The structured environment, camaraderie, and shared purpose instill a profound sense of identity and purpose.

In the face of disaster, some see only devastation, while others find the seeds of opportunity. History has shown that from the ashes of destruction, opportunities emerge for growth, transformation, and progress. And the story of Miami and New Orleans, with its post-Hurricane Katrina revitalization, is a testament to this belief. This tale of redemption demonstrates the immense potential that arises from tragic circumstances. Whether in the construction industry or any other field, embracing failure, seeking new horizons, and pursuing passion are guiding principles for turning catastrophe into opportunity. In this episode, Brett Henderson talks with Alex Hernandez.

And if you are going to fail, it's good to try to fail fast and get back up and get going." - Alex Hernandez 40:18 - "In our business, unfortunately, you're only as good as your weakest subcontractor or weakest link. And a lot of times, that can hurt you in your projects." - Alex Hernandez 40:35 - "It's harder to be in construction today than 15 years ago. A lot of folks have retired. Many good tradespeople haven't been replaced, and now there's a ton of work. It's a tough industry to be in." - Alex Hernandez 42:07 - "There are a lot of things you can do in life. You just have to get up every day and do it. So definitely, find something you're passionate about." - Alex Hernandez 42:30 - "Usually, when you start a business, the more you think you'll get out of it, the more you end up in it.

And I've applied my get-it-done-outside-the-box thinking mentality to building teams and constructing culture and people, which I've been very successful at." - Cody Hall [38:18] - "Our relationships that come from referrals are our best ones. The ones we've gotten through lead generation come and go quicker than it took to negotiate the contract because it's just transactional." - Cody Hall Connect with Cody Hall https://www.linkedin.com/in/codhal/ Connect with Brett Henderson: 310-491-7975 Swe90.com LinkedIn: Brett Henderson https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-henderson/ Strategic Wealth Endeavor https://swe90.com/ Listen to The Veteran Entrepreneur Masterclass Podcast Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-veteran-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast/id1637663213?mt=2&ls=1 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5dLpJvEXTxPjPNjsnmf6MY Google Podcast https://podcasts.google.com/search/The%20Veteran%20Entrepreneur%20Masterclass%20Podcast

The first one is, how strong is your brand perception? How good are your graphics, and how good is your presentation to the world? And the second thing is results. You should work on providing the best results possible at the lower levels." ~ Robert Garcia 23:03 - "When you can provide results for what you're doing, you will stand out.

You don't have to negotiate with people anymore." ~ Robert Garcia 30:36 - "Even in the early days of your business, you have to set a high brand standard. Anytime you start discounting your stuff to make a sale and negotiating with somebody, forget it. It's a race to the bottom, and you will attract the worst clients." ~ Robert Garcia 34:17 - "If you're going to be better than other people, you need to have a unique value proposition that makes you stand out. You need to be visible. You need to have interviews. You need to be creating content that is both advisory in nature and informative. And you also need to understand how to create content that your audience can understand." ~ Robert Garcia 40:35 - "If you show desperation and you show you're only out for yourself and not putting in any work or value for anybody else, your sales will suck." ~ Robert Garcia Engage with Rob Garcia LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-garcia-san-diego/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/robleegarcia/ SHIFT Advanced Life Design Magazine https://shiftlifedesign.com/ Connect with Brett Henderson: 310-491-7975 LinkedIn: Brett Henderson https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-henderson/ Strategic Wealth Endeavor https://swe90.com/ Listen to The Veteran Entrepreneur Masterclass Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-veteran-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcast/id1637663213?mt=2&ls=1 https://open.spotify.com/show/5dLpJvEXTxPjPNjsnmf6MY https://podcasts.google.com/search/The%20Veteran%20Entrepreneur%20Masterclass%20Podcast

After dedicating themselves to a life of service, veterans often grapple with a loss of identity and purpose. However, amidst the challenges lies an opportunity to rebuild, find a new calling, and create a prosperous future. One avenue that holds great potential is real estate—a realm that catalyzes both wealth-building and a renewed sense of purpose. In this episode, Brett and Giselle share a conversation with David Pere. David is dedicated to teaching and leading service members, veterans, and their families to learn how to build wealth, entrepreneurship, and personal finance. Today, he talks about how veterans lose their identity and purpose after serving in the military. He dives deeper into how real estate investing can help them regain their identity, find purpose, build wealth, and make financial freedom a reality. David Pere is the CEO of From Military to Millionaire and Co-founder of the RE War Room Mastermind Group. He is a Marine Corps veteran of 13 years and is currently in the reserves. In 2015, David purchased his first real estate investment. After seeing firsthand how cash flow could change his life, he went all in on real estate. In 5 years, he went from a negative net worth to a millionaire with 100+ rental units, transitioning off active duty to work for himself. Along the way, David started documenting his journey, which blossomed into a massive community of "Military Millionaires" and future Military Millionaires.

Corporate culture is the personality of an organization that defines the work environment and employee experience. It encompasses the values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices that shape how employees interact with one another and the company's mission and goals. While corporate culture can make or break a company, how can business owners create a strong and positive culture that attracts and retains top talents, promotes employee engagement, and improves business outcomes?

Managing the challenges of a changing global landscape requires strong leadership and personnel with critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

How can people tap into the power of their human brain to reach new heights in personal and professional development? In this episode, John MacLaren joins Brett Henderson and Giselle Cayme. A personal and business coach, veteran transition specialist, and Navy SEAL/NSW mentor, John talks about the challenges corporations are dealing with, the importance of leadership biomechanics in unlocking true potential, and the power of the human brain in personal and business development.
