “buy local” mindset. Explore out-of-state markets where your money can stretch further and returns are stronger. Set real estate criteria BEFORE you buy. Know what success looks like for you — financially and personally. 📚 Resources Mentioned: Book: Multifamily Millions by David Lindahl — a must-read if you’re ready to scale your portfolio. Tool: Your personal deal analysis calculator (cash-on-cash, cap rate, ROI — learn them, use them). Pro Tip: Build your real estate dream team — coach, agent, lawyer, lender — BEFORE you need them. Want to take the emotion out of investing and start building with boldness? This episode is your crash course. 👂 Press play and let’s get you real-estate ready. 🔥 Join the Audacious Founder Community! 💡 Subscribe & Leave a Review – Your feedback helps us reach more audacious founders!💡 Share This Episode – Know someone starting a business?

    💪 Ready to take control of your finances?👇🏼 Book Your Audacious Wealth Breakthrough Call Now! Get on the email list! Watch this video about the Tardus' Income Snowball Do you ever wonder if your voice truly matters? In this soul-stirring episode, Melissa Manning sit down with podcast coach and story strategist Kristin Chadwick to uncover the magic of speaking boldly, freely, and with real impact. From fearless stories about her daughter’s audacity to hard-earned wisdom on authentic thought leadership, Kristin reminds us why your original voice still matters in a world drowning in recycled content. Whether you’re a podcaster, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, or simply craving to show up more fully in your life, this conversation will ignite a fire within you. What if your daughter’s bold compliment could not only save a life but also teach you how to use your voice more bravely? Together, we dive deep into the ripple effect of audacious, confident voices. From teenage courage to navigating thought leadership in the age of “brain rot” (yes, we go there), this episode is your permission slip to stop hiding, own your message, and bring your full self to the mic — even if you think everything’s already been said. This one is deep, practical, and a wake-up call for every founder sitting on a story the world desperately needs to hear. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Confident voices change lives. Kristin’s daughter showed us the power of speaking up without fear—and how one small comment can make a massive impact. You don’t need brand-new ideas. Thought leadership isn’t about saying something no one has ever said. It’s about saying it in your voice, through your lens. Your story is your superpower. Everyday moments—like a carpool convo or a business mistake—can become content that connects and converts. Clarity explodes growth. The most successful podcasters are the ones who are painfully clear on who they serve and what they’re not about. Make space for reflection. In a world of endless scroll, deep thought is rebellion. Walk. Journal. Breathe. Let the wisdom rise before you speak. 🧠 Actionable Insights: Keep a Story Bank: Start a Notes app or journal where you drop in story ideas as they happen—don’t trust your brain to remember them later! Reflect on Books: When reading something impactful (like Profit First or Ed Mylett’s work), jot down what resonated and how it applies to your life or biz. Make It Yours: Share others’ ideas by giving credit, but personalize them. How did this concept work (or flop) for you? What would you tweak? Get Coaching: Kristin credits coaching—and eventually becoming certified herself—as the game-changer that helped her find her own voice. Define Your Niche Clearly: Who are you here for? Be bold. Don’t be afraid to repel the wrong audience to attract the right one. 📚 Resources & Mentions Book: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz Book: Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés Book: Open This Book by Sara Lohse – for building your thought leadership through personal story Book: The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk Podcast Coaching for Kingdom Entrepreneurs ✨ Final Thoughts In this episode, you’re reminded that your voice isn’t just valuable—it’s vital. Whether you’re speaking to one or one million, your story has the power to unlock someone else’s breakthrough. Don’t wait for permission—speak up. Every time you choose to show up and speak from the heart, you make room for someone else to do the same. Let your voice be the spark that lights someone else's fire.

    #78: How to Build Confidence as a Podcast Host (Even If You’re Not Ready) with Kristin Chadwick, Part 1

    💪 Ready to take control of your finances?👇🏼 Book Your Audacious Wealth Breakthrough Call Now! Get on the email list! Watch this video about the Tardus' Income Snowball Have you ever felt like your voice wasn’t worth sharing? Like the loud, confident people around you had the stage—and you were just meant to observe from the sidelines? Then THIS episode is for you. Melissa Manning sits down with podcast coach and industry powerhouse Kristin Chadwick, who takes us on her deeply personal (and incredibly relatable) journey from quiet observer to confident podcast producer and voice-empowering coach for Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs. We talk about how she unearthed her own voice behind the mic, why podcasting is one of the most powerful tools to spark transformation, and how you, yes YOU, can launch your podcast—even if you’re nervous, hesitant, or unsure. If you’re sitting on a message and wondering if it’s worth sharing, let this be your permission slip to step up, press record, and let the world hear it. 🔑 Key Takeaways Your voice is a key that unlocks something in someone else. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom or a major influencer, your unique story carries weight and power. You don’t have to be loud to be impactful. Kristin went from a quiet observer (literally hiding behind the mic) to coaching hundreds of podcasters by tapping into the strength of being herself. Start small. Start scared. Just start. Getting behind the mic felt terrifying for Kristin—but it was also where she rediscovered joy, purpose, and confidence. Depth over speed. Not every idea needs to be rushed out. Some episodes need to "percolate"—and the best ones often do. Obedience over algorithm. Sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is… pause. Kristin stepped away from her podcast for a full year to hear from God—and came back stronger. 🎯 Actionable Insights 🎤 Feeling nervous to go live or record? Practice with a friend. Do IG Lives or voice memos. Build the muscle. 🧠 Ask yourself: Does this need to go deep or does this need to go now? Let that guide your content pace. ✍️ If you’re shy, start by writing. Let your thoughts live somewhere, then read them out loud. 🙏 Surrender your timeline. There’s a divine pace to purpose. Listen in. 📚 Resources & Mentions Kristin Chadwick’s podcast: Wholistic Hearts Podcast Podcast Coaching for Kingdom Entrepreneurs The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk Melissa’s weekly IG Live series with Brittany: 30-min Monday Lives ✨ Final Thoughts (from Melissa) This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need to be the loudest in the room to have something worth saying. Sometimes the most audacious thing you can do… is whisper your truth into a mic and watch it echo in hearts around the world. If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast—this is your sign.
